Here is an example of an alleged Bible contradiction that of necessity rests its argument on the presumed biblical illiteracy of the readers.


"...he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. " -- Job:7:9

"...the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth...." -- John:5:28-29

[TBC: To the eye of the natural man, yes, those that die do not come back from the dead. That is the limit of Job's argument in this context. Yet, later in the book we have this wonderful assurance: "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me."—Job:19:25-27.]
