Factual Errors
| 1 Kings 7:23 "He made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." | Circumference = Pi() x Diameter, which means the line would have to have been over 31 cubits. In order for this to be rounding, it would have had to overstate the amount to ensure that the line did "compass it round about." |
| Lev 11:20-21: "All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you." | Fowl do not go upon all four. |
| Lev 11:6: "And the hare, because he cheweth the cud..." | Hare do not chew the cud. |
| Deut 14:7: " "...as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof." | For the hare this is wrong on both counts: Hare don’t chew the cud and they do divide the "hoof." |
| Jonah 1:17 says, "...Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights" | Matt 12:40 says "...Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly..." whales and fish are not related |
| Matt 13:31-32: " "the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed which…is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest among herbs and becometh a tree." | There are 2 significant errors here: first, there are many smaller seeds, like the orchid seed; and second, mustard plants don't grow into trees. |
| Matt 4:8: " Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them." | Unless the world is flat, altitude simply will not help you see all the kingdoms of the earth. |
