Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies:Of Temptation And God
GE 22:1-12, DT 8:2 God tempts (tests) Abraham and Moses. JG 2:22 God himself says that he does test (tempt). 1CO 10:13 Paul says that God controls the extent of our temptations. JA 1:13 God tests (tempts) no one. On the surface this does indeed look ...
Geocentricity, Heliocentricity, Or Relativity?
Bible believers are often ridiculed because it is assumed that the Bible teaches geocentricity instead of heliocentricity. It is now interesting to read that relativity may be the true answer. “Einstein’s theory of general relativity adds...
Answering Questions Concerning The Scriptures; Or Were The Biblical Writers Members of “The Flat Earth Society”?
Below one will find an exchange between a commenter on this blog and myself. I stated to him (David) that the Bible has demonstrated itself sufficient to withstand the onslaught of criticisms directed its way.” David replied to me with the followin...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies
GE 19:30-38 While he is drunk, Lot’s two daughters “lie with him,” become pregnant, and give birth to his offspring. 2PE 2:7 Lot was “just” and “righteous.” This is one of the most glorious of truths that is ...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies
GE 17:15-16, 20:11-12, 22:17 Abraham and his half sister, Sarai, are married and receive God’s blessings. LE 20:17, DT 27:20-23 Incest is wrong. What is the true issue here? Is it that there is an inconsistency in the Scriptures, or is it tha...
Alleged Biblical Inconsitencies
GE 17:8 God promises Abraham the land of Canaan as an “everlasting possession.” GE 25:8, AC 7:2-5, HE 11:13 Abraham died with the promise unfulfilled. This is only a problem if one refuses to accept the fact of the resurrection and the mi...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies
The alleged discrepancy that is featured this week is an interesting one indeed. The problem “finding” skeptic presents us with the following: GE 17:7, 10-11 The covenant of circumcision is to be everlasting. GA 6:15 It is of no consequen...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies
GE 17:1, 35:11, 1CH 29:11-12, LK 1:37 God is omnipotent. Nothing is impossible with (or for) God. JG 1:19 Although God was with Judah, together they could not defeat the plainsmen because the latter had iron chariots. The reality is not that God and ...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies
It’s that time of week again- the time when we look at an alleged Biblical inconsistency. Here is the one we shall consider this week. GE 15:9, EX 20:24, 29:10-42, LE 1:1-7:38, NU 28:1-29:40, God details sacrificial offerings. JE 7:21-22 God sa...
Biblical Inconsistencies
GE 10:5, 20, 31 There were many languages before the Tower of Babel. GE 11:1 There was only one language before the Tower of Babel. Why should this be viewed as inconsistent? There is no inconsistency. The verses in Genesis chapter ten speak of the...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies: Seeing God
Below is an example of a supposed Biblical inconsistency. It seems that the one who formulated this “inconsistency” thinks there is no resolution to the apparent conflict of God’s invisibility, His not being seen, and His being se...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies: Genealogical Issue
GE 11:12 Arpachshad [Arphaxad] was the father of Shelah. LK 3:35-36 Cainan was the father of Shelah. Arpachshad was the grandfather of Shelah. While it is evident that at least one person supposes that it is inconsistent to say that Arphaxad was the ...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies: How Many Times Did Noah Get On The Ark?
GE 7:7 Noah and his clan enter the Ark. GE 7:13 They enter the Ark (again?). Let’s look at the context. 1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of...
Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies: Is Anyone Righteous?
GE 7:1 Noah was righteous. JB 1:1,8, JB 2:3 Job was righteous. LK 1:6 Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous. JA 5:16 Some men are righteous, (which makes their prayers effective). 1JN 3:6-9 Christians become righteous (or else they are not really Ch...
