St. Augustine's Answer to Bible Contradictions

St. Augustine's Answer to Bible Contradictions

????

Is it possible to reconcile apparent contradictions in the Bible? When St. Augustine found himself perplexed by something in Scripture, he concluded that there could only be three reasonable explanations for any Bible difficulty. Watch as Frank shares those three insightful reasons. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????

Who CARES what Augustine thought?!?!?

I answer Bible "contradictions," so if anyone has a sincere question, feel free to ask me.

*_Lovely!_* NOT "The" solution to Bible Difficulties, but *_A_* solution. Just the right amount of humility, for *_no one is omniscient, and there will Always be more for us to learn from God Almighty, and from his chosen ambassador, Jesus Christ._* 😎♥✝🇺🇸💯
@schwann145 Says:
Sounds like special pleading to me. "The authors *cannot* be wrong, it must be you!" Uh... yeah, no.
@echoesofthepast-w1u Says:
Rather than "buy a book" you could pray to receive the Holy Spirit. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit you have the Author and finisher of your faith dwelling inside you. He will make all things clear!!
@vladg8983 Says:
The book of morman and Koran has no cotradictions, and if u find one, it is not the book it you who is wrong.
@russellg9622 Says:
If you don’t like the version of the Bible you are reading then just pick a different one. There are multiple versions and if that doesn’t work then just interpret the word of God however you want. It can be changed to suit your needs.
@filipecosta3631 Says:
The Bible does not have contradictions, but most part of Christianity have. Mathew 24:36: “But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." What many religious leaders say: "He didnt knew but he also knew" ?????????????
@truthreigns3465 Says:
How about how Christian’s say that Jesus is God but not once did Jesus ever say he was Hid. God sent him,
@seizonsha Says:
He contradicted himself and argument with the 'heretic' statement. Geez...
@Mr.C-Mister Says:
One contradiction is the big bang theory and lies of millions of years. But you nor Dr. Norman Giesler have given it much thought. It's a window of opportunity for you to speak to kids who've all been taught the lie so I see why you don't let it go. God forbid you've been wrong all these years and the videos and speeches be taken as all a huge lie. But I say do your research and see God made the universe and everything in it in 6 literal days. Read the verse and using proper grammar for the Hebrew language you see there is no room for the millions of year lies. You can also visit answers in Genesis and YouTube their video on the lies of millions of years and see how it doesn't work. God bless.
@G1stGBless Says:
The biggest contradiction people struggle with in the Bible, is that the Bibe contradicts their sinful lifestyles.

Atheists wouldn't be able to prove their own existence to themselves if the logical conclusion is that God exists and lose their children believing without questions asked that gambling causes a brain disease, and when they are told they don't care. Humanity censor knowledge that saves lives, and when they are told they don't care. If you don't understand why God is necessary is because the cult wants you ignorant believing in the impossible to hurt you. Would you understand a logical fallacy to save lives and don't lie to innocent and vulnerable children? Would you understand a deception to stop being deceived? Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly that no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. The proof that atheism is a logical fallacy is that atheists ask to prove that the creator of the creation is God, when God is whatever created the creation by definition!. The universe is a reality of a finite nature, beginning and end, birth and death, transforming. It is impossible the existence of the creation without the creator because nothing can be created from nothing. Atheism is blind faith in the impossible, the belief that the universe was created from nothing or all reality is the universe. "God exists" means that a reality of an infinite nature that transcends the universe exists. Reality is incredibly and infinitely more amazing than the universe because an inteligence created life from eternal existence. God is the most important issue in anyone's life and atheism is the dangerous idea that reality doesn't matter because we don't matter because existence ends with death. Atheists lack emotional as well as intellectual intelligence because a theory on God based on logic and rational thinking can not do harm. God is Time and Space transforming and the debate is bloody stagnated because God is not a personification of oneself to worship, obey and fear confusing hatred with perfect love and perfection with sadism. If anyone can understand that an intelligence created the creation from self from eternal existence shouldn't atheists be cautious and not live lying shamelessly defending an idea with nonsensical remarks like "who created god?" just in case there are further eternal serious consequences for hurting God’s Creation? Life is not a joke that was created from nothing like atheists believe. To end the war in Ukraine the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news.
@pitbull7440 Says:
This is the logic of a cult. "Theres no way what i believe can wrong, therefore everyone else must be". The epitome of narcissism.
@cmar6461 Says:
Just gotta say, looking at that slide at the beginning of the video, it is incredibly misleading. I say this as a scientist who is also a Christian.
@timothyhoft Says:
Who was Jesus's grandfather? According to the Gospel of Matthew, it was Jacob. According to the Gospel of Luke, it was Heli.
@davidmccarroll8274 Says:
The reason people think there are contradictions comes from reading a few verses out of context !!!
@joshuakarr-BibleMan Says:
It took almost two years for me to reconcile the part whdre Scripture states: He who finds a wifd finds a good thing and will be blessed, with my own experience in marriage. The key came only within the last month, when I realized Jesus tells again and again, the blessing is in Heaven, for those who persevere. Looking for blessings in Earth for Heavenly deeds is incorrect and leads only to disappointment.

Who was present at the empty tomb, who discovered it, and what happened?

@francmittelo6731 Says:
It is interesting how all this comes down to individual thought and Holy Trinity God has nothing to say about all the confusion in Christianity. LOL
@jsphfalcon Says:
This is why I'm learning Greek and Hebrew. I hope it will help understand the non-sequiters, like why the wise mean are heading south if they were suppose to come from Persia. Then you find out Anatolia in Greek means Eastern Lands. So they probably came from Turkey not Persia.
@Ian_622 Says:
Augustine was a manichean. He then became a Catholic. I’m sorry Protestants but your doctrines of free will and original sin all come from “the city of god” he also said very unfavorable things about Jews in that document. And on top of it he had a son of which he abandoned. I wouldn’t listen to a word he said lol.
@newcreationinchrist1423 Says:
Amen brother 🙂🙏 thankfully we have the Dead Sea scrolls that show us 99% accuracy in the translations.
@Thundawich Says:
I like it when you read up on a supposed contradiction and then the author accidentally affirms that it is actually a contradiction. Thats always a nice find. On an entirely unrelated note.... Is the explanation for differing dates of the crucifixion in the big book of bible difficulties any different than it is in 'when critics ask', by the same authors?
@carlc4860 Says:
When Jesus appeared, he uncomplicated the complicated nature of the bible by teaching two commandments of god; to love god and love your neighbors( who are also your enemies) From those two action words he expanded his teachings until his untimely departure. From there, the word personal responsibility come into action. Where they to believe and submitted to him, the world we are living in would be different from the world we live in today. 😅
@ajgibson1307 Says:
God bless and Amen
@incredulouspasta3304 Says:
Or... hear me out... the author of the book is mistaken. If you can't even admit that as a possibility, then you aren't sincerely seeking the truth.
@TheRastacabbage Says:
The trinity is only possible if you accept endless contradictions
@melissaschubert1653 Says:
St Augustine - yuck
@larzman651 Says:
I'm here to share the gospel and normal conversation not debate. For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whomsoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life 🙌
@jeffphelps1355 Says:
The Bible message is clear from Genisis to revelation. Humanity needs Godsl's grace......skeptics want to make a big stink mark said one blind man and luke said two. The moral of the story is Jesus shows us the light
@teluvv66 Says:
I've talked with many atheists, agnostics, and skeptics. The reaction is the same. They eventually run out of things to say to refute reality. Atheism does not change reality. Reality is truth. Thank you sir. Keep fighting the good fight and defending the faith.
@alvaroescalante1167 Says:
At the end of the day we will all know who was wrong and who was right, the question is what hill are you willing to die on? I don't know about you guys but as a Christian and I'm wrong about everything and all this wasn't true then cool I lived the best life I could with what I had and that was all. But if it were to be true and as a person who actively denied God, I come to realize I was actually wrong?.... yikes.. Choose what you want but one hill seems way better to die on "if" you are wrong.

Be careful, if you use St. Augustin in apologetics, Leighton Flowers is gonna denounce you as promoting Manacheism.

"Only the original manuscripts only are inerrant" is one of the most ah hoc doctrines of inerrancy you can come up with

How about posting a link to the entire video instead of breaking it up into tiny pieces.
@DrewTrox Says:
That opening slide looks like it's made by someone who doesn't understand what science is. Let's talk about that.

@jeffphelps1355 Says:
The Bible contradics modern philosophy of discovering self. Accepting who you are. Loving youself . thats why people dismiss it. People dont like to hear that thier morally blind and need redemption
@toomanyhobbies2011 Says:
God helps believers understand scripture. Unbelievers cannot understand the Bible from an academic perspective.
@dannyboyakadandaman504furl9 Says:
If the Bible has contradict itself falls on the author not the reader. No the Bible isn’t difficult it’s basically hero’s journey for moralistic purposes. The protagonist vs the antagonist. Good vs evil Chosen savior of the world etc.

People who understand the Bible do not find mistakes in it. They find mistakes in themselves...💙
