ANSWERING THE BIBLE:
Q. In the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, what should stick out of his mouth?
Ans: A sharp two-edged sword.
For this let us look at the following verses:
21st Century King James Version:
14His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were as a flame of fire;
15and His feet like unto fine brass, as though they burned in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters.
16And He had in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword, and His countenance shone as the sun shineth in his strength. (Revelation 1: 14-17).
English Standard Version:
14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Revelation 1: 14-17)
New Living Translation:
14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance. (Revelation 1: 14-17).
New Century Version:
14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like flames of fire.15 His feet were like bronze that glows hot in a furnace, and his voice was like the noise of flooding water.16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. He looked like the sun shining at its brightest time.
“A double edged sword from the mouth of Jesus”—was he looking like a monster? Secondly, if he is like a “sun shinning at its brightest time”, then how would his disciples look at him….Really amusing….Huh!!

Q. What food did John the Baptist take when he began preaching in the desert area of Judea .
Ans: Locusts and wild honey.
Locust--any of several grasshoppers of the family Acrididae, having short antennae and commonly migrating in swarms that strip the vegetation from large areas (http://www.dictionary.com/).
In Islam locusts are considered lawful food along with fish that do not require ritual slaughtering (Wikipedia).
Now let us look at the following verses:
21st Century King James Version:
4And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4).
New Century Version:
4 John's clothes were made from camel's hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food, he ate locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4).
English Standard Version:
Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4).
New Century Version:
4 John's clothes were made from camel's hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food, he ate locusts and wild honey. (Matthew 3:4).
So if you following the Bible you can safely eat Grasshoppers…..Huh!!
