I can always tell when someone is campaigning for their own ego rather than actually raising a good point / pointing out a decent issue. Today we can get many essays on Bible topics if we just care to Google. However, the next step is the hardest... actually researching the topics we are searching out. People who contact me rarely have a point. They cite Bible contradictions that are so well covered, it is embarrassing for them to disclose that they haven't researched the issue. I suspect that many condemn the Bible without investigating it. Condemnation before investigation exposes commentators as frauds who are presenting their blog entries for other reasons, usually attention.
Not wanting to find out about God is the core of sin and I don't give time to people whose only intention is to appear 'in the know' about the non-existence of God. Over time (lots of it) the best thinkers on the planet have taken a swipe at God and the Bible. Many have bothered to research the subject and come up with what amounts to the reason why they don't want buy in. It is never a conclusive denial of the Bible's accuracy or proof of the none-existence of God. The Nobel peace prize for disproving the Bible / God remains intact!
If you are searching for God or even searching for a reason against God then be honest. Research via Google if you must but take seriously the papers written, the apologetic cited or the teachers' exegesis. Why not be more honest and admit that you want to freely sin without accountability to God who created you and you will answer to. A choice is given to fallen Man. You either accept Messiah and take the wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus Christ or you reject Him. There are consequences for both.
You aren't adding to thinking by resurrecting old so-called Bible contradictions. You are massaging your own unbelief by refusing to be honest and robustly research both sides. I pray that you can see beyond your philosophy and accept amazing Grace from the hand of God.
