Answer 2

FAQ: What books are in the Word and what are apocrypha?


"The books of the Word are all those which have the internal sense; but those books which have not the internal sense, are not the Word. The books of the Word, in the Old Testament, are the five Books of Moses, the Book of Joshua, the Book of Judges, the two Books of Samuel, the two Books of Kings, the Psalms of David, the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi: and in the New Testament, the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Apocalypse. The rest have not the internal sense" (Arcana Coelestia n. 10325 or Heavenly Doctrine n. 266).





FAQ: Why different testaments and books in the Word?


"As regards the Word particularly, it has existed in every age, though not the Word we possess at the present day. Another Word existed in the Most Ancient Church before the Flood, and yet another Word in the Ancient Church after the Flood. Then came the Word written through Moses and the Prophets in the Jewish Church, and finally the Word written through the Evangelists in the new Church. The reason why the Word has existed in every age is that by means of the Word there is a communication between heaven and earth, and also that the Word deals with goodness and truth, by which a person is enabled to live in eternal happiness. In the internal sense therefore the Lord alone is the subject, for all goodness and truth are derived from Him" (Arcana Coelestia n. 2895).

Answer 3

The Bible is completely true, 100%.
People are always trying to pick out these ridiculous "contradictions" when they are actually NOT.
You MUST always remember that you are looking at different points of view to the same events. Let's look at the hour of crucifixion...
You state Mark says He was crucified the third hour and
John says the sixth hour. Is this a contradiction? I am sure it's not. I see here that John is assigning a "start" time that is three hours earlier than Mark. The point is, He was crucified.
When you come to a number of people involved with an event, some writers would simply write about only the primary person and not include their companions, other writers will include their companions.
The woman in your first example (74) This was a Greek woman who lived in Canaan. Still a contradiction?

The Bible is the infallible word of God.

Answer 4

I don't see that there's any way to tell. Who knows what's true and what isn't anymore? Presumably there is an original basis of truth for these stories, but somewhere along the line, the details got changed by faulty memories or perhaps even deliberate lies. It certainly doesn't put the Good News in a good light, especially for those who claim that the Bible is the literal word of God. For anyone prone to natural doubt and cautious skepticism, it's more than sufficient to make one question if anything in the Bible is divinely inspired. Even giving the Bible the benefit of the doubt and admitting that there most likely are some stories told which are completely true and accurate, there's no sure way to know what's true and what is not.

In even the least bit of critical light, the whole thing falls apart as being total genuine truth "Oh, but it's a matter of faith", some say. Faith in a system that can't even keep it's own stories straight? Faith in a system that contradicts simple common sense? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that if you're going to spread lies as truth and hope to be taken seriously, you at least need to keep your lies consistant with each other.

Answer 5

Here is a question for you - actually a few questions. First off which version of the Bible are you reading? The Books of the Apostles are individual accounts of what Jesus did while here on earth. You have to understand not all the apostles were with Jesus every living moment. They had lives too. They might have been eating or sleeping or doing something else not recorded by any of them.

Hypothetically - If I were to take the four books of the Apostles as well as Acts and line them up, I would see differences in perspectives of the life of Jesus. Remember the Apostles were men and they were viewing things that God wanted them to see. Those four books are not going to be exact, but they are going to support one another and the great works that happened. They are human testimonies.

I do have to let you understand something the sixth hour was not the cricifixion time it was the third hour and there is no contradiction. In the sixth hour Pilate was handing Jesus over tobe cricified on the third hour in the afternoon. (The witching hour - the hour of satan and death is the third hour in the morning).



Next, the potters field was purchased with the blood of Judas. He hung himself.

Satan did enter Judas and Jesus allowed Him to do the things that would allow Jesus to spill His own blood to reconcile the world to God.

Answer 6

You read but do not listen. God does not cast his pearls before swine. The Bible has many lessons to be learned. They are for everyone, but unfortunately we are not all ready to hear them. Some of us will be confused and concentrate on the wrong thing. The story is what is important. O.K. I did not even look up your examples but just for the sake of argument I'll accept them for now. He was crucified in the third or sixth hour? YOU MISSED THE POINT if you are worried about what hour he was crucified. The point is HE WAS CRUCIFIED! Concentrate on the message not on proving it wrong, it is not wrong. There is only one path to heaven. You will find NO inconsistencies here. That path is the savior Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

74. A woman of Canaan besought Jesus Matt 15:22 It was a Greek woman who besought Him Mark 7:26

Caanan is a place, Greek is a race. There is no contradiction that a Greek woman may be from Caanan.

75. Two blind men besought Jesus Matt 20:30 Only one blind man besought Him Luke 18:35,38

In Matthew the story is told of two blind men, in Luke only one. There is no contradiction here because Luke does not mention the other man. Luke does not say that there is ONLY one blind man, he simply told the story of only one of the men.

Example:
A car runs off the road and plows into a crowd of thirty people, injuring twenty. Two news reports are filed:

"CAR RUNS OFF ROAD INJURING 20 PEOPLE" and "CAR PLOWS INTO CROWD OF 30, MANY ARE INJURED"

Is either story false?

76. Christ was crucified at the third hour Mark 15:25 Christ was not crucified until the sixth hour John 19:14,15

John 19:14 mentions when he was before Pilate, NOT when he was crucified.

Joh 19:12 Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
Joh 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
Joh 19:14 Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!
Joh 19:15 They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
Joh 19:16 Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

77. The two thieves reviled Christ. Matt 27:44/ Mark 15:32 Only one of the thieves reviled Christ Luke 23:39,40

Neither account tells the ENTIRE conversations that were spoken by the two robbers. One account mentions some of the events, another tells other. No contradiction here.

(Did you bother to look ANY of these up or are you just copying and pasting from a book of "contradictions"?)

78. Satan entered into Judas while at supper John 13:27 Satan entered into him before the supper Luke 22:3,4,7

You left out a verse, John 13:2 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

John 13:27 is a continuance of the prior verse

Luk 22:3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luk 22:7 And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.
Joh 13:2 And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
Joh 13:27 And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.

I'm not a Greek linguist and can not elucidate on the exact tenses, verbs and predicates, but the gist of it is that Satan had put upon Judas' heart the idea of betraying Jesus before the supper and that during the supper Satan gave Judas a more explicit and heightened purpose. This is NOT an example of demonic possession, but of demonic oppression and influence.

79. Judas committed suicide by hanging Matt 27:5 Judas did not hang himself, but died another way Acts 1:18

From Barnes commentary:
And falling headlong - The word here rendered “headlong” - πρηνής prēnēs (Latin “pronus,” whence our English word “prone”) - means properly “bent forward, head-foremost”; and the idea is, that his position in hanging himself was such that when the cord broke he fell headlong, or fell forward on his face. This can easily be supposed if he threw himself from a rock or elevated place. He first hanged himself, and then fell and was burst asunder.

80. The potter's field was purchased by Judas Acts 1:18 The potter's field was purchased by the Chief Priests Matt 27:6,7

again from Barnes commentary:
Act 1:18 - Now this man ... - The money which was given for betraying the Lord Jesus was thrown down in the temple, and the field was purchased with it by the Jewish priests. See Mat_27:5, Mat_27:10, and the notes on that place. A man is said often to do a thing when he furnishes means for doing it.

81. There was but one woman who came to the sepulchre
John 20:1 There were two women who came to the sepulchre
Matt 28:1 82. There were three women who came

Joh 20:1 Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.
Mat 28:1 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Mar 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

John 20:1 is focused on Mary
Matt 28:1 also mentions the second Mary
Mark 16:1 mentions Salome as well

No contradictions are present in any of these instances. Just like any other good book ,especially murder mysteries, it is needful to look at ALL the facts before rendering a conclusion.

Peace to you all!

Answer 8

Conceptions of God can vary widely, despite the use of the same term for them all. Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization.

The God of monotheism, pantheism or panentheism, or the supreme deity of henotheistic religions, may be conceived of in various degrees of abstraction:

as a powerful, human-like, supernatural being, or as the deification of an esoteric, mystical or philosophical category;
the Ultimate, the summum bonum, the Absolute Infinite, the Transcendent, or Existence or Being itself;
the ground of being, the monistic substrate, that which we cannot understand, etc.

Answer 9

All that is written was subject to the imbeded beliefs way down deep of the transcriber. Most of it is true, but to think that it was another human who transcribe it w/o preducice is simple minded. It's like the game "telephone"...where one person says something then it is passed on....by the end of the line, the original message is somewhat altered. So, take it for what it is and take it with a grain of salt and take it because there is truth that lies withing.

Answer 10

Getting truth from a bible is like trying to squeeze custard out of a weasel's a$$

Answer 11

You are taking these phrases out of context..You have to read the whole passage and understand the meaning of it all. These things all happened and is translated by humans so there are going to be some misinterpretations by all who do not understand.
