I CAN`T IMAGINE a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a thousand-mile step. When you say a single step, it is a very small beginning compared to the length of a journey that Lao Tzu is trying to tell or impress in this quotation.

Home Programs Are they Contradictory? Exodus 20:13 and Luke 19:27

No program of this kind has challenged the intelligent thinking man and skeptics who quickly dismiss the Bible as a source of truth, and claims that the Bible is inaccurate and self-contradictory.

But the seemingly contradictory verses that Bro. Willy Santiago posed will surely trickle down as to who is the rightful preacher and pastor gifted with the mastery of the Word of God in the Bible. Who will stand to answer the seemingly paradoxical verse? That is the challenge of this segment to everyone!
 
Are they Contradictory?

pleasant day to all! We shall continue examining the verses of the Bible to find out if they contain contradictions. The verses that we are featuring today are Exodus 20:13 and Luke 19:27.

In Exodus 20:13, God says—

“Thou shalt not kill.”

Very clearly, in this particular verse God is prohibiting us to kill. But in one of the books of the New Testament, Luke 19:27, our Lord Jesus says that—

“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”

In other words, in this verse, our Lord Jesus Christ is commanding that His enemies be slain before Him.

Why Exodus 20:13 says, “Thou shalt not kill,” while Luke 19:27 says, “… slay them before me …”? Do these verses contradict each other? Which between the two verses is correct?

Let us ask our teachers, our pastors, our ministers, and our priests. Let us also ask those who claim to be evangelists and apostles. Let us ask for their answer. But should they fail to give you any, let us ask Brother Eli Soriano.
