The Bible is accurate and without error! Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions Volume 2 offers 40 powerful explanations to prove it. There is an increasing focus in our culture on dismissing the Bible and its authority. Generations of skeptics and the religion of evolution have influenced even some Christian leaders. By highlighting supposed errors or inconsistencies in the Bible, doubt is created in the minds of believers and stumbling blocks are put up for those trying to present the Gospel. But Biblical evidence disproves the toughest of critics while bringing to light the indestructible power of God’s Word. Tim Chaffey, Ken Ham, and Bodie Hodge of Answers in Genesis highlight the answers to these debates and more: Is all Scripture inspired by God, or is some of it the opinion of the writers of Scripture? After His resurrection, did Jesus first appear to the eleven disciples on a mountain in Galilee or in Jerusalem behind closed doors? Can God be tempted? Why don’t Christians follow all the Old Testament laws? Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions Volumes 1 and 2 are must-have references for every believer who wants to have an answer to give to those who ask a reason for their hope (1 Peter 3:15). Join the battle armed with the sword of Spirit, the truth that will defeat the lies aimed for this generation and those to follow.

For a long time mainstream gospel scholarship has assumed that the so-called Q material (the "double tradition") in Matthew and Luke represents a document or tradition that was almost exclusively orientated towards the sayings of Jesus of Nazareth, with little interest in a narrative about him. This book argues, on the contrary, that the narrative material in the double tradition existed from the very beginning within a coherent Jesus narrative that ran from his baptism to his passion. Far from being inserted by Matthew and Luke into the framework of Mark, the double tradition is structured on the very same narrative framework as the Gospel of Mark (a framework that predates Mark). Conventional dichotomies in gospel origins, the historical Jesus, and the history of early Christianity are thus drawn into question.

In this volume, But Without a Parable Jesus Did Not Speak Interpretation of All the Parables of Jesus Christ tenders a brand-new outlook on the ministry of Jesus as a human being and as eternal God and serves a biblical interpretation of the spiritual language of parables. This gospel commentary was taken from the Book of Matthew that harmonizes teachings of the other New Testament books and, from that point on, offers a cultural and political background of the times when Jesus was living in Israel, with dates and historical fact and analysis of everything written in his three-and-a-half-year ministry on earth. Since this is a resource that interprets all the gospel parables spoken by Jesus from Matthew, Mark, and Luke and, in addition, makes clear his plan of salvation created from the foundation of the world, But Without a Parable Jesus Did Not Speak Interpretation of All the Parables puts forward a detailed description at the time of the cross while Jesus was alive and knew that all things at that moment had been accomplished and the scriptures had been fulfilled. He cries out “it is finished,” and that moment in time ensures the payment for sin was fully paid for while Jesus was still alive on the cross. And another aspect of the book explains the controversy of divorcement and the NT Sabbath day, which are all included as part of the new covenant that comprises the doctrines of the Christian churches.
