No! By the end of Jesus’ first year, the religious leaders began plotting to kill him.  For the next 2-1/2 years, he dodged them sometimes, and faced them down sometimes.  He did not give in until he decided to. It was always on his terms. He was always in control.

(1) Right after he healed on the Sabbath;

(2)  Right after he fed 5000 miraculously;

(3) Right after he called himself the Bread of Life;

(4) Right after he told the religious leaders they were sons of Satan;

(5) Right after he told them he could grant eternal life;

(6) Right after he brought Lazarus back to life;

(7) Right after Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as their king;

(8) Just before Jesus’ 3rd Passover of his ministry.

OOPS OF THE DAY 

Palm branches were always waved to celebrate Passover,

so that’s what people waved when Jesus entered Jerusalem as their king.

Matthew 21:7-10  –  Leviticus 23:39-43

FACT OF THE DAY

No!  The Passover was held each year in in late March or Early April.  Palm branches were waved in early October.   Palm branches were part of the Feast of Booths which was an extension of the Day of Atonement – the Day of SALVATION. 

Passover was in the spring and the Feast of Booths was in the autumn.  So the people declared him their SAVIOR symbolically with the palm branches.

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ January 18

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

Oops of the Day

Jesus gave the apostles the power to forgive sins and their decision will be accepted in heaven.

Matthew 16:19  –  Matthew 18:18  –  I Corinthians 9:5

Fact of the Day

No!  The term “shall be” or “will be” (future tense) was not in the original Greek. In the Greek, the term is really “shall have been” was “has been” (past tense).   In other words, whose ever sins they forgave were already forgiven in heaven.

Some people still today have the miraculous gift of healing.

Matthew 15:30 

Fact of the Day

No!  The Bible says Jesus and his apostles healed the maimed.  “Maimed” comes from a Greek word meaning crippled in any way including amputation.  Jesus & his apostles could make arms and legs grow back!

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ January 13

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

Oops of the Day

When Jesus returns, the first thing he will do is send the angels out to gather up evil people of the world to be punished

Matthew 13:24-30  –  Matthew 13:36-43

Fact of the Day

No! The parable where good wheat is planted, then an enemy plants weeds among it during the night is about  hypocrites.   Look closely at verse 41 which says the angels will gather “out of the kingdom” (out of the church) those who cause others to stumble and are vulgar and pornographic, and he will punish them all.
