Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

“You hypocrites! You shut the door to the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces.  You will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to get in.”

Matthew 23 Many

Fact of the Day

Look closely at the word – HYPO-CRIT or HYPO-CRITICAL  Hyper means overactive.  Hypo means under active.  A hypo-crit is someone who has no opinion about anything.  Nothing is truth. Nothing is right or wrong.  Nothing matters.  Just do what feels good.  It is also a word that is sometimes translated GODLESS (no God).

Oops of the Day

Only ordained ministers can baptize someone.

Acts 2:16 & 41

Fact of the Day

No!  Three thousands were baptized on the Day of Pentecost.  The 12 apostles would have had to baptize 250 people each.  At 20/hr (1 every 3 minutes), each would have had to baptize people without resting for 12.5 hours.  If they began at noon, they would have had to be baptizing people to or past midnight.  Surely some of those they baptized helped baptize others.  The 3000 were baptized “that day”. Further, the future apostle, Paul, was baptized only by “a certain disciple/follower”.

Oops of the Day

Jesus broke the sabbath, one of the Ten Commandmenrs of Moses.

Matthew 12:1-14  –  I Samuel 21:1-6  –  Hebrews 4:1-9

Fact of the Day

No!  The Jewish hierarchy following Jesus around to find an excuse to kill him found their excuse when Jesus broke the sabbath, one of the Ten Commandments traced back to Moses.

Other scriptures say people have to work hard to support their families and others.  BUT, they must stop and rest one day a week and make it “holy to the Lord’.  “Holy” means set apart (from the other days of the week when we are working for ourselves) to honor God. 

1-If God had not made it a requirement to stop one day a week, many people would have worked hard year around – concentrating on themselves and not their creator and possibly ruining their health.

2-BUT, occasionally, a life and-death emergency arose that needed to be taken care of. To neglect that situation would have dishonored God. Jesus also gave the example of a child or oxen falling into a well on the sabbath.

  • David had been starving
  • A child fallen into a well could not long survive
  • An ox fallen into a well could not long survive
  • Jesus and his apostles were starving
  • Dropsy – extreme edema – can be fatal
  • Shriveled hands cause by Multiple Sclerosis or Stroke can be fatal.

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

After Peter denied even knowing Jesus during his trial, and after Jesus’ death and resurrection, he interrogated Peter about his love and loyalty to make sure Peter was never going to waver again.

John 21;15-17

Fact of the Day

No!  First, note that Jesus did not order him to repent.  And second, Jesus knew and knows everything, so did not have to find out anything.  He was building Peter up a little at a time. 

The 1st time Peter said he loved Jesus, Jesus replied, “Okay, you can take care of the young-lamb Christians.”

The 2nd time, Jesus replied, “Good.  Then you can keep my sheep rounded up and together.” 

The 3rd time, Jesus replied, “Good.  Now you can take care of all my sheep as a good shepherd.”
