Apparently there are more than 400,000 variations in the Greek manuscripts that are the basis for the New Testament. Which means there are more variations then there are words in the New Testament itself.

Truly incredible that God, in their infinite wisdom, sent us this message, which we're evidently not able to decipher.

I'd love to see one with the old and new testament references highlighted in different colors

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Also the ones where Paul contradicts Jesus.

Any way to make it smaller?

I wanna see a version that is just Old Testament. One that is just New Testament. And then versions with and without revelation.

Grey bars are new testament

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. But I wanna see one without the lines coming in from the Old Testament or going out to the Old Testament. Kind of just want to see new and old separate.

I wish they highlighted the most important contradictions, ngl I don't care about contradictions about some old guys number of sons, some Christians admit the bible is a source, like all historical source, and the authors make some mistakes. But for example Alex O'Connor talks about how the contradiction in the gospels of whether or not Jesus went to Egypt or to a temple or something, which fulfills some Messiah prophecy, indicating Luke (Or whichever Gospel author wrote it) was intentionally lying to make Jesus seem more like the Messiah. Also an explanation of why each contradiction matters. This seems more like a boring gotcha than something to learn about.

Please tell me there are ones for the Quran and the Bhagavad Gita

I'm not sure that the OP is being exclusive, just shading what they have. Fair point though, every religion will have similar. Now I'm thinking there would be useful for every political party too. Would certainly share the trees.

Bhagavad Gita is not the equivalent for Bible. In fact a "Bible", i.e. a singular holy book that governs everything - doesn't exist in Hinduism.
