they think there the best thing since sliced bread
ruveyn is correct. dry and dispassionate, but correct. without understanding the language and the culture, the translation must fail. it is poetry without context. gibberish made of intelligible statements.
you should go back to where you started. i warned you not to fall for the trick question. notice the lack of response to my last post. god resting and never needing to rest isn't a contradiction. god loving everyone and inventing hell, that's a contradiction. god telling you to honor your mother and father, and jesus telling you to hate them. that's a contradiction. there are plenty of hilarious "word" contradictions in the bible, but you won't get anywhere with someone who is committed to their own self-delusion by playing word games (though they won't offer much better, as reply. note the harping on your use of the word "see").
but that's the thing. you're arguing with people who believe in magic (and ruveyn, with whom you are arguing ancient semitic semantics). you can't argue reality with someone who believes in magic. you can have some interesting conversations about astronomy with an astrologer, you can discuss anatomy with a chiropractor, and you can ask a young earth creationist about the periodic table, but you can't expect them to refrain from making sh** up when they run out of real information or when real information contradicts their convictions. you're arguing reality with people who believe in tarot cards and quija boards (and ruveyn, with whom you are arguing ancient semitic semantics).
but with a hilariously huge grin on my face, i wish you the best of luck!

Haha, yeah your probably right. Its pointless arguing with someone who's looking at whatever through a bias
I just get caught up in the moment and usually get tunnel vision. 
As far as the translation being wrong, thats possible. But most churches, or sermons I've seen on TV have never said, that god rested because he was thrilled and upbeat. I mean FFS, your not supose to do any work on the sabbath, because thats when suposidly god took the day off
I'm guessing because he was tired, never heard of a guy taking a day off because he was full of energy

it's the same reason santa only works one night a year. he works so hard, he has to take a 364 day break.
well, maybe it's not exactly the same, but arguing about it sure is. i was sincere in my encouragement.

What bias? It's difficult to argue many apparent contradictions without begging the question. You don't realize it, but what you're basically saying is that "Because the Bible is contradictory, it contradicts itself." You haven't considered that the "contradictions" aren't really contradictions at all. I've tried to be as brief as I can, which is something I find difficult to do--and I'm not even really a Bible scholar. But I've solved a contradiction that you picked, and I picked one myself. By all means, pick another and we can keep going. Oh, I will be traveling with my family tomorrow to visit a sick relative and will be inundated with "work" on Sunday. Just saying that tomorrow morning will be the last chance I have to respond for a while. But by all means feel free to try another contradiction and I'll even reply with my own.
Waltur: It's nice to see you again, too! lol
