116 Is The Bible God's Word?

HOW OLD WAS JEHOIACHIN?

8 OR 18?

Between Eight and Eighteen years, there is a gap or difference of
a full 10 years. Can we say (God forbid!) that the All-knowing
Almighty could not count, and thus did not know the difference
between 8 and 18? If we are to believe in the Bible as the Word
of God, then the Dignity and Status of the Lord Almighty will hit
an all-time low!
