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

Oops of the Day

Demon possession has always existed and is as common today as it was during Bible times.

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

Fact of the Day

No!  Examine the Bible. God allowed demons to reveal themselves only during the lifetime of Jesus and his apostles. Demons having access to our world ceased when Jesus finished proving to the world his power over them.

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 the Christian writers of the 2nd and 3rd centuries – “Apostolic Fathers” or “Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History.”

Oops of the Day

Everyone has to walk through the valley of the shadow of death upon their death.

Psalm 23:4  –  Matthew 4:16

Fact of the Day

No!  For the Christian, light has come to the shadow of death!  It is neither shadow nor death.

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

Oops of the Day

During Jesus early days preaching,  he was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and saw Peter and Andrew, who he had only met briefly where John the Baptist preached.  But. when he told them to follow him, it was amazing that they dropped everything and did.

Matthew 4:13 and 18-20  –  John 1:44  – Luke 5:10

Fact of the Day

No!  Peter and Andrew lived in Bethsaida, just two miles from Capernaum..  By then, Jesus had moved from Nazareth to Capernaum.  James and John (who were related to Jesus) were Peter’s and Andrew’s fishing  partners.  Jesus  had probably already known Peter and Andrew for years.
