Hello my friend...
There is a man named Steve Roelke who seems to enjoy
spreading his opinion that the Bible has errors. He is
spreading the work of Dennis McKinsey, the editor of the
B.E. magazine.
When I first downloaded the BE2.ZIP file, my
intentions were to research the supposed errancies, and
then present the twisted understanding of Mr. McKinsey
along with the real contextual and subjective thought
behind the scriptures. After viewing the files, I
thought the endeavor to be a waste of time, for Mr.
McKinsey is so full of hatred that he has become blind to
the meanings of the scriptures.
I caution everyone who is even thinking of
downloading the BE file... that you will be presented
with scriptures that are taken by the verse, and not by
the whole "gist" of the matter.
What do I know?
I have been reading the Bible since I was 8 years
old, and have yet to find a contradiction or error
that cannot be worked out... with research and
dedication (not to mention prayer). I have found
through reading Mckinsey's writings that God is not
who he wants Him to be... or expects Him to be.

The inability for some to understand the scriptures
simply corresponds to the lack of time they have spent,
(or lack of heart) searching for the meanings. Many
scriptures can be understood with this simple
thought...
Many statements and events that occurred in the
Bible related to that which was to come... a future
event being played out in the lives of God's people.
Events were also performed for different reasons. For
example: God told the Israelites to kill every man,
woman, child, and all livestock in the lands they were
to inherit when they came out of Egypt. In Mr.
Mckinsey's style, this would present an unloving
hateful got who wants is murderous... and a God who
contradicts the "Thou shalt not kill" commandment...
which He gave.
However, better understanding of the situation and
the surrounding circumstances reveal a very loving
God... who not only kept His promise of delivering His
people out of their bondage in Egypt (symbolic of a
Christian's deliverance of the bondage of sin...)...
but rightfully Judged the other peoples for their
mentioned rebellion to God and society.
It is possible that the rebellious nations, whose
sexual practices involved prostitution, had developed a
disease which had to be cut out as with any cancer...
in order to prevent the innocent from being harmed.
This theme correlates with numerous scriptures
throughout the Bible.
*
My point: do not give the BE2.zip.. or any of the BE
files any respect... not honor Mr. Mckinsey by
sending him money for his futile efforts. I have
provided substantial proof in the "Witness" files
for the validity of God and His word.. the Bible.
