Did the pentecost really happen?

 


Did Jesus really instruct His disciples to wait in Jerusalem to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Did the events described in Acts during the Pentecost really happen?

The lie about the Bible

Image
  There is a lie that has been told for over 2000 years. A lie that is so deeply rooted in how we think that most Christians will never accept the truth. The lie is that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God. It means that people believe every single verse in the Bible is the word (or the words) of God. That every verse can be quoted as 'This is what God says'.  I can list a lot of Bible verses that is a real problem if you believe that - some of those are shocking and others just embarrassing to try and justify as something God would have said. But that is not the reason you should change how you see the Bible.  How we see the Bible makes all the difference The Bible 'contains' the Word of God - if you study it and God's 'Word' is revealed to you through the Holy Spirit. But not every verse in the Bible is the Word of God (I will give you proof of this in the next article). The Word of God is not limited to the Bible. We will be looking at other

The Problem with the Gospel of Matthew

  The Gospel of Matthew has a lot of information about Jesus that is not in any other of the gospels - but there is a problem you need to be aware of. There are a couple of serious mistakes in the Gospel of Matthew that follows a specific pattern.  The Old Testament did prophecy about Jesus, but in an attempt to make Jesus more likeable or believable to Jewish Christians, the Gospel of Matthew goes to far when linking Jesus to Old Testament. There are also things that Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew, that are not in any of the other gospels, and that clearly could not have been something that Jesus have said. We will see a clear pattern of when something was added to what was likely the original message of Jesus.   The Gospel of Matthew was not written by the apostle Matthew. The author is unknown but it is very unlikely that the author was an apostle. An eyewitness to the ministry of Jesus would not have relied so heavily on the Gospel of Mark as a source. It was written between A

Paul's words are not God's words

Image
  Paul has written most of the New Testament. What he has written is very important and we can learn a lot from it. But what Paul has written is not the Word of God.  What Jesus taught and what Paul has said (or written) is not on the same level - not even close. Jesus and His teachings are the Word of God. The teachings of Jesus and Paul are fundamentally different and Paul sometimes contradicts Jesus.  In my previous articles we looked at the lie about the Bible and that not every verse in the Bible are the word of God . We will now be looking at Paul and the books/letters that he wrote in the New Testament.  Paul was not taught by Jesus Paul never met Jesus in person. But wait - didn't Jesus reveal Himself to Paul? Yes, but He also revealed Himself to me and to most other children of God. Most of us can tell a story of how Jesus revealed Himself to us as our saviour - the day we decided to become born again children of God. Maybe your experience was so deep and powerful, it wa
