"Apologetics deals with answering critics who oppose or question the revelation of God in Christ and the Bible. The purpose of this class is helping the Christian to "always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks them to give an account for the hope they have". It touches on the key issues of our Christian faith."
This quote came from this site.
Well, the biggest stumbling block to the Christians' defense of their faith is the very book on which they place so much credence. If the Bible were perfect, it should not need a "new" testament. The original should been just fine, perfect actually. But that is clearly not the case.
Next, the Bible is riddled with so many contradictions (and these) that it could not be used as a textbook of any credible value. I mean would you use a math book where in the first chapter, 2 + 2 = 3, and then in the next section, 2 + 2 = 8.721?
Lastly, why are there so many versions? I don't see the need for more than one version of "perfection".
It is annoying to me to hear Christians say, "I have read the Bible and.... <insert mindless drivel here>" when unless you can read ancient Hebrew, Greek, and oh yeah, Aramaic, you haven't read shit but some other ass wompler's translation.
I was recently asked by a friend of mine who teaches apologetics at his church's Sunday school class, "What would you consider a perfect book? (meaning the Bible)" My reply was that if you had a book that "magically" was readable by any person holding it at the time, regardless of that person's actual language, then you would have a book that not only did not need to be translated, but would also irrefutably prove the existence of God. He said that was stupid.
Riiiiiiiight. My fault.
