Candace Owens- I am a forgiving person but Cardi KNEW the tweet was doctored, KNEW it was about private family members and spent a full day lying to her millions of fans saying she KNEW it was real.
That’s next level psychopathic—but to be expected from a woman who has drugged and robbed men

That's definitely a modern Christianity problem, especially with Protestants. A lot for traditional Catholics still hold to the belief that you can't just say you love Jesus, sing some Christian song at church and then do whatever the fuck you want no matter how immoral it is.
But this wasn't a translation issue or contradiction. This is just people interpreting the Bible clearly wrong in an attempt to modernize it.
And I know I dodged the question of translation issues, because that would take a lot of time that I don't currently have, to dig up references, so I'm sorry for that. There was one really good one from a Torah study I did last week, which I stupidly didn't write down, thinking I'd remember it. And I've seen some between the Aramaic and Greek versions of Matthew, ones that seem to be a scribal error. Perhaps I can get that all together for the future.
Heheh yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. I agree with you. It seems to be the human dogma and tradition (much of which came about under Constantine and the Nicene Council) which causes contradiction. I used to think that Paul's words were more contradictory than they are if you don't try to modernize and dogmatize the heck out of them. But like I mentioned, I'm learning new ways of seeing it, and understanding a little more clearly. So no, I don't know of a solid example of true contradiction within the Bible itself, between its parts. Only of churches/dogma with the Bible, much of which arose from Paul's tricky wording in his letters to churches, letters which he likely never would have even thought of as a candidate for including in Bible canon.
I was atheist my whole life. Grew up in an atheist household. I never once read the Bible or knew anything to do with Christianity or religion. I knew of it but didn't know any of what anything meant. I actually didn't even know who Jesus was until I was an adult. I also thought Catholics and Christians were different religions entirely.
I'm just trying to explain how little I knew about religion. About two years ago I started having some experiences that made me question if I was missing some aspect of reality. I started to wonder if maybe there was something to the whole religion thing. I decided to read the Bible myself a year ago. In my opinion, the Bible is fairly easy to understand and it makes a lot of sense when you're approaching it without all these influences by church doctrine and other people telling you how you're supposed to interpret certain parts. After I read the Bible and started trying to get to know Christians more, I realized how I read the Bible and the way people were interpreting things started to differ dramatically. But it shouldn't be that way. The Bible isn't hard to understand.
It reminds me a lot like the second amendment. It's pretty clear. Then people who don't like what the second amendment says change the meaning entirely. Oh, you need to understand context, there were no machine guns then so clearly they meant muskets only... Huh what? That's not what it says, at all. You're making it up. That's pretty much how I feel about a lot of modern Christianity. Which is sad because if you understand philosophy and how moral values impact society, we'd be much better off as a society if people simply followed the moral values in the Bible without trying to corrupt the meaning to mean something else.
