Yes ... Dixie your words explinations were great....

And Ann....
You were right... the Bible has 66 books and 44 authors.. my mistake.
You can't believe every thing you read off the internet. I don't know what search engine you used to find some web site with some so called contridictions of the Bible in it. Any one could read the Bible and nick pick things out of it here and there that sounds good to their ears and make it sound like they know what they are talking about on some web page.... so lets look at this again.. I was intrigued to study this out myself...

Exodus 20:5
5.For I the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6.but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me andkeep My commandments

ok now if you research this some the hebrew verb translated visiting can mean coming in an act of mercy or coming in divine judgement. So this is saying a fathers sins effect the third and fourth generation but God has mercy for them and they have and opportunity to turn from their fathers sins....

Exodus 34: 6-7
6. And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, The Lord the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7.keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sins, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation.

once again the hebrew verb translated visiting can mean coming in an act of mercy or coming in divine judgement.

Exekiel 18:20
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father not the father bear the guilt of the son.

I think that is self explanatory.

Deutoronimy 24:16
Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sinn.

Once again that sounds self explanatory.

So where is the contradiction. All four verses agree with themselves.

Mainly I want to say I am not here to argue the word. I would love to say give me another so called contradicion and I will research it out for you but my job as a christian is to bring the word to a lost world not argue with them. And please dont believe just anything you find on the internet and get a bible and study it out for youself.

Thank you for proving my point. You are close minded because it has never crossed your mind that YOU are seeing those "things" because you ARE a beliver.
O.k. now their is no reason to attack me. You stated your opinion and I stated what I know.
For example if you see a dog run up to you and feel it lick your hand you know that dog is really there..... I see God and his works with my own eyes and feel his presence and his joy. Not because I am a close minded believer but because he is REAL... when you see things and feel things that generally is the FACTS THAT THEY ARE REALLY THERE.
