Interesting Bible Factoids

The chapters and verses we often cite really have no biblical meaning. All 66 books are their own separate works, but none were written with chapters much less verses. Just one long work of literature.

So, if you get to heaven and tell Matthew you really appreciate 28:20, you will get a quizzical look.

Chapters and verses were created in the 1200's for easy reference for Christians.
 
Despite what Rome claims, Mary was not a virgin for life. Nor was she without sin.

Contrary to the common misconception, Mary and Joseph had children after Jesus. He had brothers and sisters who were mentioned in the Gospels (Mark 6:3 and Matthew 13:55 -56).
 
The Bible is believed to be the most stolen book every year. This is due in part to them being in almost every hotel room.

The ironic thing? The Gideons, who provide the Bibles to hotels everywhere, do not really consider them stolen. They like when someone takes one of their Bibles and will gladly replace it with another.
 
Most people believe Paul wrote most of the New Testament. And he did write most of the books.

However, word for word, Luke wrote more of the New Testament than Paul (Gospel of Luke, Acts)

When did Paul and Luke come around? They were not part of the 12 original disciples of Jesus correct?

Oh man, you really need to dig into the Book of Acts. Do it with a study guide or listening to TRUSTED commentary! It is the Gospel of Luke, Part2.

It begins with the ascension of Jesus to heaven then takes us thru the growth of the early church. My favorite book. Today anyway. Luke was actually a disciple of Paul (remember that disciple means student). Neither walked with Jesus but walked with those who did. Luke was a physician and apparently a copious note-taker/biographer.

Paul. Wow. So much to say. He was Saul, a Jewish Pharisee who was rounding up and KILLING early Christians! Then he had his moment with Jesus and became Paul. But you'll have to read Acts for the rest of the story.

I googled it too for a quick summary. I'm jumping around in the Bible, I've read some of Acts. I'll dig into it deeper. I think I'll be able to attend a bible study next week at my Pastors house. I have that day off and can get there in time.

I highly recommend reading Genesis and the four gospels then Acts. After that? Bounce around the NT mostly. Use Bible studies to aid you. The OT can be tougher. Often like reading while doing research if you want to really get it.
 
  • Jesus had at least 4 brothers named: James, Joses, Juda (Jude), and Simon as well as sisters (Mark 6:3)(Matthew 13:55-56). James and Jude wrote books of the Bible.)

But Mary remained a virgin here entire life, right Rome?🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
