      @@onlyenzoYT Prove it buddy! The bible is corrupted. Jesus peace be upon him did not die. Here is some contradictions in the bible to prove that it's not God's word.
      Creation Accounts:
      Genesis 1: Creation occurs over six days, with humans created last.
      Genesis 2: Man is created before animals and plants.
      The Number of Animals on the Ark:
      Genesis 6:19-20: Noah is instructed to bring two of every kind of animal.
      Genesis 7:2-3: Noah is told to take seven pairs of clean animals and two of each unclean animal.
      God's Regret:
      1 Samuel 15:29: "He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind."
      Genesis 6:6: "The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth."
      The Ten Commandments:
      Exodus 20:1-17: The commonly known Ten Commandments.
      Exodus 34:14-28: Another set of commandments also referred to as the Ten Commandments.
      Judas' Death:
      Matthew 27:5: Judas hangs himself.
      Acts 1:18: Judas falls headlong, his body bursts open.
      God's View on Murder:
      Exodus 20:13: "You shall not murder."
      Joshua 6:21: God commands the Israelites to destroy all living beings in Jericho.
      Jesus' Genealogy:
      Matthew 1:16: Joseph's father is Jacob.
      Luke 3:23: Joseph's father is Heli.
      The Time of the Crucifixion:
      Mark 15:25: Jesus is crucified at the third hour (9 AM).
      John 19:14-16: Jesus is still with Pilate at the sixth hour (noon).
      The Number of Demon-Possessed Men:
      Matthew 8:28: Two demon-possessed men are met by Jesus.
      Mark 5:2 and Luke 8:27: Only one demon-possessed man is mentioned.
      Paul's Conversion:
      Acts 9:7: Paul's companions hear a voice but see no one.
      Acts 22:9: Paul's companions see a light but do not hear the voice.
      There are more than 100 clear cut contradictions in the bible. It definitely isn't the truth. Stop daydreaming bro. Islam is the answer. Read the Quran, Allah's words without any contradiction.

    That's not true. The real reason is carographers were originally from Europe and they didn't want to portray their continent as small as it really is compared to the other continents, especially Africa. They wanted to be seen as powerful and important and that's why they altered Europe's map size.
