What Makes It a Hard Passage? 1. It really is not in the Bible. John 5:4 Angel stirring water. 2. It is not clear what it means. Luke 17:37 Where the body is there will the vultures gather. 3. It is a command no one can obey. Matthew 5:39 Do not resist the evil one. 4. It contradicts another part of Scripture. Luke 9:50 Not against is for. Luke 11:23 Not with is against. 5. It is physically impossible. Mark 9:50 Salt loses its saltiness. 6. Jesus does something that is wrong. Matt 15:21 He calls a woman a dog. 7. A “prophecy” does not really predict. Matt 2:15 Out of Egypt I called my son. 8. A prophecy does not come true. Matt 24:34 This generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. 9. It is historically inaccurate. Luke 2:2 This was the first census that took place when Quirinius was governor.
10. Real people do not act that way. Luke 4:22-30 People shift from praise to murder in a short time. 11. It contains a mistake. Mark 1:2 It is written in Isaiah the prophet. 12. It is a promise that does not come true. Mark 11:23 Faith moves mountains.
