The contradictions of the Bible

Zeinb Abdelaziz (PHD)

Translated by :Magdy Abd Alshafy Christians often turn angry and displeased when some comment on the contradictions in the Bibles- these contradictions that amount to fearful numbers . They even indict whoever claim that that they encroache upon the sanctity of the holy revealed texts . To refute this fact they say : these are not paradoxes but rather facts that integrate one another they claim that !ust to cover up these scientific contradictions "n fact these claimed sanctity was impeached by #atican three times: the first was in Trant synod in $%&' that issued a decree that ( )od is the author of the *oly Boo+( a sentence that is recorded in the document of this synod and that curse will haunt whoever as+s about the credence of anything . , -ynods volume $$$ $..&/ The second time midwifed the advancement of science historical studies and linguistics this time #atican bac+trac+ed on its first decree ( )od is the author ( to say in #atican synod $0'. ( )od inspired the apostles through the holy ghost , to write the Bible / The third time was in the #atican synod $.'% in which the critical studies that laid to rest the credence of the *oly Boo+ generally and the 1ew testament in particular was given the main interest . se2uence to long consultations and study concerning how to couch a new sentence to express that re2uired change which is contrary to what remained for long centuries to be once-clampdown decrees concerning deeming the biblical infallable they reached five formulations to dilute the impact on the adherents and they conceded on final formula with consensus of 34&& supporting voters against ' voters opposing . The final decisive word issued from #atican concerning this point was ( These boo+s though containing what is incomplete and what is false testify to the fact that these were divine moral lessons(

"n (The 5orld of the *oly Boo+ maga6ine number ($47( -eptember to 8ctober an article entitled ( 5ho wrote the *oly Boo+ ( comments on the same point this aticle came in the first place we read an article by professor 9.Moinght faculties of 9aweit paris in which he refers to two difficulties apropos to the *oly Boo+ he says ( the *oly 1

Boo+ is not a boo+ as the term boo+ really means rather it is a complete library it is a group of boo+s and a group of literary +inds from different languages whose authorship can be traced bac+ to tens of centuries and that all its boo+s were collected gradually. -econd each of these boo+s wasn:t authored at one go by the same author bur rather each boo+ was authored or rather collected from scattered pieces of heritage and dispersed writings from different sources after being rewritten and reformulated and substituting parts in the place of others . This citation shows how this information has become common that they are widely handled on newspapers and maga6ines. "f we bear in mind the final resolutions of 9esus -eminar which states that (03; of the words that are ascribed to9esus weren:t his and that 0'; of the deeds that were ascribed to him were not his either we will surely conceive how haplessly exorbitant the situation is and how deep the chasm between the facts and the scientists is the multitude among them are theologians moreover so grave is their feverish insistence to proselyte the world into Christianity at any cost notwithstanding mottos such as they respect the adherents of other religions that they chant resoundingly and vociferously . My aim is not to hurt the feelings nor degenerate any one as no one here to be held accountable for what these synods had inserted or changed over the span of history but my aim is to put forth the 2uestion to Moslems who remain a target to persistent campaigns supported by political pressure for converting them into Christianity . Can those who persistently insist on proselyting the world into Christianity reali6e how grave and heinous that act is when they try to uproot the others: religion < Can those who are e2uipped with all potentialities desist promulgating such texts and doctrines of which its men confessed that they comprise what is incomplete and what is false<=== "t is ironical that they tried to circumvent the glaring contradictions though they already referred to by claiming that they are expressions of different visions or expressions or they integrate one another>.so a phrase li+e ( the bible according to >( is coined though this phrase implies a large area of implicit s+epticism. A cursory loo+ at these contradiction that the British ?ncyclopedia estimated to be $%@.@@@ and now doubled by latest studies will enable the reader irrespective of his religion to touch the reality and if they could be trusted as divine texts . Changing the words of the bible is going on to the extent that you find that the bible in ?nglish for example still +eeps some words while in Arabic we find that the translation of some words have been changed for nothing but to match the newly discovered facts for example the word circle in the following verse ("t is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth(has been changed to be ( the globe ( while we can find the translation of the circle is still there in old version of the same Bible A it was a crime according to the church standpoint for which )alileo stood before the court and it is clear that this change was inserted after his words were scientifically proved to be true .
