Part 02: some Specific Contradictions<br />
*<strong>Revelation</strong> 1:7 notes that on Jesus’<br />
account “all the tribes of the Earth will<br />
wail”, while Jesus himself makes it clear<br />
in the Gospels that the primary purpose<br />
of his ministry is that our “Joy might be<br />
complete.” (see John 15:11)<br />
*<strong>Revelation</strong> 1:16 & <strong>Revelation</strong><br />
2:12 both have Jesus’ mouth<br />
becoming a “two-edged sword” – an<br />
actual weapon of death, while Jesus<br />
himself told others to keep all swords<br />
in their sheaths (see Matthew 26:52);<br />
that the only weapon he ever<br />
advocated using was the sharpened<br />
blade of the Word of God – a tool of<br />
pruning & purification. (see Matthew<br />
10:34 & John 12:47-48)<br />
*<strong>Revelation</strong> 1:17 has Jesus saying “I am the 1st<br />
and the last”, while the Gospel Jesus gave glory only<br />
to God the Father, not to himself. (see Mark 10:18,<br />
John 5:41, John 6:15, John 7:16, John12:44 et al)<br />
