Interesting Bible Persons and Intriguing Facts about them. Truth, trivia, fact, and information about Bible characters. Learn the facts about the people in the Bible. Jesus the Son of God. It's not Jesus Christ. The fact is, it's Jesus "The " Christ. Christ is a title, not a name. His other titles are Messiah, 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 translated as chrīstós , which means "anointed one" . ​ The native language of Jesus was Aramaic with a Galilean accent. Jesus would also have spoken Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, as they were popular languages in temples, synagogues, politics, and economic trade during His time. Jesus would have been exposed to these languages and spoken them. What language did Jesus speak? Was Jesus always liked? The fact is that Jesus was literally and bodily thrown out of town. 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. The truth is that 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. As Jesus died, the earth shook and cracked open many graves and tombs. Those exposed immediately rose from the dead and went into Jerusalem to be seen by all. Matthew 27 A bit of Bible trivia about Jesus raising a young girl from the dead. Jairus was a synagogue leader and begged Jesus to heal his 12-year-old daughter. Luke 8 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 a 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. Mary most likely died in 100 AD. Many historians and scholars suggest she may have had an intimate relationship with Jesus. No, not sexual! Well, some think they may have been married. The Bible does not support that belief. Luke 8 Jesus did not walk alone on the water at the Sea of Galilee. Jesus sent the disciples ahead of him on a boat while he stayed a while and prayed. The boat was a way out from the shore, so Jesus decided to walk to the boat on the water. The disciples saw him in the distance and thought Jesus was a ghost. Jesus called Peter, and Peter got out of the boat and started walking on water towards Jesus. But Peter got scared and started to sink.Jesus had to save Peter and famously said, "You of little faith." Matthew 14 It was quite an event! Apart from Jesus, there are Bible facts about many other people who were also resurrected. The most famous is probably Lazarus, who was Jesus' best friend. The sight of Lazarus' mourning family moved Jesus to tears. The shortest verse in the Bible. " Jesus Wept . " The family of Lazarus was angry at Jesus because Jesus showed up four days after Lazarus lay dead. John 11:32-36 Other ancient sources of facts in the first century AD, besides the Bible, 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 his brother James. 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. Many others have written about "Christians" and can be found by those who wish to Google it. Salvation 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 over and over. This message from Jesus is known as The Good News. The Bible facts tell how to get to Heaven and stay out of Hell. Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23; 10:9-10 Realize that sinners go to Hell. Revelation 21:8 Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and life in Hell. Romans 5:8 ; John 3:16 Recognize your sin in prayer before God and ask for forgiveness. Acts 3:19 Turn from your old life to a newer life of following God's instructions and commands. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Upon doing so, receive the graceful and free gift of God's salvation through your faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8 Check out these facts and trivia about Moses. Moses was Hebrew and a prophet, teacher, and leader. He is among the most important prophets in Christianity. He was born in the Land of Goshen and died on Mount Nebo in Jordon. Zipporah, a Minianite, was his first wife. The Bible also mentions that he was later married to an unnamed Cushite. His children were Gershom and Eliezer. He had a brother, Aaron , and an older sister, Miriam. Jochebed was his mother and Amram was his father. The Egyptian Pharoh's daughter adopted Moses when he was 3 months old. Moses is called the lawgiver because God physically gave the Ten Commandments to him. ​ Moses was saved from certain death. During the time that Moses was born, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. The Pharoh was concerned about the population growth of the Hebrews and feared that they might one day revolt and take over the country. Pharoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed to keep the population down. Jochebed hid Moses for several months and then decided to put him in a floating basket and allow Moses to float down the river in hopes that the Royal Family would find him and take care of him. The plan worked, as Pharoh's daughter was bathing in the Nile River when the basket floated by. Moses was adopted by the daughter, and grew up and treated as royalty. ​ Moses committed murder. One day Moses took a walk to where his people (Hebrews) were working to see what was going on. He saw a taskmaster beat a slave and Moses got extremely angry. A bad temper was one of Moses' bad traits. Moses killed the Egyptian taskmaster and buried him in the sand. Unfortunately, he was seen doing this. Fearing for his life, Moses went on the lam and left Egpyt, ending 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 talked to a burning bush. ​Moses had a new life as a sheep herder for Reuel, the father of his wife. Moses was tending his father-in-law's flock when God arrived to inform Moses of a job that God wanted Moses to do. God appears as a burning bush at the base of Mount Horeb (the mountain of God) and lays out His plan for Moses. Of course, Moses, being who he was, argued with God. HE ARGUED WITH GOD. Can you imagine? Moses didn't want to do what God wanted. He made up many excuses including the fact that he had a speech impediment. God said that Aaron, his brother, would be Moses' spoke person. Moses finally agrees after the conversation with God. God probably already knew the type of man He was dealing with in Moses. This plan was called The Great Exodus. The plan was for Moses to lead the Israelite slaves out of Egypt to the promised land of milk and honey in Canaan. ​ Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and to the promised land of Canan. Moses confronts Pharoh who refuses to "Let thy people go!). Through Moses, God deals out 10 plagues to Egpyt. The last one is the death of all firstborn males. Finally, the Egyptian people revolted against the Pharoh and he said "Let thy people go!". The mass of slaves led by Moses reached the Red Sea and encamped there. Pharaoh changes his mind and sends all of his chariots after the slaves to bring them back. Moses spreads his arms, the Red Sea parts, and the slaves escape through the parted sea. The slaves make it to the other side, the Egyptian chariots are inside the parted sea, and the water collapses on them and kills them all. Some bad things happened during the trek to the promised land of milk and honey in Canan. 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 up him and his followers. Moses' sister, Miriam, challenged Moses for leadership and God gave her leprosy. She healed after learning her lesson. Moses lost his temper often because of the bad behavior of the Israelites he was leading. Moses received the two tablets of the Ten Commandments that God gave him. He brought them down from the mountain after talking with God. When he arrived at the encampment he saw everyone worshipping a Golden Calf Idol. Mose was infuriated and threw the Ten Commandments that God made to the ground and shattered them. Very displeasing to God. Moses had to trek back up to the mountain for a second copy. Can you imagine? On another occasion, the Israelites complained about being thirsty. God told Moses to go to Hajar Musa. Moses was instructed to talk to a rock and it would pour forth water. Again, Moses' anger got to him. When at the rock he said something like, "Here's your dang water you miserable unbelievers", and smacked the rock hard with his walking stick. He was supposed to talk to it. As a result, God forbade Moses from entering the promised land. God allowed Moses to see Canan from atop Mount Nebo, but not to enter it. Shortly after Moses died there. ​ Jonah A popular belief in Bible trivia is that a big fish transported one of God's messengers. 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 Tarshis in Spain. God caused a great storm around the boat, forcing the sailors to toss Jonah overboard. God sent a big fish after Jonah. The fish swallowed Jonah and carried him to Nineveh. Upon arrival, the fish threw Jonah up on the beach. The fish most likely was a mammal, a whale. 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 Balaam. The donkey saw a spiritual being in front of him. The donkey wouldn't move, so Balaam beat the donkey. The donkey turned his head and asked Balaam, "What have I done that you beat me?". Numbers 22: 21-39 Here are the facts! Steven Here are the facts of the synagogue, which made false witnesses against a disciple they did not like. He became the first Christian martyr. Seven disciples of Jesus, having good faith, were chosen to minister "The Word" to the world. The apostles chose them and laid hands upon them. These seven were Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas. "Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people." So states the Bible. As Stephen was very outspoken, more so than the other six, he was greatly disturbing to the powers that be. The Bible facts show that elders and scribes approached him, seized him, and brought him to the council. He was sentenced for "speaking blasphemous words" and then stoned to death in the public area. Acts 6:1-15 Read the whole story. Judas Facts of a man "selling out" the Messiah for 30 pieces of silver. Thirty pieces of silver were the usual amount of payment for the purchase of a slave. This amount was an insult given by the "church authorities" , based on what they thought about Jesus. He 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. Judas was the treasurer of the small group of the Apostles and was possibly greedy. Judas was also from the South and looked upon as an outsider, which he may have resented. Jesus identified Judas as a betrayer at the Last Supper by dipping bread into a dish and passing it to Judas. Judas led the hateful and vengeful religious "authorities" and identified Jesus by kissing Him on the cheek. After everything took place, Judas regretted his actions and gave the money back to the church leaders. The leaders refused the "blood money" (money they paid) and used it to purchase a potter's field. Judas died afterward in that field. The Bible facts were not clear on how he died. The tradition is that he was so upset that he hung himself. Matthew 27:3-8. Judas went into a field and exploded, with his guts gushing forth. Acts 1:16-20 Perhaps he hung himself, the rope came loose, he fell to the ground, and God gushed his bowels. An analysis of the situation. 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 and took him alive to Heaven. It was a previous prophecy. All those present at the time knew of this prophecy except Elisha. Elisha found out at the last minute and accompanied Elijah to the pickup. Elijah, Elisha, and fifty other sons of the prophets gathered at the River Jordan. Elijah parted the river. Elijah and Elisha crossed over to the far side. The fifty stayed on the near side, watching. The chariot came, Elijah climbed aboard, and his robe dropped, and when it hit the water, it parted the river again. Elisha picked up the coat and crossed back through the parted water to the near side, meeting with the fifty onlookers. 2 Kings 2:1-14 Was it a chariot? The son of Zarephath, the widow, was raised by Elijah. Elijah saw Zarephath at the gate and asked her for water. He ended up boarding at her house. Sometime later, her son got sick. Then he died. Elijah raised the boy after he died. 1 King 17:17-24 Elisha A little-known piece of Bible trivia about a prophet who caused bears to maul a group of young men. 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. Elisha was Elijah's apprentice and took over after Elijah was taken to heaven. 2 Kings 2. Questions answered! Elisha raised the son of a Shunammite woman. Elisha 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 death. 2 Kings 4 Here is an intriguing Bible trivia about an Israelite man who was resurrected during his funeral, by Elisha. The gravediggers of a man they were burying became startled by invaders. They were scared and wanted to get out of there. They hastily threw the man's body into Elisha's nearby tomb. If you didn't know, Elisha was lying in there dead. The man's dead body touched Elisha's bones, and the man was instantly resurrected. 2 Kings 13:20-21 Paul A fun Bible fact tells about Paul raising 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 fell out of the window to his death below. Paul had to go down and bring the young man back to life. Acts 20:7 Peter Dorcas, of Joppa, was resurrected by Peter. Dorcas was a well-known social worker who helped everyone. Peter was also well known and was nearby. The family called Peter to the room where Dorcas lay. He raised her from the dead. Acts 9 Jacob He wrestled with God, so he believed. "Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak." The unknown wrestler could not win the wrestling match, so he touched Jacob's hip and put it out of joint. When Jacob asked for the stranger's name, the stranger responded, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. You have struggled with God and men and won, so your name will be Israel.” Genesis 32:22-31 Samson The feats of Samson. He didn't like the Philistines. He killed a lion that popped out of nowhere while he was traveling to visit his soon-to-be Philistine wife. Judges 14:5–9 He killed 30 Philistines to celebrate his marriage, sort of. Judges 14:19 He set the foxes' tails on fire, which burned up the Philistines' crops. Judges 15:4-6 He killed the Philistines because they burned his wife and her father to death. Judges 15:7-8 He killed 1,000 Philistines with the jaw of a jackass when they came for revenge for the above. Judges 15:14-17 He tore up the gates of the city and their posts when he found out the good citizens were plotting to kill him. Judges 16:1-3 Sampson snapped apart 16 bowstrings that Delilah bound him in. Judges 16:6-8 Sampson snapped apart the strong rope that Delilah bound him to. Judges 10:12 Was David the one who killed Goliath? 1 Samuel says, Yes . 2 Samuel says, No. Read these Bible facts to decide for yourself. How long did the early Biblical forefathers live?

The Modern Christmas Traditions? Christian Christmas Traditions How do Christians view the Christmas Traditions? The Christmas Tree Tradition. Why a Christmas tree? The tree is a reminder of the Crucifixion of Jesus. According to Paul, Jesus hung on a tree. It could have been a tree. Trees are always popular for executions. It is unlikely that a bark-stripped tree trunk was used. Most likely, the cross was an accurately milled 8" x 8" chunk of 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 what kind of wood, but the common woods of the time were Dogwood, Gopher, Shittim wood, Acacia, and Cedar as mentioned in the Bible. Another traditional theory states that his body was held by Cypress wood, his feet held by Ceder wood, and his hands were nailed to a cross piece made from the wood of a Palm tree. The inscribed plaque was made of wood from the Olive tree. Pine trees are the traditional ones used at Christmas because they are most plentiful in full bloom during Christmas. ​​​ A Star at the top of the Tree. The star reminds us that the Magi were guided to young Jesus by the bright Star of Bethlehem . Generally, a star is placed at the top of the tree to signify this. An Angel at the top of the Tree. A single angel represents how the shepherds learned about the birth of Jesus. Some folks hang many angels on the branches of their Christmas tree. This is a reminder that after the initial angel approached the shepherds many angels came and joined in the celebration of rejoicing in the birth. Lights on the Tree. Lights on the tree are a reminder of the Tabernacle , where there was communication with God. The tabernacles were lit by candles using one or more sacred candle sticks known as the Menorah. The original Menorahs appear as being like branches of a tree. In early tradition candles appeared on Christmas trees. Light bulbs became more popular than candles. This author can remember we had bubbly lights that looked like candles. Some cultures still use live candles to keep tradition. It is more common to see electric candles and most often just light bulbs. Who is Santa Claus? The character of Santa Claus is an actual person who lived during the 4th century in Turkey which was part of Greece. Santa Claus, aka Bishop Nicholas , was very religious and generous. He has been called Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Sinterklaas, or Saint Nick. Saint Nick was generally not seen by the public while doing good deeds or giving gifts to the underprivileged. The belief is that he did much of this in the shadows of darkness so as not to be recognized. ​ The giving of Gifts. There are many stories of how modern gift-giving started. The strongest belief is that gift-giving at Christmas was started to honor Bishop Nicholas, as proposed by Martin Luther. The more common belief is that it comes from the gift-giving of the Magi to the newly-born Christ. The Bible instructs us to give to the less fortunate, and what better time than Christmas? t should be with love that gifts are given by a Christian with compassion for others and doing what the Bible instructs. ​

Lost Bible Books with Facts and Bible Trivia Lost scripture and lost books of the Bible. Biblical scripture, manuscripts, and books that are lost and forgotten. Lost books that are not part of the Bible. The original Scripture was manuscripts, codexes, and letters, not books. The early church condemned much of the early Bible Scriptures for various reasons, such as: being written by unknown authors, their writings being unpleasant, not important enough, contrary to their beliefs, and contrary to the majority of other writings. Some scriptures were not well used or copied and were just forgotten about. Many of the lost biblical manuscripts are known about and referenced in other writings. The modern Bible mentions several lost books. Jesus mentions a book. The Lord mentions the Book of Jashar when speaking to Joshua. David, when he is mourning the death of Saul, mentions the Book of Jashar. The Bible mentions half a dozen other biblical books. The modern Bible does not include any of these books, that it mentions itself. The question one should ask is: If these scriptures were good enough to be used by disciples of the past, our forefathers, so to speak, and Jesus himself. Shouldn't those scriptures be good enough for us in modern times? Believers used many of these manuscripts before 1611. Then King James said, "Slim down the Bible" and "Make the Bible smaller to be carried easily." If not for that event in 1611, the Bibles found at the pulpit now, in modern times, might still weigh a ton and be secured down so as not to fall off the pulpit or be carried off. Something to think about! ​ Here is a short list of some of the most known lost manuscripts . ( There are many more. ) Adam and Eve: The two books tell of the conflicts between Adam and Eve and Satan. The Book of Enoch: This explains the origins of demons and Nephilim and why some angels fell from heaven. The Book of Jasher: Joshua 10:13 of the Hebrew Bible mentions this book. The book is completely lost. The Book of Jubilees: It's about instructions Moses got from God and the angels on Mt. Sinai. The Epistle of Paul: A letter from Paul to the Laodiceans. The Epistle of Barnabas: This letter tells how the Jews misinterpreted their laws. The Fourth Book of Maccabees: A woman and her sons are tortured for not denouncing Judaism. The Gospel of Infancy: The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Syriac Infancy Gospel). It concerned the childhood of Jesus. The Gospel of James: The Early Life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Also known as the Protevangelion. The Gospel of Judas: This tells about conversations between Judas and Jesus. The Gospel of Mary: The relationship between Mary and Jesus with specific knowledge given to Mary. The Gospel of Nicodemus: This writing tells about the trial of Jesus and the acts of Pilate. The Gospel of Peter: Peter tells about the crucifixion of Jesus. Blame is laid on Herod instead of Pilate. The Gospel of Phillip: Phillip tells about devotion to the Lord and refers to baptism, anointing, and marriage. The Gospel of Thomas: Hidden words that the living Jesus spoke, as written by Didymos Judas Thomas. ​ Many other significant documents are lost; they could collaborate with biblical events. They were lost at the hands of humans. It has been human nature to destroy. Leaders always tend to order the destruction of things they hate. Wars destroyed many structures, religious artifacts, and biblical writings. Some documents got lost at the whims of those with no appreciation for conserving or saving. Let's not forget those who were "anti-religious" and destroyed religious artifacts. Adolf Hitler is a good example. During WWII, Hitler ordered that all Hebrew Bibles and anything of a religious nature were to be burned. Mary I of England, another one, made Protestantism illegal, killed hundreds of Christians, confiscated their properties, and had their possessions burned. Smithsonian: This is the top ten list of the most important lost religious documents. Wikipedia: It provides a list of lost biblical transcripts. Sacred-Texts.com: A list of lost biblical scripture. ​ "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Physical Bible Facts and Trivia Trivia and Facts about the Physical Bible for your education. Here are fun facts, trivia, and general commentary from this author about the physical Bible. ​​ The consensus is that less than 50% of Americans believe in the Bible. The Bible is an excellent source of information concerning how we should live. It is the authority of the Christian faith, written by divine authority and with divine inspiration. The Bible has other names. The Scriptures. Biblical Canon or The Canon. Word of God. The Book of Truth. Divine Scripture. The "Good" Book. The Gospel(s). Holy Scripture. The Word. The Living Word. Does the Bible include any secret codes? Several people and organizations claim to have found codes hidden in the Bible. Their efforts and the evidence they provided have been debunked and disproved by reputable sources. The answer is that there are no hidden codes in the Bible. The Bible is straightforward; however, it does contain many parables. Parables are meant to bewilder the unbeliever while making sense to the believer. The condenses is that if you are filled with the Holy Spirit you can interpret the parables. The three most important messages of the New Testament and the entire Bible, for that matter, are : 1. We were created by a supreme being we call God. 2. Jesus, the son of God, sacrificed his earthly life to pay for the sins of the believers. 3. The marriage of believers to Jesus occurred at his crucifixion. Jesus is a bridegroom now away to create a new home for His bride (believers) to live in the afterlife. Jesus told his disciples in a parable at the Last Supper that believers are all part of this wedding. Jesus told them that he would return. These are the three most important messages that the Bible reveals to us. The foundational core of Christianity is: Creation . God created humans , Earth, and the Universe. Sin: God's creation is not behaving to his expectations. Death: All humans are destined to die because of sin. Faith. Jesus paid for the sin by dying on the cross, in place, of the sinners. Afterlife. There is an eternal life for those who believe in the above. The fundamentals of Christianity are: Salvation. The death of Jesus paid for our sins. Repentance. A change in our lives from bad to good. Judgment. What we do on Earth is judged by God. Path to heaven. A gift obtained by having faith in God. The Bible explains why we are here and gives us hope for an everlasting afterlife. "Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God, himself, will be with them and be their God. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21: The entire purpose of Jesus is His "sacrifice" for our sins and His return to "rapture" his believers. God's creation is not following the rules. We are sinning and must pay for those sins. This is similar to the same way, a father must have his child pay for the bad things done while growing up. However, God gives us an escape plan to pay for our sins by allowing Jesus to take our place. We don't have to take a beating for our wrongs because Jesus took the ultimate beating and gave his life in our place. God also will allow believers to live forever in a new world. Jesus will return to earth, gather all his believers (dead and alive), place their souls in a spiritual body, and settle them in a new home. The Bible describes this as the "Second Coming" and the "Marriage" . After Jesus was crucified paying for our sins, he came back to life and went to heaven. At that point, Jesus became the husband and all believers became the bride, according to the Bible. Jesus told this to his disciples. He left for heaven to create a new home for us and when that is complete he will come back and gather us up to take us to our new home in our new bodies. ​ There are well over a hundred translations of the Bible into English. This includes all dialects of English, ancient and modern. The complete Bible has been translated into approximately 724 different world languages. Individual portions of the Bible have been translated into over 2,000 different languages. The United Bible Society is a global fellowship of around 150 Bible groups translating, publishing, and distributing the Bible worldwide. Bibles are created from copies of the original Hebrew and Greek texts and translations of translations. Two versions (NIV and KJV) are the most popular and have had the most effort, with scholars working on them to make the most accurate translations. The New King James Version (NKJV) Protestant Bible is perhaps the most popular. The sale of The New International Version (NIV) surpassed King James in recent years. But not necessarily surpassed in general use. The Bible is not a book. The Bible is a bound collection of "individual books" translated from ancient manuscripts.

Before the King James version, three other popular Bibles were written and used. The Great Bible. (published in 1539) The Geneva Bible. (1560) The Bishop's Bible. (1568) King James Charles Stuart, was King James VI of England, aka King James I of Scotland. He was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the great-great-grandson of Henry VII, King of England. He was a converted Christian. James was a writer in his own right and is credited with writing The Book of Common Prayer. He decreed that the Bible be read out loud in church. The Great Bible was the authorized Bible at the time. James decreed that the Bible was to be rewritten and should be the one and only one used. This was mainly due to the Puritan sect of the church having issues with the earlier translations. King James declared the New Bible to be written in the language of the time so that all subjects could read and understand it. The Bible was originally called "The Holy Bible", not the King James Version. That came later. The King James Version included 80 books in total. There are 39 books in the Old Testament. There are 14 books in the Apocrypha. There are 27 books in the New Testament. The short and long of it: The shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35. "Jesus Wept.". The longest verse is Ester 8:9.

The longest word in the Bible is Isaiah 8:1. "Mahershalalhashbaz " Mahershalalhashbaz is a Hebrew name or word meaning "swift are the spoils, speedy is the plunder.". God told Isaiah to name his son this name. The Nano Bible is the smallest known Bible. It is printed on an aluminum disk. The disk is 600 nanometers in diameter and requires an electron microscope to read it. It was taken to the international space station by astronaut Eytan Stibbe. It now resides at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, next to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Technion created the Nano Bible. The biggest known modern Bible weighs over 1000 lbs. It was the creation of Louis Waynai of Texas and was completed in 1930. It currently resides at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.

The first five books of the Old Testament are also called the Pentateuch . The set includes the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The translation of the Pentateuch is a volume of five. Moses has been given credit for writing these books. They are referred to as the Books of the Law as well. The Jewish community calls this section the "Torah" or the "Chumash." . The Torah makes up about one-fourth of the " Tanakh .". The Tanakh is the Jewish Holy Scriptures, aka the Jewish Bible. The Torah is just one section of the Hebrew Bible. The four sections include: the Chumash (the Five Books of Moses), the Neviim (the Prophets), the Treisar (the Minor Prophets), and the Ketuvim (the Writings). The Torah is also one section of the Protestant Bible (the Old Testament). Christians call this section the Pentateuch. The first four books of the New Testament are called the Gospels. The books Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are called the Gospels. The Jewish faith does not recognize the New Testament as true scripture. The Jewish faith also does not accept Jesus as the Messiah. The faithful believe that the Messiah has yet to come. As time moved on, many Jews recognized, of course, that Jesus was the catalyst of the Christian movement. They admit that he was at least a teacher. Forty people have been identified and considered to be the main authors of the Bible. However, there is controversy over this between ancient and modern scholars. Other writers besides the forty have been identified as authors or aids in helping. The authors of many books are unknown. Most of the authors of the Old Testament were Hebrew. Many of the authors of the New Testament were Christian Jews. However; Luke was not. He was a Gentile and a doctor. Credit is given to Luke for writing the Book of Luke and the Book of Acts. The Bible was mostly written in Israel, some in Egypt, and a few in European cities. Many manuscripts were not written during the time they happened. The stories were handed down orally for generations without any particular order. The "Books" of the Bible are not placed in chronological order or by the order of their authors. The books were placed in order of their purpose. Law, history, wisdom, poetry, and prophets are the five groups of the Old Testament. Gospels, History, Epistles, and Prophetic are the four groups of the New Testament. Interesting derivatives of biblical words. The Bible comes from the Greek word "biblia" ; which means "books". Christ comes from the Greek word "khristos" ; which means "the anointed". Lucifer comes from the Latin word "lux ferre" ; which means "light bringing". Amen is derived from the Hebrew word "āmēn" ; which means “certainty,” The Protestant Bible is generally believed to be true and accurate. Many consider the Bible to be the literal word of God. Some believe the writers were full of the Holy Spirit when they wrote. Others believe the Bible is a book authored by inspired believers in God. ​ ​ The Geneva Bible is recognized as the most heralded Bible of its time.

It is considered the most accurate and readable English Bible to date. Translated by more than 100 scholars. The translation was overseen by 15 members of the Committee on Bible Translation. It is translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek texts. Three successive editorial committees translated this version. Biblical scholars, theologians, and English stylists also examined this versio n. Over 500 million copies of the NIV have been sold worldwide since its first printing in 1965. That's about 50 years, equating to an average of 10 million copies sold annually. The King James Version This is the most popular Bible used. Forty-seven translators from six different panel groups translated this version. They were leading biblical scholars in England, and their work was divided between them. Three groups reviewed the Old Testament. Two groups held a review of the New Testament. Only one panel reviewed the Apocrypha. Since its first printing, an estimated 6 billion King James Bibles have been sold. That's 412 years, equating to an average of 15 million copies sold annually. ​ ​ What a blessing to have the Word of God in two of the most accurate and understandable books.

Bible Time Line The timeline of Earth's creation according to the Bible and other sources. The Bible's Timeline of Earth's Creation The protestant Bilble indicates that Earth has existed for 6,000 to 10,00 years. Some scientists, zoologists, archeologists, and other religions have a difference of opinion. ​ Consider the following information gathered from the internet and words from this author: Bible time can be confusing with the length of "time" being argued over. A day in the Bible starts at sunset and ends at sunset the following day. However, the third hour is three hours after sunrise and not three hours after sunset. Days were split into two 12-hour sections, no matter how long the days or nights were. It was 12 hours from sun up to sundown and 12 hours from sundown to sun up. The hours' length was variable due to the year's seasons when nights were shorter or longer than days. Summer day hours were longer (more minutes) than the night hours. The winter day hours were shorter (fewer minutes) than the nighttime hours. The Roman Day (the one we use) starts at midnight and ends the following midnight. During the time of ancient Rome, they had variable hour lengths as well. 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. There are the Julian Calendar, Gregorian Calendar, Roman-Byzantine, Egyptian, Iranian, Islamic, Jewish, Turko-Mongol, and Western calendars. Ten days were lost on the calendar when the Pope decreed to change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in October 1582. The Gregorian sun calendar is used by the modern world in most countries. Most of the Islamic world uses the moon calendar. Removing the ten days allowed the calendar to keep the vernal equinox from March 11 to March 21. In the past, a day in the Bible was of variable length. In some cases in the Bible, a day means a year. In other cases, a day is a thousand years long. Perhaps this is why the Bible has some to believe the Earth's creation was 6,000 years ago, and the scientific community believes Earth was created much further back in time. It is hard to discredit the scientific community. It is much easier to believe that the Bible may not be understood when looking at timelines. "Seeing is believing." "Reading is faith." Reading someone's rendition that an event happened a thousand years ago is hard to believe if physical evidence does not support it. So which is correct, someone's recollection or the physical evidence? In some cases, perhaps neither is being correctly interpreted. In the case of creation, it makes more sense to agree with the science. It is more difficult to believe that a 6,000-year-old story is accurate, understood, and properly translated. So there we have it. There are two ways of looking at the past. Biblical Faith and Scientific Interpretation. Which is correct? Which is the real interpretation? It's one or the other. Science has at times been proven false. Faith, at times, has no proof. Perhaps both are true to some degree. Maybe neither is correct. The reality is that, most likely, it's just that we don't understand either method. The Bible was written over the course of 1500 years. Experts can't decide on the exact years when the ancient manuscripts and Biblical Scriptures were written. Also, it is not known who the specific authors are for some books. The early Biblical Scriptures and Old Testament writings date from around 1650 BC to 1000 BC. Moses lived between 1500 and 1300 BC. Moses or Aides are acknowledged as the authors of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible). Moses somehow was aware of all the things before his time. He most likely learned through traditional, oral stories passed down from generation to generation. Or perhaps it was given to him on Mount Sinai by God and the angels during the Exodus. Then again, there is evidence that written language was used as far back as Abraham. It is not known for sure how the Bible stories got to Moses. If we believe the story of Noah and the Flood wiping out the planet, everything flows from Noah. All people on Earth (and all animals) drowned except the eight in Noah's family and the mammals God told Noah to take aboard the Ark. It is believed that all of humanity is the descendant of Noah and his family, consisting of only eight members. All the animals, as well as the human race, are descendants of the Ark. Noah, like Moses, had to have been knowledgeable of the entire Biblical past from the beginning of God's creation up to the time of the voyage on the Ark. There is no evidence that his knowledge was in written documents. Did he have manuscripts on the Ark? We don't know. It is most probable that all stories and traditions were passed down from Adam and Eve through each generation orally. The assumption is that all Biblical history, knowledge, and traditions were passed down orally to Moses through the ancestry of Noah after the great flood. We can only speculate, as the earliest known written artifact found dates back to 3500 BC. So, the theory is that the creation story would have been passed down orally through the generations of Adam's descendants to Noah, and then from Noah's descendants to Moses, who put them in writing. Noah was born approximately 700 years after the creation of Adam. There would have been at least 700 years of oral pass down from Adam to Noah. The lineage was Adam, Seth, Methuse lah, Lemech, and Noah. Lemech was Noah's father. Methuselah was Noah's grandfather. Seth was Noah's fifth grandfather. Adam was the sixth grandfather. This oral pass-down is believed because no ancient documents were found that were written before the existence of Moses. It is a common belief that written language did not exist before Moses. Another theory is that God told Moses about ancient times, from the time of the Creation to the Exodus, when Moses talked with God and the Angels on Mount Sinai. How are we to know? This is where it takes faith to believe the documents of Moses, to be real, true, and authentic. No matter the method, Moses had to have gotten this information somehow to write about it. If stories were passed down orally, how accurate were the 1600 years of oral tradition from Creation until the Flood? I remember in grade school, the teacher whispered something into the ear of the student near the right side of her desk. She whispered it to the student beside her. The whisper went around the room until it ended up at the last student, in the room near the left side of her desk. Of course, you know the outcome of this little demonstration. Instead of the dog getting a treat from the youngest boy in the family for doing good tricks, the young boy got a dog from his family because he didn't play tricks on his family and was a good boy. There were 22 students in the class. That's only twenty-two renditions of the story. How many renditions are there in 1600 years? One would expect an entirely different story after 1600 years of being passed down. But the amazing thing is that the story has not changed. Writing documents accurately is one thing. Telling a story orally for 1600 years without variations is something else. Just thought-provoking. Something is amiss when putting the Bible creation up against the science creation. It always comes down to putting faith in the Bible or the scientific community. Which is real? Maybe neither. However, we must recognize that the scientific community has been slowly but continuously proving the Bible over the past 100 years. Is science 100% accurate? Surprise! It's not. It turns out that all these dating methods have flaws. They are not exact sciences. They do not agree with each other and can be thousands, or in some cases, millions of years, in error or apart from one another. The scientific explanation of Earth's creation started as a "theory" in the 1800s by one man, a mathematician, that 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 it and developed a radiocarbon dating system. Since then, several other dating systems have developed, using uranium, samarium, potassium-argon, rubidium-strontium, fission track, uranium-thorium, chlorine-36, luminescence, beryllium, and others. It turns out that many dating methods have significant inaccuracies and inconsistencies, with discrepancies spanning millions of years. The dating systems are improperly applied. The scientific community uses these dating systems to support their "theory" of a 5-billion-year-old Earth. "Darwin's evolution" nonsense has been disproven and debunked many times over. Scientists cannot agree with a single theory about the Earth's creation. They are still arguing over it. Space.com is one source. There are several theories. You can read about them 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 that have "scientifically" determined 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." When you read their website, you find out that the age of the earth is determined by rocks that are not from this planet. Note that there is a limited sampling of those rocks from a limited number of sources. The theory is that the Earth must be the same age as other materials found in outer space. Really? ​ ​ Here is a theoretical story to ponder: ​ Henry Bessemer created a thin 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 future year of 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 during the year 3981 is very accurate and precise to the exact year. How old does their dating system say that the vehicle is? Are you ahead of me yet? Their dating system showed that the vehicle was built in 1881, not in 1981, when Ford built it. Do you get it? The dating system determined the age of the steel. It did not determine the age of the vehicle. Do you see the correlation of this story to Earth's creation? The rocks are older than the planet they created. Another interesting piece of trivia is that some moon rocks are older than the Earth. ​ ​ How accurate is the scienetific community. As always, with the scientific community, anyone who goes against their "Golden Standard" gets unheard, ridiculed, shunned, and laughed at. Pythagoras theorized that the earth was round. He was shunned by the scientists of the day for making that statement. The scientist said, "This can't be real." Aristarchus figured out in 300 BC that the earth revolved around the sun. This revelation was against the "Scientific Norm" of the sun rotating around the Earth. And they said, "Not true." The scientific community shunned Aristarchus, laughed him out of the meetings, and discredited him. Copernicus went further. He proposed that we are part of the solar system and that all the planets revolve around the sun. It took decades before the scientific community finally accepted it. Semmelweis, an obstetrician, published evidence that when doctors washed their hands before examining or treating patients, there was less illness and mortality. It went against the medical approach at the time. No one believed him. Yet, in his hospital, he was proven correct. Our human nature was at its finest. And the list of "scientific misinformation", goes on and on, until someone is brave enough to challenge it. The scientific community still has the self-egotistical "We know better than you" and "Don't challenge what we think we know" attitude. The evidence is there to challenge the scientists if we look. According to the Christian interpretation of the Bible, Earth was formed 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Since then, life was created, the flood happened, and Jesus came and went. 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 creation is. The mainstream scientific community does not want to look at the evidence and admit they are wrong. A side note, watch the documentary " Is Genesis History ? " There are also several books out. Scientific Timeline Timeline of American geochemists Patterson and Tilton, using their dating system: Earth's timeline. Below is all speculation. Different historians and learned people have different timetables. The assumption is that scientific radioactivity and carbon dating are accurate.

There are 6,000 years of Earth's biblical history, divided into the first, middle, and last years. During the first 2,500 years, there has been no discovery of any biblical documents written. The 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. Biblical scripture or manuscripts were only physically written during the middle 1,500-year period. Moses is believed to have written down all this orally passed-down scripture. He wrote this history down in manuscripts and codices. That scripture makes up the first five books of the modern Old Testament and is called the Pentateuch. This is the foundation and source of the Jewish religion. During those middle 1,500 years, there were 400 silent years between the writing of the Old and New Testaments. There is no evidence of documents being written during the years of the silent period. These "silent years" were between Malachi at about 430 BC and Luke at about 50 AD. It is assumed that eight men wrote the entire New Testament between 50 AD and 95 AD. During the last 1,500 "dead years," there have not been any newly written documents. Copies and translations have been made, but no new revelations, manuscripts, or documents have been made, according to the mainstream Christian community. Other religions recognize new material, and the mainstream Christian fellowship is skeptical of its authenticity. The Mormons have the Book of Mormon, and the Islamic world has the Koran, to name two. Are they the real truth from the heavenly maker of the earth and humanity? The believers think so. During those past 1,500 years, since the apostles' deaths, no "new" documented written biblical history has come forth. This is because of the "wedding story" Jesus explained to his disciples before his crucifixion. Jesus is the "groom" and has left to go and prepare a "new home" for his "bride" (the believers). All will be quiet during this "betrothal period" until the day Jesus comes back to get his believers. That day is unknown and determined by God. The Bible even states that Jesus does not know the day. During this betrothal intermission, we are to straighten ourselves out with God. If someday people standing or sitting next to you instantly disappear, you need to worry.
