Does the Bible contradict itself?

by Andee Sea Cae Jak

One of the arguments often used to deny the credibility of the Bible suggests it contains too many contradictions. At first glace, The Book of Daniel’s 12:4 and The Book of Amos’ 8:12 do appear to contradict one another:

• Dan 12:4 states “[]”
• Amos 8:12 states “[]”

When I first noticed this so-called contradiction, I was blessed to have on hand a dictionary¹; so, I looked up the word “knowledge”. I soon realized that knowledge was merely a compound word:

a) know: to recognize/to realize plus

b) ledge: a shelf-like projection.

Trust those Oxford-positioned individuals to indoctrinate us into thinking that the word “knowledge” had something to do with wisdom or “I.Q.”² by redefining it over time. Now, whenever I:

• see a bookshelf, I call it a know-ledge and
• see/hear the word “knowledge”, I substitute the word “[awareness]” to better comprehend a sentence’s meaning. 

“Please pass me the first book on that know-ledge? I’d like to have awareness of whatever’s written on the final page.”

 

Thesauruses, while handy, are only the first step in trying to “find your words”.
