Mark 3:29 - Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

feeds@yuku.com (Waterrock) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:42:33 GMT

In Mark 3:29, as in the parallel in Mt. 12:31-32, Jesus speaks about the unforgivable sin: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In addition to the comments already provided about this (see the comments on Mt. 12:31-32), I'd just add here a couple of notes:
(1) Mark explicitly links the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit to the religious leaders who, despite seeing visible evidence of God's power and presence, called Jesus demon-possessed.
(2) There's a textual...

Pharoah Contradiction Solved!

feeds@yuku.com (iz2008) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 06:26:16 GMT

Hi all!

I noticed that the webmaster of this website has said that there is a contradiction in the Quran (not possible) about Pharaoh.

The answer is simply this:

Pharaoh was NOT saved. After 9 or 10 signs (the splitting of the sea being the last sign), Pharoah believed in the God of Moses (pbuh) Allah / Almighty God (without partners or associates) as a last resort.

No-one can become a Muslim (one who submits to the will of Allah / Almighty God without...

ATTN: STEVE WELLS - need a new contradiction entry

feeds@yuku.com (corwin17) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:18:33 GMT

Every time I wish to review, I have to search and search and search.

I propose a new entry into the 'Contractions' section titled "What are the Ten Commandments?" referencing Exodus 20:3-17 for the first set, and Exodus 34:10-26 for the second.

Oh, and for a quick reminder to others, here's the Cliff's notes from Wikipedia

Did John the Baptist know who Jesus was before he baptized him?

feeds@yuku.com (drseinfeld) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:47:15 GMT

Matthew says yes because John puts up a fuss about having to baptize him but John says that John

the Baptist didn't know him until he got in the water and had the spirit land on him.

Mark 2:26 - Abiathar or Ahimelech?

feeds@yuku.com (Waterrock) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:15:57 GMT

Q: In Mark 2:26, Jesus refers to an episode in the Old Testament when David fled to an assembly of priests at Nob. What was the name of the priest to whom David fled? First Samuel 21:1 says, Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest, but in Mark 2:26, it says that this happened In the days of Abiathar the high priest." Which is it?

A: There are several ways to resolve this.

(1) John Chrysostom, who preached in the late 300s, stated the theory that the priest...

Mk. 1:23-24 - Demons Who Confessed Christ

feeds@yuku.com (Waterrock) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 05:49:10 GMT

Q: Mark 1:23-24, a man with an unclean spirit tells Jesus that he knows that Jesus is the Holy One of God. On other occasions, as well -- in Mk. 3:11 and 5:2-7 -- we find reports of unclean spirits saying that Jesus is the Son of God. But in First John 4:2, the author writes, Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God, and in 4:15, Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God, and in 5:1, Whoever believes that...

Mk 1:14-17 - John's Imprisonment: Sequence?

feeds@yuku.com (Waterrock) — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 22:31:22 GMT

Q: Which came first: the calling of Peter and Andrew or the imprisonment of John the Baptist? Mark 1:14-17 describes Jesus at the Sea of Galilee, summoning Peter and Andrew to follow him, at some point after John was put in prison. But in John 1:40-42 and 3:22-24, we see Jesus depicted meeting Andrew, and then Simon, at an earlier time, before John was cast into prison.

A: First, Jesus met Andrew, and then Peter, not very far away from Bethany-beyond-Jordan, as John 1:40-42...

Books of Nephi quoting NT and following OT chapter and verse

feeds@yuku.com (WilliamGO) — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 08:31:14 GMT

The Father blessed me with a copy of the Book of Mormon, I had been looking for a copy to read.
I must say there has been a blessing in my reading of it, but also some confusion.
-Nephi quotes the NT so much so that I find it hard to believe it was written 600 years BC. I see practically verbatim language from Matthew, Acts, Romans and Revelation
-He also uses "lamb of God" a lot and 'gospel' which are NT terms.
-He speaks so much about Jesus, so much more so than any...

Mark 1:12-13 and John 1:35 - Events After Jesus' Baptism

feeds@yuku.com (Waterrock) — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 08:51:24 GMT

The charge of contradiction between Mark 1:12-13 and John 1:35, 1:43, and 2:1 seems to be based on the idea that these two passages were intended to describe the same events. However, the Gospel of John nowhere contains an account of Jesus baptism. It is as if the events related in the Gospel of Mark are assumed to be known by the reader, and John (the author of the Gospel of John) is supplementing the Gospel of Mark. No tight chronological sequence is involved in the passage in John....

Not Correct

The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. Job 1:6

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. -- Job 2:1

Never is satan referred to as a Son of God. He merely stood with the sons of God. "he came also among them", among whom? "the sons of God.

Maybe a bird walked up and "came also among...

The Birth and Dedication of Samuel - FINISHED

Hello all.

The following link is to The Broken Bible, a project I conceived of about 5 years ago. It is more or less an open secret among those who know that the bible isn't what people make it into - that in fact, the bible is broken. The purpose of the project is to publicize the "secret". I'm not referring to anything arcane or metaphysical, but simply the ordinary results of modern biblical scholarship.

This is my first public presentation of the work. I...

What is greater--Faith or Love?

This was actually one I expected to see in the SAB when I looked up the story of Abraham giving his son Isaac as a sacrifice to God in Genesis 22. I went to a Christian school from the age of 7 to my graduation, and I've always balked at the cruelties and contradictions in the Bible (I still believe in God and am a spiritual person, but I'm far away from the Bible or Christianity...). This one in particular has always gotten my blood boiling.

At this moment I can't remember if...

Proverbs 26:4-5

feeds@yuku.com (YHeloThar) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:54:50 GMT

I think that this contradiction should be removed. I admit that the first half of Proverbs 26:4-5 do contradict each other, and all that is highlighted in each verse is the first halves. However, if you read each verse you will see that the ideas in each verse do not contradict. I would be happy if the people that run this sight review Proverbs 26:4-5 and I would like to hear what they think. Personally, I so not think that the verses as a whole contradict each other so I wanted to bring...

1 Samuel 17:50, 51

feeds@yuku.com (pbp720) — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:18:36 GMT

SAB cites a possible contradiction here but there isn't, necessarily. Verse 50 merely says Goliath fell down on his face. It says nothing about him dying. It could merely (and likely does) mean that he was merely stunned or knocked unconscious, after which David closes in and administers the coup de grace.

Does God makes mistakes?

feeds@yuku.com (Reverend Richie) — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:59:03 GMT

The following scripture clearly states that God was sorry for making mankind, was this a mistake from God's perspective?

(Genesis 6:6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

(Genesis 6:7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
