The Bible - the main source of revelation for Christians - is full of contradictions, yet it is considered by devout conservatives to be "The inerrant word of God."
Key contradictory scriptural passages - including different attributed to Christ on the same subjects - are extensively included in this short book. These contradictory passages gave birth to different Christian religions, mainly along the lines of Catholicism and Protestantism, and within the latter two major denominations: Lutheranism and Calvinism. Remarkably, all of these religions base their respective doctrines on the same source of revelation, the Bible, which is logically impossible.
Thus, the writer asserts that biblical paradoxes prove that biblical revelation is flawed, and therefore, the Bible itself makes the case for Agnosticism - a doctrine that contends that religious claims are unknown and unknowable.
Carl Daher Delnero is an ex-Episcopalian and an Agnostic.
