Christianity is false because it contradicts itself.

"But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die. None of the offenses he has committed will be remembered against him. Because of the righteous things he has done, he will live." --Ezekiel 18:21-22

We are justified by our behavior.

"For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith." --Romans 3:28-30

We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ.

Are you serious? I was clear what my post said: I pointed out a contradiction in the Bible and asked for an explanation that wouldn't invalidate the entire religion. Actually, the Bible has many seeming contradictions that can be explained somehow but we can't expect these contradictions to be discussed on a forum with such poor knowledge of Scripture.

Move this thread back to apologetics: Part of the defense of any religion is cohesive doctrine and my thread was addressing that.

It is clear what your opinion of this forum is. What is not clear is what your debate question is in your OP. If you would like to make one and have me edit it in, I will be more than happy to. Until then, I will open your issue up in the moderators section and determine what they think as well. Should they agree with you, I will move it back and issue my sincerest apologies.
