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.”

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

Oops of the Day

Doubting Thomas deserves his reputation and is an example of what not to do.  He should have been ashamed of himself.  The other apostles believed Jesus had come back to life.  He was the only one who doubted.

John 20:24-25  –  John 11:16  –  Luke 24:10-11  –   Mark 16:14  –  John 20:19-20

Fact of the Day

No!  A couple of weeks earlier while in hiding on the other side of the Jordan, Jesus received word Lazarus was sick. Jesus decided to go to Bethany which was about 6 miles from Jerusalem. 

The APOSTLES OBJECTED to going so close to Jerusalem since the priests had announced they were going to kill him. 

BUT, THOMAS said, “Let us go so WE may DIE WITH HIM!” 

Later, after Jesus’ resurrection, Mary Magdalene announced that he had come back to life, the APOSTLES SCOFFED at her FOOLISH TALK.

When Jesus finally appeared to the apostles (while Thomas was gone), Jesus had to show them the nail and side holes on his body.  Finally, chastised the APOSTLES for NOT BELIEVING. 

BUT later, when Jesus appeared again and THOMAS bowed to him, he was the first of the apostles who CALLED JESUS GOD

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

Oops of the Day

The stone in front of Jesus’ burial cave was rolled away.

Matthew 28:2  –  Mark 16:4  –  Luke 24:2  –  Mark 9:26

Fact of the Day

No!  The word for “taken away” or “rolled away”  in Greek is “aero-menon” meaning it flew through the air.

SURPRISE OF THE DAY FOR APRIL 27

I WAS BAPTIZED 74 YEARS AGO TODAY APRIL27) in Dearborn, Michigan by Arnold Watson. I remember coming up out of the water and, even at age 11 (one week before turning 12) thinking,” I’m sinless” and with a vague after thought, “I wonder how long it will last.” I have always remembered that day as my RE-BIRTH DAY.
 
A lot has happened since then. Brother Watson returned to Texas and died there. Also his sweet wife and one of my Sunday School teachers, Ruby Mae.  I have lived through 6 wars and 10 presidents and several eclipses.
 
I have taught the gospel in person everywhere in the US I have lived, plus Korea, Canada, Sri Lanka, India, and last in Afghanistan. I went to Afghanistan when the T’ban were taking over to encourage the secret Christians there and to give my life for them if it ever came to that.
 
I have written books to inspire people to become Christians, and hope they have accomplished that somewhere. I have never doubted that my baptism was the most important thing I ever did in my life and have never regretted it,
 
And now I wait for my turn to go HOME.

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

Oops of the Day

All Jesus’ apostles fled and hid while Jesus was being crucified.  Only John was at the crucifixion. That’s another reason Jesus had to hand over the care of his mother to John.

Luke 23:46-49

Fact of the Day

No!  EVERYONE who knew Jesus and had followed him from Galilee, including the women, watched at a distance.  In the account, Luke did not reveal any names including the women – perhaps to protect their identities.

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

Oops of the Day

Jesus asked the apostle John to take care of his mother after his death just because Joseph had died.

John 19:27 & 25  –  Matthew 27:56  –  Mark 15:40  –  Matthew 13:55  –  Mark 6:3

Fact of the Day

Yes & No!  Yes, Joseph had died.  But there was more to it than that.  Jesus had four brothers but they did not believe who Jesus was, meaning they also did not believe their own mother.  But John did believe and John was Jesus’ cousin.    It was natural for Mary to be more comforted with John because Salome, his mother, was Mary’s sister.

Surprise of the Day

The Creator re-created a man’s eyes?

John 1:1-4; 14  –  Matthew 15:30 – Matthew 8:2-3 – John 9:6

Fact of the Day

This man was born blind.  God made man from clay.  Jesus was the Creator (John 1:2).

Jesus healed the maimed, that meant he made arms and legs grow back. When Jesus healed leprosy, that meant he made healthy skin grow back.

When he formed the clay for the man’s eyes, was he making eyeballs for him?  Anophthalmia is a disease where a person is born without eyeballs.  About 1 in every 5,200 babies is born with this.

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!

Oops of the Day

At one time, Judas truly believed in Jesus.  But, after three years, he turned on Jesus.

Mark 14:10-11  –  John 6:64

Fact of the Day

No! Judas never believed.
