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? John 3:13 and II Kings 2:11

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?

e are going to continue our examination of verses from the Bible to find out if they contain contradictions.

The first verse that we are going to study could be found in the book of John, chapter 3, verse 13. This is what it says—

“And no man hath ascended up to heaven but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”

In this particular verse, our Lord Jesus Christ was saying that no man has ascended up to heaven. But in the book of II Kings 2:11, this is what we could read—

“And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”

In this particular verse, it says that, the prophet Elijah has gone up to heaven by a whirlwind.

In John 3:13, our Lord Jesus Christ said, no man has ascended up to heaven, while in II Kings 2:11, it says that the prophet Elijah has gone up to heaven.

Do these verses contain contradictions? Do they oppose each other? What could be the correct answer? Let us ask our teachers … our pastors and ministers … the evangelists and the apostles. Let us ask them of the correct answers.

If they could not give you any answer, let us ask Brother Eli Soriano.
