Did Yahweh command child sacrifice at one time?
by srd inalthough there is no explicit commandment or stipulation that ordains child sacrifice in the bible, there are nonetheless numerous passages that discuss it as if it was being practiced.
this post lays the query out.

How can anyone claiming to be part of Yahwehs people so blatantly disregard his eternal laws?
by srd inexcerpts from http://contradictionsinthebible.com/circumcised-or-not/.
given the priestly writer's strict adherence to circumcision as the covenantal sign by which one belongs to yahweh as his people, is heir to the promise of the land, and can partake in yahweh's festivals such as the passover---all "eternal laws" expressed through yahweh's mouth!---we might rightly be able to grasp the seriousness of the charges laid against paul by the jerusalem church in allowing uncircumcised males into the covenant, into the passover feasts, and into the inheritance of the land (galatians).. paul's complete disregard for the priestly writer's beliefs, the "eternal covenant of circumcision" as the priestly writer put it, is blasphemous we might say toward this specific text, the author who wrote it, and most importantly this author's conception of yahweh!
it is no coincidence that the historical record has shown that paul's form of "christianity" was rejected by the jews, and rightly so since it also rejected the torah of moses!

Yahweh, Beelzebub, and the birth of Satan
by srd inot theology dictates that yahweh is sovereign.
this means that he is the creator of good and evil, distributer of health and illnesses, etc.
only later does the idea of a separate "eveil" agent emmerge.

Did Yahweh reveal himself to Moses in Midian or Egypt?
by srd inthe later priestly authors must have been uncomfortable with moses midianite connections, and what that impliedi.e., that yahweh came from midian!
so what did the later priestly writers do?
they rewrote the tradition; they rewrote "history," and expunged moses' midian sojourn and midian wife from history!

By my count there are 79 contradictions in Genesis alone!
by srd injust posted the last 2, which once again highlight the fact that later writers, compelled by differing historical circumstances, rewrote the "historical" narratives that they themselves inherited.
an even later editor then stitched together these two narratives to form the bible as it now stands.. thursday, we now move on to the book of exodus!
