Bible chapters are not always in the right chronological order. True or False?
Harry I beg on you in the Name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to be sure you have what Jesus said you'd have (((AFTER))) you receive the Holy Spirit in order to be "inspired by THE Holy Spirit and not just the feeling that you have the Holy Spirit or you call Jesus' promises of THE Holy Spirit a LIE when He said that HIS HOLY SPIRIT comes with (((POWER))) [Acts 1:8] Spiritual gifts [I Corinthians 12:7-10] and Signs following [Mark 16:17-18]

God's concern is LIES that keep mankind from SALVATION that leaves them in "UNBELIEF" (Revelation 21:8)
"Chronological order" of ***CHAPTERS*** won't keep one from SALVATION as much as LIES (((ADDED))) and (((TAUGHT))) from Scriptures to keep one in "UNBELIEF."
Once one is Holy Spirit baptized [John 15:16; Acts 1:5;8] Jesus takes over (Acts 1:2) Who will "guide you into all truth" (John 16:13) which includes putting His Word in "chronological order."
@Harry
Jesus (((DID NOT))) "receive the Holy Spirit in a water baptism" and (((NO ONE))) else does or "He whom GOD HAS SENT the Spirit is given him without measure" (John 3:34) would be A LIE and "Jesus was SENT" (I John 4:9).
Why would God send His Son with LESS than John the Baptist when John was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb (Luke 1:15) but Jesus had to wait until He was water baptized?
GOD sent "the dove" as a sign of approval for "fulfilling all righteousness" (Matt 3:15) of what He had spoken through the Prophets Isaiah (40:3) and Malachi (3:1) and (((NOT))) "to receive the Holy Spirit" since Jesus was teaching doctors and lawyers BY HIS SPIRIT since 12 years old and "the power of the Highest" (Luke 1:35) was His Father and Jesus was "filled with the Holy Ghost from His mother's womb" that even John in his mother's womb "LEAPED" when his mother heard Mary's salutation 1:41
@UNC
GOD tells which ones aren't.

Catholic bible, they are not in chronological order. They rearranged the books so you would not see that the prophecies made by early prophets were already fulfilled by the time Jesus came along. For example, Read Jeremiah and Ezra. In the Catholic bible Ezra comes before Jeremiah. Yet the opening of Ezra says Cyrus of Persia was the messiah that fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah. The Protestant and Jewish order are in chronological order.

Ehhhh....
Bible ***chapters*** are typically arranged in chronological order.
In fact: I can't think of any Bible book that has chapters out of chronological order
with one exception: the beginning of Luke.
At the beginning it employs a topical order.
chap 1 - about John the Baptist's life before his ministry
chap 2 - about Jesus' life before his ministry
chap 3 - about John the Baptist's ministry, including Jesus' baptism, and including a genealogy of Jesus
but after that point it's pretty much chronological.
Sometimes in the Bible
a speaker
or an author
refers back to a past event
but
he is doing so in his "now", which is typically in chronological order.
There are certainly ***passages*** that are not presented in chronological order
but I can't think of any CHAPTER
in a Biblical book
that chronologically predates (in part or in whole) a previous chapter in that same book
other than the ones mentioned in Luke, and they only in a partial sense.
Caveat: I'm excepting Psalms or Proverbs, which books are not a continuous narrative. That is: they don't really have "chapters". They have individual psalms or proverbs, collected in no apparent order, and certainly not intended to be presented in chronological order.
P.S. SO: we see from your additional details that you don't know what the term "chronological order" means.

That is true but being borne along and inspired by Holy Spirit it shows what is in the future as well as being historical and beneficial and true Acts 1;8 Jesus is talking of Gods (His Fathers)Power Luke 11;13 Jesus received Holy Spirit at his baptism from his Father Math3;16-17
Source(s): 2 Peter 1;19-21
