C.
I never saw all these contradictions before. Are there any
more?
M.
Yes, there are dozens more. But is this not enough to deny its
holiness? Read the following:
Genesis 6:3
: “And the Lord said,
‘My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is
flesh, yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.’” How
old was Noah when he died?
C.
I don’t remember.
M
. More than a hundred and twenty years. Read
Genesis 9:29
:

“
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years
when he died.”
Some Christian theologians do not maintain that
the maximum age of man will be a hundred and twenty years
but that the flood came in a hundred and twenty years.
M
. Even this doesn’t fit because at the time of the flood Noah
should have been 620 (500 + 120) years old, but the Bible states
600 years. Study these verses-
Genesis 5:32
: “And Noah was
five
hundred years old
...
” Genesis 7:6
: “And Noah
was six hundred
years old
when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Was he
500 years old or was he 600 years old?? Clear contradiction.
Christianity believes that God created man in His image. This is
according to
Genesis 1:26
: “And God said, Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness . . .” But this contradicts
Isaiah
40:18
and 25
: “To whom then will ye liken God? Or what
likeness will ye compare unto him? ... To whom then will ye
liken ME, or shall I be equal? Saith the Holy One.” See also
Psalm 89:6
: “For who in the heaven can be compared unto the
Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto
