Let’s See How to Answer Contradictions
But in 3 of the gospels, Jesus eats the Passover meal, which
included the lamb!Doesn’t that mean the lambs were slain the day before He
died?
He ate the Passover meal the day the Lambs were killed
He died the after the death of the Lambs
Whatever scripture says, with that I agree
Did the people with him hear the voice or did they
not?
Comparing the 2 PassagesActs 9:7 Acts 22:9
And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.
And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.
“Hearing a Voice” vs. “did not hear a voice”Ahh!!! Contradiction in my Bible!How can it not be?
Comparing the 2 PassagesActs 9:7 Acts 22:9
He uses the word “phones” in the genitive case
That means they heard without understanding
He uses “phonen” in the accusative case
This means they did not hear with understanding
“Hearing a voice without understanding”“Not hearing a voice with understanding”Hu?
Like ThisWhy didn’t youclean your room?
Why didn’t youclean your room?
I heard your voice but my brain did not understand what you said!
I did not hear your voice with a brain that understood what you said!
Yay! It says the same thing!No contradictions in my Bible!
Do Not be Afraid to Take on Contradictions in the Bible!
Pg. 14 Blank: Because they are
not contradictions at all!!!
Why? There are none in our Bible!
Mr. Prentise is Done Exploring the “contradictions” for Now
But wait, I’ve got one I’ve always wondered about!
Let’s sink our teeth into this one on our own, shall we?
Comparing the 2 PassagesJohn 5:31 John 8:14aIf I testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true,
See why it’s always confused me?
Comparing the 2 Passages – Answer not in the Greek like I thought but in the context!
John 5:27-32 John 8:12-14, 18The whole thing is
speaking of a court case scenario! In the Jewish mindset, people can not be witnesses for themselves
Not a court case scenario! It is okay for someone to tell people where he came from and where they’ll end up if they follow him!
But I came across another question . . .
Comparing the 2 Passages – Answer not in the Greek (like I thought it was) but in the context!
John 8:15 John 8:16You judge
according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
At that time, He was not in the world as a Judge
But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
But He will be and not alone either!
Yay! I’ve always been afraid to tackle those two! It was a lot less complicated than I thought!
So, Now I Know . . .
John 5 – court caseJohn 8 – not court case8:15 – past8:16 - future
Have You Come Across Anything Like That?
Well, don’t let it bother you! Bring it to light! We’ll Tackle it Together!
God wants us to seek understanding of His Word: Prov. 2:1-11

Is the Bible Consistent?Is the Bible Consistent?
Written over a vast period with many different authors,
languages, political situations . . .
Does it all flow?
Many Authors!Many Authors!
At least 40 human authors, some identified but many anonymous
Shepherds, kings, priests, fishermen, farmers, and a medical doctor
Some well educated, others were unschooled
It took a Long Time to It took a Long Time to Write the Bible!Write the Bible!
Another fix, Prentise says only 1,600 years but it’s
Around 4,000 if Adam wrote his own story which is extremely likely!
Now, Let’s Look at a Miracle!
I’ve found that most people are curious as to what the baby looks like as it develops
Ecclesiastes 11:5
“As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the
bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not
know the works of God who makes everything.”
