What if I told you that the Bible on your dresser is not the same Bible that was written all those centuries ago? Your Bible has been altered! Both the Old and New Testament have been changed over the centuries – either because of accidental copying errors or deliberate editing, countless verses have been added to, subtracted from, or simply edited – often to fit religious or political agendas.
The problem of instruction is Christianity’s biggest problem. Is the Bible perfect, literal, and inerrant? Or are there mistakes in the Bible? How was the Bible written and who wrote the Old Testament and New Testament? Why is it so hard to understand and correctly interpret? If an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, omniscient, and omnipresent God crafted such an important message for his children, we should expect it to be omni-coherent. Instead, we have altered copies of manuscripts – a convoluted anonymous mess riddled with scientific blunders, historical inaccuracies and anachronisms, internal contradictions, and failed prophecies. Let’s explore the Bible and how it was written to see exactly why the Problem of Instruction is Christianity’s Fatal Error.
