Jesus is man not God. 1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, For this verse to make any sense, since there is but one God, Jesus cannot be God. The idea that Jesus, the son of God, is in some way God, [...]
We are largely dependent on non-biblical sources for the records of the martyrdoms of twelve. This is not surprising when we consider that most of the NT books were written before 70 AD. Acts 12:2 records the death of James, son of Zebedee, who was executed by Herod. In 2 Tim 4:6 Paul refers to [...]
When was Sodom destroyed?
Mar 10
There are two ways of approaching this question — using biblical chronological information to establish an approximate date for the event, or using whatever archaeological information is available that might suggest a destruction date.

What I will say however, is that there are quite a few very important promises in Genesis. I’ve listed them below. Briefly, they are: The promises God made to Adam & Eve as a result of [...]
More details of question: In reading Exodus and the making of the ark and tabernacle, the Israelites gave more than enough gold and silver jewelry. I’m wondering where did all the gold come from and how did they make jewelry way back then? They were in the desert where did they get the tools/machines to [...]
According to the Jewish historian Josephus the last priest was the unworthy Phannias the son of Samuel, who was killed at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
I assume you are referring to Jude verse 9: Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” This verse in Jude, refers to the incident described in Zechariah 3. The same phrase [...]
Joel 2:17 Let the priests, those who serve the LORD, weep from the vestibule all the way back to the altar. Let them say, “Have pity, O LORD, on your people; please do not turn over your inheritance to be mocked, to become a proverb among the nations. Why should it be said among the [...]
