Biblical Errancy :: essays research papers
                    Biblical Errancy      People for years have been debating against each other to prove the Bible to be inherent or to be errant. Errancy is a deviation from the truth or what is right. There are many different types of errors expressed throughout the Bible such as transational errors, doctrinal errors and contradictions. How could any book be without error? That would be practically impossible, so in this paper I will prove the Bible to be very errant because of many facts shown.           First, I am going to talk about one of the most important concepts in Christianity, original sin, which is the belief that all mankind has inherited a sinful nature brought about by Adam and Eve. In Romans 5:12 it says, â€Å" Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.†Which means that since Adam sinned everybody else who lives on this Earth has sinned, because of him. Also, in Romans 5:19 it states, â€Å"For as one man’s disobedience many were made sinners†¦,†and in 1 Corinthians 15:22 it says, â€Å"For as in Adam all die,†¦Ã¢â‚¬ No reasoning can make an inherently unjust idea seem right. Punishing billions of people for the acts of one is not only inherently unfair; but also opposes other Bible verses such as: Deut. 24:16 â€Å"The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put t o death for the fathers every man shall be put to death for his own sin.†That verse says that you won’t be punished for somebody else’s sin. Also in Ezek. 18:20 states, â€Å" The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.†That verse also says that when you sin you will be the one punished, not somebody else for your sin. Original sin makes as much since as if I was sitting at home one evening and the police came over and arrested me because my aunt from Germany robbed a bank.      Here is a very clear contradiction. This concerns whether God repents or not. Num. 23:19 â€Å" God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent.
