1001 Errors in the Christian Bible

[Pastor Rune Enoe]

I can't believe the constant aggravations and persecution we must suffer as True Christians™. There's a site titled 1001 Errors in the Christian Bible. Well, pot, kettle, black. There are only 736 errors listed, so the joke is really on the atheists. They want desperately to find fault with God's word, and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye (Matthew 7:3-4).

I browsed around around a little, and I don't suppose I have to tell you how disgusted I felt. Here's one I picked at random:

#254

Mark 15: (KJV)
17 “And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,”

Compare to Matthew 27: (KJV)
28 “And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.”

Joseph’s coat of many colors?

This is supposed to be a contradiction? Whether our Savior wore a scarlet or purple robe? As a Christian heterosexual male I will gladly confess that I have no idea how to tell purple from scarlet from mauve from violet from lavender or lilac (just as long as it isn't flaming atheist pink). Maybe the atheists will be pleased if we all just say it was a scarlet purple robe?

The rest of these "contradictions" are just as frivolous. I could easily take any ten of them and tear apart before breakfast.

And anyway this isn't a contradiction as far as I can see.
He could easily have had two robes on.

When Mark looked he just saw them putting a purple robe on Him.

When Mathew was recording the event maybe he looked up from his notepad when they were putting the scarlet robe on Him.

I can't see a contradiction. What I can see is TWO trustworthy eye witnesses to the persecution of Christ.

It is a well-known fact that Ancient Greek (which Jesus invented) had no word for the color blue. See Homer's "Wine-dark sea".

We know that the sea is not the color of fine American red wine. We known that the Greeks could not all have been colorblind.

It is clear then that the color of the Holy and Perfect Robe was some sort of color like red (wine) or Purple (dark red wine.)

Obvious when you think about it.

Either that, or possibly Mark or Matthew were color-blind?

I must admit, some wine colors can be purple AND red at the same time, or certainly look that way in certain lights. Have a look at THIS -



No doubt half of you will see red, while the other half will say it's purple or plum colored??

I can't believe atheists are being nit-picky over the color of his robes?? It's pathetic.

God forbid you should ever say "wine colors" or "plum colored" to one of these Atheists. They'll probably just ask whether you mean red wine or white, golden plums or mirabelles.

I wish I could see these God-haters once they die and go to Hell. My guess is that while bending forward over a lava vent, they will have a long intelligent discussion about whether they are being molested by purple or scarlet demons.

Re: 1001 Errors in the Christian Bible

Atheists, being all homosexuals, and thus interior decorators, always carry around their little color fan decks.



They will point out that "scarlet" means Pantone Scarlet 19-1760 (not Flame Scarlet, 18-1662, and not Scarlet Sage, 19-1559) and that "purple" means Amaranth Purple 19-3536, not . . . um . . . well, there are about 75 purples, and I'm not gonna list them all.

But it's definitely not "Beetroot Purple 18-2143", because that looks too much like Scarlet.

Practically identical, in fact.

You've solved a mystery! Mrs Bathfire had an interior decorator round a few months back. He seemed quite respectable, although his voice was a little high and his clothes a little garish. I found he was unmarried and thought he would be a match for my youngest daughter. I introduced the subject by asking his opinion on

Ge:2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

He went bright red and fanned himself with one of those things before stammering out that he was in a relationship and hoped some day to marry!

In this world there are 2 sorts of people who are unmarried, fornicators and abominations - I now know the truth! I will have the room disinfected.

In this world there are 3 sorts of people who are unmarried, fornicators, upstanding True Christian(tm) bachelors like Mark Rodimer and Ezekiel Flint, and abominations - I now know the truth! I will have the room disinfected.

Fixed that for you, Brother.

Back to the OP, most likely the Roman soldiers put Jesus in a plaid cloak.

Ok, the KJV is about 400 years old. It was re written by shakespear's friends in England in 1611. In Psalms 46 you can study it as a cipher going down in groups of 14 and 31 which add to 46 (Shakespeare age at the time) and you can see that it clearly reads "I am Shake spear". The King James Version is a 400 year old bible.

The 1611 KJV was not written by Shakespeare. The original texts were written by God's prophets and Apostles over a period of 1500 years, and long before Shakespeare was born. The KJV was translated from these scripts in 1611 by a company of scholars, making it the only true Bible in the English language.

14 + 31 = 45.

Not only are you like your father, the devil, in that you are a major liar, your are also terrible a math.

John
8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The lies that you tell and your innability to be able to adequately add are evidence that you are a bastard child of the devil. No, you are not welcome in the congregation of the Lord.

Deuteronomy
23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

There aren't any errors. However if I translated a poem

"Betty Botter bought some butter,
"'But' said she 'this butter's bitter,'
"So she bought some better butter,
"better than the bitter butter
"Betty Botter bought."

as

"Betty Botter bought some butter,
"So she bought some better butter,
"Betty Botter bought."

or

"Grizelda Spruttocks bought a spokeshave,
"'But' said she 'this spokeshave's scarlet,'
"So she bought a purple spokeshave,
"Purpler than the scarlet spokeshave
"Betty Botter bought."

those are not real translations, just as all the false "bibles" are not genuine or complete translations either.

Recently another robe has been described in different ways.
Black perhaps, or gold or shiny.
They are all correct.
