1 | final round of "contradictions" | Bible general Archive 2 | Jesusman | 102915 | ||
Hello, I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist this one. About King Zedekiah. Did you read Jeremiah 34:2-4 along with verse 5? And did you read how he died? King Zedekiah didn't die by the Sword. He died in prison. 34:2-4 says that King Zedekiah would be taken to Babylon to see the king, and verse 5 says that he wouldn't die by the sword. King Neb. sieged Jerusalem, took Zedekiah prisoner, and put him in prison. There, Zedekiah died, possibly of old age. Thus fulfilling Jeremiah's prophecy. About Egypt and Jeremiah Jeremiah is talking to Judah, the southern kingdom. Judah made a peace treaty with Egypt in a vain attempt that Egypt would protect them from Babylon. However, Babylon marched all the way to Egypt and conquered them as well. Thus fulfilling Jeremiah's Prophecy stated in Jeremiah 42: 13-22 About Babylon Are there people living in Babylon, the city where Nabuchdnezzar had his capital? Nope! It's nothing more than ruins. In fact, there's no longer a nation called Babylon. Babylon died at tha Hands of the Medo-persian empire. About Bethlehem Actually, The ancient name for Bethlehem was Ephrath. Genesis 35:19 So, Micah is referring to the city, and the coming Messiah. About the immortal generation in Matthew 23. Actually, this passage is referring to the Destruction of the Temple in 70 ad. Such a destruction would be the end of the world to a devout jew. About Matthew 16. Jesus says that they will not "taste death". Now, Is Jesus referring to physical death, which he once referred to as sleep, or spiritual death? I would say that Jesus is referring to spiritual death. About Hebrews First off, Are you sure that the author is Paul? Because the name of the author is never given, and no one knows for sure who wrote Hebrews. Second, They didn't receive the promise in their lifetime. That doesn't mean that it was never fulfilled. About mystakenly believing that they were in the end times. Peter never says in the verses you state that he believed that he was living in the last times. He does tell us what to expect when the Last times come about. As for verse 4:7, being "at hand" means that it could some at anytime. He's telling the audience to be alert because Jesus could return at anytime. John's epistle is about being alert and staying aware of the dangers around you. Like Peter, John is warning his readers to stay alert. In closing, I must insist that if you desire to put more apparent contradictions up, that you read the whole context, not just what you desire to read. Many of these contradictions were easily explained by looking at the surrounding verses. Jesusman |

Jesusman - Excellent post! Good to see your trio of posts after a long dry spell. It invariably turns out that these alleged contradictions can be traced to faulty interpretation (eisegesis) of Scripture, not to Scripture itself. 2 Timothy 2:15 comes to mind. If skeptics spent half as much time in earnestly searching Scripture for God's truth as they do in trying to find loopholes in it to support their unbelief, they probably wouldn't remain skeptics for very long. --Hank | ||||||
