Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises
Oops of the Day
No prophet ever came from Galilee.
John 7:48-52 – 2 Kings 14:25 – John 1:43-51
Fact of the Day
No! Consider the source. Who was saying this? Look carefully. Also, notice what they call the worshipers: A cursed mob that doesn’t even know the Law of Moses. If they didn’t know, why had they traveled so far to come to the temple in Jerusalem for one of the major feasts of the Jews?
“The Pharisees retorted, “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?” 52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”
Okay, so let’s “look into it.” We find that Jonah was from Gath-Hepher, about three miles from Nazareth which was in Galilee. Annnnd, the city of Capernaum means “city of Nahum”. Hmmm…
The Jewish religious leaders were power-hungry liars and killers!
