Answer 1

They need to go to Bible school first

Answer 2

Exodus 4:22 and Jeremiah 31:9 - Who was God's firstborn?

According to these passages Israel and Ephraim were God's first born. To understand those passages you have to realize that God is speaking figuratively and using those names to represent the Jewish people whom He chose to be the ones whom He would reveal Himself to mankind through.

"For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 7:6

John 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

Numbers 23:19 and Genesis 6:6-7 - Does God repent or not?

You have to look at the context of those two passages. In Numbers God is talking about how He is faithful to keep his promises. In Genesis it's talking about how God often has conditions that have to be met before his promise will come to pass. God created mankind to live forever but that was only if they didn't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thereby corrupting the race.

2 Samuel 6:23 and 2 Samuel 21:8 - Did Michael have children?

Michal had no children to the day of her death, nor was she the wife of Adriel, but Merab her sister, 1Sa_18:19; wherefore these sons were not whom she "bare", as the word used signifies, but, as we rightly render it, whom she "brought up" or educated, so the Targum, her sister being dead; and so the Jews say, Merab brought them forth, and Michal brought them up, therefore they were called by her name;

Genesis 6:3 and Genesis 11:11 - Life limited to 120 years?

The passage in Genesis 6 doesn't refer to a limit on a person's life span, it refers to the time God was going to give mankind to repent before the flood.

2 Samuel 24:1 and 1 Chronicles 21:1 - Who provoked David?

God moved David by allowing Satan to provoke him.

2 Samuel 8:4 and 1 Chronicles 18:4 - 700 or 7000 horsemen?

In 2 Samuel it's only referring to the chief officers.

Matthew 9:18 and Mark 5:22-23 - Dead or not?

The gospel accounts have different renderings of things that happened. These don't mean that they are untrue, they just show that the writers didn't collaborate with each other. No essential truth contained in the accounts is contradicted by a different rendering in another account.

Matthew 21:1-2 and Mark 11:1-2 - What happened to the a s s?

It doesn't say. What's your question?

Matthew 27:5 and Acts 1:18 - How did Judas die?

Judas hung himself on a tree and when he fell down from there, perhaps from the rope breaking his putrefying body spill his guts out on the ground.

John 3:16 and Psalms 2:7 - Only begotten son?

Psalm 2 is a messianic reference to Jesus.

John 5:31 and John 8:14 - Was Jesus' record true or not?

Jesus was referring to the principle that two or more must bear record for a matter to be established. In John 8 He goes on to explain that his record is true because He is not alone in testifying.

Answer 3

This is a figure of speech. Isreal is God's chosen people and always will be just as the first born acquired the main inheritance in the time, so will Isreal.
It does not say in Genisis that He repented but that it repented Him or made Him sorry or heart broken.
Mical did not bear children herself but raised children.
God only permitted the time of this sin to last 120 years before He sent the great flood
God told David to do the numbering. In I Chron. it is Satan that is provoking David through the enemy and refer back to II Sam. where God tells him to number.
In the man's eyes she was dead. It is interpretation of the scripture that causes confusion but it is the end result that Jesus raised her that matters.
A colt is an ***
He did hang himself and then fell as in Acts so that his bowels burst. He probably hung there for sometime
Isreal is the first son but Jesus is the Only begotten Son(of God)
The flesh witness is not true but that of God is

Answer 4

Satan quoted scripture. Well he quoted it with a twist from the truth and out of context.
If you think you are being original or cleaver, you are not. You are just joining the loosing side of the battle. Satan lost on Calvary. Now his only hope is convincing us of a lie.

If anyone is blind from sinning? Turn back and ask God to heal you and help you to see the Truth. Follow the faith that you received as a gift. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. If there is a trick question that you can't answer, know who is doing the asking. They probably don't deserve an answer. They're just trying to take you out of the Kingdom.

Bishop Fulton Sheen quoted I think it was St. Therese. For saying "Heaven all the way to Heaven and it is Hell all the way to Hell"

Answer 5

My friend I will be happy to take the bible exam and I am positive I will pass it perfectly. I am not called a Christian, I am a "NO". However I am a Bible nut and have read it over 100 times cover to cover.

Now if I do answer all your questions to your satisfaction will you start to read the Bible and not stop until you have read it over 100 times cover to cover as I have?

If you say NO you will not read the bible, then in my opinion I will be just wasting my time to answer your questions here. If you do want a personal answer to compare the Bible with your book or books do email me at [e-mail].

You have a nice day and do smile knowing now you can get the answers you are seeking my friend.

Answer 6

Ha ha . This will really screw them up.They hate anyone questioning. I had top marks over ten years in Religious Knowledge.
The reason I am agnostic today is because of Dogma. From Christians, Muslims, etc.
When I ask questions here, it is believed that i am ignorant.
My friend I have read your book , The Koran also. My opinions of the Bible also apply to your book.
However I will always defend your right to choose and question.
Our difference of belief should never hinder love and respect for our fellow human beings..http://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com
May your God go with you. "In Shallah" In regard to your question was Jesus' record true? I answer as much as Mohammeds!

Answer 7

Hey Muslim try reading the bible....start with John1.....What did Jesus mean when he said before Abraham was I am?..while you were in Gen3 did you not read verse 22? When he said man has become like one of us....who were the us? Jesus was the only begotten son of God...he came from Isreal...Muslim did you ever hear of Prophesy? ...Jesus said I am the word...read again John 1 and explain....The line of David foretold of the coming of Christ the only begotten son of God...Jesus was the word and the word was in the begining and all things were created through him because of our sin we could not live up to the law only God cold pay the penalty of death that all men had..Christ was not man but God in the flesh...test yourself Muslim...without Jesus you have no salvation.

Answer 8

Many christians know the Bible fairly well, and can answer most question. Most importart, they know that faith in Jesus will bring salvation. Faith has roots in the world, and so I encourage all chriastians to read (or listen to) the bible and answer those questions and increasing their understanding of God, of Jesus and of their faith.
