I explain why some basic fundamental tennants in Christianity are false, and why atheists/non-believers are wise to reject them. They shouldn't, however, totally disregard Christianity, scripture, or God because of a few obvious falts and easily discerned lies.

The following are a few passages from The Clementine Homilies that refute the belief that there are no contradictions or false teachings found in scripture.

From the Clementine Homilies - HOMILY 3 - Chapter II - Simon The Magician's Plan 
Peter speaking: "Simon today is, as he arranged, prepared to come before all, and SHOW FROM THE SCRIPTURES that He who made the heaven and the earth, and all things in them, is NOT the Supreme God, but that there is another, unknown and supreme, as being in an unspeakable manner God of gods; and that He sent two gods, one of whom is he who made the world, and the other he who gave the law. And these things he contrives to say, that he may dissipate the right faith of those who would worship the one and only God who made heaven and earth.

Chapter III - His Object
... "And for the sake of this attempt Simon comes to do battle with us, armed with the FALSE CHAPTERS OF THE SCRIPTURES. And what is more dreadful, he is not afraid to dogmatize thus against the true God from the prophets whom he does not in fact believe.

Chapter IV. Snares Laid for the Gentiles.
1) Peter speaking: ... and also the mystery of the books which are able to deceive, he will not prevail; but with those from amongst the Gentiles who have the polytheistic fancy bred in them, and WHO KNOW NOT THE FALSEHOODS OF SCRIPTURES...
since even the falsehoods of Scripture are with good reason presented for a test.

Chapter V. Use of Errors
Then I Clement, hearing this, said: How say you, my lord, that even the falsehoods of the Scriptures are set forth happily for the proof of men? And he (Peter) answered: The falsehoods of the Scriptures have been permitted to be written for a certain righteous reason, at the demand of evil.

Chapter IX. Uncertainty of the Scriptures
Worthy, therefore, of rejection is everyone who is willing so much as to hear anything against the monarchy of God; but if any one dares to hear anything against God, as trusting in the Scriptures, let him first of all consider with me that if any one, as he pleases, form a dogma agreeable to himself, and then carefully search the Scriptures, he will be able to produce many testimonies from them in favour of the dogma that he has formed. How, then, can confidence be placed in them against God, when what every man wishes is found in them?

HOMILY 4 - Chapter XII - False doctrine of Genesis (fate)
And others have introduced fate, which is called genesis, contrary to which no one can suffer or do anything. This, therefore, also is like to the first. For any one who thinks that no one has anything to do or suffer contrary to genesis easily falls into sin; and having sinned, he does not repent of his impiety, holding it as his apology that he was borne on by genesis to do these things. And as he cannot rectify genesis, he has no reason to be ashamed of the sins he commits.

HOMILY 8 - Chapter IV: Many Called
Then Peter, wondering at the eagerness of the multitudes, answered, You see, brethren, how the words of our Lord are manifestly fulfilled. For I remember His saying, 'Many shall come from the east and from the west, the north and the south, and shall recline on the bosoms of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.' 'But many,' said He also, 'are called, but few chosen.' The coming, therefore, of these called ones is fulfilled. But inasmuch as it is not of themselves, but of God who has called them and caused them to come, on this account alone they have no reward, since it is not of themselves but of Him who has wrought in them. But if, after being called, they do things that are excellent, for this is of themselves, then for this they shall have a reward.
