What's your opinion?

My opinion is you need to get off my porch.

Really though a lot of that is just blatantly wrong. The bible certainly isn’t harmonious by any means and has many contradictions throughout. The bible is not scientifically accurate, miracle stories alone absolutely contradict science. The bible does have some worth while information related to history but is certainly not 100% reliable and has many things that have been shown to be wrong. There is no way to verify how accurate it is in references to ancestry and is even contradictory when it comes to Jesus’ lineage, you’d think that would be an important one.

So basically the first portion is a big load of garbage that they simply put out there without grounds. Which doesn’t stand well for the second part about him knowing us, hopefully not in a biblical sense. It is basically a load of propaganda and garbage. They do try to make it sound nice though at least right? Too bad once you look even the slightest bit deeper into it the smell of bull shit starts to come through.
