QUES. 10.-There seems a contradiction between the statements in John 7:7, 15:19 and 17:14. Will you kindly explain through " Help and Food "?
ANS.-The only cause of difficulty in these passages lies in overlooking chap. 7:5. "His brethren" in 7:7, are His brothers according to the flesh-the children of Joseph and Mary-who were then unconverted and therefore of the world. In Acts 1:14 they have been converted and therefore become His brethren in the Spirit, the kind addressed in 15:19 and 17:14. All therefore is in perfect harmony.
