There are what we can feel like an overwhelming number of skeptics today concerning New Testament scholarship, even within evangelical and Baptist circles. Today on The Postscript, we demonstrate a few apparent contradictions in Jesus' miracles across gospel writers Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, showing how many so-called contradictions in the Bible are dismantled with simple Bible study principles such as context and key words, which illuminate a more holistic picture of the scene than one account could alone.
There is purpose behind every apparent contradiction in the Bible that only the earnest and honest student of God's Word will go the length to understand. Instructor of Biblical Studies at the Living Faith Bible Institute, Mitch Dobson, and Provost of LFBI, Brandon Briscoe, walk through some of those doctrinal insights which are useful for Christian life and ministry as they examine a few apparent contradictions in an exegetical fashion.
