Is God Colorblind?

Re: Is God Colorblind?

If God wrote the Bible (which he certainly did not) was he color-blind or forgetful?

He seems to have the colors confused of the robe Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) wore:

Matthew 27:28



28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.


John 19:2


2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe


Just so we are clear, THIS is scarlet and THIS is purple.


Well? Can anyone answer this?

I don't see the problem here.

So it was dark red, perhaps what we would call a maroon? BTW, if the colors are wrong it's not God that is color blind, it's either Matthew or John.

Re: Is God Colorblind?

I've been asked this question before by people seeking to trash the infallibility of the Bible. My apolegetic answer has always been: The robe was both colors. Half of it was purple and the other half scarlet. You also fail to mention that Mark as well mentions the robe being purple, so thus we have Mark and John saying it's purple, while Matthew says its scarlet.

Think of it as a "glass half-empty or glass half-full" kind of deal.

It makes sense that the robe would be both colors. The book of Revelation also mentions Babylon as having been decorated with purple and scarlet.

Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

That Muslims have no taste and always wear exactly the same clothes doesn't mean everyone else does the same. Most people have different clothes in different colors.
