Alms delivers from death? Isn’t that something found in the book of Tobit and nowhere else in the Bible?

Exodus chapter 30 says this: “The half-shekel shall be an offering to the Lord. Everyone included among those who are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord. The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an...

Here it is in the King James version of the Bible: “For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons. Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins: And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up...

I mean, Daniel prophesies about it, John mentions the holiday from it, and Hebrews alludes to it. Was there a particular point in time when God decided that it doesn’t matter anymore, and ought to be omitted out of the Bible?

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts? Moreover, they are nothing but thieves and robbers who daily eat no morsel and wear no thread of clothing which they have not stolen and pilfered from us by means of their...

Yesterday, I went to the Illinois state fair. The whole time I was wearing the MAGA hat (the red hat that says Make America Great Again). I thought that for sure somebody was going to insult me, ridicule me, cuss me out, or maybe even threaten to beat me up. Much to my surprise, none of that...

“And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.” -Philippians 4:3 Clement was directly discipled by Paul himself, and mentioned him by name in Philippians 4:3...

I remember when I was in junior high or high school, when I was roller blading on a recreational trail, and I was listening to a cassette tape on my Sony Walkman. The album was called “Stepping Up To the Microphone.” It was by the Newsboys. One of the famous songs on that album, which they...

Why or why not?

Is there something special in 3 Maccabees?

You say you are rich. You think you have become wealthy and don’t need anything. But you don’t know that you are really miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I advise you to buy gold from me—gold made pure in fire. Then you will be rich. I tell you this: Buy clothes that are white. Then...

I was confused, because people said the Apocryphal book of Tobit endorses sorcery, because Tobias used animal organs for driving out a demon. But Acts 13 says that a sorcerer is a son of the Devil. I can’t imagine a son of the Devil casting out a demon. Didn’t Jesus say somewhere that Satan...

Like, was it there from day 1?

Genesis 1 says plants were made before man. But Genesis 2 says that when man was made, plants didn’t exist yet. Uh oh! We have a contradiction here! So, should we rip chapter 1 out of our Bibles, or chapter 2? Or should we just remove Genesis entirely from our Bibles? Certainly we shouldn’t...
