    Those contradicting Gospels!

    Correct they were not the daughters of Jesse as the GNB erroneous interpreted, apparently they thought that if the girls were the sisters of David, they had to be the daughters of Jesse, and so they changed the wording of the scriptures to suite their erroneous interpretation. Nor was David a...

    Question About Matthew 2:9

    I started to ask myself why it could not be this Bethlehem and Google found me the answer Micah 5 2 is the prophecy that was supposed to be fulfilled and that Bethlehem is in Judea: Bible Gateway passage: Micah 5:2 - New International Version Which in a way is a shame since it would not be...

    Question About Matthew 2:9

    Interesting fact is that there were 2 Bethlehems when Jesus was born. So which one was it? The most famous Bethlehem is located in the hill country (approximately 2,500 feet above sea level) of Judah. Situated on the main highway to Egypt (which came in very useful just after the birth of...

    The Red Sea is parting again, but this time Moses doesn’t have a hand in it.

    You do realise that there is a difference between reading something and comprehending that which you have read, don't you? For instance, 1 Chronicles 2: 12; it is said that Jesse had seven sons, whereas in 1 Samuel 17: 12; it is said that Jesse had 8 sons, is one wrong and the other right? Are...

    When did Jesus die?

    The only flaws in the bible are erroneous interpretations of the original by scholars, who make erroneous assumptions of what has been recorded. For instance, 1 Chronicles 2:16; it is said that King David had two sisters, Zeruiah and Abigail, The authors of the Good News Bible, Catholic Study...

    Who is the eighth son of Jesse?

    Rosen…….If you want to keep getting things wrong, feel free. The Anointed……. Sorry kiddo, but it’s you whose mind is muddled Rosen…….Yishai is listed as having 8 sons. The Anointed…….Correct! Jesse is listed as having 8 sons. The fact that Jesse had 8 sons is mentioned in 1 Samuel 17: 12...

    Who is the eighth son of Jesse?

    The Anointed wrote...…..1 Chronicles 2: 13-15. There is no mention whatsoever of an eighth son and if the Malbim says there was, then he is a liar. Rosens responds.........So you claim. You happen to be wrong. The text references 8 sons and lists an eighth son. Unless you want to accept one of...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    I have found that seeming 'conflicts' like these are often simply the result of not maintaining context. The Bible we have today is a collection of several books. These records have been written in several languages, gathered from all over, and translated into several languages, including...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    Further more, Jesse being mention of in 1 Samuel 17:12, didn't have 8 sons, that was Eph - rath - it, of Beth - le - hem - ju- dah, that had 8 sons, not Jesse. Before you go about saying how the bible has contradictions, maybe you should try and put things in their proper order of events...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    An English translation of FIRST CHRONICLES 21:5 And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword; and Judah was four hundred three-score and ten thousand men that drew sword. 21:6 But...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    One who looks for issues in the Bible can certainly find, many, but the many they find, may only be 1% of all they find. Likewise, the seeming contradictions they find, may not be contradictions at all, but misunderstandings in most cases - about 99.6%. However, to be fair, let's say they are...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    Most translations, if not all, have translation errors, because they don't use the original Greek New Testament which can be found in the Greek Church and the Hebrew Bible that can be found in the Hebrew Synagogue. If you want the details. Then go learn Greek and Hebrew.

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    Greetings..... Ill address the one on judas. I dont see it as a contradiction. In fact, even if i was not a christian, id still not see it as a contradiction. Its supplementational information. It builds on itself. The one in mathew generalizes that he hanged himself, while the one in acts...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    So far from my study of Genesis I find that the contradictions can be allowed as stories that have overlapping concerns (like the "two creations stories") but could be so easily corrected to not contradict that their contradiction is minor. This does make a good case for the Bible NOT being the...

    Dealing With Biblical Contradictions

    I just finished watching a video critiquing another video by Kyle Butts who argues that the Bible has no contradictions. At the end of the video I was watching its host observed that Butt's audience is fine with his contention because Butts, having settled the issue in their minds "don't want...

    No Evidence for 1st Century Nazareth

    I'm merely chasing after you. The information I have is that, at the time of Jesus's birth, Bethlehem was a town, and not a village. Nazareth is never referred to as the 'village' or 'hamlet' of Nazareth, as you have described it to be. If polis is being used to mean 'village' or...

    The children of Jesse

    Could be. We find many instances in the OT where things don't line up quite right, or the same occurrances told with different details.

    The children of Jesse

    The question was, how many children did Jesse sire. We know from 1 Samuel 17: 12, that Jesse had eight sons. And from 1 Samuel 16, where Jesse presented his eight sons to Samuel in order of their ages, we know that David was the youngest of those sons, and yet there are only seven sons...
