Why exactly were you listing them for?

question dodger

Read them in their proper context and you don't have a problem, as it is you're quote mining.

so what if im copying and pasting, you cant answer those contradictions and you know it. your religion is bs

Yes I can, and I have read and understood it myself, but to waste time on you is worthless.

Why? Because he disagrees?
if you expect everyone to agree with you, you are wrong, because a lot of people question these things, it is a logical approach to do so, not everyone choose to follow a certain faith without giving a lot of thoughts, doubts, reasoning, etc.

he is willfully trying to manipulate the text.

No, not just because he disagrees. But because he is set on disagreeing. To anyone who has read the Bible completely his examples are not contradictions but contrivances. Seeing what he was doing I decided to walk away; his examples show either that he has no knowledge of the Word or he has knowledge and is willfully misquoting so as to mislead. So as not to call him stupid I must say that the latter is true: he is willfully trying to manipulate the text so as to deceive the ignorant.

He would not be one to listen and to contend with such a person is to waste my breath; he's not going to listen and doesn't care to because he has set himself against God and His Word.

he has set himself against God and His Word.
