MT 1:20-23, LK 1:26-33 An angel announces to Joseph and/or Mary that the child (Jesus) will be “great,” the “son of the Most High,” etc., and …. MT 3:13-17, MK 1:9-11 The baptism of Jesus is accompanied by the most extraordinary happenings, yet …. MK 3:21 Jesus’ own relatives (or friends) attempt to constrain...
MT 1:18-21 The Annunciation occurred after Mary had conceived Jesus. LK 1:26-31 It occurred before conception. MT 1:20 The angel spoke to Joseph. LK 1:28 The angel spoke to Mary. Wow! How simplistic can one be? It only takes a cursory reading of the text to see that there are two different events recorded. ...
MT 1:17 There were twenty-eight generations from David to Jesus. LK 3:23-38 There were forty-three. Is this truly an issue of an inconsistency or discrepancy?

I stated to him (David) that the Bible has demonstrated itself sufficient to withstand the onslaught of criticisms directed its way.” David replied to me with the following (my remarks are in blue): “It has indeed demonstrated itself sufficient to...
GE 19:30-38 While he is drunk, Lot’s two daughters “lie with him,” become pregnant, and give birth to his offspring. 2PE 2:7 Lot was “just” and “righteous.” This is one of the most glorious of truths that is set before us. It is certainly to be understood that the skeptic does not understand such...
GE 18:20-21 God decides to “go down” to see what is going on. PR 15:3, JE 16:17, 23:24-25, HE 4:13 God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from his view. Answer: Anthropopathy –noun ascription of human passions or feelings to a being or beings not human, esp. to a deity. Also, an⋅thro⋅pop⋅a⋅thism....
