In Matthew 26:40-46; how many hours did Jesus pray in the Garden of Gethsemane? only one or three? I had a hard time imagining why it would be important to know how long he prayed in the garden. Normally when such a question is asked, there is some underlying issue behind the question, such as […]

I was hoping you could give me a good answer why in Leviticus 11:6 the Lord told Moses that the rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you. Technically a rabbit does not chew the cud like a cow because it only has one stomach. […]

How do you explain that Jesus called people “fools”? Wouldn?t he be subject to hell fire according to his own words? What does this mean to us? Who can we call fools? Who not? (The explanation, that Jesus was filled with Gods Spirit and knew what?s necessary doesn?t seam to be sufficient.) Matthew 5:22 But […]

This is a bit confusing. In Luke Jesus asks the Father to forgive those that murdered him, in Acts 2:23 Peter accuses these same people of murder, then in Acts 2:38 Peter tells them to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins. Luke 23:34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do […]

How do you reconcile the accounts in Matthew and Luke regarding the events immediately following the birth of Jesus? In Matthew, Jesus is brought to Egypt from Bethlehem and then later to Nazareth after the death of Herod. In Luke, from Bethlehem he is brought to Jerusalem and then immediately to Nazareth.

Have you noticed there are two accounts in the bible of Jesus cursing the fig tree and when Jesus drove the money changers out? In one account, Jesus drove the money changers out and then cursed the fig tree the next day. (Matthew 21:10-22). And in the other account he cursed the fig tree first […]

Genesis 11:1 says that the world at that time “had one language and a common speech.” However, Genesis 10:5 seems to imply that there was more than one language at that same time. Please explain this. I can think of a couple of possible explanations, but the most obvious one is probably correct. Although Genesis […]

In Luke 2:49 Jesus refers to Temple of Jerusalem as his father’s house. Also, King Solomon built this Temple for God according to His instruction. However, in Acts 17:24 it is taught that God does not live in any human built building. I am having some difficulty to explain this issue can you please help […]

I have really been struggling a lot over this one… I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and thus does not contain obvious error and contradictions that would make it untrustworthy. Yet upon reading the gospel accounts of Peter’s denial of Jesus, there seems to be a glaring contradiction here. In […]

I know that the soul who sins is the one who will die. (Ezekiel18). Was that from the beginning of the creation? Or it has begun in Ezekiel 18 , because I can see that Abraham was a righteous man and was blessed, so Isaac & Sarah were also blessed because of Abraham . On […]

How can I explain verses like Matthew 16:28 where it seems like Jesus was saying to some that they wouldn’t die before seeing the Son of man coming in His Kingdom ? Jesus did not came back in the first century. Was he saying that he would come back in the first century, or did […]
