The Choice: Islam and Christianity

The Acid Tesl 121

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2 000 and

3 000 IS ONLY 50% EXAGGERATION!

I KINGS 7

26 And it w an hand

breadth thick, and the brim

thereof was wrought like the

brim o f a cup, with flowers o f

lilies: it contained tw o thou­

sand baths.

n CHRONICLES 4

5 A nd the thickness o f it

was an handbreadth, and the

brim o f it like the work o f the

brim o f a cup, with flowers

o f lilies; a n d it received and

held three thousand baths.

Whether it is witting or unwitting, the “inspired" writer’s singular
inability to grasp the difference between 2 000 and 3 000 is
unforgivable. It is an obvious contradiction. “AND NO MIRACLE
WOULD PROVE THAT TWO AND TWO MAKES FIVE, OR THAT
A CIRCLE HAS FOUR ANGELS; AND NO MIRACLES, HOWEVER
NUMEROUS, COULD REMOVE A CONTRADICTION WHICH LIES
ON THE SURFACE OF THE TEACHINGS AND RECORDS OF
CHRISTIANITY." — (Albert Schweizer), from his book: “ In
Search of the Historical Jesus.” Page 22.
