Contradiction About When Jesus Went To Paradise?

Contradiction About When Jesus Went To Paradise?

File:Peter Paul Rubens - Christ on the Cross between the Two Thieves - WGA20235.jpg

One of the alleged “contradictions” in the Bible is that there is a contradiction about when Jesus went to “Paradise”. Here is the claimed contradiction:

Did Jesus ascend to Paradise the same day of the crucifixion?
(a) Yes. He said to the thief who defended him, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43)
(b) No. He said to Mary Magdelene two days later, “I have not yet ascended to the Father” (John 20:17)

The seeming problem here comes from the punctuation of Luke 23:43 in most translations, which makes it appear as though Jesus went to “paradise” the day he died. “He [Jesus] said to him, ‘Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). read more

Skeptics and critics claim the Bible is full of contradictions, and, therefore, can’t be trusted. One of these is that the gospels contradict about the disciples carrying a staff.

The Staff “Contradiction” Examined 

Here is the “contradiction”:

Did Jesus allow his disciples to carry a staff on their journey?
(a) Yes (Mark 6: 8)
(b) No (Matthew 10:9; Luke 9:3)

A cursory reading of the parallel accounts in the gospels makes it appear that there is a contradiction between the gospels of Mark and Luke about whether Jesus wanted his disciples to carry a staff on their journey. read more

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

When Was the Book Of Micah Written?

Comments 0 Comment

Some doubt that the Hebrew prophet Micah wrote either all or parts of the Bible book bearing his name, and have, instead, asserted that the book was written and edited sometime later, by others under his name. Why does it matter when the book of Micah was written? What difference does it make?

“I have been full of power by the Spirit of YHWH” (Micah 3:8 LSV). Micah was inspired by God through his holy Spirit to predict many things, but there are five very important predictions we’ll focus on in this article in order to prove this Bible book’s authenticity, that is, that it was written in the 700’s BCE: read more

When Were Satan and His Angels Thrown Out of Heaven?

When Were Satan and His Angels Thrown Out of Heaven?

Comments 3 comments

Some say that Satan and his angels were ousted from heaven before humans were created, some say it was just before, or just after, Adam and Eve sinned, some say this event is yet future. The Jehovah’s Witnesses even claim it was in a specific year — 1914. What does the Bible really say? When were Satan and his angels thrown, or cast, out of heaven?

Prior to Jesus’ death, resurrection and exaltation, Satan & his angels still had access to heaven, as can be seen from Job 1:6; 2:1, and possibly Luke 22:31.  read more

Does the Bible Contradict Science About Mustard Seed?

Does the Bible Contradict Science About Mustard Seed?

Mustard seeds against a scale of 20 millimetres (3⁄4 inch)

Skeptics, critics and evolutionists say the Bible contradicts science in Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed, where he says  “a mustard seed . . . is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth” (Mark 4:31; Matthew 13:31,32). Does the Bible contradict science about the mustard seed? Let’s examine Jesus parable in Mark 4:31,32 in detail, using the Bible Hub Study Bible, which is quoted in italics. The scriptures are in bold type.

“It is like a mustard seed
The mustard seed is often used in biblical texts to symbolize small beginnings that lead to significant outcomes. In the context of Jesus’ parables, it represents the Kingdom of God starting from humble origins and growing into something vast and influential. The mustard plant, common in the region of Palestine, was known for its rapid growth and large size compared to its tiny seed. This imagery would have been familiar to Jesus’ audience, who understood agriculture and the potential of seeds. read more

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

Comments 13 comments

The Bible appears to contradict science by classifying ‘bats’ as “birds” in Leviticus 11:13-19. From science, we know that bats are actually mammals. Therefore, we do well to ask,  “Does the Bible call bats birds and contradict science?” Let’s analyze the scriptures and science and see.

“These shall you detest among the birds, they shall not be eaten: they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture . . . the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat” (Leviticus 11:13,19 ESV) read more

From top-left: Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English transcriptions of the name Jesus

Skeptics and critics have alleged that Jesus’ words in the gospel of John contradict about whether or not Jesus witnessed for himself. Did Jesus witness for himself?

ALLEGED CONTRADICTION:

“According to the Gospel of John, what did Jesus say about bearing his own witness?
(a) “If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true” (John 5:31)
(b) “Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true” (John 8:14)”

What Jesus was referring to in John 5:31? Was he saying that if he witnessed for himself his testimony wasn’t true? read more

Critics Wrong & the Bible Right About the Hittites

Map of the Hittite Empire at its greatest extent, with Hittite rule c. 1300 BC

There are over 50 mentions in the Bible of a people called Hittites. However, no such people are mentioned in the histories of Greece, Egypt or any other ancient national group. By the 19th century, skeptical scholars had relegated these Biblical accounts to the realm of myth. With no archaeological evidence and no mention in known ancient sources, the Hittites seemed to be just another Biblical “myth.” However, archaeological discoveries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries produced evidence that the critics were wrong and the Bible right about the Hittites. read more

How Many Killed At Acacia Grove – 23,000 or 24,000?

Tall el-Hammam that is identified by most scholars as Abel-Shittim.

Skeptics and Bible critics have claimed the Bible contradicts itself about how many fornicating Israelites were killed by the plague at Acacia Grove, ( Shittim in Hebrew). One account says 24,000 and another account says 23,000, making the Bible unreliable, they claim. How many were killed at Acacia Grove?

ALLEGED CONTRADICTION:

“When the Israelites dwelt in Shittim they committed adultery with the daughters of Moab. God struck
them with a plague. How many people died in that plague?
(a) Twenty-four thousand (Numbers 25:1 and 9)
(b) Twenty-three thousand (I Corinthians 10:8)” read more

Bible Proves True About Human Age Limit

    Can Humans Live Longer Than 120 Years?

While there have at times been unconfirmed reports of people living longer, the facts confirm that human lifespan is limited to no more than about 120 years. About 50 years ago, for example, there was a man living in Florida, USA, named Charlie Smith, who claimed to be 130 years old. However, before the flood of Noah’s day, about 4400-5500 years ago, God announced his decision that eventually the human age limit would be about 120 years. 

“Yahweh said, ‘My spirit cannot be indefinitely responsible for human beings who are only flesh; let the time allowed for each be a hundred and twenty years.'”—Genesis 6:3 NJB read more
