The purpose of this article: Speaking to men-unborn!

I f you plant a tree, the tree must get water and sunshine, if it get water and no light it will die, and if it gets light and no water it will die, it need them both. When a person is converted to Christianity and if they spend their whole life in prayer and do not get the word, they will not grow, and if they get the word and no prayer they will not grow either they need both. Many Christians are not getting the word, in a sense where it protects them, they get a speech from the pulpit, but the speech does not build an edge about them. For example: There are many bible discrepancy all over the bible and pastors are not dealing with them, explain then to the believers, in fact, many pastor does not even know about them, and those that know is not deep in the scriptures, to explain them.

A Band Of Bible Hating Professors Are Dispatched In All The Collages, Waiting For Christians Children:

“He filled with the Holy Ghost and speaks in other tongues, but he is coming back home gay, after graduating from college, and he is coming back home heating the bible, you can bet your holy water on that.” One woman told me that the strong man that she married to; went off to prison after getting into a street fight, three years later she talked to him on the phone from prison, he was talking to her with a girl's voice. He was now a girl. If the Christian’s parents and Christians, pastors failed to teach bible discrepancy to their children, so they are preparing to deal with bible contradictions, they are not coming home from university a Christian. Christians not getting any teaching from these pastors, and they even dislike educated Christians. Hos_4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:”,

Exodus 12:40-41(NKJV) Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was (((four hundred and ((( thirty years.))) [41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. Genesis 15:13 (NKJV) And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them (( four hundred years; ))

Acts 7:6 (NKJV)And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

If you have no idea why Ex 12:40-41 Say 430 years. While Gen 15:13 Says 400 years, you need to read the whole of this article, your faith could be compromised if you do not read the entire article.

It does not matter if your father is the head of the army, and you are his favorite son, you still have to get your boot camp training, if you want to return home alive after the war. Boot camp training is not only to kill the enemies, but to prevent yourself from being killed. If you go into a charismatic, so call full gospel church, you hear them talking about the success of the Jehovah witness and the Seventh Day Adventist church. They went on to tell their people that they must take the gospel to the street. However, this will never happen; because they give, the people no training and how to do it. No training in communication skill, no training to answer and deal with biblical discrepancy, which will come up whenever they meet the Worley wise person. No training in conflict communication, which will come up whenever you go out to present the gospel. No training in how to dress for that occasion, people go out with a mash up mouth, dirty clothing, dirty fingernails, and no biblical training to present the gospel, and represent the church. Some get into a fight with Muslims, one of my deacon get into an argument and was poked in the eyes. A group of Christians was having a bible study, while they themselves have no training. One unsaved person asks a question concerning Psa_1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. : “If the sinner shall not stand in the judgment, that mean he is free from the judgment?” The Christians could not give him an answer and the bible study mash up.

If The Enemies Can Undermine The Validity Of The Bible, They Can Undermined The Faith Of Those Believe The Bible:

The new wave of attacks that Christians are facing today, are Bible discrepancy. Often in universities, Christian students came under attack from their antagonistic professors. These Christians fall helpless to these waves of attacks. One book of the bible stated that the children of Israel spent four hundred years in Egypt; another book said it was four hundred and thirty years. One book said that the sermon was on the mountain, another book said it was on the plain. The feeding of the multitudes also seems to give different accounts. One book says: Five Loaves, feed five thousand. Another book says: Seven Loaves, feed Seven Thousand? How many horses and chariots did King Salomon have? If a pastor cannot answer these, and give explanations, he she could looses all their young people that went off to university. In order to undermine the faith of the faithful, a base is needed, and these are the bases, what haters of the bible use as their launching pad, in attacks the mind of the faithful. Once they get the young people to mistrust the bible, defeating them is easy from here on. They came home from colleagues, hating Israel, hating Jews, and hating godly parents.

Some became shocked and dumbfounded when they saw two different accounts of Gen 15:13. Which say that the people of Israel will be in Egypt for four hundred years. Acts 7:6 also confirms this. But in Exodus 12:40-41 and Galatians 3:17, It says it was four hundred and thirty years. Which one is correct? If the Christian educator fails in giving a correct answer, he or she could lose the congregation. The Christian educator is supposed to present the new believers with materials to prevent them from falling under the hands of scrupulous atheist attacks. Gone are the days when we can get by on preaching and singing alone. The Bible is loaded down with what looks like contradictions. Many Bible readers cannot see them because they do not read the Bible enough to see it. But, professors in many universities are using these to undermine the faith of Christians in universities all over the world.

The Christian’s Faith Can be Undermined

2 Tim. 2:18 (KJV)Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 1 Tim. 1:19 (KJV)Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck

2 Peter 3:16 (KJV) As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Held to or let go (1 Tim. 1:19) 7. Departed from (1 Tim. 4:1) 8. Denied (1 Tim. 5:8; Rev. 2:13) 9. Cast off (1 Tim. 5:12) 10. Erred from (1 Tim. 6:10,21) 11. Overthrown (2 Tim. 2:18) 12.

Obeyed or disobeyed (Acts 6:7) 19. Built up or destroyed (Jude 1:20) 20. Continued in or discontinued in (Acts 14:22; Col. 1:23; Hebrews 10:39)

Four Hundred Years, Four Hundred and Thirty Years, which is correct?

Israel could have walk out of Egypt, the first day that Moses told Pharooh to let my people go. In God’s mind Israel was free from that moment, but the elders of Israel was not ready for the deliverance. They meet with Moses only after they realized that the king double their daily task and that would worked them to death. When the President of the United States sign the bill and gave the word that, the slaves were to be set free. All the slaves from that moment could walk out on their slave’s masters. Some slaves never know about the bills, and the new apprentice programmers tricked some of those who know. The slave owners wanted the slaves to serve for seven more years for them to learn to live on their own. The book mentions that the slaves were freed by the President signing the bill, but did not obtain their freedom until years after. From God spoken to Moses at the burning bush to go to the king of Egypt, and told him to let Israel go. From Moses stands before the king of Egypt, and delivered God’s commandment to let Israel go. From that moment, Israel was free, in God’s mind. However, because the Elders of Israel was not ready for this deliverance, it takes Israel another thirty years before they finally walked out of Egypt. That is why the two accounts are different.

How Many Times Did Jesus Feed The People?

How many times did our lord feed people? Many people point out that the two accounts are different, because St Mark said it was five loaves; he used to feed the people. While St Matthew said it was seven, but, St Mark shows that Jesus fed people twice (Matthew 15: 34, St Mark 8:19-20 NKJV).

Five Loaves, Five Thousand

Mark 6:40-44 (NKJV)And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. [41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and breaks the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. [42] And they did all eat, and were filled. [43] And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. [44] And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Seven Loaves, Seven Thousand?

Matthew 15:34-38 (NKLV)And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, seven, and a few little fishes. [35] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. [36] And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. [37] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. [38] And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

The explanation of the two texts

Mark 8:15-21 (NKJV)Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod." 16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread." 17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve." 20 "Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven." 21 So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"

On The Mountain or In the Plain

Critics have come down on the Bible stating that it gives two different accounts of the same event. In St Mathew, the sermon was on the mountain, while in St Luke the sermon was on the plain. For example: In St Matthew 5:1-3, and in St Luke 6:17-21, our Lord was no different than some preachers today who preached the same sermons many different places. I must have preached the “King Is Coming” in about sixty different places.

Matt 5:1-3 (NKJV) And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a 7mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

On The Plain

Luke 6:17-21 (NKJV) And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; [18] And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. [19] And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. [20] And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. [21] Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

Bible Contradictions Or Not.

1KI 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

2CH 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

Many people ask: Why are the two accounts differ. Ask the commander in chief of any army. Every day the number of war machines and soldiers differ. Twenty thousand died in one day, the whole thing depends on when the scribes wrote down their account. “In 2 Chron. 9:25 the number of stalls is said to be 4,000. Since some chariots used 3 horses and others only 2, the 4,000 horses would be sufficient.”

Also! The difference between forty thousand and four thousand is the removal of a simple zero. Which could have been removed through translation or printing. It happens all the time, in other books and even in the bible. However, printing mistakes are not easily spotted in the bible, because the eyes of the faithful quickly pass over things like that. These are only a few I copied from my book, there are a hundred more.
