(Part-10)
271: Order of creation?
(Genesis 12:14) The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. Here was evening and there was morning, a third day. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.
Vegetation & plantation was already created before creation of the light. Then how the plantation was possible?
272: Prophet Aaron built The Calf?
(Exodus 32:2) Aaron said to people of Israel, "take off the rings of Gold which are in the ears of your wives, your sons and your daughters. So they took off the rings of gold, and brought them to Aaron. And he received the gold at their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a molten calf and they said, "These are your Gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Aaron was the brother of Moses & also a prophet, according to Bible a prophet (Aaron) misguided his people by making them idolaters.
273: God or Satan?
(2 Samuel 24:1) God provoked David against Israel, and said: Go and number them.
(1 Chronicles 21:1) Satan provoked David against Israel and ordered him to go and number Israel.
274: God of the Bible has 6 Sons.
(Luke 3:38) Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Saith, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of God.
(Exodus 4:22) "Then you (Moses) shall say to Pharaoh" Thus says the LORD, "Israel is My Son, My firstborn.
(Jeremiah 31:9) With weeping they will come; And by supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk by streams of waters; On a straight path in which they will not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn."
(Pslam 2:7) I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He (God) said to Me, "You (David) are My Son, Today I
have begotten You.
(1 Chronicles 28:6) He (God) said to me (David), "It is Solomon your son who shall build my house and my
courts, for I have chosen him to be my Son, and I will be his Father.
(Matthew 16:16-17) Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven."
275: Is the earth round or flat?
(Isaiah 40:22) It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
(Matthew 4:8) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.
Astronomical bodies are spherical, and we can't see the entire exterior surface from anyplace. So Matthew 4:8
claims that the earth is flat, because Jesus saw all kingdoms of the wold by standing on a mountain. And the
history says that the kingdoms of Egypt, China, Greece, Crete, some parts of Asia Minor, India, Maya (in Mexico), Carthage (North Africa), Rome (Italy), Korea, and other settlements from these kingdoms of the world were widely distributed at that time!!!!

(Isiaah 43:4) Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honourable, and I have loved you. Therefore, I will give men in exchange for you, and people for your life.

(Genisis 22:1) And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham.

(Matthew 28:2-5) And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon.
289: Jesus' last words?
(Matthew.27:46-50) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, Lama
Sabachthani?" And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is
calling for Elijah". Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a
reed, and gave him a drink. But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him". And
Jesus cried out again with a loud voice & yielded up His Spirit.
(Luke23:46) And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my Spirit:" having said this, he breathed His last.
(John 19:27-30) Then He (Jesus) said to the disciple, "Behold your mother" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household. After this, Jesus knowing that all things already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, "I am thirsty". A Jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought up to His mouth. Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed Hid head and gave up his Spirit.

According to Luke 23:55, 24:1 and 24:10, "the women who had come with him out of Galilee." Among these
women were "Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James." Though contrarily Luke indicates in verse 24:10 that there were at least two others.
According to John 20:1-4, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb alone, saw the stone removed, ran to find Peter,
and returned to the tomb with Peter and another disciple.
292: Who was at the Empty Tomb?
(Matthew 28:1) In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
(Mark 16:1) And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
(John 20:1) The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre,
and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
293: What did the women tell about the empty tomb?
According to Mark 16:8, "they said nothing to anyone."
According to Matthew 28:8, they "ran to report it to His disciples."
According to Luke 24:9, "they reported these things to the eleven and to all the rest."
According to John 20:18, Mary Magdalene announces to the disciples that she has seen the Lord.
294: What was Jesus' prediction about Peter's denial to him?
(Matthew 26:34) Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
(Mark 14:30) And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you
yourself will deny Me three times."
295: How many times did the cock crow?
(Mark 14:72) And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him,
Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
(Matthew 26:74-75) Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
(Luke 22:60-61) And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
(John13:38) Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, still thou hast denied me thrice.
(John 18:27) Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
296: From where Jesus Ascended?
According to Luke 24:51, Jesus' ascension took place in Bethany, on the same day as his resurrection.
According to Acts 1:9-12, Jesus' ascension took place at Mount Olivet, forty days after his resurrection.
297: No Sign? One Sign? Or Many Signs?
According to Mark 8:12, Jesus says that "no sign shall be given to this generation.
According to Matthew12:39, Jesus says that only one sign would be given; "The sign of Jonah". Jesus says that just as Jonah (Younus in Islam) spent three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so he will spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Here Jesus makes an incorrect prediction, he only spends two nights in the tomb (Friday and Saturday nights), not three nights.
Contrasting from both Mark & Matthew, the Gospel of John speaks of many signs that Jesus did. For example:
(1) The miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana is called the beginning (or first) of the signs that Jesus did (John 2:11).
(2) The healing at Capernaum is the "second sign" (John 4:54).
(3) Many people were following Jesus "because they were seeing the signs He was performing" (John 6:2).
298: Where did Jesus Call His Disciples?
1. In Matthew 4:18-22 and Mark 1:16-20, Peter and Andrew are casting nets into the sea. Jesus calls out to them and they leave their nets and follow him. Jesus then goes on a little further and sees James and John mending their nets with their father. He calls to them and they leave their father and follow him.
2. In Luke 5:1-11, Jesus asks Peter to take him out in Peter's boat so Jesus can preach to the multitude. James and John are in another boat. When Jesus finishes preaching, he tells Peter how to catch a great quantity of fish. (John 21:3-6 incorporates this story in a post- resurrection appearance). After Peter catches the fish, he and James and John are so impressed that after they bring their boats to shore they leave everything and follow Jesus.
3. In John 1:35-42, Andrew hears John the Baptist call Jesus the Lamb of God. Andrew then stays with Jesus for the remainder of the day and then goes to get his brother Peter and brings him to meet Jesus.
299: Should the 12 Disciples take Staffs?
When Jesus summons the twelve disciples to send them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, he lists the things the disciples should not take with them.
1. In Matthew 10:9-10 and Luke 9:3-5, a staff is included in the list of things not to take.
2. In contradiction to Matthew and Luke, Mark 6:8 makes a specific exception - the disciples may take a staff.
300: Should we call others Fool?
(Matthew 5:22) Jesus commands people to not call others "Fool".
(Matthew 23:17) Jesus calls his disciple "Fool" by himself.
