Host of KSM show, Kwaku Sintim-Misa says he has a serious problem with the bible of Christians.
Speaking with Nkonkonsa.com, Kwaku Sintim-Misa, affectionately called KSM stated that the bible is full of contradictions and believed those who wrote it decided to treat God like humans.
He wondered how the bible says one thing in a particular chapter and the same thing is refuted in another chapter. An example by him is God being all-knowing and all-powerful but in the bible would put Abraham to a loyalty test.
He asked how can the all-knowing God not have known that he (Abraham) wasn't going to sacrifice his son for Him. He also quoted a portion in the scripture that says God regretted making Saul a King and questioned how the almighty Deity would behave like a human being.
''I have a problem with the bible in terms of there are too many contradictions. Let me give you a quick example. The bible itself says God is all-knowing. Before tomorrow, God already knows what I, KSM, will do. So, if you say you have this all-knowing God, all-powerful God and then somewhere in the bible tells you that God had to go and test Abraham to see whether he was loyal, are you not contradicting yourself? God should have known that Abraham will not kill the boy. You're God. You're almighty; you know everything. But if you tell me God tested him (Abraham), I have a problem with it. These are some of the contradictions.
''Those who wrote the bible wrote it from the point of view that we're humans and so let us attribute the same human qualities to God. So, God gets angry. In the bible, you'll find God angry. He said I have regretted that I made Saul King. God is not human. God doesn't have the attributes of a human being to be angry'', he stated.

I have seen people create their own contradictions , so that they will have the mental clarity to go ahead with their vices . All I say is there is God , and if you don't take care u will disgrace yourself .
KSM come again, those who do these things, we know...
Take your time and study the bible with prayers, and you'll come to acknowledge there's are no contradictions in the bible. Because the bible is God's word, one need the directions of God's spirit to study and understand.
Kindly listen to Dr, Abel Damina on facebook or ***barred word*** He has answered all your questions in his preaching. No contradictions at all. You only lack understanding
I am not surprised. Even people who lived with Jesus Christ, The Greatest Man Who has ever walked on the earth, and who heard him speak and performed miracles and later got to know his ascension to Heaven did not believe him. It call for those who are humble and who patiently read the bible to believe Jesus Christ and the Bible. Take not that in the Parable of Rich Man and Lazarus (the poor man) this is what Abraham told the rich man in Luke 16:27-31 " 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” The time to understand the Bible and appreciate its contents is now. If there are certain issues that KSM does not understand, there are several teachers to consult. Some of the teachers would even come to knock at KSM's door and voluntarily offer Bible Studies freely, at no cost to KSM. KSM is advised to take this nice opportunity to clear any doubt before it becomes too late for him.
The Stories were written for us and God inspired those writers of scriptures but they used their own words. Please take your time and compare scripture with scriptures and the "inspirer" can help you understand.
Oh my brother KSM the son of the most revered Presbyterian Moderator Most Rev Sintim Misa saying this in public is a betrayal to the entire Sintim Misa family.I used to listen to the sermons of your father and he once said the name Onyankopon is rather Onyakropon meaning the only God.We presbyters cherished your father's deep teachings of the Bible you do no longer believe. You are entitle to your opinion alright but I do not expect from the son of a renowned man of God moreover a Moderator of one the most popular Christian faith.Ghana owed most of development of the Basel mission especially the Twi language and more.
God is an Author of the story of mankind. The fact that an author knows how each character in a story would behave doesn't mean the author must stop the story from proceding. So typically, when you see the protagonist(blowman) being chased and he slips and almost falls off a cliff but manages to hold onto something precariously and is finally rescued, do you say because the Author knew the protagoniay would be saved eventually there is no need to play out that intense scene?
You will have contradictions when you read the Bible like any ordinary book. Ask God to guide you and interpret the Bible to you as you read it, not with your own understanding. The Bible says in Romans 8:6 that the mind of the flesh is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Allow God to guide you through the word, not your own mind.
KSM, yes God knows everything as you said but he tested Abraham for our sake so that we'd know and learn something from it. Again God has emotions and feelings so he sometimes exhibits it when the time comes.
