Summary

This is the supposed Bible contradiction that I couldn't explain. Welcome to the new weekly stream! 10 questions every Friday at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. Today's Time Stamps:1. 0:07 {A Difficult Bible Contradiction} Can you please explain 1 Corinthians 14:22-24? Verse 22 states that tongues are a sign for unbelievers, and prophecy is for believers. But vv. 23 and 24 then go on to seemingly describe the exact opposite.2. 27:09 {John Rejects but Jesus Affirms?} How should we understand John's rejection of being Elijah and a prophet (John 1:21), while Jesus affirmed it (Matthew 11:14)?3. 34:42 {Debates on the Canon} What do we do with some of the earliest listed Bible canons and church fathers that exclude Esther and include Sirach and Wisdom of Solomon?4. 39:47 {Are Easier Translations Unwise?} I struggle reading word for word translations of the Bible like the ESV. I love the NLT for its simple vocabulary and how easy it is to understand. Is it unwise to use the NLT to memorize and study from?5. 41:56 {Proper Interpretation of a Common Passage} What are your thoughts on 1 Corinthians 6:19? I hear people use this Scripture to call anything they don’t like sin (tattoos, drugs, junk food, etc.). But it seems it’s mostly about sexual immorality.6. 52:36 {Are We Still Made in God’s Image?} Can you explain Genesis 5:1-3? Why is it different with the birth of Seth? Are we still God’s image bearers?7. 56:10 {Is “Déjà Vu” a Biblical Concept?} What are your thoughts on Deja Vu and are there any examples of it in the Bible? I've definitely had times where I had the feeling of being somewhere before when it was the first time being there.8. 1:01:02 {Are Eating Challenges Sinful?} Could you talk a little on what is and is not gluttony? Is it just eating more than you need to, or is there more involved (i.e., eating challenges)?9. 1:07:38 {When Competition turns Sinful} How do I know when my competitiveness is sinful? I coach baseball and want to ensure I'm providing the right model of competition for the players, while also still being as competitive as possible.10. 1:10:29 {“Apostasy” = “Departed”?} I've heard that the word translated "apostasy" in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 can also be translated as "departed," as in "the end will not come until the departing (rapture) comes first."

0:00.0	All right. Well, it's been an eventful week over here. I'll tell you what. But today we're talking about Bible contradictions. That's the first question. This question actually stumped me. You guys asked me this during a
0:13.4	live stream last Friday and I read the verse and I read it again and I read it in another translation
0:18.9	and I was just kind of reaching for something that helped me get clarity on it. And eventually I just said, I give up.
0:25.2	I don't know what the resolution is to this
0:28.0	off the top of my head at least.
0:29.2	And I've taught through this book before,
0:31.2	and I still just, nothing came to mind. It it was a while ago so I guess I forgot or maybe I didn't have an answer and I just I don't remember
0:37.6	So I dug into it in detail and this is my answer three possible resolutions to the contradiction,
0:43.8	supposed contradiction in 1st Corinthians 14.
0:46.1	Let me read to you the question that came in
0:48.5	about the supposed Bible contradiction
0:50.5	that I could not answer last week.
0:52.2	I've spent a number of hours on it now. I'm going to share with you three possible answers and you can try to work through what you think is the best and I'll give you two bad answers as well. So you get five. You get five for the price of none because you didn't pay nothing for this.
1:07.0	All right, so from the questions from 23 AJRF and says, can you please explain 1st Corinthians 14 22 through 24?
1:16.2	Verse 22 states that tongues are a sign for unbelievers and prophecy is for believers.
1:22.4	But versus 23 and 24, then go on to seemingly describe
1:25.6	the exact opposite.
1:28.5	Thanks.
1:29.0	Okay, so that's the question.
1:30.7	Let's go through this methodically, which is my favorite style.
1:35.8	Okay, 1st Corinthians 14, verse 22.
1:38.8	Here it says, let's understand the supposed contradiction,
