Is this evidence the bible is false?
According to the bible, God gave us instructions of what to eat and what not to eat. There is a list of “clean” animals and “unclean” animals. Clean animals are animals we should eat, and it will be beneficiary to our heath and can cause NO harm to our body, while unclean foods are suppose to be poisonous to our body. But some of the foods on the list contradict this statement. First the supposed “unclean” animal list which are “poisonous” to our body
Unclean List
Oyster (Oysters are COMPLETELY healthy and definitely isn’t poisonous to our body. Eating a small portion of oysters daily, will give you the recommended daily allowances of calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc. There are many other health benefits to eating oyster
Lobster (Lobsters due contain mercury, which even some of the “clean” fish contain mercury, but lobsters are extremely healthy as well. They are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, and release astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that has tons of health benefits. Lobsters are low in calories
Worms (Though disgusting to eat, eating worms definitely isn’t poisonous. And can be healthy for you as well http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3287733.stm) Eating worms that lives in an environment of pesticides can be poisonous, but nothing serious. Fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, are we going to claim they aren’t healthy?
Raccoons (If cooked thoroughly there are no negative affects of eating raccoons. Some people will say eating raccoons uncooked is poisonous, which the bible says. But as you will see when it comes to the “clean” animals, if uncooked can be poisonous as well
Scallops (Outside of it containing mercury, haven’t read ONE article that said scallops are poisonous and bad for us. Also contains a lot of omega 3’s)
All insects with the exception of a couple in the locust family (One, people are insects all the time and just don’t know it. Secondly some insects, outside the locust family, are completely fine to eat and aren’t poisonous, some are, some aren’t.
Also, let’s not forget the unclean bat which is supposedly a bird in the bible
Also why did God create all these “unclean” animals to begin with? What about the thousands of years (really millions, but I will stick to a 6-10,000 year old world for Christians) that man didn’t have this information? Why did he “design” a pig to be an abomination, but waited 4,000 years to tell the world. How many people died because they didn’t know these facts? Seems like a pointless creation to me. Nonetheless
Clean Animals (Remember clean animals do NO harm to our body. So some of these animals may have some health benefits, but they do tremendous harm to our body)
Chicken (Do I even need to rant about this? A lot of chicken are contaminated with Salmonella or Camphylobacter, which causes 75% of meat related deaths. I’m not going to talk about the cholesterol and bad fats)
There is a list of about 30 fish. All fish contain mercury so I won’t get into that
Deer and Elk. Both Deer and Elk have been found to have CWD (Chronic wasting disease) which is similar to mad cow disease. Not to mention the high cholesterol
Not to mention that eating any animal uncooked is totally unhealthy
So is this evidence that the bible can’t be from the word of an omnipotent God?
Christian 4 Jews read Leviticus 11 and what is says about eating unclean foods, especially fish without scales etc
no
Yes you are correct and here is yet another one
MATT 20:12 reads
All Gods must be tested and if they fail he/she/it does not exist. If any human makes a claim about the existence of a god then extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Now we must test according to the person’s claim that their little god is (omnipotent) and werethy of our worship?
——————
The God does not exist Hypothesis’s
——————
Hypothesis: Does your God Exist?
Data Collection and Test:
This test will show either the gods/devils are not as powerful as claimed or they do not exist at all, in either case they do not deserve anyone’s worship.
Here is a simple god/devil test
1. God you will post on every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category on the internet in exactly 30 seconds (GMT) after this post has been made. You will post world wide and your post will state the following:
“I am god, I exist”
A) In every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category must have the same exact time stamp based on human time GMT.
2. Mr. Devil you will post on every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category on the internet in exactly 30 seconds (GMT) after this post has been made. You will post world wide and your post will state the following:
“I am devil, I exist”
A) In every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category must have the same exact time stamp based on human time GMT.
This simple test shows the devil does not exist and god does not exist. Furthermore, there is nothing that states we can not test the devil or god for that mater.
The bible only states its believers do not test god.
On the other hand there is nothing written anywhere that states we should not or can not test the devil so we tested both for completeness.
Note that since god and devil are two dependent deities, if we show one does not exist then the other does not exist.
Theory God does not exist
**We have shown that gods of any kind do not exit exists
**There is no god and there is no devil
Now happier times are a head for all people
Are you talking about today’s food or 2000 years ago?
Dude, in the first sentence of the first chapter I knew it was false so why waste your time trying to prove it. Christians will not believe you and the normal among us don’t care!
Matthew 15:11
What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’ “
That would be evidence that you do not read well. Try to slow down.
Like the saying goes: “you can take the jackass to the pond, but you can’t make him drink”. No matter how much logical explanation you give them, they won’t give up their imaginary friend!
ok The Bible was not actually written by God. It was written by men, lots of men accross a vast distance and over centuries. God may have communicated to some/all of them b ut not like we think of communication. God didn’t just start talking in the scribes ears. And just because God communicated to the authors what to write, doesn’t mean that they listened.
there’s 3 ways to interpret the bible:
1) the words of bible=the words of God
2) the words of God are contained in the words of writer of the bible (which i beleive) this one is focused on the bible as open interpretation, full of metaphores and allagory as well as history
3)bible=literature/work of fiction
No, you’re making assumptions. That clean is connected to good to eat.
You could just as easily say the distinctions were so god could eat all the oysters himself.
Some theories are that rules evolved to prevent eating things that caused problems, like those oysters. In a warm climate, with little sewage treatment. Oysters often aren’t good to eat as they are filled with bacteria. All those only eat oysters in months with an R in them folk sayings, say the same thing, don’t eat oysters in the summer.
Other theories point at the prohibition of pork and link it to most of the pork is a no no religions being located in areas where it isn’t cost productive to raise pigs. So only the rich get to eat pork becomes nobody eats pork. Notice how no religion in a part of the world where pigs cost little or nothing to raise prohibit pork. Odin’s folk don’t need those acorns, so pork is somewhat holy.
Maybe this God just hates certain animals and wants them dead, after all, genesis claims he loves a good barbecue.
God abolished the rules for clean and unclean animals to Cornelius. Cornelius had a vision in which the “unclean” animals were lowered on a sheet in front of him and God said to eat. Cornelius did not want to because the animals were unclean. God said “What God has cleansed, is not to be unclean to you”. He said ALL animals, fish, etc were now able to be eaten. This is in Acts 10.
Jesus also stated many times that all animals were good to eat, that they were not unclean anymore.
I guess you didn’t read that chapter.
