does it strike you as odd when somebody who obviously doesn't accept all the old bible stories?

Yes, as I suppose the asker is looking for a reasoned answer rather than an answer based on the fallacy of circular reasoning. People who accept the Bible as true and free from errors are operating on a different paradigm, so to them, when they quote scriptures, they think they are quoting the truth. I have been there before, and I have come to realise that the Bible is just a collection of books written by people who were only projecting their idea of god in the old testament, and has a number of errors in the translation process.

Here, let me help you:

It strikes ME as odd when somebody who obviously doesn't accept all the old bible stories as true, asks a question that requires a reasoned answer and other people respond by quoting pages of bible scriptures. I think they actually think that the questioner is going to be convinced by a book that is proven to have hundreds of thousands of errors ... or that they are just trying to show that they have memorized great quantities of verses to support their opinions.

See, it's not that hard to express yourself without posing questions to hide the fact that you're ranting.

Your contention that the Bible is proven to have hundreds of thousands of errors is highly subjective. Show me proof, or at least show me evidence to back up your claim.

see this answer :

"The Bible is one of the best sources of proof because it as stood the test of time wich should make it fact"

this is why we mock, cause some people just say the stupidest things and then think it somehow supports their beliefs.

looks like somebody missed a few years of school.

Cus they have been led via a blind. The canonized bible is the Latin Vulgate. It took the Catholic church approximately 4 hundred yrs to finalized it. a] The bible is made up of forty six books of the old testomony and the very source is the Septuagint, that's the authorized version even before Jesus' time and grow for use via Jesus. St Jerome translated it from Greek to Latin. b] The NT of 27 books grow to be accdgly acknowledged as inspired and translated via St Jerome from Greek to Latin. c] There are approximately 3 councils that canonized the seventy 3 books: Council of Rome -383 advert,Carthage in 397, Hippo in 393. those canonized books have been then sanctioned via the council of trent in 1545. there is not any reason in any respect the way via any useful man or woman to apply different version or the different translation, except you violently protest the Catholic church. d] The temple of jerusalem grow to be annihilated in year 70AD via the Romans; the rabbinical Jewish have been additionally persecuting the christians at that element and extremely jealous of the fast upward push of christianity. So, additionally they got here up with the think Jewish council of Jamnia in 90AD that cannonized the Jewish books to temper the hot Christian faith. The council is off aim VERY UNCHRISTIAN. The council in keeping with se, is even questionable. some stated it is not a council yet only a jewish getting to know college. e] question: why might A protestant in his/her useful physique of strategies, undertake the sixty six Jewish books whilst it grow to be written in an extremely extremely antichristian way.

I guess their reasoning is if they can get you to question/doubt your knowledge on one flaw, you'll assume all other faults you've found will be questionable to you, too, and then you'll see 'you just didn't understand' and immediately turn around and have faith again.

This is the Religion Section. If you want philosophy, GO.

The Bible is one of the best sources of proof because it as stood the test of time wich should make it fact.

YOU Strike me As VERY Odd...
