The Ascension Timeline Mystery

When exactly did Jesus ascend to heaven? Luke 24:51 says it happened on the same day as the resurrection, while Acts 1:3—also written by Luke—says Jesus appeared to the disciples over forty days before ascending. The same author, two completely different timelines. This contradiction matters because it touches on how the resurrection appearances were experienced—were they fleeting and dramatic, or drawn-out and instructional? It suggests that theology, not chronology, shaped the story's telling.

"If the timeline shifts depending on the message being conveyed, it suggests that theology—not chronology—shaped the story's telling."

Does God Lie?

Multiple verses emphatically state that God cannot lie—Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Titus 1:2, and Hebrews 6:18 all affirm God is truthful and incapable of deception. But then we read that God sends a lying spirit into the mouths of prophets to deceive a king (1 Kings 22:23), and Ezekiel 14:9 says if a prophet is deceived, it's because God Himself has deceived him. Apologists say God permits deception as judgment, but that still means God initiates falsehood. The Bible says both.

"Is God always honest—or is He sometimes strategic in using deception? The Bible says both."

When Was God's Name First Revealed?

According to Exodus 6:3, God tells Moses, 'I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob… but by my name YHWH I was not known to them.' This seems clear: the first reveal. But flip back to Genesis, and the name YHWH appears dozens of times throughout the patriarchal narratives. Genesis 4:26 says people were already calling on 'the name of the LORD.' Did the name suddenly vanish from memory before Moses? This contradiction questions the internal consistency of God's self-disclosure—a major theme in the Bible.

"If even God's name rollout is fuzzy, what else might be layered, rewritten, or theologically repackaged?"
