The Bible is the infalible Word of God. I challenge you to give me a verse of contradiction that can't be deduced by an open mind or being read in context.

Oh, you know... Pi = 3, bats = birds, insects with four legs... All that stuff I've only learned from this site in the first place.
You can't prove or disporve the bible by its own internal evidence or lack of it.
This much, though, the bible maintains some stupid and crap things which would lead one to believe a god had little enough to do with its composition.
Also, in the case of a fundamentalist for 'open mind' read predisposed to believe because they need a social and intellectual prop.
Finally, andwer me this, as the inerrant word of god, how could Moses have attended his own funeral and written about it?
I suspect your definition of an "open mind" is simply a mind which agrees with you.
The bible does not prove itself.
The fact that you believe it does, and you believe that it is infallible is indicative of much that is wrong with people like you.
1 Corinthians 7:12
"But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away."
"Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful."
"That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting."
Ok, what about the whole genesis?. If read in context, the theory of evolution is right, because there is no way to support its thesis UNLESS it's figurative language.
If it can be taken out of context, then it's not perfect.
Also,
"God is not like men, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks and it is done." - Numbers 23:19
"So the Lord changed his mind and did not bring on his people the disaster he threatened." - Exodus 32:14
Bonus! In some translations of the bible, it is said that god repents in ex 32:14
*cracks knuckles* Where do I start.
There is no way that 6.5 billion humans could be descended from the incestuous mating of Adam and Eves offspring to the point of Noah and his family in 6000 yrs. Humanity wiped out again, and then restocked by 8 people? No way.
Ok, if there had been a world wide flood, the rising oceans would have salinated all the land, making it sterile and incapable of growing anything green for Noah to have seen.
Now, with just these three things, you are not allowed to use GODDIDIT as your 'open mind' reasoning. And everything I posted is in context.
Have a nice foaming at the mouth brain implosion!

That's science. The Bible always trumps science in their minds.
Same with the contradictions, if they can't answer the problem they resort to "we're not perfect enough to understand these things yet. we will in the afterlife"
That's what's great about this forum, we get to vent, inform and comedically insult without the really dumn religious retort.
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)

Nope, that's not contradictory at all!
The bible is exactly as infallible as your spelling of the word infallible.
In this sense, an open mind is one from which all the intelligence escaped.
The "let there be light" thing is way out of sequence with everything else.
Two cents, please.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
