The article Top 7 Contradictions In The Bible does not in any way mean that I do not believe in God. I am a Christian though not religious; I am a CRITICAL THINKER, so yeah I question everything.
You can’t tell me that Emeka carried an olosho for knackings, got home and the olosho turned to snake or mammy water. Most of you believe shits like this but to me is absolute garbage.
So as a thinker I question everything, from traditions to superstition, religion etc.
Intelligent men do not decide on any subject until they have carefully examined both or all sides of it. Fools, cowards, and those too lazy to think, accept blindly, without examination, doctrines imposed upon them in childhood by their parents, priests, and teachers, when their minds were immature and they could not reason.
However, I believe that all Scripture is inspired by God and that the stories in the Bible are actually true. But as I study the Bible, I’ve found out that The Bible does contain some controversial verses in it. For example, the bible says God created all animals for us to eat/consume, but in another part of the same bible, God listed many unclean animals we shouldn’t e at such as pigs etc.
