You CANNOT disprove the Bible.
There are multiple quotes in the bible declaring that the earth is flat and that the sun rotates around it. The creator I am sure would know this to be incorrect. These passages were the cause for the excommunication of Galileo who proved it inaccurate.
"Western Christian biblical references Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16:30 include text stating that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." In the same tradition, Psalm 104:5 says, "the LORD set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Further, Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "And the sun rises and sets and returns to its place, etc."
It would be impossible to cover every montain on earth with 40 days of rains. Where did all of the water come from and where did it all go?
The ark would have to be so unfathomably large to be seaworthy with the technology available then. Animals from South America and Australia could not have gotten to the ark. The carnivores would have starved or wiped out alot of species.
The Earth is most assuredly older than the bible states, which I believe is 6,000-7,000 years old. This would contradict most fields of science.
Jesus prophesied that the second coming would occur during the lifetime of his followers.
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Matt 16:27-28 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. Matthew 10:23 (see also Matt 24:29-35, Mark 13:30-31, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27, John 21:22, Matthew 26:64, Mark 14:62)
Leviticus 11:20-23 inaccurately describes locusts, grasshoppers, beetles, and crickets as four-legged creatures.
Deuteronomy 14:7 also incorrectly described hares and rock badgers as cud-chewers.
Proverbs 6:6-8 described the ant as an industrious creature, "which having no chief, overseer, or ruler provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in harvest."
If the bible was written by the grace of God, HE WAS WRONG.
In Matthew 27:3-8, Judas returns the bribe he has been given for handing over Jesus, throwing the money into the temple before he hangs himself. The temple priests, unwilling to return the defiled money to the treasury,[39] use it instead to buy a field known as the Potter's Field, as a plot in which to bury strangers. In Acts 1:18, there is no mention of Judas returning the money, and his death is attributed to falling over in this field and his intestines burst out.
Raymond E. Brown puts this forward as an example of an obvious contradiction: "Luke's account of the death of Judas in Acts 1:18 is scarcely reconcilable with Matt 27:3-10."[40] Various attempts at harmonization have been tried since ancient times,[41] although Charles H. Talbert concludes that these are unsuccessful.[42]
Again, if inspired by god, why would there be inconsistencies? If there are some provable inconsistencies how can you declare anything in it is 100% accurate?
And finally:
Most of the scriptural requirements concerning the Messiah, what he will do, and what will be done during his reign are located in the Book of Isaiah, although requirements are mentioned by other prophets as well.
The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)
Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)
The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)
He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via Solomon (1 Chronicles 22:8-10, 2 Chronicles 7:18)
The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)
Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)
Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)
He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)
All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)
Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)
There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)
All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)
The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)
He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)
Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)
The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)
The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)
Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)
The Temple will be rebuilt resuming many of the suspended mitzvot (Ezekiel 40)
He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)
Jews will know the Torah without study (Jeremiah 31:33)[3]
He will give you all the worthy desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)
He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9)
Most of these did not happen. According to the old testament these events would signify the original coming of the messiah. Since most did not occur, Jesus did not fulfill most of the prophecies of the messiah.
I will anxiously await your post on how it doesn't matter and one needs Faith and Belief.
