Back to Daniel's prophecy of the seventy weeks:That prophecy would enable first-century Jews to know that the appearance of the promised Messiah was approaching. The prophecy stated: “From the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks.” (Daniel 9:24, 25)…[Read more]

Quote You've missed some vital points in this. According to Matthew the angel rolled the stone away and sat on it. Mary M. was with the other Mary in Matthew when this happened. So how could she see and hear the angel in Matthew but totally miss this in John?Contradiction 1.I have a question. Does the following in any way contradict itself, or…[Read more]

Quote It is worth noting that this prohibition against erasing or defacing Names of God applies only to Names that are written in some kind of permanent form, and recent rabbinical decisions have held that writing on a computer is not a permanent form, thus it is not a violation to type God's Name into a computer and then backspace over it or cut…[Read more]

Quote Is it all a fantasy? Only G-d knows at this point. Perhaps there was a Jesus perhaps not. Again no historical record of a man who rose from the dead, fed thousands at a time with a few loaves and fish, healed many, turned the sky dark for 3 hours, caused the dead to raise and appear to many when he died, and then ascended into heaven. Surely…[Read more]

Quote The reason is that the Torah forbids us from pronouncing the four-letter Name of HaShem in other than ritual contexts, Please show where the Torah “forbids us from pronouncing” the name that God's people pronounced for thousands of years.If God put his name in there 7000 times, does this not suggest he wants us to use it, even as he commands…[Read more]

This is often cluttered. You attempt to show many contradictions in this account. Please just show me one. Just one. Quote the two scriptures. explain why they are contradictions. Could you please do this. Just one. It shouldn't be a problem, if there are so many.

Quote This is where Matthew’s account comes into play. According to that account the women including Mary M. saw an angel on the outside of the tomb sitting on the rolled away stone. This angel told that that Jesus had risen and that he was going to meet the disciples. If that is true how can Mary M. say that Jesus was taken away and that she d…[Read more]

Quote Of the Christian translations, the following translate the phrase 'a son of man': NASB, Darby, ERV, WEB, YLT, CEV, ESV, RSV, NIV, and HNV.

Here, let me give you an example of an actual true contradiction: It was a tradition of the Jews to avoid using God's name altogether. They stopped all mention of him. No longer using God's Divine Name, they no longer used it in their prayers, even making it a sin to say his name out loud. They considered it “blasphemy” to utter the…[Read more]

A similar supposed contradiction to Towshab's two angels-one angel at the tomb is the number of times the #### crowed.Since Matthew, Luke, and John mention only one cockcrowing, while Mark quotes Jesus as saying:“Truly I say to you, You today, yes, this night, before a #### crows twice, even you will disown me three times.” —Mr 14:30, 72.He repea…[Read more]

Belief in Messiah's arrival was nurtured among the Jews for centuries. Yet, when Jesus of Nazareth came, most Jews ultimately rejected him as Messiah. To the Jewish mind, Jesus did not live up to expectations.Among Jews the term “Messiah” came to stand for a descendant of King David who would usher in a glorious rule. (2 Samuel 7:12, 13) By…[Read more]

Have you ever read two biographies about the same famous person? If so, have you noticed that these biographies will differ without being necessarily contradictory? Often, it is because of the writer’s personal impressions or the sources he has used. It also depends on what the author feels is important to relate in his presentation, the angle h…[Read more]
