Matthew 9:4 – Mark 2:8 – Luke 5:22
Matthew 8:14-15 – I Corinthians 9:5
No! Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law – his wife’s mother. Also, he traveled and preached with his wife.
Book of Leviticus – Matthew 5:18 – Colossians 2:14 – Hebrews chap. 8-9 – Hebrews 14:16 – John 19:28-30
No! There were 600 commandments in the Law of Moses, not just the famous 10. This old covenant required stoning people to death for adultery, offering blood sacrifices, donating 1/3 of their income to God, etc., etc. Jesus nailed them to the cross. Jesus said not one dot of the Law of Moses would end until all is fulfilled. Jesus fulfilled them all. How? He actually kept the Law of Moses perfectly and never sin. And he fulfilled every prophecy about him in the Old Testament.
When someone is in shock, the worst thing you can give them is a drink; it almost always causes immediate death. Our creator and savior knew this. His body was in shock on the cross. The last thing he did was to ask for a drink, then announce “It is finished” – “It is completed” – ‘It is fulfilled”.
Matthew 4:24 – Matthew 9:32 – Matthew 10:1 – Matthew 12:22 – Matthew 17:18 – Mark 5:1-20 – Luke 4:33-36 – Luke 10:17 – Acts 6:16-18
No! Examine the Bible. God allowed demons to reveal themselves only during the lifetime of Jesus and his apostles. Jesus ordered them out to show his power over Satan.
Notice, he did not do exorcisms and beg them to come out. They were afraid of him. He ordered them. He commanded them. He never begged them.
There is no mention of demon possession in any writings after the time of the apostles including the “Apostolic Fathers” or “Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History.” Demons having access to our world ceased by the end of the New Testament.
Matthew 4:21-22 – Matthew 27:56 – Mark 16:40 – John 19:25
James and John were sons of Zebedee. At the cross later was the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Her name was Salome, and she was “the sister of Mary”. James and John had known Jesus all their life. They were cousins! Mary and Joseph were their aunt and uncle.
Matthew 4:16 – Psalm 23:4
No! For the Christian, light has come to the shadow of death. Zechariah, John the Baptist’s father, said so when he prophesied the soon-coming Messiah – Jesus.
Matthew 4:13 & 18-20 – John 1:44 – Luke 5:10
No! Peter and Andrew lived in Bethsaida. By then, Jesus had moved from Nazareth to Capernaum, a fishing town just a little way up the coast from Bethsaida. James and John (who were related to Jesus) were their fishing partners.
Matthew 3:1-6 – Malachi 4:5-6 – II Kings 1:8
The prophet Malachi predicted Elijah would introduce the Messiah to the world when he finally came. John dressed like Elijah did – in the clothing of prophets, a precedent set by Elijah.
Matthew 2:23 – Numbers 6 –
Jeremiah 23:5 – Isaiah 4:2 – Isaiah 1:1-5 – Jeremiah 33:15-16 – Zechariah 3:8 – Zechariah 6:12-13
No! Nazarites could not drink wine, cut their hair, or go near a dead body. Jesus did at least 2 of those. The name Nazareth comes from the Hebrew word, Nezar meaning BRANCH. Jesus was to be a HOLY BRANCH from the family of King David.
