Look carefully at 2 Chronicles 22:1 (the verse before) which explains why the context is different.

According to the prophecies in Ezekiel 26, God would bring Nebuchadnezzar against the proud city of Tyre and would utterly destroy it. However, Ezekiel 29:18 indicates that Nebuchadnezzar failed to capture Tyre. How can these two statements be reconciled?

Genesis 3: What We Know Today's title is a commentary on commentaries. “What We Know” you see is very little. As the third chapter in the first book of the Bible, it's importance cannot be underestimated. And yet, what we know is surprisingly small. Taking a fresh look at the chapter let's try to do it some justice.

But herein lies the closing chapter in the lives of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel. v.1 The reason why people lived such long lives in early creation was because, as created directly by God they were physically perfect. Therefore it was natural for them to live such long lives.

New Name Isaiah prophesies something about a “New Name”. Christians argue that this means the Jews will be replaced by Christians. They say the name “Jew” has become a slur, and (ex. 1 Peter 4:16) the 'new name' given was 'Christians'; “However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

The No Observer Argument In the double slit experiment, generally speaking the presence of an observer alters the outcome of the experiment. Due to the observation that the experiment can be completed in a manner in which there is no observer to alter the outcome of the experiment, therefore God is not observing the experiment either and therefore this causes a contradiction with the idea that God is omnipresent/omniscient.

Ten Lost Tribes Scriptural Basis The scriptural basis for the idea of “10 Lost Tribes” is 2 Kings 17:6: “ Although the tribes were considered “lost” to the biblical narrative (and “Western Knowledge” whatever that may mean) 2 Kings 17 does in fact say where some of the tribes had been settled, and nation of Israel tribes have continued to exist in those regions even unto the modern day (see below,

The Genealogy of Jesus The Genealogy of Jesus is utterly important to the early Christians. Matthew and Luke spend dozens of verses to show that Jesus comes from the house of David. These Genealogies were meant to provide proof because it was (and remains) a well known fact that in order to be a Messiah one has to be a son of David.

Trapped Universe argument The Trapped Universe argument is an argument for the existence of God. It is not a direct proof for the existence of the “Abrahamic God” because no such proof exists for the existence of a God who has revealed his identity and properties in a subjective manner. However, as will be seen, this proof will aim to falsify Atheism and give strong support for a God with the same properties as the Abraham God.

Slippery Slope Christianity has painted themselves into a corner; Jesus has to be God, or Christianity is a false religion; but moreso, an idolatrous religion. This is because Christianity has created mode of worship, prayer and practice which assumes Jesus is God.
