The Bible vs Discouragement. 6-2-2006. |
Acts 25: 13-21.
Paul Before King Agrippa.
When a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in
Caesarea on a visit to Festus. Since they spent several days there,
Festus referred Paul's case to the king, saying, "There is a man here
left in custody by Felix. When I was in Jerusalem the chief priests
and the elders of the Jewish brought charges against him and demanded
his condemnation. I answered them that it was not Roman practice to
hand over an accused person before he has faced his accusers and had
the opportunity to defend himself against their charge. So when they
came together here, I made no delay; the next day I took my seat on the
tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in. His accusers stood
around him, but did not charge him with any of the crimes I suspected.
Instead they had some issues with him about their own religion and
about a certain Jesus who had died but who Paul claimed was alive.
Since I was at a loss how to investigate this controversy, I asked if
he were willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these
charges. And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody for the
Emperor's decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to
Caesar."

Contradictions of the gospels,
Jesus and his apostles and ascension.
Mark 16
Jesus meets Mary Magdalene, then two
unnamed disciples. He appears to the
eleven remaining apostles who are hiding
in a room in Jerusalem. He speaks to them
and then "..after the lord had spoken to
them he was recieved up into heaven."
Matthew 28.
Jesus is never in Jerusalem at all. He sends
word that the apostles are to meet him in
Galilee, "Then the eleven disciples went into
Galilee into a mountain Jesus had appointed
them."
No ascension to heaven is mentioned at all.
Luke 24
Jesus appears to two unnamed disciples,
then to the eleven apostles in Jerusalem.
The apostles are told to stay in Jerusalem until
they are "endued with power from on high".
He then leads them out to a village named Bethany
and ascends to heaven from there.
They return to Jerusalem and are "continually
in the temple".
John 20
Jesus appears twice to his apostles, once in
Jerusalem. Then in Galilee at the sea of Tiberius.
No ascension to heaven is mentioned.
Acts 1.
He appears to his apostles in Jerusalem and is
there forty days. They are commanded not to
depart Jerusalem. At Mount Olivet, Jesus is
purported to have ascended to heaven, and the
apostles return to Jerusalem.
Basically, no two 'gospels' even come close
to agreeing with one another on 'facts' on what
is obviously one of the most momentous claims
ever made. Obviously the claims must therefore
be false. These are not claims of eyewitnesses,
apostles, no anybody with the faintest knowledge
of anything about any of this.

In a message sent 'round the world, poured fuel on
the fire with the following:
Acts 25: 13-21.
Paul Before King Agrippa.
The Bible vs the Padre 6-2-2006
The passage above has nothing to do with discouragement. It is actually
testament to Paul's stupidity. As stated in Acts 26:31-32 :
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves,
saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at
liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

Josef
