Bible Question (short): 2 bothersome questions |
Question (full): Hi all, I used the word search and only got one hit that didn't help. I have 2 questions that I have had trouble reconciling. Hope someone can help. 1 - This one is just minor really. Jn. 18:39, the custom spoken of can't seem to be verified by the historians of that time (or the ones I've read of), does anyone have any information on this? 2 - This next one to me makes the Bible sound contradictory and I know that it is not! so I'm at fault here, I'm missing something: Jn. 18:31 the Jews are telling Pilate that it is unlawful for them (the Jews) to put any man to death but we all know the story of the woman they were wanting to stone for adultery (this was within their law; and Lev. has numerous items that were punishable by death). So what am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help. |
