i have a big problem, im loosing faith in jesus im starting to believe that jesus is made up by some one better said is not real. as i read the bible im starting to believe that im reading a fiction book, im reading to many verses that the bible contradicts it self. im starting to believe that the world was not made by god for example where does the dinosaurs came from? if god said that adan and eve was the first leaving souls in earth. why did god put the temptation of the apple three? why god had messengers as im reading in exodus when he sent several plagues of frogs, mosquitos, etc, etc. and not show him self to the one he was sending the massege to, why didn’t he just pop out of the clouds and tell him to let the people go instead of sending all those plagues??

Saint Faustina once asked Jesus if He was an illusion, and He replied, “My Love can decieve no one.”

Would you please punctuate and capitalize according to the rules of English? I’m having a hard time reading your post.

Christ’s existence is not only verified by the Bible, but by the historians Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, Thallus, Lucian, and Celsus. By the way, none of these guys could even be remotely called Christians.

Please show me the verses that you believe contradict each other.

Genesis is written in mythic form. In which certain words and concepts are not literal but are metaphors to punctuate a spiritual point.

God (in the proper spelling) did not “put temptation” in the tree ( Scripture does not identify what kind of fruit was in the tree-probably on purpose.)

Why doesn’t God just “pop out of the clouds” and show Himself to you so you believe in Him?

Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.
St. John 20:29

As far as the plagues are concerned, each of them involved a punishment which showed that the things the Egyptians had worshiped as idols were not gods but natural things. This is why the Nile is polluted with blood to show that there is no god Hapi. The frogs come as a blight to show that there is no god Heqet. The plague of lice is attributed by the Egyptian magicians as “The Finger of God.” the plague of flies (or beetles) was either against the scarab god Khepri or the a certain fly god. The murrain on the cattle was against many of the gods such as Hathor, Isis, Nut and Bat and many others who were depicted as cattle. Im-Hotep and Sekhmet could do nothing to help rid the Egyptians of the boils; these gods of healing were impotent. Nut didn’t protect the Egyptians from the hail and this was her job. Amon-Ra was ineffective from protecting his eye from being blotted out by the locusts and the 3 days of darkness. The last plague was to show that the Pharaoh and his son were not gods but mere humans.

The sacrifices that the Hebrews offered were also to show them that the gods of Egypt were only animals. Bulls (see above) and sheep (Amun Ra) were among the acceptable sacrifices. (This was also an abomination to the Egyptians as read in Exodus.)
