Explore the fascinating history of the Bible timeline. Discover the events and milestones that have shaped Earth's creation. When was the Bible written? The Christian Bible Timeline and other Timeline alternatives. Do science and religion agree on the timeline of Earth's creation? There is a mystery of Earth's creation. The Bible and other sources suggest the timeline of Earth's creation. The Protestant Bible tells that Earth has existed for 6,000 to 10,000 years. Many scientists, including zoologists and archaeologists, as well as followers of other religions, believe Earth is much older. Consider the following information gathered from the internet and the wisdom of this site's author: There are several ways to interpret the length of "time" in biblical time, which can be confusing. Time is variable and changes depending on many factors. There are references in the Bible where many interpret a day as a thousand years. Occasionally a day could mean a hundred years. Educated biblical scholars sometimes disagree about biblical time. In the past, a day in the Bible was of variable length. In some cases in the Bible, a day means a year. Occasionally a day can be a thousand years or a hundred years long. This could be why it's complicated to calculate when the Earth was created. Some believe the Earth's creation was 6,000 years ago based on the interpretation that a day is a true 24-hour day. However, if a day is a year or a thousand years, then the Bible could be in sync with the scientific view. The scientific community is difficult to discredit, even though we know that many times they are in error. A physical day in the Bible starts at sunset on the first day and ends at sunset on the second day. The third hour is not three hours after sunset. It is not three hours after midnight. The third hour is three hours after sunrise. Over the period of a year, the sun rises earlier or later depending on the season. Just like today, ancient people divided their days into two 12-hour periods. However, the 12 hours were flexible and varied. The first period was 12 hours from sunset to sunup, no matter how many minutes or hours that took. During the second period, the 12 hours start at dawn and finish at dusk, regardless of the minutes or hours it takes. The Biblical hour was not exactly 60 minutes; the modern-day hour is exactly 60 minutes. The hours' length was variable due to the year's seasons, when nights were shorter and days were longer. Summer daytime hours were longer in minutes than the nighttime hours. The winter daytime hours were shorter in minutes than the nighttime hours. The Roman day (the one we use) starts at midnight and ends the following midnight. During ancient Rome, they had variable hour lengths. There are several intriguing things about the calendar and days of the week. Parts of the world, present and past, use the moon to record time. Some use the sun as we do in North America. There are many calendars, including the Julian, Gregorian, Roman-Byzantine, Egyptian, Iranian, Islamic, Jewish, Turko-Mongol, and Western calendars. The Pope's decree in October 1582 removed ten days from the calendar by switching from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. Removing the ten days allowed the calendar to keep the vernal equinox from March 11 to March 21. This was important for the farmers to keep all celebrations consistent with the seasons. Most countries in the modern world use the Gregorian solar calendar, which has 12 months. The time it takes for Earth to orbit the sun (solar year) is approximately 365. 25 days. Every four years, we change the calendar by one day to align the four seasons with the sun's orbit. Most of the Islamic world uses the lunar calendar, which also has 12 months. The time it takes the moon to orbit the Earth (lunar month) is approximately 29.53 days, totaling approximately 354 days a year. A lunar month goes from new moon to new moon. Every few years, a leap month is added to align the seasons with the moon's orbit and keep it in sync with the solar calendar. "Seeing is believing." "Reading is faith." Reading someone's rendition of an event that happened a thousand years ago is difficult to believe if scientific evidence does not support it. Which is correct, someone's recollection or the scientific evidence? In certain instances, neither interpretation might be accurate. So there we have it. There are two ways of looking at the past. Biblical faith refers to believing someone's recollection and interpretation of biblical stories or their scientific approach to discovered facts. Which is correct: faith or science? What is the true interpretation of the past? It's either one or the other, perhaps both, or neither. Everyone knows that eyewitnesses are not 100% dependable. Personal accounts of an event, like faith, sometimes lack proof and can be unreliable. We are all aware that science has occasionally proven to be incorrect. Once upon a time, scientists believed the Earth was the center of the galaxy, and some considered it flat. In fact, there are still some idiots who believe the Earth is flat. Therefore, I have to ask, "How reliable were these people?" Perhaps both scientists and eyewitnesses are reliable to some degree. The reality is that we don't understand or properly interpret either method. The Bible was written over the course of 1500 years. Experts have never decided on the exact years when the ancient manuscripts and biblical scriptures were written. Furthermore, it is not known who the specific authors are for many of the books. The early biblical scriptures and Old Testament writings date from around 1650 BC to 1000 BC. Moses lived between 1500 and 1300 BC. It is true that Moses or his aides wrote the Pentateuch (the first five Bible books). Somehow, Moses was aware of all the events that took place before his time. He most likely learned through traditional oral stories passed down through the generations. Alternatively, it may have been revealed to him by God and the angels on Mount Sinai during the Exodus. Then again, there is evidence that Abraham may have used a written language. It is not known for sure how the Bible stories got to Moses. It could have been generations of storytelling, written media that have long disintegrated, or divine sources. If we believe the story of Noah and the Flood wiping out the planet, everything flows from Noah. The entire mammal world, humans and animals, drowned except the eight in Noah's family and the mammals that God told Noah to take aboard the Ark. It makes sense that all humans descended from Noah and his eight family members. All the animals (land mammals), as well as the human race, are descendants of the Ark. Noah, before the flood, had to have known everything in the Bible up to that time. Did he memorize it or write it down? Perhaps he was ignorant, and God later passed on the history of past times to Moses. However, Moses became aware of the past, and he wrote it all down. Like Noah, Moses had to have been knowledgeable of the entire biblical past from the beginning of God's creation. Moses knew everything from the flood to the Exodus. There is no evidence that this knowledge was in written documents before Moses. Did Noah have manuscripts on the Ark? We don't know. Was the biblical history passed down from generation to generation to Noah? We don't know. Most likely, Adam and Eve orally passed down stories and traditions to Moses through each generation. Another theory is that Moses learned humanity's history during the forty days and nights that he spent on Mount Sinai with God. God and Moses must have talked about something. After spending 40 days and 40 nights with God, Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible. Moses had 40 years to write it while roaming in the desert. However Moses got this information, he wrote about it. If stories were passed down orally, how accurate were the 1600 years of oral tradition from Creation until the Flood? In grade school, the teacher whispered something into the ear of the student near the right side of her desk. The whisper went around the room until it ended up with the last student in it, near the left side of her desk. You know the outcome of this little demonstration. Instead of the dog getting a treat from the youngest boy in the family for doing beneficial tricks, the young boy got a dog from his family because he didn't play tricks on them and was a good boy. There were 22 students in the class. That means there were twenty-two renditions of the story. How many renditions are there in 1600 years of biblical pass-down? One would anticipate an entirely different story than the original after 1600 years of oral transmission. However, the wonderful thing is that the stories never change. Writing documents accurately is one thing. Telling a story orally for 1600 years without variations is something else. Just thought-provoking. When we compare the creation described in the Bible with the scientific explanation of creation, we detect something amiss. Ultimately, one must place their trust in either the Bible or the scientific community. Which is accurate? Maybe neither. However, we must recognize that for the past 100 years, the scientific community has been slowly and continuously proving the accuracy of the Bible. Is science 100% accurate? Surprise! It's not. It turns out that all the scientific dating methods have flaws and are not exact sciences. Many scientific methods disagree with each other and are thousands or even millions of years apart. The scientific explanation of Earth's creation began as a "theory" in the 1800s by one man, a mathematician, whom others bought into. The theory didn't evolve based on scientific evidence but only on "reasoning" to explain Earth's creation using the logic of the day. One geologist bought into it and developed the radiometric dating system. Two geologists in the 1950s bought into the theory and developed a radiocarbon dating system. Since then, many other dating methods have been created using uranium, samarium, potassium-argon, rubidium-strontium, fission track, uranium-thorium, chlorine-36, luminescence, beryllium, and more. It turns out that these dating methods have significant inaccuracies and inconsistencies, with discrepancies spanning millions of years. Sometimes, the scientists tend to interpret their findings with bias. The scientific community uses these dating systems to support their "theory" of a 5-billion-year-old Earth. Scientists cannot agree on a single theory about the Earth's creation. They are still arguing over it. One source is Space.com. Several theories can be found on the internet. The two prominent theories are the core accretion and the disk instability models. The U.S. Geological Survey is the nation's largest biological science and civilian mapping agency. It collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides a scientific understanding of natural resource conditions, issues, and problems. They are the ones who have the authorization to "scientifically" determine the age of the Earth. Here is the direct quote from their web page. "So far, scientists have not found a way to determine the exact age of the Earth." Their website reveals that rocks from other planets determine the Earth's age. Note that the sampling of those rocks is limited and comes from only a few sources. According to the theory, the Earth must be as old as other materials discovered in space. Really? Here is a theoretical story to ponder: Henry Bessemer forged a sheet of steel in 1881. The sheet was stored for future use. In 1981, Ford Motor Company purchased that sheet of steel. Ford created a new prototype vehicle that never went into production. They used this piece of steel, created in 1881 , to manufacture a prototype in 1981 . Don't get ahead of me in this story. In the year 3981, a construction crew excavated a plot of land in Detroit to build a high-rise building. The workers dig up a weird-looking vehicle. They have no idea what it is. They are curious about its age and call in the science crew. The dating system used in the year 3981 is very accurate and precise to the exact year. How old does their dating system say that the vehicle is? Don't get ahead of me. Their dating system indicated that Ford built the vehicle in 1881. This information is totally inaccurate because the vehicle was actually built in 1981. If you haven't already figured out the story, you probably don't believe man walked on the moon either. The dating system calculated the age of the steel. It did not calculate the vehicle's age. Do you see the correlation of this story to Earth's creation? The rocks are older than the planet, just as the metal was older than the car. Another fascinating piece of trivia is that scientists now admit that some moon rocks are older than the Earth. How accurate is the scientific community? As always, in the scientific community, anyone challenging their "golden standard" goes unheard, ridiculed, shunned, laughed at, and denied participation in their club meetings. Pythagoras theorized that the Earth was round. The scientists of the day shunned him for making that statement. The scientist said, "This can't be real." Aristarchus figured out in BC that the Earth revolved around the Sun. This revelation defied the "scientific norm" of the sun rotating around the Earth. The self-righteous scientists of that time responded, "Not true." The scientific community shunned Aristarchus, laughed him out of their meetings, and discredited him. Copernicus went further. He proposed that we are part of a solar system and that all the planets revolve around the sun. It took decades for the scientific community to accept the idea of a solar system. Semmelweis, an obstetrician, published evidence that when doctors washed their hands before examining or treating patients, there was a reduction of illness and mortality. It went against the medical approach at the time. No one believed him. They shunned and discredited him. His hospital proved him correct, but it went against the "accepted" tradition of the medical community of self-righteous doctors. Our human nature was at its peak. And the list of "scientific misinformation" goes on and on until a rogue scientist is brave enough to challenge the "Club." The scientific community (the Club) still has the self-egotistical "We know better than you" and "Don't challenge what we think we know" attitude. If we look, there is evidence available to challenge the scientists. According to the Christian interpretation of the Bible, Earth was formed 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Since then, God has created life and caused the flood, and the world has experienced the rise and fall of Jesus. The Genesis creation story is a viable explanation of the scientific world. Modern "rogue scientists," like those listed above, are going against the egos of the mainstream scientific community but are being proven to be correct in showing that the Bible's creation story is viable. The mainstream scientific community does not want to examine the evidence and admit they are mistaken. As a side note, watch the documentary " Is Genesis History ? " There are also several books out. Scientific Timeline This is the timeline generally accepted by the scientific community and proposed by American geochemists Patterson and Tilton, developed by their dating system for decaying uranium in the 1950s. The timeline assumptions are that scientific radioactivity and carbon dating are accurate. It has since been proven to have flaws. Event that took place. Years ago. Earth was created. 4.4 billion Microbial life is evident. 3.5 billion Oxygen-producing cyanobacteria evolved. 2.4 billion Fungal life was found. 1.5 billion Plant life formed. 800 million Land animals. 600 million Fish came about. 500 million Dinosaurs appeared. 100 million Primates on Earth. 65 million Apes appeared. 8 million Caveman. 4 million Stone tools found. 3 million Fire and cooking. 1.5 million Modern Humans. 800 thousand Oldest pictograph. 5.5 thousand First hieroglyphic. 5.1 thousand Oldest Hebrew Text. 4.3 thousand First Cuneiform. 4.0 thousand Chinese inscription. 3.3 thousand Hebrew manuscripts. 3.2 thousand Earth's timelines of learned individuals and religious organizations vary. Each entity has its own way of calculating, estimating, or determining its beliefs. The length of a day or a year within religions can vary. In some cases, a day can mean a year, and a year can mean a century. Irish physicist and mathematician Lord Kelvin calculated the Earth's age using cooling models to be 20 to 40 million years old. French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, calculated Earth's age based on the cooling effect of iron to be 75,000 years ago. Buddhists believe that the Earth has always existed. It has no beginning or end. Muslim scripturalists believe the Earth was created by God approximately 4 to 5 billion years ago. The Hindu text suggests that Earth was created by Brahma, the secondary creator of the trinity, 4.3 billion years ago. The Christian Bible implies that Earth was created by Yahweh. 6 to 10 thousand years ago. Shintos and Taoists have no particular time. This is a timeline based on the Christian Bible, providing the best estimate of events. Get the complete timeline here. God created Earth. Genesis 1: Year 1 4004 BC Cain killed Abel. Genesis:4 1000 3004 BC Lamech sired Noah at the age of 182. Genesis:5 1056 2948 BC Noah built the Ark when he was 600. Genesis 7 1656 2348 BC All humans on Earth died in a flood except Noah's family of 8 adults. Noah died at age 950. Genesis 9 2006 1998 BC Amram sired Noah at age 65. Exodus:2 2477 1527 BC The Book of Job was written. Job: 1 2504 1500 BC Moses led the Exodus at age 80. Exodus:1 2557 1447 BC The Lord gave the Ten Commandments. Exodus:20 2604 1400 BC Moses died at age 120. Deut:34 2597 1407 BC The Hebrew Bible was created. It consists of 24 parchment scrolls. 3400 400 BC "The Silent Era." It exists between the Old and New Testaments; there was no writing for 400 years. The Septuagint Bible was written. Greek Text. 3974 30 BC Jesus is born. Luke: 2 3945 1 AD Jesus is crucified. Matthew:27 3977 33 AD The last apostle, John, died at 93. According to the Hebrew Scrolls: 4070 66 AD The "Dead Era," or "Betrothal Era," began with the crucifixion of Jesus. Since then, people around the world have been waiting for the return of Jesus. Vulgate Bible Latin Translation. Handwritten. 4386 382 AD The Hebrew Bible—Tanakh. It is finalized and authorized. 4454 450 AD The Catholic Church authorized the Latin Vulgate. 4504 600 AD Latin Vulgate (first printed Bible). This is the first Gutenberg printing. 5359 1455 AD Tyndale Bible This is the first English translation. 5434 1530 AD King James Bible This Bible has become the most popular text. 5515 1611 AD Revised Standard King James Version. 5805 1901 AD Since 1901, hundreds of translations have been created. There are 6,000 years of Earth's biblical history, divided into the first, middle, and last years. During the first 2,500 years, no discoveries of any biblical documents were made. TThe assumption is that all Scripture must have been passed down by oral tradition from Adam and Eve, through the family of Noah, and finally to Moses. Only during the middle 1,500-year period were biblical scriptures and manuscripts physically written down. Moses is believed to have written down all the scripture that was passed down orally. He wrote this history down in manuscripts and codices. These books comprise the first five of the modern Old Testament, known as the Pentateuch. This text is the foundation and source of the Jewish religion. DDuring those 1,500 years in the middle period, there were 400 silent years between the writing of the Old and New Testaments. NNo written documents exist from the silent period. These "silent years" occurred between the writing of Malachi in 430 BC and the Gospel of Luke in 50 AD. Eight men authored the New Testament between 50 AD and 95 AD. During the last 1,500 "dead years," no new written documents have been produced. The mainstream Christian community has produced copies and translations but has not created any new revelations, manuscripts, or documents. Other religions recognize new texts, but the mainstream Christian community is skeptical about their authenticity. The Mormons possess the Book of Mormon, while the Islamic world has the Koran, as two examples. Are they the true revelations from the heavenly maker of the earth and humanity? Believers in those religions believe the books came from God. During those past 1,500 years, since the apostles' deaths, no "new" documented written biblical history has come forth. This belief stems from the "wedding story" that Jesus explained in a parable to his disciples before his crucifixion. The "groom" (Jesus) has left to prepare a "new home" for his "bride" (the believers). The world will be quiet during this "betrothal period" until the day Jesus returns to gather his believers. The specific day is unknown and determined by God. The Bible explicitly states that even Jesus does not know the day of his return. During this betrothal period, we are expected to reconcile ourselves with God. If someday people standing or sitting next to you instantly disappear, and you don't, you need to worry.

Here are answers to many popular religious and Bible questions. What is the Bible? Who wrote the Bible? Where did the Bible come from? The Bible explained. Popular Religious and Popular Bible Questions Here are honest answers to popular Bible questions. Find answers here for a few popular Bible questions. Learn the true Christian Bible facts here. From a Christian perspective, what does love mean? The Bible answers this popular question by stating that love begins with believing in God. The first part of Christian love is believing that sin exists and keeps us apart from God. However, Jesus sacrificed his life to allow us to enter heaven and be with God. Love is realizing that life on Earth is but a vapor in the vastness of eternity. God cares enough about us (His creation) that He wants us to be with Him forever in the hereafter. We are not forced to love God; He wants us to believe in Him and love Him using our free will. Humans were created with the ability to think for ourselves and use free will. God wants us to choose to love him as a personal choice. He would like us to follow a few rules and believe in some things for our well-being. Love does not involve being upset with anyone for any reason. Everyone chooses their lifestyle and how they interact with others. This concept basically means that no two people are the same. Unfortunately, people have differences that create friction between each other. The current best example is the Republican-Democratic elections. Recent Republican-Democratic elections polarized many people. Such anger brought about by politics is not love. Love involves accepting and adapting to whichever side America chooses to take. Love means forgiving and not destroying. Love does not involve getting even or taking revenge. Helping someone less fortunate than yourself is a way to show love. Being kind to others is a significant aspect of demonstrating love. "What is the Bible?" is one of the most frequently asked Bible questions. The standard Christian Bible is a collection of books divided into two main sections. The Old Testament chronicles life before the birth of Christ. The New Testament shares life during and after Christ's birth. Authors inspired by God wrote these books to teach, educate, and provide a way of life that is respectful, healthy, moral, righteous, and honorable. The writers were generally Israelites, and they most certainly believed in God. Many of the authors were in close contact with God through dreams, prayer, and God's intervention in their lives. The Bible reveals God. This is perhaps the best description that answers the popular Bible question, What is the Bible?" God's likes and dislikes are revealed and placed on exhibit for all to see. Books of the Bible have stories of God's behavior and his interaction with the Israelites. The Bible outlines God's commands and codes of behavior and conduct. People live by the Christian guidebook. The Bible explains the purpose of life. The Bible provides a social set of rules for us to follow, enabling us to coexist peacefully. The Bible provides examples of leading a safe and wholesome life. Books of the Bible have stories about those who followed God's rules and the demise of those who disobeyed His commands. Life after death is revealed. The Bible books describe what happens at death and eternal life that is available after death, depending on your belief in God. The available options are going to a terrible place called Hell as a punishment or a wonderful place called Heaven as a reward. Genesis states that God breathed a soul into man, and this soul leaves the physical body and lives after death. Believers will live for an eternity after death in harmony. Unfortunately, for nonbelievers, their souls will be destroyed by God. The first main theme throughout the Bible is that the Earth is God's creation. The Old Testament books consistently reinforce this theme. God created the earth and all its inhabitants for His purpose or glorification. The first humans were conceived as perfect individuals and were placed in paradise (the Garden of Eden) to live. God gave humans the ability to have free will and choose their way of life, however they wanted. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve, the first humans, chose a path of life that was not in line with God's wishes. They committed the first sin. Banished from their paradise, they were forced to live on their own, tainting their relationship with God. All humans born, starting with Adam and Eve, inherit this sinful nature. As a result, God gave humans some rules and commands to live by and a method to make amends for their sin. God accepted amends by the offering of live animal sacrifices. This biblical contract is the first covenant established by God with Adam and Eve. The second main theme throughout the Bible Is that God sent his son to Earth as a substitute sacrifice in place of the animal sacrifices. God's son, Jesus, was sacrificed and died on a wooden cross as payment for all the sins of everyone. This sacrifice applies to all God's believers, past, present, and the future. The New Testament books and the Old Testament Prophecies both confirm this. Believers no longer have to provide animal sacrifices as payment for their sins, as Jesus took the place of those sacrifices. Jesus offered a final sacrifice to atone for all our sins. This theme is the second covenant established by God through Jesus the Messiah. Hebrews 9 The third main theme throughout the Bible is that there is life after death. Life after death occurs for everyone, good and bad, saved and unsaved. What a person believes and does determines whether they go to heaven or hell. The first step to entering heaven is to believe in the existence of God . Secondly, believe that God sent his son, Jesus, to Earth i n human form as the ultimate sacrifice to pay for our sins. Thirdly, it helps to believe in an unseen Divine Spirit that is part of the human makeup. It is our internal path to God through prayer and the ability to know right from wrong. The path to heaven is secured when one becomes a believer. God will let those who believe in the above pray for forgiveness. It is a matter of asking God for entrance into heaven with a prayer. The Holy Spirit will enter like a dove, as it did for Jesus at his baptism. John 3:16 The true test of belief is repentance for one's wrongdoings . We are to stop sinning and do our best to obey the rules and commands in the Bible that God has given us to follow. John 5:14 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves; It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Explore the timeless question, "Is the Bible real, true, and authentic?" Discover compelling insights on this website that show how authentic the Bible is. Is the Bible Real and Can the Bible be Trusted? Is the Christian Bible true and authentic? Is the Bible a work of cultural imagination or is it genuine, authentic, reliable, and inspired by God? Here are some insights on the authenticity and truthfulness of the Bible. The biblical manuscripts are trusted, reliable, and accurately translated from the earliest found documents. The Bible is genuine, and it has the most surviving copies of any ancient writing. Scholars have continuously and extensively scrutinized these texts for variations, corruption, and truths. The fact is that the biblical authors lived hundreds and thousands of years apart from each other. It would be impossible for them to collaborate to create a cultural belief system or the largest scam known to man. These authors have repeated the same content in their writings throughout history. Many lived decades apart and never knew each other. Over half of the prophecies in the Bible have come true, according to estimates. This evidence supports the notion that the authors of the original manuscripts wrote them with divine inspiration. Prophecies in the Bible continue to come true, with the most recent being the war in Israel. It was prophesied right to the month it started. As a side note, the prophetic predictions of the future do not look positive for humanity . The author's motives can be trusted. There are many biblical stories of how God kills, saves, forgives, loves, and shows God's honest reactions. Why would anyone want to give testimony to all these stories unless they thought they were true? There is no evidence suggesting that the stories in the Bible were created for monetary gain, personal ego, or any other ulterior motive. For example: What would be the purpose of including stories about a talking donkey, a large fish transporting someone, and a woman turning into a pillar of salt if they were not true and part of the Bible? Where would there be any gain? Why would anyone write such absurd stories unless they believed they happened? The secular world mocked the authors of these stories and deemed them crazy for writing them. Why would anyone subject themselves to such ridicule unless they had seen or had faith that these biblical stories happened and are factual? The thing to remember is when and by whom these stories were written. A not-so-highly-advanced culture wrote the Bible about a highly advanced creator and his angels. The ancients weren't as sophisticated and technologically intelligent as people of today. They explained things in a way that they could comprehend. It is believed this is why Jesus spoke in parables, so that the listeners could relate to what he was explaining. Is it just a matter of interpretation and understanding? Perhaps a culture lacking a technological background interprets a submarine as a large fish? Is it possible that Elijah took a ride on an aircraft with a fiery exhaust and not a chariot? Think about it! Could non-technical people explain or understand technology that they couldn't comprehend? Is it possible that a woman transformed into an inanimate block of salt? Perhaps she was hit with radiation dust from a nuclear blast and ended up exactly like the Japanese that America bombed in World War II. The Bible chronicles the healing of sick people. Perhaps the medical knowledge of supreme beings such as God, Jesus, and angels is greater than the medical technology of today. Consider how the early Israelites would have explained the use of modern drugs for healing if they had existed back then. Moses performed the miracle of parting the sea. Moses was highly educated, having been brought up and raised by Pharaoh's court. Being a skilled fighter and adept at leadership and combat, he could have easily led thousands of people out of slavery. The area around Egypt would be very familiar to him as he traveled throughout the country performing duties for the pharaoh. Moses would have known where there were watering holes, hills, valleys, places of heavy or light winds, and the water levels in the nearby seas. Perhaps he knew of the perfect place to cross the Red Sea during a low tide when the wind was strong enough to push the water back. Here is another way to interpret the stories in the Bible if you view them scientifically. Examining the Bible stories from a scientific perspective doesn't require faith. Scientists are constantly coming up with archaeological evidence and theories that can substantiate the Bible stories. The 10 plagues that occurred on the Nile in Egypt can be scientifically explained. Science fact-checking the Bible. What did the philosopher Comte state? Comte stated, "It is common that we only believe what we can personally observe . However, it is impossible to live without faith." Everyone in their daily life constantly believes and acts upon facts not seen or explainable. That's the norm. "I didn't see a man walk on the moon, so it didn't happen." This is what some people believe 50 years after it happened. Conspiracy theories provide a compelling narrative, leading some to believe that the moon landings were a Hollywood production. Luckily, this website author doesn't have that problem, as he participated in the moon landings. Therefore, it is easy for me to see how many people do not believe the stories of the Bible. If some individuals question the moon landings (which occurred six times), it may be challenging for them to accept that Jesus turned water into wine. O ne must decide what's real for oneself based on faith, observation, historical writings, or what one's family or best friends tell them. If we don't see it, then it can be difficult for us to believe. That's human nature. Well, this author experienced it, so I believe it. I am now sharing my experience with you. We humans left the face of the earth, traveled in outer space, and walked on the moon six times. I participated in the event when working at NASA. The Apollo program and walking on the moon six times were not a Hollywood production. I hope you can understand and appreciate my experience and believe me. I consider it easy to believe Elijah was taken up into the heavens in a fiery chariot, and you should too. The same should be true of the Bible. Stories in the Bible should be believed. Someone experienced the events, believed they happened, and wrote about them. We should believe them. Are scientists always right, and can they be trusted? The "mainstream" scientific community does not like its theories challenged. The discovery that the Earth is round and that the Sun is the center of the solar system was difficult for early scientists to accept. Kepler and Copernicus, for their belief in that theory, were expelled from the scientific social club. Alfred Wegener proposed that Earth's continents were moving. Between 1912 and 1929, he published evidence based on fossil and rock samples to support his theory. The scientific community categorically rejected Wegener's drift theory. Not until this author's teenage years (1950-1960s) did the theory of Wegener finally become part of mainstream science. People don't believe we landed on the moon. In this case, the scientific community believes it happened. The issue is that the general public doesn't believe it. Go figure. Yep, the general public of today's generation did not experience the moon landings, so they think it was all a hoax. Fortunately for me, I was part of NASA, and I participated in the experience. Your author for this website has no doubts. I am curious as to why it can be challenging for people to accept the truth. One answer is that it goes against what they already believe and were taught. If their father asserted during their upbringing that the world was flat, why would they accept the claims of an unhinged individual asserting it was round? In school, it was taught that water can only be a solid, liquid, or gas. Why should they believe it can be turned into wine? They are skeptical that water can be transformed into wine, as they have not personally observed it. This stems from the adage, "Seeing is believing." I say, the wind's existence doesn't depend on us seeing it. "If God creates perfection, why is the Earth tilted on its axis, and why isn't there one landmass?" The problem most of us humans have, as noted by Comte, is that we must see to believe. How do we know that God didn't deliberately create the Earth with a tilted axis? It is possible that the tilting of Earth's axis occurred after God's creation due to an astronomical phenomenon. For instance, a massive meteor did smash into the Earth in the Gulf of Mexico. During Noah's flood, the Earth experienced a significant upheaval. Just maybe! Are you with me? The moon is out there tugging and pulling, and scientists (God bless them) believe it was formed after Earth's creation. Scientists have revealed facts and evidence that demonstrate the Earth's axis is perfect. One theory suggests that the moon was either created or placed in orbit after Earth's formation, which caused the planet's tilt. Another theory suggests that a large piece of space junk struck Earth in the Gulf, causing the Earth to tilt off its axis. The meteor hit the Gulf of Mexico and the surrounding Mexican landmass. The impact from the meteor could have been severe enough to cause a worldwide flood. This collision shook the Earth's mantle with enough force to divide the landmass into two pieces. Photographs of Earth, various globes, and views from space depict this phenomenon. Furthermore, the ashes released into the atmosphere may have contributed to the extinction of dinosaurs and many mammals on Earth. This theory receives support from non-biblical writers, physical evidence, and recent discoveries. According to the Bible's creation theory, a perfect Earth was created, and current scientific theories support the idea that the Earth was originally perfect before being altered by external forces. I can speculate on several theories. Think about this one. God could have deliberately sent the asteroid to hit the Earth to cause its extinction. The asteroid could have already been on its way to Earth, and God may have given Noah a warning along with instructions to prepare for it. God would have warned Noah to build the boat and secure the hatches to protect humanity and the animals from the devastation caused by the incoming asteroid. It is reasonable to believe in either scenario. Yes, scientists are often wrong and can be self-righteous in their attitudes. Therefore, we cannot always trust scientists' claims. Can the Bible be trusted? Yes, it can. The truth is that self-righteous scientists who do not believe will eventually recognize the truths that contradict their own beliefs. Truths that support the Bible's creation and events will also eventually be recognized and believed. As humans, we lack faith in what others tell us; we need to experience it ourselves. More to the point, we lack faith in the ancient manuscripts because they weren't written in our time. This means that the events might have happened and might be real, true, or authentic. Someone wrote about them and believed what they wrote, so we should consider the stories real. The point is, if things seem unbelievable, they might still be plausible. Just because we don't believe in something doesn't mean it does not exist. It's just possible that we lack the understanding, and most importantly, we lack faith . It took quite a while before doctors believed that germs entered open wounds and caused infections. Why is it so hard to believe in Bible miracles? Did Moses part the sea? Should we doubt that the Bible is authentic and true just because we weren't there to witness the events? What reasons might we have for questioning what they wrote? Someone witnessed it and wrote about it. Might we, like mainstream scientists, be overlooking the events in the Bible due to a lack of understanding? The problem is that modern-day people were not there to see Moses part the sea. Therefore, it cannot be believed that it happened. Since there is no rational explanation for how it could have happened, we conclude that it didn't happen. It's just like those who didn't see the landing on the moon. Many believe it didn't happen. Some believe it was a Hollywood production to fool the public. I know it happened because I participated. I participated in it. I was there. I experienced it. It happened. I participated. I talked about it. I wrote about it. I told people about it. It's not a fabrication or a lie. Why don't you believe me? Because you weren't there. Why don't they believe? Their lack of belief stems from a lack of personal experience, witnessing, or participation. Conspiracists with a private agenda often refute what they disbelieve and develop convincing theories. There are some great, convincing videos available that can convince a person that we did not land on the moon. When scientifically analyzed, these videos can be debunked, but the non-believers can't comprehend the truth. As a general in a popular movie said, "You want the truth; you can't handle the truth." The same goes for the Bible. People still don't believe the moon landing happened, nor do they believe in my story about participating in it. It is the same with the Bible. Moses may write tirelessly and recount his story repeatedly, yet he will not be believed. Unfortunately, there are many things we don't understand or don't see. As a result, we humans tend to be selective and may not accept the truth but believe the conspirators. Here are a few events that modern people believe did not happen despite the evidence. 1. The Holocaust of the Germans murdering millions of Jews never occurred. 2. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 3. The Apollo moon landings never happened, and all seven landings were Hollywood deceptions. 4. Several off-the-wall theories about the September 11th attack totally ignore thousands of feet of film footage. 5. The Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre did not occur and was orchestrated for media attention. 6. Patty Hearst was not kidnapped. 7. Amelia Earhart was not lost at sea. 8. Elvis is still alive. Here are a few things that modern people believe to be true, but they are not true. 1. It was Columbus who established the roundness of the world. Nope. Scientists of that era already understood that the Earth was round. The sailors at the time were aware of this and navigated with it. 2. The witches in Salem were burned at the stake. Nope. They were hanged. (19 of them.) 3. Napoleon Bonaparte was short. Nope. He was of average size. 4. Thanksgiving feast with Indians and Pilgrims. This did not occur. The pilgrims were firing their guns, celebrating a good harvest, and the Indians arrived to see what the commotion was. It was not a congenial meeting, and it was actually the start of the animosity between the Europeans and the Native Americans. 5. Nero did not fiddle while Rome burned. Fiddles had not been invented yet, and Nero was not even in Rome at the time. 6. The story of George Washington and the cherry tree is a fabrication. This was made up by Mason Locke Weems, a minister and bookseller, in 1806. What's my point? If you can't see my point, you will never believe the Bible stories. We won't believe in the truth unless we experience it for ourselves. However, we will believe in a good false story if we didn't experience it. What about the authors who wrote the Bible? The New Testament was written by disciples who personally knew Jesus. They lived the experience. Paul believed that “all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” Before being converted, Paul hunted down, persecuted, arrested, and often murdered the disciples of Jesus. Paul had a divine intervention with a heavenly spirit and converted to believe in Jesus. He believed that the spirit was Jesus. Paul became one of the most faithful followers of Jesus. Jesus changed his name from Saul to Paul. Why did Paul's life undergo a dramatic change? This abrupt shift was due to his realization that Jesus was truly authentic. Is it reasonable to believe that Saul suddenly joined some "elaborate hoax" and "big landing on the moon conspiracy" of lies and deception? Is it really a hoax that, after despising the Christian movement and overseeing the murder of believers, he became a disciple? Hardly! Most of the New Testament authors were, in some way, cruelly executed. Why? Disciples and apostles of Christ stuck to their beliefs; why would they if they were not true? Deliberately facing persecution, ridicule, and certain death, they would only stick to their beliefs if they were true. The outcome of their belief allows them to suffer gruesome deaths. The religious authorities stoned Stephen to death. Peter was crucified upside down. Andrew was tied to an "X" instead of nailed to a "T" cross for that "extra bit" of painful punishment. John the Baptist was beheaded. The apostles maintained their belief in Jesus to the end. Why? There is a long list of martyrs who held to the truth. These disciples must have believed in God or witnessed the testimony of Jesus. The apostles witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus and His resurrection from the dead. Is it reasonable to assume that dozens of these men conspired and made up such unbelievable stories? I think not! They wouldn't have joined a biblical conspiracy only to face persecution and execution. The disciples' support for a 2,000-year-old tale is illogical. Is this how people behave in real life? Do people give up their lives for a lie? Any experienced interrogator will tell you that people generally won't give up their lives for a lie. Remaining silent is virtually against human nature. People will be quiet about saving themselves unless pressured. Once they experience sufficient pressure, they begin to speak freely. History has shown that under the stress of interrogation, eventually the truth will come out , even from the toughest resistor. Guantanamo Bay interrogations have provided evidence of this belief since 1903. These early "Christians" stuck to their beliefs until their dying breath. Why? They believed in the truth. Other non-Biblical authoritative and respected philosophers wrote about Biblical happenings. Many early writers have conferred or corroborated information in the Bible. They referred to events, places, and characters in the Bible. These writers are well-known, respected, and popular historians, such as Aristotle, Plato, Homer, and Socrates. In the mix are secular writers like Pliny, Herodotus, Josephus, Flavius, Caesar, Euripides, and Tacitus. There were Christian writers such as Augustine, Julian, Origen, Isidore, Quodvultdeus, Evagrius, Justin, Cyprian, Paulinus, Tertullian, Clement, and Julianus Pomerius, to name a few more. All these famous, reliable, honest, and trustworthy writers have authenticated many of the Bible stories and the existence of Jesus. Why don't we believe what the historians tell us? Archaeologists continue to discover biblical evidence of items, places, and names referenced in the Bible. It would fill a tome to describe everything found in the past 100 years. Why don't we believe what the archaeologists tell us? Here are a few discoveries made recently: Places discovered that validate the contents and truth of the Bible. Researchers have discovered an elaborate building next to the temple. It is estimated that the building was shaken to pieces around 33 AD by an earthquake. The Bible refers to this. Could the earthquake be a coincidence, or did it actually occur? Maybe it is; maybe it's not. The walls of Jericho have been excavated. Kiriath Yearim has been discovered, which the Bible mentions several times. This is where the Ark of the Covenant resided. (1 Samuel 7:1–2). The synagogue at Magdala, home of Mary Magdalene, has been found. Researchers have discovered over a dozen early Jewish temples. Researchers believe they have discovered a palace that belonged to King Manasseh, the ruler of 2 Kings 21. Researchers have discovered King Ahab's royal palace in the Middle East. Researchers have discovered the ancient location of the Jewish Tabernacle, Tel Shiloh, and the Holy Ark. In the Iraqi city of Mosul (aka Nineveh), the tomb of the prophet Jonah has been found. Herod's living quarters and seaside complex have been discovered. Genesis 36:31 states that there were kings in Edom before any Israelite king. Excavations have proven all this, proving the Bible's truth. The list goes on; googling the internet reveals thousands of pieces of biblical evidence. Things found that prove the truth, validity, and authority of the Bible. Crucified bodies have been discovered. The discovery gives proof that crucifixions were common in those days. Large skeletons have been unearthed. The Bible tells of giants. Remember Goliath? Buried chariots in the Red Sea were discovered, where Moses could have led the Israelites across. Many ancient scrolls exist that repeat many of the Bible stories. Someone discovered a jug bearing Gideon's inscriptions. Yes, that's real. A clay seal of a roaring lion dating to the reign of Jeroboam II, who ruled from 788 to 748 BC, has been found. Researchers have discovered royal seals belonging to Adonijah, Natan-Malech, and the governor of Jerusalem. 2 Kings 23:8 mentions them. The nameplate for Pontius Pilate was discovered. The plate is like one that is placed on a door or desk. A monument discovered in a farmer's field has the names of people from the Bible inscribed on it. Archeologists have uncovered a pillar with an inscription about Jerusalem . Semitic writing on limestone created during the time of Moses has been discovered. According to the evidence, writing with an alphabet existed during the time of Moses. Moses may have penned the first five books, given the absence of any prior writings. Archeologists have uncovered a mosaic depicting Jesus feeding the multitude with fish and bread. This mosaic was discovered just south of the location where the event took place. DNA from skeletons excavated at the Philistine city of Ashkelon in Israel contains European ancestry. This finding confirms the biblical account of the intermingling of the Jewish and Philistine communities. Here is an excellent website that confirms Bible archaeology finds. biblearchaeologyreport.com This site offers an overview of biblical archaeology. https://probe.org/biblical-archaeology The article highlights ten crucial discoveries in biblical archaeology. crossway.org Six findings prove the Bible. beliefnet.com Is archaeology proving the Bible? newsweek.com Read about Biblical Archaeology’s Top 10 Discoveries of 2021. christianitytoday.com There are many biblical archaeological discoveries; one must Google for themselves. Discover that the Bible's contents are real. The evidence is available for those who seek it. Why do we trust copies of non-biblical books but not the Bible books? The list of biblical findings is endless. One must search the Internet for "proof of the Bible" for oneself. There is a lot of information available. A book's age or copying does not diminish its authority or credibility. Researchers have found several copies of the Book of Daniel and the Book of Isaiah. These copies, each written at least 500 years apart, share identical stories. This gives credence to the fact that the scriptures have been consistently copied without change for half a millennium. After years of copying these two scriptures over and over, copies written 500 years apart are identical. This evidence demonstrates the accurate reproduction of the Bible from generation to generation. The scribes were meticulous when making copies of the Holy Scriptures and ensuring their accuracy. Could there be any reason to question the authority of the Bible? Researchers found over 5,000 copies of ancient Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Over ten thousand copies of the Bible written in other ancient languages have been discovered. All of these copies agree with each other in content. These fragmented copies date as far back as thirty years after the originals. We have proven all these scriptures to be authentic copies of each other. The question stands: why should there be doubt about the Bible's truth, authenticity, accuracy, and legitimacy?

There are many intriguing and fascinating Bible people and famous characters. Learn the stories of the biblical personalities. Popular Bible People and Bible Characters Discover fascinating and captivating facts and trivia about Bible persons. Here are Bible trivia, truth, facts, and information about Bible characters. Links to more information about a particular Bible Character are underlined. Jesus, the Son of God. The most popular Bible person is Jesus the Messiah, often referred to as Jesus Christ. However, the person being referred to is not Jesus Christ. Actually, it's "Jesus the Christ." Christ is a title, not a name. Other titles for Jesus are Messiah, Lamb of God, Anointed One, Lord, and Master. His names are Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, and Jesus, Son of Joseph. The title of Christ comes from the Greek text χριστός and is translated as chrīstós , meaning the "anointed one." The native language of Jesus was Aramaic with a Galilean accent. Jesus would also have spoken Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, as these were languages spoken in temples, synagogues, politics, and economic trade during His time. Jesus would have encountered and spoken in these languages. Jesus would have conversed in these languages. Was Jesus always liked? The truth is that towns literally and physically threw Jesus out on several occasions. On one occasion, Jesus read a scroll and spoke at a synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth. The members of the synagogue did not like what Jesus said. They took Jesus by force up to the brow of a hill and were going to throw him over the cliff. However, before they could push him over, Jesus just turned and walked away through the crowd. Luke 4:20-29 At a nearby graveyard, many bodies were resurrected at the moment of Jesus' death. The earth's tremors cracked open many tombs and graves as Jesus died. Those exposed immediately rose from the dead and entered Jerusalem for all to see. Matthew 27:45-56 Let's begin with some Bible trivia about Jesus' miracle of raising a young girl from the dead. Jairus was a synagogue leader and begged Jesus to heal his 12-year-old daughter. Luke 8:40-56 A miracle happened at a funeral procession near the gate of the village of Nain. Jesus and the disciples came upon a funeral procession at the gate. They had compassion for the widow and raised her only son from the dead. Luke 7 Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Jesus washed the feet of the disciples at the "Last Supper" as a symbolic gesture. John 13:1-12 Jesus cast out seven demons from Mary Magdalene. Mary was of Jewish culture and from the fishing village of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. She became a devoted follower of Jesus and was present at his crucifixion and burial. Mary traveled with Jesus and was wealthy enough to help support his ministry. She was probably part of the "inner circle" of the closest disciples to Jesus. Mary was the first one to see Jesus after His resurrection. Most likely, she died in 100 AD. Many historians and scholars suggest she may have had an intimate relationship with Jesus. Some suggest they may have been married. The Bible does not support that belief. Luke 8:1-3 Jesus did not walk alone on the water at the Sea of Galilee. His disciples went ahead of him on a boat, while He stayed behind and prayed. Jesus walked on water to reach the boat, which was close to shore. When the disciples saw Jesus in the distance, they thought He was a ghost. Jesus called Peter, and Peter got out of the boat and started walking on water toward Jesus. But Peter got scared and started to sink. Jesus had to save Peter and famously said, "You of little faith." It was quite an event! Matthew 14:22-33 The Bible contains facts about many resurrected individuals. Lazarus, who was Jesus' best friend, is probably the most famous. The family of Lazarus was upset with Jesus because He showed up four days after Lazarus had died. Jesus wept when he saw the sight of Lazarus' grieving family and felt remorse for them. The shortest verse in the Bible is " Jesus wept. " John 11:32-36 There are other ancient sources of facts in the first century AD, besides the Bible, that tell of the existence of Jesus. Tacitus, a Roman historian, wrote about Nero blaming Jesus's followers for burning down the city of Rome. Pliny the Younger, a Roman, speaks of the followers of Jesus and their culture. Josephus, the Jewish historian, wrote about Jesus and James, his brother. The Babylonian Talmud speaks of the crucifixion of Jesus. Lucian of Samosata, a Greek satirist, wrote about the Christians and the crucifixion of their leader, Jesus. Those who wish to Google "Christians" can find the writings of many others. Salvation is through Jesus. Jesus will save you from burning in Hell's eternal fire and allow you to enter the safety of Heaven. The general theme of the Bible supports this prediction over and over again. This message from Jesus is known as the "Good News." The Bible provides us with the truth about how to enter Heaven and avoid Hell. 1. Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23; 10:9-10 2. Realize that sinners are separated from God and go to Hell. Revelation 21:8 3. Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and life in Hell. Romans 5:8 ; John 3:16 4. Recognize your sin in prayer before God and ask for forgiveness. Acts 3:19 5. Turn from your old life to a newer life of following God's instructions and commands. 2 Corinthians 5:17 6. Upon doing the above, receive the free and graceful gift of God's salvation through your faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8 Where or what is Hell? There is some confusion regarding the nature and location of Hell. Many believe hell is on Earth, underground. Others believe it is a metaphysical place in an unknown physical reality. Some believe it to be Hades, a valley in the Middle East. It is now dormant but will be revived. One thing everyone seems to believe is that Hell is a physical place of fire and brimstone that never stops. Sinful people will spend eternity there with their souls, in continuous pain from the heat. Good and Bad Non-believers will spend eternity there with their souls in continuous pain from the heat. Non-believers will be sent there, and their souls will literally be burned up and cease to exist. Hell is an unknown physical place where people spend eternity away from the presence of God. Some believe that the soul "lies at rest in Hell's grave for eternity." Others believe Hell is a temporary place of punishment where purification takes place. Check out these biblical facts about the Bible character Moses. Moses was a Hebrew prophet, teacher, and leader. He is among the most important prophets in Christianity. Moses is called the lawgiver because God physically gave the Ten Commandments to him. He was born in the Land of Goshen and died on Mount Nebo in Jordan. Jochebed was his mother, and Amram was his father. He had an older brother, Aaron , and an older sister, Miriam. Zipporah, a Midianite, was his first wife. The Bible also mentions that he was later married to an unnamed Cushite. His children were Gershom and Eliezer. Moses was saved from certain death. During the time that Moses was born, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. The pharaoh worried that the growing Hebrew population would revolt and seize control. To control the population, Pharaoh ordered the killing of all newborn Hebrew boys. Moses was born several months premature. Jochebed hid her son Moses for several months until it became noticeable that her child was born. She decided to put him in a floating basket and allow him to float down the river in hopes that the royal family would find him and take care of him. The plan worked, as Pharaoh's daughter was bathing in the Nile River when the basket floated by. Moses was three months old when Pharaoh's daughter adopted Moses and raised him as royalty. He was highly educated, a warrior, and a leader among the Egyptians. Moses committed murder. One day, Moses took a walk to where his people (the Hebrews) were working to observe what was going on. He saw a taskmaster beat a slave and became extremely upset. Moses had a quick temper, which was considered one of his flaws. In a fit of anger, Moses killed the Egyptian taskmaster and buried him in the sand. Unfortunately, witnesses saw what he had done. Fearing for his life, Moses quickly departed from Egypt on the lam and ended up in Midian. Upon arriving in Midian, he met a group of young girls tending sheep. The short story is that he ended up marrying Zipporah, one of the girls, and working for her father, Reuel. Exodus 2:11-22 Moses communicated with a burning bush. He had a new life as a sheepherder for Reuel, the father of his wife. Moses was peacefully tending his father-in-law's flock when God arrived. There was a job that God wanted Moses to perform. God appeared as a burning bush at the base of Mount Horeb (the mountain of God) and laid out His plan for Moses. Of course, Moses, being who he was, argued with God. Moses was not interested in God's plan and didn't feel qualified to do what God requested. He argued with God! Can you imagine? Moses didn't want to do what God wanted. Moses made up many excuses, including the fact that he had a speech impediment. God said that Aaron, his brother, would be Moses' spokesperson. After the conversation with God, Moses finally agreed to be His spokesperson. God probably already knew the type of man He was dealing with in Moses. The plan was for Moses to lead the Israelite slaves out of Egypt to the promised land of milk and honey in Canaan. This period was known as the Great Exodus. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and to the borders of the promised land of Canaan. He confronted Pharaoh, who refused to "let thy people go!" Through Moses, God dealt out 10 plagues upon Egypt. The last one was the death of all firstborn males regardless of age. Finally, the Egyptian people revolted against the Pharaoh, and they said, "Let those people go!" The mass of slaves led by Moses reached the Red Sea and encamped there. Pharaoh changed his mind and sent all of his chariots after the slaves to bring them back. Moses spread his arms, causing the Red Sea to part, allowing the slaves to escape through it. The slaves crossed; the Egyptian chariots followed and were in the parted sea, which collapsed and killed them. Some bad things happened during the trek to the promised land of milk and honey in Canaan. The people constantly complained, which ultimately upset God, and God made the Israelites walk around in the desert for 40 years until all the people who complained died off. Korah rebelled against Moses, and God caused the earth to open up and swallow Korah and his followers. Moses' sister, Miriam, challenged Moses for leadership, and God gave her leprosy. She was healed after learning her lesson. Moses frequently became frustrated due to the misbehavior of the Israelites he was leading. He received the two tablets of the Ten Commandments that God gave him. Moses brought them down from the mountain after speaking with God. When he arrived at the encampment, he saw everyone worshiping a golden calf idol. Moses was infuriated and threw the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments to the ground, shattering them. This act was deeply disappointing to God. Moses had to return to the mountain to receive a second set of tablets. I can't imagine that conversation. On another occasion, the Israelites complained about being thirsty. God instructed Moses to go to Hajar Musa, where there would be water. Moses was instructed to speak to the rock there, and it would then release water. Again, Moses' anger got the better of him. When Moses arrived at the rock, he yelled, "Here's your dang water, you miserable unbelievers," and smacked the rock hard with his walking stick. Water gushed forth. Moses was commanded to communicate with the rock, not to strike it in anger. As a result of his anger management issues, God forbade Moses from entering the Promised Land. God allowed Moses to see Canaan from the top of Mount Nebo, but he was not allowed to enter it. Shortly after, Moses died there and was buried somewhere in an unknown spot in the Nebo Valley. Many other Bible figures have intriguing stories to tell. Below are some of the most popular Bible characters. Jonah A messenger of God used a fish for transport. God had a preaching job for Jonah. Jonah did not want to do the job, so Jonah tried to run away from God in a boat to Tarshish in Spain. God caused a massive storm around the boat, forcing Jonah to jump overboard. God sent a big fish after Jonah. The fish swallowed Jonah and carried him to Nineveh. Upon arrival, the fish spat Jonah up on the beach. The fish was most likely a mammal, a whale, not a fish. Read about the story in the Book of Jonah in chapter one. Take this Bible class on Jonah. Balaam In the Bible, an animal talked. Balaam was riding his donkey, and the donkey stopped and spoke to him. A spiritual being was in front of the donkey, blocking the way. The donkey wouldn't move, so Balaam beat the donkey. At that moment, the donkey turned its head and asked Balaam, "What have I done to deserve your beating?" Here are the facts about the talking donkey! Numbers 22:21-39 Stephen These are the facts of the synagogue, which falsely testified against a disciple they disapproved of. Stephen became the first Christian martyr. Jesus chose seven disciples with genuine faith to minister "The Word" to the world. These seven were Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas. The apostles laid hands upon them to sanctify them. Stephen, filled with faith and power, performed numerous miracles and signs among the people. Stephen was very outspoken, more so than the other six. He greatly disturbed those who had religious power. The Bible facts show that elders and scribes approached him, seized him, and brought him to the council. They sentenced Stephen for "speaking blasphemous words" and then stoned him to death in the public area. Read the whole story about Stephen. Acts 6:1-15 Judas The story of Judas tells of a man who "sold out" the Messiah for 30 pieces of silver. Thirty silver pieces was the usual amount paid for the purchase of a slave. This amount was an insult given by the "church authorities," based on what they thought about Jesus. Jesus was only worth the cost of a slave. Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, betrayed Jesus by leading the riotous religious leaders to Him. He was the treasurer of the apostles and may have been motivated by greed. Judas was also from the South and looked upon as an outsider, which he may have resented. At the Last Supper, Jesus identified Judas as a betrayer by dipping bread into a dish and giving it to him. Judas led the hateful and vengeful religious "authorities" and identified Jesus by kissing Him on the cheek. After everything had taken place, Judas regretted his actions and gave the money back to the church leaders. The leaders refused the "blood money" and used it to purchase a potter's field. Judas died afterward in that field. The Bible does not provide clear details about the circumstances of his death. One belief is that tradition states Judas Iscariot was so upset that he hung himself. Matthew 27:3-8 Another belief is that Judas went into a field and exploded, with his guts gushing forth. Perhaps this means he threw up or had a severe case of diarrhea. Acts 1:16-20 Perhaps he hung himself, the rope came loose, he fell to the ground, and God gushed his bowels. Read this analysis of the death of Judas. Elijah A prophet is whisked away into heaven in a fiery chariot. God called Elijah to a pickup site on the other side of the Jordan River and took him alive to Heaven. This was a previous prophecy that came true. All those present at the time knew of this prophecy except Elisha. Elisha learned about the prophecy at the last moment as he accompanied Elijah to the pickup. Elijah, Elisha, and fifty other sons of the prophets gathered at the River Jordan. Elijah parted the river. Elisha and Elijah crossed over to the far side. Fifty people stayed on the near side, watching. The chariot came. As Elijah climbed aboard, he dropped his robe. The river parted open again when his robe struck the water. Elisha picked up the coat and crossed back through the parted water to the near side, meeting with the fifty onlookers. Was it a chariot that took Elijah? 2 Kings 2:1-14 Elijah raised the son of the widow of Zarephath from death. At the gate, Elijah spotted Zarephath and asked her for water. He ended up boarding at her house. Some time later, her son got sick and eventually died. Elijah raised the boy after he died. 1 Kings 17:17-24 Elisha This passage is a little-known piece of Bible trivia about a prophet who caused bears to maul a group of young men. Elijah's apprentice, Elisha, assumed leadership after Elijah's ascension to heaven. A large group of undisciplined teenagers (brats) teased Elisha about his baldness. Elisha could not hold his anger and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Instantly, two female bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the boys. Bears are attacking the children 2 Kings 2:23-25 Elisha raised the son of a Shunammite woman. He had stayed at this woman's home years earlier and prayed for her to have a son. Her son was born, and several years later, the son died. The woman called upon Elisha, and he came and raised the boy from his dead bed. 2 Kings 4:8-37 Elisha resurrected an Israelite man during his funeral, a fascinating piece of Bible trivia. Gravediggers were burying a man when they became startled by invaders. They were scared and wanted to depart as quickly as possible. Hastily, they threw the man's body into a nearby tomb. This tomb belonged to the tomb of Elisha. If you didn't know, Elisha's dead body was lying in the tomb. The dead man immediately came back to life when his body made contact with Elisha's bones. 2 Kings 13:20-21 Paul A fun Bible story recounts how Paul raised a young man during a sermon. Paul was giving a long-winded sermon late into the night. Eutychus was sitting on a windowsill, dozed off, and f ell out of the window to his death below. Paul had to go down and revive the young man. Acts 20:7 Peter Peter resurrected Dorcas of Joppa. Dorcas was a well-known social worker who helped everyone. Peter was also well-known, and he was nearby. The family called Peter to the room where Dorcas lay. Peter raised her from the dead. Acts 9:23-43 J acob He believed he wrestled with God. "Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." This unknown wrestler was unable to win the wrestling match. The wrestler made contact with Jacob's hip, causing it to become dislocated. After the match, the wrestler said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob." When Jacob asked for the stranger's name, the stranger responded, "You have struggled with God and men and won, so your name will be Israel.” Genesis 32:22-31 Samson The feats of Samson are remarkable. Samson didn't like the Philistines. He killed a lion that came from nowhere when he was traveling to visit his soon-to-be Philistine wife. Judges 14:5–9 To celebrate his marriage, Samson killed 30 Philistines, a rather unconventional way to mark the occasion. Judges 14:19 Samson set the tails of foxes on fire, and this action resulted in the burning of t he Philistines' crops. Judges 15:4-6 Because they burned his wife and her father to death, Samson killed the Philistines . Judges 15:7-8 Samson killed 1,000 Philistines with the jaw of a jackass when they came for revenge for the above. Judges 15:14-17 When he found out the good citizens were plotting to kill him, Samson tore down the gates of the city and their posts. Judges 16:1-3 Samson snapped apart 16 bowstrings that Delilah bound him with. Judges 16:6-8 He also snapped apart the strong rope that Delilah bound him with. Judges 10:12 David Was David the one who killed Goliath? 1 Samuel says, Yes. 2 Samuel says, No. Please review these Bible books to make your own decision.

These Bible characters were the twelve original apostles of Jesus. Simon: Peter was a prominent figure in the Bible and served as the leader of the Apostles. He was Andrew's brother and the son of Jonah. Peter had an unknown wife, and Jesus healed his mother-in-law. Simon was also known as Peter or Simon Peter, and he was sometimes referred to as Cephas. His brother Andrew was the first that Jesus called, and Peter was second. Peter was the first disciple to profess Jesus as the Son of God. Perhaps this is why he was considered the senior Apostle and leader of the group. However, despite his faith, Simon Peter denied knowing Jesus three times during the Passion of Christ. Peter was very enthusiastic but also very impatient and impulsive, and was often rash and brash. During the arrest of Jesus, he cut off the ear of one of those who came to get Him. He is considered the "Rock" and the first "Pope" by the Catholic Church. It is believed that Saint Peter started the first two churches, one at Antioch and one in Rome. Tradition states that Peter died upside down on a cross in Rome. Andrew: He was Peter's brother and the son of Jonah. Andrew worked as a fisherman alongside Peter.

John: John's parents were Zebedee and Salome. He was also the brother of James. John was sometimes referred to as the beloved disciple. Jesus found John at the seashore. He is thought to have been a fisherman with his brother James. They most likely worked for their father, who was a fisherman. John is believed to be the only Apostle to die of natural causes and outlived all the other Apostles. James: James' parents were Zebedee and Salome. He was also the brother of John. James was sometimes referred to as James the Elder or James the Great. Jesus referred to John and James as the sons of Thunder. James was believed to be the first Apostle killed as a martyr. Herod had James killed by sword around 44 AD. Philip: He was the fifth one called. Phillip was with Jesus during the feeding of the 5,000. There is some controversy about Philip's life and death. Eusebius, an early church historian, presents background on Phillip. Philip's life is revealed in Wikipedia . Bartholomew: He also went by the name Nathaniel. Tradition holds that they flayed him before beheading him. As with other Apostles, Bartholomew's death is a mystery with several traditional explanations. Bartholomew, as explained by Wikipedia. Matthew: He was a tax collector. Matthew rebuked King Hirtacus for lusting over a young girl. The king had Matthew killed. Thomas: He was the one who saw the resurrected Jesus.

Explore the rich history and significance of biblical Christmas traditions. Discover how Christians view and cherish these timeless traditions. Modern Christian Christmas Traditions How do many Christians view Christmas traditions? Christmas traditions vary in America based on the ethnic backgrounds of families. Here is how this Christian author views the Christmas traditions. Christian Christmas Traditions The Christmas tree. The most popular modern Christian Christmas tradition is the practice of having a Christmas tree. Strangely, the idea of a tree for celebration in the winter started as a pagan tradition. Evergreen trees were associated with everlasting life, representing the eternal life offered by Christ. It was common to celebrate the winter solstice, which occurs around the week of December 25th. Before Christianity became popular, people long used plant life that flourished in the winter as decorations, giving it special meaning. Many ancient people believed that evergreens had special powers to ward off witches, evil spirits, ghosts, demons, and poltergeists. The Germans were the first culture to embrace and start the tradition of using evergreen Christmas trees. They brought the tradition to America in the early 1800s. The Pilgrims outlawed the tradition of tree planting in early America. This practice was viewed as pagan, and the Puritans considered it unholy. The governor actually made it a penal offense to celebrate December 25th. It was also illegal to hang any decorations during the celebration. Many Christian traditions have origins in pagan practices. The tree is a reminder of Jesus' crucifixion. To this Christian author, the tree has come to symbolize life, redemption, and salvation. A Christmas tree is often considered a representation of the cross on which Jesus was crucified. It highlights the sacrifice Jesus made for humanity's sins. Furthermore, it represents spiritual growth and eternal life, reminding believers of their faith and the promise of forgiveness of sin. Paul claims that Jesus' execution took place on a tree. Trees were popular for executions, but in the case of Jesus, Such an event is unlikely. Most likely, the cross was an accurately milled 12" x 12" piece of hand-hewn lumber. Carpentry was a prolific profession during the time of Jesus. Jesus himself was a carpenter. Tradition says the cross is made of dogwood. The Bible does not specify the type of wood, but the common woods of the time were dogwood, gopher, shittim wood, acacia, and cedar, as mentioned in the Bible. Tradition has it that the main support of the crucifixion cross was made of dogwood. Another traditional theory states that his body was held by cypress wood, his feet were held by cedar wood, and his hands were nailed to a crosspiece from the wood of a palm tree. The inscribed plaque was made of wood from an olive tree. Pine trees are the most common with a complete set of needles at Christmas. Using pine trees at Christmas is a natural choice and has been a tradition for many years. A star is placed at the top of the tree. The star is a Christian Christmas tradition that is a reminder of the birth of Jesus, the Savior. The Magi were guided to young Jesus by the bright Star of Bethlehem. Most common stars have five points to represent the Star of Bethlehem. Some stars have three points to represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Other stars have six points representing the symbol of the ancient Hebrew (Jewish) faith. People often place a star at the top of the tree to symbolize one of these traditions. Matthew 2:1-12 An angel is placed at the top of the tree. This Christmas tradition serves as a reminder that it was through an angel that the shepherds received the news of Jesus' birth. Later, angels joined in the celebration of rejoicing at the birth of Jesus after the first angel approached the shepherds. We often place angels atop the Christmas tree as a reminder of their celebration of the birth of Christ. Often, when the tree features a star at its top, people place angels on its branches. Luke 2:8-13 Lights on the Tree. Lights on the tree represent a Christian Christmas tradition that is reminiscent of two historical practices. Lights symbolize the Tabernacle, where God communicated with his people. One or more sacred candlesticks called menorahs lit the tabernacles. The original menorahs appeared like tree branches. Candles were placed on Christmas trees in early traditions. Light bulbs became more popular than candles thanks to Thomas Edison. This author can remember bubbly lights on Christmas trees that resembled candles during his youth. Some cultures still use live candles for tradition. Electric candles were common, but now a string of LED lights is standard. Lights on Christmas trees symbolize that Jesus is the "Light." We call Jesus the Light because without him, we would discover ourselves lost in the darkness of sin. Jesus, the Light, helps sinful people discover their way to salvation and everlasting life. Secular Christmas Tradtions Who is Santa Claus? The character of Santa Claus is based on a real person, but he is not exclusively associated with Christian traditions. He lived during the 4th century in Patara, Turkey, an area in Greece. Santa Claus, a.k.a. Bishop Nicholas of Myra , was very religious and generous. Nicholas was later referred to as Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Sinterklaas, or Saint Nick. The public generally did not see Saint Nick when he performed his good deeds or gave gifts to the underprivileged. Many believe he carried out much of his work in the shadows of darkness to avoid recognition. The giving of gifts. There are several stories of how modern gift-giving started. The strongest belief is that gift-giving at Christmas started to honor Bishop Nicholas , as proposed by Martin Luther. A more common belief is that it comes from the gift-giving of the Magi to the newborn Christ. The Bible instructs us to give to the less fortunate, and what better time than Christmas? A Christian should give gifts with love, showing compassion for others and following the Bible's instructions. Throwing Dear Santa letters into the fireplace. My mother brought this tradition from England when she immigrated to America. This custom is to magically send the letter instantly to the North Pole. The postal system is bypassed to ensure that Santa receives deliveries on time. The tradition of hanging stockings on the fireplace mantel has gained popularity. Hanging stockings by the fireplace mantel became popular because of the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas." The tradition's roots are in the legend of Saint Nicholas, who dropped gold into a poor man's stockings. The stockings were drying by the fireplace, a common place for drying clothes. The practice quickly became a custom of leaving gifts in a central place. A hanging stocking reminds us to lend to those less fortunate than ourselves and to express thanks to God for what we have.
