Bible Contradictions #21: Should Christians preach to atheists?

Bible Contradictions #16: What does the bible say about men who are castrated?

Are you a Christian whose manhood was taken? It’s unclear what this means to your afterlife. We can’t blame this contradiction on Jesus changing things because Deuteronomy is contradicted in Isaiah 56:3-5 as well as the aforementioned Matthew. The contradiction … Continue reading
