There are many different kinds of bibles, i.e. the bible put together by Jefferson says anything that he wanted it too. Anytime he didn't like what God had to say to him he just cut it out. But the basic editions, NIV, NASB, have set rules to them. If a book contains text that contradicts the rest of the bible, then it can't be apart of it. However, many people find many contradictory passages: www.evilbible.com . This is because there possibly taking the text out of context. For example the bible is actually two religions. The first part; the Old Testament, contains a lot of the Jewish religion, while the last part; the New Testament, is Christianity. And being of two different natures they will contradict each other, like apple and oranges. However bloodyfart has a lot of wisdom on the third point. If the bible could have been proven correct it would have been done so along time ago, you're not going to find anything new on this message board, and unfortunately there are people who will believe in it no matter what and there are those who will not believe in it just as stubbornly. Do research on your own, don't depend on others to convince you of where you should stand.
I've heard that "Case for Christ" is a good book for the questions you have, but i have yet to totally get through it myself.

Also, if it is a waste of your time, don't post. You are now at the level of Bloody.
I haven't gotten into ANYTHING yet, and I can already see this isn't going to be of any use because of preconceded ideas that are brought to the thread without even reading the argument. I appreciate the picture too Blonde, you are a help.
I'll go ahead and stop here, because no one seems to care, but rather wants to bash it. That is fine, I know where you are coming from, and you won't be moving from there any time soon.
If any one wishes me to continue, I will.
