LittleDavid View Profile History	ARE THERE REALLY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE Posted : 2 Nov, 2018 06:30 PM Atheists and even some Christians insist real contradictions exist in the Bible. So, is it true the Bible contradicts itself? Let’s take a look at an alleged contradiction and see if it qualifies. Matthew 27:27-28 says the color of the robe placed on Jesus just prior to his crusifiction was scarlet but Mark 15 says it was purple. Some atheists believe this qualifies as a contradiction. Are they right? This can be a challenging exercise but learn to welcome them. Finding answers can be rewarding. Don’t let atheists discourage you. I remember working a few logic puzzles and I’m sure some of you do as well. Some of the apparent contradictions seemed insurmountable UNTIL we read the answer. When we discovered the answer was quit simple we wondered why it was seemed so difficult. Ok, let’s try—ready— get set—go!! Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	ARE THERE REALLY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE Posted : 2 Nov, 2018 06:49 PM Whoops messed up the paragraph format again—when will I ever learn. Let’s try one more time. Atheists and even some Christians insist real contradictions exist in the Bible. So, does the Bible contradict itself? Let’s take a closer look at an alleged “contradiction” and see if we can figure out if it qualifies as such. Here it is: Matthew 27:27-28 says the color of the robe placed on Jesus just prior to his crusifiction was scarlet but Mark 15:16-17 says it was purple. Some atheists believe this qualifies as a genuine contradiction. Are they right? Take a look and see if you can resolve the “contradiction”. This and other alleged “contradictions” can be a challenging exercises to resolve but learn to welcome them as friends. Finding the correct answers can be fun and rewarding. Don’t let atheists discourage you. I remember working logic puzzles and I’m sure some of you do as well. Some of the apparent contradictions seemed insurmountable UNTIL we read the answer. When we discovered the answer was quit simple we wondered why it was seemed so difficult. Alright, let’s resolve the scarlet/purple robe problem. Ok—ready— get set—go!! Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	ARE THERE REALLY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE Posted : 2 Nov, 2018 07:55 PM Ok, here’s a clue. Please check Luke 23. If you have assembled the evidence thus far, just from the passages cited, you’re a step ahead of some pretty good internet apologists!!! I’m talkin’ seminary nerds!! I was surprised *some* of them think the robe just “looked purple to some observers but looked scarlet to others”. Ridicules!!! I already hear atheists and for good reason. Sheeesh!! Ok, put on your investigators hat and carefully review ALL the evidence! See if you’re smarter than seminary nerd! Another clue. Was there ONLY one rob placed on Jesus? Post Reply

Colours are relevant, not if one or two robes. In the taberncle the curtains where scarlet and purple... Exodus 26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. Jesus washes HIs garments in wine colour..blood, of grapes.i Genesis 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his donkey's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: The chosen ones wash their robes also in he blood of the Lamb, which instead of this bloody worlds colour of red, become white and Holy.. Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. The harlot of this world is clothed in both, purple and scarlet, that is the colour of this bad world, and Jesus Christ took all of our iniquities and all the iniquities of this world onto Himself, that is the reason for the fine linen of scralet and purple, the token of taking it away from off of us, and places white robes onto us instead.. Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: Revelation 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	ARE THERE REALLY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE Posted : 3 Nov, 2018 06:06 AM Once all the biblical evidence is thoroughly weighed, the old contradiction canard goes away. The answer is quite simple. Jesus was obviously robed more than once and in more than just one robe. Herod mocked Jesus, suited him into an “elegant robe” and sent him back to Pilate apparently wearing the robe. The color of the purple robe is easily deduced logically. Pilate’s soldiers also mocked Jesus in like manner but at some point they included a second robe that was scarlet in color. It’s that simple! This particular contradiction is a false charge and amounts to just one more failed desperate attempt by atheists to discredit scripture Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	ARE THERE REALLY CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE Posted : 3 Nov, 2018 06:53 AM I don’t know if anyone else enjoys the challenge of resolving puzzling portions of scripture but here’s another one. Some atheists think they’ve located a real discrepancy in the Bible concerning Jesus’ genealogy. This time they say it’s “really real” and they can hardly contain themselves. But Jesus’ genealogical accounts that are given in Matthew 1 differ from those given in Luke 3. Why is this? Is there a reason? If so, what is the reason? Do we revere God’s word enough to understand it? Perhaps we might give an answer for those desperate enough to ask OR do we just concede to atheists and go on as if indifferent to truth or as if understanding God’s truth doesn’t really matter?
