We sometimes find what appears to be discrepancies in the Bible. Sceptics then immediately proclaim that this proves that the Bible is not accurate – that what is written there cannot be trusted. One such example is the written account of the demon-possessed men, found in Matthew 8:28 – 34 “28 When He came to …

Road to rebellion
Gen 4:6-7 And the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? And why do you look annoyed? You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue …
Thunder and lightnings
Job 37:6-7 He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down. Then everyone stops working so they can watch his power. The weather is a quite common topic of conversation. Even when meeting strangers, discussing the current weather patterns is a convenient way of starting the getting-to-know-you process. …
The fringe of His garment
Matthew 14:36 They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed. These healing miracles happened in Gennesaret, just after Jesus and His disciples had crossed the Sea of Galilee, where Peter had attempted to walk on the water, and Jesus had calmed …
Am I truly born again
1 John 3:9-10 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who …
Slaves
Romans 6:6 “We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.” Have you thought about slaves recently? If so, you probably had an image from some or other movie come into your mind, because slaves are …
God’s Name is a Strong Tower
Ps 53:5 “There they are, in terror and dread, where there was [and had been] no terror and dread!…” The sheer volume of fake news and misinformation that is sent out on a daily – and I can actually say, hourly – basis, is staggering. Some are so blatant that even the untrained eye and …
Diamond painting
Is 46:10 “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ I sometimes enjoy relaxing with an art activity which is called diamond painting. Basically, it is a coloured picture covered with glue, and …
A round earth
Isaiah 40:22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. If the internet is to be believed, there seems to be many people out there believing that the earth is …
The veil is removed
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honour to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. One of the highlights of a wedding ceremony is the custom where the veiled bride walks up the isle towards her bridegroom, …
