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!

Is God's Name Yahweh or Jehovah?
by Soldier77 inhttp://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-gods-name-yahweh-or-jehovah.
subject title refers to the link that i found in another thread, somewhat buried in text, but i thought it deserved to be highlighted.
take the time to read it if you can and just sit and think about it for a second, think about all of the hate and disgust jw's have for the cc and just let that truth settle in.. amazing really.

Books that make you go hmm....
by jgnat init's occurred to me that i have been reshaped by the books i have read, taking my new knowledge for granted, and forgetting that those around me have not been on the same journey.
as a consequence sparks fly, as iron sharpening iron, as we strive to understand each other (or to insist that we are not the same).
there are a few books that stand out, as i refer to them over and over again.
