If the
Blessed Virgin Mary had other children by Joseph, as some claim...
Then why did NOT Jesus give His mother to one of them instead of to John, in John
19:27?
After all, Jewish law would have demanded it.
If the word 'until' means something happened
AFTER that point as in
Matthew 1:25, as some claim...
Then why does NOT the Bible mention the births of
these 'brothers' and 'sisters' of Christ?
Then why does the dictionary
define the word 'until' as:
'up to the time of', or 'before a specified
time', or 'UNTO'. Not once
is it even implied that something happened after that 'specified time'. American
Heritage Dictionary.
Then why does the Bible say in 2Samuel 6:23 that
'Michol had no child UNTO
the day of her death'? Is Scripture implying she had a child AFTER she died?
The same dictionary
defines the word 'unto' as:
'to', 'Until', 'see until'.
If the word 'brethren' or 'brother' as used in
Scripture only means 'blood brother', as some say...
Then why aren't the
mother and the father of the 120 'brethren' in Acts 1:15, or the mother and
father of the 500 'brethren' in 1Corinthians 15:6, ever mentioned?
Then why
does Abram call Lot 'brethren' (KJ) in Genesis 13:8, when Lot clearly was his
nephew in Genesis 11:27-28?
Then in Galatians 1:19, why did St. Paul call
James the 'brother' of the Lord, when clearly the parents of James (the Less)
were shown in Matthew 10:2-3, 27:56 and 61,28:1 and John 19:25, as being
Cleophas (Alphaeus) and the 'other Mary'?
See 'Genealogy
of the Brethren' for a clarifying map of the parents of James.
If you believe everything is in the
Bible...
Then why can't these words of Jesus Christ, be found
anywhere in it?
Acts 20:35 says, "Remember the word of the Lord Jesus, that
He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to
receive'".
Then why does St. John say
everything is NOT in the
Bible? John 20:30,21:25
Then what is the purpose of John 16:13 where the Holy
Spirit WILL teach you all
the truth?
If
the Holy Eucharist is but a symbol and not the true presence of Jesus Christ as
some say...
Then why in Matthew 26:26 did Jesus NOT say, 'Take and eat; this is A SYMBOL of My Body'?
After all
Jesus IS the truth...right? (John 14:6)
If you believe in the doctrine of the Holy
Trinity...
Then please tell me where the Holy Trinity, by word, is found
in the Bible.
If the Bible is the foundation and the pillar of
truth...
Then why does the Bible say in 1Timothy 3:15, 'the CHURCH is the pillar and the foundation
of truth'?
If the Bible is the supreme authority in
Christendom...
Then why in Matthew 18:17, on the third and last appeal,
did Jesus NOT say, 'appeal
to the BIBLE'?
Then why
in Ephesians 3:10 does it say, "in order that through the CHURCH there be made known to the
Principalities and the Powers in the heavens the manifold wisdom of GOD", and
not through the Bible?
If the Bible is meant to be interpreted on an
individual basis...
Then why in 2Peter 1:20 does it say, 'This then you
must understand first of all, that NO Prophecy of Scripture is made by private interpretation'?
If faith is obtained by reading the Bible as some
believe...
Then why in Romans 10:17 does it NOT say. 'Faith then depends on
READING the Word of
Christ'?
If the Bible is self authenticating as some
believe...
Then where in the Bible does it say that it is?
If the revelation of Jesus Christ ended with the death
of the last Apostle...
Then where is this shown in the Bible? How do you
know this to be true?
If you believe the books in the Bible ARE,
in fact, the inspired Bible...
Then show me
where in the Bible does it list the inspired books? If you cannot find such a
list, then please tell me how you know you are using inspired books at all?
If you believe that ALL
scripture is inspired, 2Timothy 3:16...
Then
please explain to me why the Gospels of Peter and Thomas are not in your
Bible?
