Let's for instance take this last contradiction that you say many will be cast aside those who come to him will not be cast aside, well, you know that it is the condition of the heart of the person that approaches him. People who think themselves righteous and approach Christ like Nancy Pelosi who have a form of godliness but deny the power. Will be turned away but anybody who comes to him with a humble heart who truly seeks repentance will be accepted
Nice list, you can't take short verses you have to take the whole entire text in context don't forget he's talking to different groups. In certain other passages. That's why the Bible takes a lifetime of study
Something tells me you're not a student of the Bible, and you don't even like it, you just regurgitate information. It takes a willing heart to understand truth and not just information
Hey good list!
Here's another,

Show me where it's out of context, the statements stand on their own. Either everyone that comes to him is accepted or they're not, no gray area.
John 6:37 says everyone.
Matthew 7:23 says NOT everyone.
Shouldn't truth be truth, why does it matter who he is speaking to, unless its propaganda, then you tailor your speech.
You just can't make statements and claim them as truth, because thats what you want to be true. Sorry.

People been trying to rid themselves of the Bible for eons and no one's ever come close. It's the anvil in which the hammers wear down.
Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, Sikhism, ect., ect. seem to be doing a pretty good job at ridding themselves of the Bible.

I don't want the Bible to be true it is true no matter what I want
