We’re Learning How To Answer This Question
And Someone Told Me that the Two Lists Contradict Each
Other!
Moses Was Just Being a Good Pastor! Exodus 20 was the original
10 commandments given by God and immediately delivered by Moses
In Deuteronomy 5, Moses is reminding the Israelites of the commandments and explaining them further
God Didn’t Dictate the Entire Bible! He Inspired It! What 2 parts did He dictate
word for word? God allowed His servants to
use their own style while also keeping every word in line with what He wanted to say.
Italicized Words in the Bible
English words do not hold as much meaning as others Therefore, we need more
words to get the same meaning
The Italicized words help get the meaning of the original
languages across
Exodus 20:8-11 Deuteronomy 5:12-15
4th Commandment
God gives 2 different reasons to obey the commandment. Does this make one version correct and the other incorrect?
No? Why?
It’s okay to have more than one reason to obey a command!
[. . .] “neighbor's house” [first vs.] “neighbor's wife“ [first]: According to the best Biblical scholars, this indicates [that] property in [Exodus] days was considered of greater value than a wife
Exodus 20:17 Deuteronomy 5:21 10th Commandment
Exodus 20:17 and Deuteronomy 5:21
Remember, in the East, wording doesn’t have to stay exact, as long as meaning stays the same.
As for “best Biblical scholars”, the best ones I know don’t even address the issue because it’s not an issue!

The Genealogy of The Genealogy of JesusJesus
Why is the one in Matthew different from the one in Luke?Does this mean that Jesus wasn’t a real person?
Blanks on Page 12:Blanks on Page 12:MatthewMatthew gives the gives the
legal genealogy legal genealogy through Jesus’ through Jesus’
stepfather stepfather JosephJoseph, , while while LukeLuke recorded recorded His descent through His descent through
MaryMary..
But Doesn’t Luke start like But Doesn’t Luke start like Matthew by saying Jesus was the Matthew by saying Jesus was the son of Joseph?son of Joseph?
Luke says, “being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph”
The rest of the names on the list are sure and not just supposed
So after the word “Joseph”, the passage switches to Mary’s
genealogy as Jesus really was and not just supposedly
descended from or “the son of” Eli, Matthat, Levi etc.
But weren’t Mary’s Parents But weren’t Mary’s Parents Joachim and Anna?Joachim and Anna?
This is just a tradition started by the Catholic church derived from
the apocrypha The early Christian church examined these and rejected
themThe Catholic church has actually
acknowledged that these names are nothing more than a made-up story but continues the erroneous
tradition
Comparing the 2 GenealogiesComparing the 2 GenealogiesMatthew 1 Luke 3

Line of Mary through David’s son Nathan
1 or 2 Demoniacs?A well-known “contradiction”
But in 3 of the gospels, Jesus eats the Passover meal, which
included the lamb!Doesn’t that mean the lambs were slain the day before He
died?
When are the Passover lambs slain?Couldn’t He and His disciples have eaten
a special meal before everyone else?Doesn’t John say that they wanted His
body taken away because it was “the preparation” for the Sabbath?
Doesn’t John say the Jewish leaders didn’t want to go into Pilate’s judgment
hall because they didn’t want to be defiled for the Passover meal?
