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.

You’re smart.  Read the Bible for yourself.  Find out for yourself.  Do word searches.

The scripture for today, May 29 (5/29), is Acts 5:29 as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

“Peter and the other apostles replied, ‘We must obey God rather than men.’ “

There are many countries in the world today where a person is beaten, imprisoned and/or killed for believing in Jesus Christ or owning a Bible.  They must stay in the background and try to remain relatively unnoticed in order to survive.  But their faith continues unabated, even amidst their fears.  The church has survived persecution for 2000 years.

Even if they’re not killed, they are by-passed for promotion at work or fired, they are harassed when out shopping, they are threatened in public transportation, they are turned down for a good education, and they must tolerate derision just walking down the street or waiting at a bus stop.  But their faith continues unabated, even amidst their fears.

Such events are usually covered up by governments and news media, and the good people of those countries never know it is happening.  There are various newsletters on the internet about the persecuted that you can sign up for.  One is at www.persecution.org that sends news as soon as it happens.  Let us daily hold up these brave souls in our prayers ~ those who obey God rather than men.  In eternity, it will be God that we turn to, not men.
