It’s very interesting that those who criticize the Bible do not submit their own documents and resources to the same rigorous authentication process. I think in the deepest recesses of their hearts, they truly believe that the Bible is indeed the word of God. So anytime there seems to be a conflict in the Scripture there is a deep sigh of relief in their minds since now they can refute the claim that the Bible is the word of God and continue living in Sin. Most critics point their guns at the word of God not because they are sincere Truth seekers but because of their immorality. One of the things they usually look for, are the “so called “contradictions in the Bible, especially in the gospels. Today we are going to look at the account of the Gadarenes demon possessed men or man. Matthew mentions two demon possessed men while Luke mentions a demon possessed man. So the immediate question that comes to our minds when we encounter this is: why are the reports conflicting? And we tend to panic, thinking that there is a contradiction. We’re going to reconcile both accounts today by letting Bible be its own defender, see video below

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
