"Why have you yet to address the contradictions which exist in the Bible? Are you comfortable with believing in the Bible and the Contradictions?" I do not believe the original bible, the original manuscripts have any contradictions in stories that make a difference to the salvation message, and the contradictions that you do see come from transcribing errors (no copy machines back then). Or another scenario that you see is that the contradiction you see can have both sides true at the same time, just one person seeing it one way and another, another. The salvation message is clear. I have posted it to you many times. And many others have shown it to you as well. If you insist on going through them 1 by 1, be my guest. Post one at a time. God Bless You, Steve PS- Be patient in the timing of my responses. My wife is in the hospital, 29 weeks pregnant. She's bleeding and having contractions pretty regularly. My focus is on taking care of my two children, 10 and 3 and my job right now. Family does not live by, so I am pretty much on my own. So please have patience. What is important to me is you know the true salvation message. If you need it again, please let me know. That is why I am trying to stay focused on Jesus Christ and sin. These are the two major areas you need to get down so you can learn the truth! I'm praying for you!

Either I did a bad job communicating or you took me out of context. I'll assume it was my mistake, as I got another negative response for this post! I'll have to go back and read my post. I'm sorry, my mind is shot nowadays. "The fact remains Christmas and Easter were derived from other Pagan holidays. This you admit." Sorry. If I sounded like I admitted that, I made a mistake in communication. Raymond, and everyone, Easter and Christmas are not derived from Pagan holidays. The root of these holidays are solid as a rock. What I was trying to say, which I did a terrible job at, is that the way these holidays are celebrated today, by the mainstream (not true Christians) is from pagan roots. I mean the Easter Bunny and Eggs (Celebration of Ishtar) on Easter and Christmas being on Decemeber 25th (Winter Soltice). But the holidays, the truest and holiest holiday's of them all, no doubt about it. The origins of the way the mainstream (non true Christian) celebrates them today are from pagan descent. I'm talking about the Easter Bunny and eggs and the date of Decmeber 25. Not the holidays themselves. Again, these original holiday celebrations are the holiest of holiest and should be celebrated this way.. Steve PS- Sorry everyone!
