Psa 139:7-12 KJV -

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.



This is another good example of the skeptics lack of Scriptural understanding:
The word hell is used to mean grave or place of punishment. David is saying if he dies or takes his life and should he go to the grave or the abode of the wicked he will not escape the judgment of God. In the final judgment death and hell will give up their dead to stand before the Great White throne judgment to be tried for their deeds on earth. Rev.20:13

Alleged contradictions that are based on a lack of understanding are not legitimate contradictions--they are alleged contradictions that exist in the mind that is prejudiced against reconciliation or truth.



There you go again...making excuses for contradictions that you say don't exist.


Look at this logically for a moment ... if you can cite scripture to show alleged contradictions and yet the use of more scripture will make it all reconcile--why would this be an excuse? Any document that explains itself, when considered in context and then in the full scope, does not have a conflict. This is standard protocol for interpreting any document. All we are asking of the skeptic is to make an honest inquiry, examine the immediate context and the full scope, and then use some common sense and good reasoning. Is that too much to ask of a skeptic?
