“Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down...

After all, what are the odds that an almost completely in-tact scroll would be found when everything else is in fragments? Sounds suspicious.

“When Shalmaneser died and his son Sennacherib reigned in his place, the roads were unstable and I could no longer travel to Media.” -Tobit 1:15, (OSB) Why is this historically wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mean, think about the Maccabees. They didn’t politely ask the Greeks to please stop polluting the temple. No, they fought them with swords, spears, and arrows and forced them out. But the “peaceful” Jews refused to fight on the Sabbath, and a thousand of them were slaughtered. Sent from my...

“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.” -Revelation 3:18...

Psalm 34 says it was Abimelech who David pretended madness before: But 1 Samuel 21 says it was Achish: Which one was it? How do we solve this contradiction? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve studied the periodic table, and bread and wine are not one of them. The early church called it the Eucharist. How come I’ve never heard that word in church before? Are they afraid of it because it sounds too Catholic? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m guessing some time in the 1500’s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some Christian groups like Anabaptist, Mennonite, and Amish believe in “non-resistance” where they don’t fight back if someone attacks them, and they won’t volunteer to join the army. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s one thing I find really cool about the holy, canonical book of Judith: In Genesis, it says that the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent. And here we find in the book of Judith, it’s a woman who cuts off the head of Holofernes, the enemy general. And this takes place only...

Did Ezra prophesy anything?

What was it about Esther that caused them to think that it’s apocryphal and an invention of heretics? And do you think they might be right? I really like the book of Esther. But then again, it’s not quoted or referenced by Jesus or the apostles in any of the New Testament books. I mean, in the...

Do you think there’s a reason for that? Maybe because we trust in God’s protection? Maybe because we believe the virus is here to kill the wicked and not the righteous?

In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus said: “Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.” -Matthew 25:27 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Matthew%2025:27&version=KJV In Luke, Jesus said: “Wherefore then...

Most of the Catholics I’ve talked to want to argue the point that Mary remained a virgin her whole life. But the New Testament never specifies this. In fact, it insinuates the opposite. It says Joseph refrained from sleeping with Mary until after Jesus was born, which makes it sound like he...

Have you seen this YouTube video? This video is made by someone who claims to be a Christian, and she’s trying to use the Bible to justify the use of profanity. For example, when she says that when Saul called David a “son of a rebellious and perverse woman”, she says that ought to be...

People keep saying that the book of Tobit is historically inaccurate, because it says Sennacherib became king after his father Shalmaneser. They say, “Shalmaneser was king, and then Sargon was king for 17 years, and then Sennacherib was king.” However, that’s not possible. Because 2 Kings 18...

(I read the New King James version.) In Luke 4, Jesus visited his home town, stood up in the synagogue, opened the Hebrew scroll of Isaiah, and quoted Isaiah 61. This is what he said: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent...

When Genesis 6 says the Sons of God went to the Daughters of men, married any of them they chose, had children by them, and they bore giants…is that talking about angels, or the descendants of the line of Seth? Who are the Sons of God?
