Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

[Subduction Zone]

'All' except for what Jesus actually taught that Scripture is 'religious truth' - John 17:17
Remember: Jesus already forewarned us that MANY would come in his name but prove false - Matthew 7:21-23

The problem that is rather unclear. Obviously he could not have been talking about any of the books of the New Testament. They were not written when it is claimed that Jesus said that. And even worse where is "scripture" ever defined in the Bible?

LOVE FOR ALL HATRED FOR NONE is a reason Jesus taught to love our enemies - Matthew 5:44

I wonder what it is exactly that Jesus was referring to when He says scripture.
I know that many a person think it means the Bible.
But seeing as the Bible (more specifically the NT) did not exist back then...

Please keep in mind Jesus based his teachings by his logical reasoning on the old Hebrew Scriptures.
Scripture such as found at Luke 4:16-20

I see that we agree on that. We know that there were other Hebrew holy books that never became part of the Bible. I wonder if some of them were lost over the years.

The ones (apocryphal) that never became part of the Bible is because they are out of harmony with the harmonious '66' Bible books

That only gives us Isaiah as scripture at best. What about Genesis, a book that we know is a collection of morality tales at best. Is it "true" because of the morals of the tales?

How do you know that? That was just the opinion of fourth century Christians.

No, never no, right, please?

Maybe you're getting things mixed up. I hope you have a nice night. Bye for now

Copied from a Google search:
Jesus (Yeshua) made many quotes from the Hebrew Tanakh, or the Greek Septuagint (LXX), but He did not quote every book. Along with Song of Solomon, the following were NOT quoted: Judges, Ruth, Ezra, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Obadiah, Jonah, and Zephaniah.

I think it's always wise to discern probability of direct quote from after-the-fact fill in. I have a tendancy to accept his sermons far over the long-after private discussions written in the Gospels.

So you do not know the "exactly" part?
Does anyone?

You really think the currently accepted 66 book collection referred to as the Bible is "harmonious"?

Is "being harmonious" a requirement for being considered "scripture"?

He also said that "from the beginning..." regarding marriage. Mark 10, Jesus said: "It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ " So he knew what Moses wrote.

The Tanaka was completed centuries before Jesus's time, but I would say it would be difficult to guess how much he had been taught, or even directly heard read. It's not like every household had a copy. From the limited research I've done on this question - very interesting, BTW, he quoted from Psalms more than any other. To me that makes sense to be what children would learn to recite from their lessons.

Also a point to note, the Book of Jasher is mentioned in, but not included in the Bible:

Jos_10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.​

​

2Sa_1:18
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)​

Not all believe in holy spirit, or God's active force in preserving and compiling the books set in the Bible. Some do.

That does not address the question:

Well, he did cite from some scripture, or writings. As I said, for one thing, he told the Jews what he knew that Moses wrote about marriage. And the first man and woman.

I am not asking if he quoted scripture.
I am asking what specific scripture he quoted from.
