This will be in three parts.
Part 1:
The Bible is full of inconsistencies in translation and messge. (I'm in a hurry, so I apologize for any mispelengz.) :D
Examples of inconsistent translation: [b]1.[/b] You have Adam and Eve (2 people), who begat Cain and Able (that makes 4). Cain kills Able (that makes 3) and then takes a wife. (Um, where the hell did she come from?) The original text doesn't read as "Adam and Eve" as singular, but plural "Men and Women." [b]2.[/b] The "Red Sea" that Moses split is wrongly translated. It should be "Sea of Reeds" which is totally different.

These are the two that I can bring up quickly (I have more, but not the time right now. Sorry.) I realize that these are in the old testament, but that's what the New Testament is based on. If they can't get the original correct, why should I believe the new one? They distorted it to fit their needs.
