    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    I will never come to believe there is contradiction in the Word of God! Why would anyone try to separate Christ and the written Word? John 1:1-4 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Good Morning David, The prophecy was fulfilled through the birth of Christ (Rev 12). That's when there was war in heaven and Satan and his demonic spirits were cast out of heaven to the earth. That's when the angels of heaven rejoiced because salvation through the Christ child has come...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Why do you doubt the truthfulness of both accounts TOGETHER? Is it because you have determined the Word of God cannot be trusted because you think it filled with contradiction?

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Better still, why not simply quote what the Bible actually says, as I have done! And stop trying to create a feel-good bible that appeals to the flesh! If we aren't secure in the trustworthiness of the Bible, why bother with it at all? Let's just continue on as we have from the beginning...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Yes, as Solomon tells us, "there is nothing new under the sun." This desire to bring doubt upon the Word of God is why Adam and Eve were deceived by the serpent. The serpent that was created to be more cunning and crafty than all, GOD allowed to be in the garden with His new created humans...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Satan can do and does only that which God allows. There are NO CONTRADICTIONS in the Word of God! Only those who are themselves looking for contradiction will try to force God to contradict Himself.

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    There is no contradiction! There is better clarity, understanding when both are read together and one remembers that when necessary, God has always used evil to bring about good. In this case by allowing an evil spirit to test David, David learned valuable lessons we should all take notice of.

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    There is no contradiction! God uses evil spirits to accomplish His purposes! There is NO contradiction, rather we are supplied with more detail, greater clarity for why the LORD allowed Satan to try David. The lesson for David might have been to teach him not to rely on evil spirits, but...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    The Bible loses credibility because people who don't know any better try to convince us the Bible is not trustworthy because God contradicts Himself! This is absolute folly! THRE ARE NO CONTRADICTIONS WITH GOD!

    Rapture ... soon?

    This does not answer the question! If Satan had not been bound by the cross and resurrection, how could there be salvation for any man? Where in Scripture can we find that the binding of Satan will usher in a "far far less evil place"? So many believe as you do, that when Satan is bound...

    What difference does it make? Clearly there is no contradiction!

    Difference in the wording and explanation yes, contradictions between them NO!

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    As I've argued from the start there are no contradictions in the account written of Jarius and his daughter.

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Perhaps that's why you would believe the Bible contradicts itself! It was not merely men to write the Word of God. It was inspired holy men of God who wrote under the inspiration of God in them! It's true translations are the product of men, and especially among the plethora of so-called...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Yes, I do so get my dander up when folks claim the Word of God contains contradiction! So I'll say again if your Bible seems to be contradictive, it could be a lack of understanding on your part, or perhaps failure of the particular translators translating with natural human biases.

    If YOUR Bible contradicts itself, what good is it?

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    What did Jesus say? "He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth." It doesn't make a contradiction depending upon when she APPEARED to have died to them. The FACT remains, she had only appeared to have died, and Christ awakened her to prove that He has power to heal...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    Contradictions in the Bible come from the minds of men! God does NOT contradict Himself!
