Bible Contradiction? Where did John baptize?

For more of our posts responding to alleged Bible contradictions check out our Collection of Posts Responding to Bible Contradictions.

For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Where did John baptize?

Here are the two answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:

In the Jordan River

“Now John himself had a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan; 6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.” (Matthew 3:4-6)

“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.” (Mark 1:9)

In Bethabara, beyond the Jordan

“These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.” (John 1:28)

(All Scriptural quotation comes from the New American Standard Bible)

 

Here’s a closer look at whether or not there is a contradiction:

In Defense of Christianity Lectures: Foundational Principles for Engaging an Unbelieving World

This is a five part video lecture series featuring the Rev. Dr. Alan D. Strange teaching on Presuppositional Apologetics. This conference was sponsored by Resurrection Presbyterian Church in Oshkosh, WI. The conference took place on October 20th-21st, 2018.

In the first session Dr. Strange evaluate the unbeliever’s claim to be neutral regarding their interpretation of reality and demonstrate that this is a myth since no worldview is neutral.  The second session looks at how a biblical approach to unbelief requires an exploration of the presuppositions that lie underneath unbelievers’ interpretation of reality.  Session three looks at the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its apologetics’ value while session four looks at the problem of evil and how in order to attempt to refute Christianity with it, unbelievers still have to rest on Christian worldview.  Finally session five is on the Gospel.

Bible Contradiction? Did Jehoiakim die in Babylon or near Jerusalem?

For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Did Jehoiakim die in Babylon or near Jerusalem?

Here are the two answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:

He died in Babylon.

“Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord his God. ⁶ Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.” (2 Chronicles 36:5-6)

He died near Jerusalem.

“Therefore thus says the Lord in regard to Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, “They will not lament for him: ‘Alas, my brother!’ or, ‘Alas, sister!’ They will not lament for him: ‘Alas for the master!’ or, ‘Alas for his splendor!’ 19 “He will be buried with a donkey’s burial, Dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.” (Jeremiah 22:18-19)

(All Scriptural quotation comes from the New American Standard Bible)

Here’s a closer look at whether or not there is a contradiction:
