It is a similar, if not exact example of the same thing. I do not discard either one. Why? The beginning part of 2 Maccabbees are letters written by person A. The rest of 2 Maccabbees is written by person B.
It is all of those and more. It is false doctrine.
OK then, all Mormons or former Mormons who have been taught false doctrine by the LDS, raise their hands.
I believe the Bible as infallible and without error; I have never met nor will I ever meet a Christian who believes otherwise, since the bible is the voice of God and He cannot lie nor contradict Himself.

Then explain the discrepancies between those two verses.
Here I go again walking in a minefield. In Mormons’ theological world of our spiritual past and how it is reflected in our skin pigments (I hope I got this right) where do Asians fit in or the freckled for that matter? I would like to know more. Any references?I understand where you are coming from, but God makes no error and is incapable of making error and the books you claim as inspired by God contain error; so you chose to believe that God did not inspire the writers enough to avoid error? Or do you just hold on to the idea that the bible contains error? You can’t have it both ways; you can try but in the end it will not wash.
We are all children of God, and since 1978, no ‘race’ is any different from another in His sight. The rest is all genetics. Evolution, if you want to really open up a mine field.
Please, in the interest of receiving a Mormon response, no pile ons.
I wonder if the LDS’s did the same thing toward the Catholic doctrines if they would be treated the same; probably booted for being uncharitable. You are shamful and embarrasing. Believe it or not you are all made in the image of the incorruptible God and all need the Savior and must take Him as Lord as well. Both of your religions have much in common concerning extra Biblical practises and neither of them teach nor understand the gospel of Grace as Paul put it in Galatians; so how are you any better off than they are? Explain.
Derek, the problem is, those two verses tell VERY different stories of Judas’ end. If the bible is inerrent, how can they both be accurate? This is something we have asked you to do; reconcile these two verses so that they DO, as you claim they do, tell the same story and are both ‘true.’
Yes in the original manuscripts, which we do not have but we have enough , literally thousands and the errors are so minicle and the meaning is not changed. Themn you have to deal with translations from one language to another, but if you believe there is an error or contradiction, then it is you who lacks understanding, not God. This si what makes learning about God and ourselves exciting is when we see what appears to be a contradiction we know it is not and we know we must dig deeper to comprehend, but that can’t happen with the unregenerate.
Carefully study the passages again and the entire context, meaning the audience the timeframe etc, then let me know if you still see a conflict. You obviously believe the Bible is with error and as such you condemn yourself as I see it and how god will see it, but their is the living Hope and we do not know when the HS will move; it took Him 34 plus years before He came to me.
Hey now!!! I resemble that remark!!!
Sorry, but your arguement holds no water.
One thing I know Derek, I leave the judgement of my soul to God. Not you or any other human.
I’ve heard that one…doesn’t explain the thirty pieces of silver, where in one account Judas threw them in the Temple courtyard, and in the other it says that Judas used the money to buy the plot of land upon which he died. Reconciling these takes an incredible amount of assuming…and that’s never a good idea.Yes in the original manuscripts, which we do not have but we have enough , literally thousands and the errors are so minicle and the meaning is not changed.

In the passages you looked at their is no contradiction. If I was at one corner and witnessed and accident where tweo people were thrown out of a car and one was killed and the other was lying flat on the middle of the road. you were there first and reported both the dead victim and the onservation of the other person lying in the road. I come along after the ambulence has removed the dead person and my report will be true as well as yours is. the same is true here, both are correct. If you hung yourself, then the rope broke and there was a rock below, you might hit that and split open your guts; don’t try it though…
