THIS is a Not-For-Profit Bible Information website based upon standard Non-Denominational Protestant Christian Beliefs and God's Word of The Holy Bible. Both Old Testament and New Testament of The Holy Bible are of Importance. It is strictly for information, guidance, and references for our small efforts to teach. [For extended information, See Tab Pages : About The Publisher and The Use of Bible Art plus The Holy Bible - Word of God.]
PLUS, it is for Evangelism, or Spreading The Good News, to anyone who wants to learn the Truth about The Holy Bible, God The Father, Christ Jesus The Son, The Holy Spirit , plus The Trinity, and the evidence of Heaven, Hell, and Eternal Life after death.
THE Publisher prefers to remain individually anonymous because it's not about man, it's about God and His Word in The Holy Bible. Although we are not set up to answer calls, emails, or correspondence, we give references to many great Bible websites that can answer questions such as: GotQuestions.org [See Main Tab Page: Resources & Referrals .]
IT'S not easy to step out of your comfort zone, but God asks His Believers to go out and spread the Word using their individual talents. Jesus only ministered for about 3 1/2 years. Yet today, The Bible and Belief in Jesus is the most shared everywhere in the World because of the original Disciples & Apostles of Jesus who were Witnesses, and the Prophets, plus People everywhere are believing and sharing.
 THE Apostles and Disciples of Jesus gave their lives for their Faith because they were Witnesses. They wouldn't have done so if they weren't absolutely sure. [ See People of The Bible.]
THIS website is set to eventually be 999+ pages because of the many colorful images, and things that are stated briefly, in an outline, are backed up later in detail with many references. It is also designed to address many of the most important questions people have about The Holy Bible.
THIS website Home Page 'Part I' is the Longest Section because it has Most of the Key Information and Guidance in Once place. It also has links to other Resources that can be Reviewed and to Understand why you Can believe that The Holy Bible is the True, Inerrant, and Inspired Word of God. And, again it might be the only page a Vistor review and designed to hopefully encourage interest in exploring further.

THE purpose of this website is to give every individual an accurate picture of God, and Jesus, and The Holy Bible, and for those that don't believe yet, to give Reasons to Believe. 'Part I' of this Home Page is for people that are Skeptics, Atheiests, Agnostics, the Biblically Uninformed, and those that have other Religions or Beliefs. And it's to give information in an easier way to learn with many resources for study so people aren't 'left behind' on Judgment Day. [See Tab Page: Judgment and Eternity.] (See More Purposes for This Website on this page.] < Go To>
IF a person is from another Religion or Belief, they can still keep their family heritage, customs and traditions as long as they don't go against the teachings of the one True God - which is easy. We are no longer under the 'Old Testament Laws' now that Jesus became our Sacrifice for us. We are all created by the one true God and are all equal, as an individual in His eyes, and He desires for all to come to Him as a person, not a group.
|
|
GOD gave Paradise to Adam and Eve and they still sinned, so he gives choice now and in the world allows fallen man. He sent Jesus to redeem all who will believe and allow God to help. We are only here a short time and Heaven is without evil. Hell is a place for unbelievers and for the evil. (See Link:Mathematical Indication for a Real Adam and Eve.)
SOME are angry, or say they don't care, and many have no inner morals to guide them to know good from bad. If you reject God long enough and Denial of The Holy Spirit, which can be the unforgiveable sin and Satan can take over.
|
|
AGAIN, it's your choice as He won't force Himself on you. Just sincerely ask Him and He will guide you to belief. Not everyone will go to Heaven. Everyone is a Sinner and needs a Savior to atone (pay the debt) for their sins in their place. That's why God sent his Son Jesus, The Christ (which means The Annointed One). God wishes for all to come to Him. [ See: 1 Timothy 2:4 ].
BUT He has to be an honest judge and has to be fair in His final judgment. God knows our heart! He has given an easy way to Repent and be Saved. We just must accept The Gift of Jesus. IT can only take one minute. None of us know how long we have before it's too late.
ONCE you receive Salvation, Jesus will send The Holy Spirit to reside in your heart to guide and help you. Then you will find it very easy to believe because God is in your heart. You will slowly grow as a better person in God's eyes, which is called Sanctification. The only unforgiven sin is the denial of The Holy Spirit. You may or may not get a second chance.

IN The Old Testment of The Holy Bible, God introduced The Ten Commandments and the concept of rules of conduct. The Jewish people were selected by God as a special people and He gave them a Covenant Promise. They were also commanded to give a blood sacrifice from their best perfect lamb or animal to atone for their sins.
AS a brief summary, in The New Testament times, God sent Jesus, His Son, The Christ, into the World to be born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph. Mary was a virgin and was told, by The Angel Gabriel, not to fear because her baby will be The Savior and to name Him Jesus. Joseph was also told in a dream so he would know that Mary did not have relations with another and it was a Miracle from God's Plan.
JESUS was sent as the Sacrifice for your sins in your place so you will be acceptable to God, The Father, in Heaven for eternity. Through His 3 1/2 year ministry, Jesus performed hundreds of miracles including curing people from disability and actually raising the dead to life. His many followers, Disciples and Apostles saw these miracles and knew He was The Son of God, just as He said. Jesus knew his work and told them He would die and come back in 3 days.
THERE is no longer a need to offer the blood of a perfect lamb sacrifice, like in The Old Testament Laws. Jesus is the sinless and perfect Lamb of God who took our punishment for us, and we no longer have these Laws. He willingly gave His life on the Cross for us and arose from the dead in 3 days, just as He foretold. He walked amoung the people for 40 days and ascended to heaven to meet His Father in front of over 300 witnesses. He promised to send a helper, The Trinity, and would prepare a place for His believers in Heaven for Eternity.
|
|
AND we can't earn our way to heaven. It's only by sincerely admitting you are a sinner (like everyone else), repenting for your sins, accepting God's Grace, and having Faith that Jesus is your Savior. The Holy Bible is a guideline for how you should strive to live, and contains History and Prophecy for the future, so we know God's Plan. Jesus will come back for his believers. No one knows the date of time, but we are given the signs to watch for. Most of the prophecies have been met and we can see the others in the making.
WE are all uniquely created with our own DNA and there's no one else exactly like you. We are made of atoms. And atoms, even when broken down, are always here in some form. When we die, God can bring together our spiritual soul to be given a new heavenly body, like He did for Jesus.
HE is waiting and will reveal Himself to you in your soul when you sincerely ask. God knows your heart! He is not here to perform miracles for you, as that was already done, and He might not answer your prayers right away, but in His timing. He knows what's best and what you need right now. Yet, He will not deny helping you to believe in Faith and receive Salvation.
THERE is so much information available now to prove to you that there is only one belief that is true and backed up with so much evidence to convince you. Even the Creation of the Universe is becked up by Science, which was really unknown to the Prophets that were inspired by God to write the Scriptures of the Bible. We now can see that it is all fits together.

THE Scriptures of The Holy Bible are the inerrant infallible Word of God, written by select Prophets and Apostles through direct Inpiration by God. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God a may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16.

IT is to give every individual an accurate picture of God, and to help those who believe become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. it's to lead people to Salvation and to be Born Again through the Gift of Jesus. You can still keep your family and heritage traditions as long as you honor the One True God and through faith have accepted the Gift of Jesus and have truly humbly received Forgiveness and The Holy Spirit. [See Tab Page: First Step - Understand the Need.]
MUCH basic information is provided on this Home Page as a brief outline. God has provided an abundance of proofs that can help us to believe through sincere faith and also with overwhelming evidence. It is not blind faith, as God will send The Holy Spirit to convict your heart. It may be instant or it may come over time, but you will grow in your faith if it is truly heartfelt.
THE moment you truly repented, humbled yourself, and accept Jesus, you will be saved. God knows your heart! You will be sent The Holy Spirt to reside in your soul. Then you will grow in God's presence through what is called Sanctification.

THERE can only be One Truth! We hope to show you why you can accept this as the best choice through faith or through study if needed. [See Tab Page: What Is Truth? ] We are here on this earth! So there has to be an explaination.
ALL reasons are impossilble to truly understand, as humans, whether you have been taught to believe in the 'Theory of Evolution', the 'Big Bang Theory', or in 'Creation' as detailed by God in The Bible. The universe is huge, it goes on forever, so there are too many questions for mere humans to comprehend right now, no matter what. We just need to follow God's Word or The Holy Bible and believe in Faith. If you are a Believer, you will be sent The Holy Spirit which will guide you and confirm the truth.
IF you haven't thouroughly read the introductory Important information at the top of this page, please review again. Here's one paragraph again. "Great References for the Study of Creation Science are at: The Institute for Creation Research www.ICR.org and their monthly Scientific publication Acts & Facts Magazine . (Note: You can Download and Read Archieves back to Jan 1999 Articles), plus visit 'Reasons to Believe' at www.Reasons.org and read their informative Articles on Science in The Bible and in Creation Evidence.
THE word Christian is a person that believes in Jesus The Christ as The Savior and Son of God. And belief in the Holy Bible as being the Inspired Word of God both Old Testament and New Testament. God chose select People and Prophets to write what He told them through Spirit. They didn't understand much of what they wrote at the time, but Fulfilled Prophecy has come to pass and we can now see. No one has been able to prove the Hol Bible false although many have spent centuries trying.
MANY professionals and skeptics became Christians after uncovering the evidence. [See Tab Pages: Creation Science vs. Evolution Theory, and Prophecies in The Holy Bible, and Old Testament Prophecies by Jesus, plus Some Miracles of Jesus ]

IF you don't yet believe in Jesus as the Son of the One True God, or don't believe in The Holy Bible as the inerrent Word of God, it's important to pause and consider these facts before it's too late. Faith is the key!
IT'S understandable for a person to not want to give up their cultural and family traditions if from another belief. As long as it doesn't go against the word of God, it's acceptable to keep your heritage as long as you find the need.
THERE can only be one truth! All roads do not lead to the same destination. Not all religions or beliefs are correct and they don't lead to the same God.
WE are here on earth and it's all hard to understand as we are mere mortals. Whether you believe in The Big Bang Theory, or Evolutionary Theory or Creation Science, there is just one truth.

IN The Holy Bible, this vast website, plus many reputable sources, you can solidify your beliefs 'later' by future study. There are so many proofs that you will have no doubts. Just all of the hundreds of the Biblical fulfilled prophesies should be enough. All you really need is Faith. If there is proof, then Faith doesn't mean as much to God.
THE Scritures can be enough, and we can see future prophesies being set up just as written. Nothing in the Bible has ever been proven false although hundreds over the centuries have tried and dedicated their lives to doing so. Many have become Christian in the process of this process.
GOD'S Word in the Bible, and Jesus Himself, said all roads do not lead to God,! And the only way is to admit we are sinners, and to ask forgiveness through the belief in Jesus as The Son of God who died for our sins on the cross. Not through works can we earn it, but by Faith and the Grace of God. Everyone is a sinner and Jesus paid our penalty. The Scriptures are explained in detail in this site with hundreds of references.
THE Human Soul is made of Body and Spirit. The Soul continues after Death. Everything on earth is made up of tiny atoms and DNA. Like atoms, matter can transform but do not die. Our souls do not die and God connects our individual souls to our new reserrected body. Jesus was our example when He was ressurected from death after 3 days to a new body that was recognizeable yet different.
WE will be aware of our Eternal destiny as Believers with God in Heaven, or for the Unbelievers, eternity away from God and in the place reserved for Unbelievers which is called Hell with Satan... not a great place to be. Rewards and Punishment will be given according to what we have done while on earth. Not through works, but through our Salvation from The Gift of Jesus and Relationship with the One True God.

IT has been said that there are only two things that last: the Word of God Mark 13:31 and the souls of men. This is because, like God’s Word, the soul is an imperishable thing. That thought should be both sobering and awe-inspiring. Every person you meet is an eternal soul. Every human being who has ever lived is a soul, and all of those souls are still in existence somewhere. The question is, where.
THE souls that reject God’s love are condemned to pay for their own sin, eternally, in hell as there is no purgatory. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in b Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23. "But the souls who acknowledge their own sinfulness and accept God’s gracious gift of forgiveness, will live forever beside still waters with their Shepherd, wanting for nothing." - Psalm 23:2 [See also: What Is The Human Soul? ]
GOD has provided an abundance of proofs that can help us to believe through sincere faith. It is not blind faith as God will send The Holy Spirit to convict your heart. It may be instant or it may come over time, but you will grow in your faith if it is heartfelt. God knows our hearts.
THE Bible alone is instruction and information enough as it is inspired by God. Prophecy, History, plus the Sciences confirm the truth to those that are open through true faith. We can spend the rest of our lives studying Scriptures to reinforce our beliefs so we can share with others.

ntroduction nd Welcome

BELIEFS - Christian Beliefs are based upon the infallable and inherant Words of God in The Holy Bible. The Bible has never been proved wrong - although many have tried over hundred of years. Most Prophecies have been fulfilled, and those in the future can be seen coming soon. To simplify, this is confirmed by:  History Archeology First-hand Witnesses of those that walked with Jesus plus thousands of years of research and much more. See Tab Page: Basic Christian Doctrine.
GOD appointed His Son, the Lord Jesus, as our Savior to be born in Bethlehem to a selected young Jewish woman named Mary. It was a Miracle as she was still a virgin. The Angel Gabriel revealed it to Mary in person and to her betrothed Joseph. in a vivid dream, so he was convinced, beyond doubt, she had not been with a man. And that they were to call His name Jesus who would be the Savior of the World. He told Joseph to marry her as planned and raise Jesus as his son.
 
 
THE birth of Jesus was prophesied long before it happened. See Tab Page: 47 Old Testament Prophecies of coming Messiah. He is the Son of God and was sent from Heaven to be born part human so he could experience and relate to our pains, challenges, and joys. And, most importantly to pay the debt for our sins as our Savior. God, in His wisdom knows we can never be good enough for Heaven ourselves.
YET, Jesus was also God incarnate. See Tab Pages: Jesus in every book of the Bible and Prophecies in The Holy Bible, plus Fulfilled Prophecies of Jesus, Witnesses that Walked with Jesus, and New evidence on The Shroud Turin, and more.
ALSO, God has stated that He has the Old Covenant promise with the Land of Israel, through Abraham in the Old Testament times, that can't be broken. As Christians, we are under the New Covenant. See Tab Page: The Ten Commandments.
The History of Christianity needs to be studied to really understand what was happening in those times as many critics take things out of context. What really happened in The Crusades. Most of the people were not true Christians even though they claimed to be. Evil is in this world and will reign until Jesus comes back and the full plan of God is finalized.

A Salvation Prayer
|
THE Purpose for a Salvation Prayer or A Sinners Prayer is because we are all sinners to different extents – large and small. The Scriptures say that everyone is a sinner after the fall of man, and no one is good enough or can earn a place in Heaven. Even baptism is a symbol of your belief and obedience, but baptism alone won't get you to heaven.
TO be saved, you should humbly realize and admit you are a sinner and sincerely ask forgiveness for your sin, and that you believe that Jesus is the Son of God and is your Savior that died on the cross for your sins. Jesus said He is the only way to Salvation. [He said “ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know me by my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”- John 14:6-7
A following prayer is just an example and expresses the desire to transfer trust to Christ alone for eternal salvation. If its words speak of your own heart’s desire, praying them can be the link that will connect you to God. You can also put it in your own words.
|
|
GOD knows your heart, so don't just say the words and continue to live the way you always have. Be sure you truly are saved as you now want to start to live your life the way Jesus would approve. You will never be alone again. We all fall, but God knows when you are sincerely trying. As you grow in Christ, this is called Sanctification. We are human and will never be perfect.
JESUS was the only perfect Human as He was God Incarnate. (God come down as Man.) He is our example and our Savior who voluntarily died on the cross and whose blood covers our sin. That's why He was sent. In ancient times, the Jewish people were told in the Old Testament to give a blood sacrifice from a perfect lamb to cover their sins. This was setting up the example of a coming Savior, Jesus, whose blood covers all the sins of believers. Jesus is the Lamb of God that is a sacrifice for us.
THERE'S a lot to know to Solidify your Beliefs, but so little you really need to do to be Saved. It will be the best 1 Minute you've ever spent!
|
|
WHAT being 'Born Again' means briefly. It means when you repent for your past sins and sincerely give your life to God and Believe in Jesus so you are Saved. Then you will become a 'New Person'. This may not happen right away as it's usually a slow process.
YOU will 'Change in Nature' like a Butterfly coming out of it's cocoon. You will still have 'Choice' but you won't 'desire' the past Sins.
ALL Humans are Sinners. No one is good enough to be with God in Heaven on their own merit. You can't earn you way. [See Tab Page: What is A Sinner? ]
|
|
|
EVIL is real and everywhere in the world. God allows us to have choice as He doesn't want puppets. He wants our hearts to be sincere and repentant to accept The Gift of Jesus. Not all will go to heaven. In fact, the road is narrow. We can see the state of the world right now and prophecy is coming true.
MANY people believe in Satan but don't believe in God. That really doesn't make sense and shows a mind that is not deeply considering facts. God created Satan, The Great Deceiver, who was Lucifer a fallen angel that wanted to become a god himself and rule the world. His fallen angels followed him. In His wisdom and eternal plan, God has temporally allowed Satan to rule this world. This will weed out the people who love darkness rather than light. God is still over Satan and watches and performs miracles to protect from Satan's power.
THE Bible, Word or God, explains in detal what happens to Satan in the end. God Wins and Satan is thrown into Hell for eternity with those who are his followers and with those that haven't received Jesus as their Savior. We can see the state of the world right now and prophesy is coming true.

THE Godhead is made up of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit commonly called The Trinity. Per The Bible, Lord Jesus actually created the Universe. It's impossible for us a mere humans to understand but someday we will. See Tab Page: The Trinity
GOD created the Universe, the Sky, The Sea, The Earth, Animals, Plants, and Man and put the first humans, Adam and Eve, in Paradise - The Garden of Eden. See scientific proofs by 'later' by going to the See Tab Page: Creation In The Beginning for further study. Even the Mathematical Law of Population Growth shows that Adam and Eve could have lived just over 6,000 years ago, just as written. The Ark was detailed by God and has proven to be correct for the purpose. God sent animals 'of a kind', not all animals, and would have subdued them supernaturally. So even Noah's Ark was accurate for a world wide flood.
|
|
Evolutionary Theory is just a belief with no real proof. Most of the past ideas have been falling apart lately with new scientific discoveries. Many Evolutionists don't want to believe in a God or they are too far into this belief to change. People and animals conform to their current surroundings by developing small changes, but there has never been proof of kinds changing to another kind. God sent animals to the ark by their type. Just one example is in Tab Page: Macroevolution vs. Microevolution.
Creation Science has never been proven wrong although many have tried over hundreds of years. God's word in the Bible confirms what we have found.
MANY examples of The Evidence of God and Creation, besides the Testimony of Reliable Witnesses, are the studies of Evidence. (See Chart Posted Above in 'Part I' with Links to the Articles.)

THE Godhead is made up of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit commonly called The Trinity. Per The Bible, Lord Jesus actually created the Universe. It's impossible for us a mere humans to understand but someday we will.
BECAUSE man and woman sinned against God, all humans are now fallen and are sinners. None is acceptable to be with God in Heaven, not one. " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" _ Romans 3:23
THERE is no way to buy or earn your way to heaven or to be born in a certain faith or status. There is no purgatory either. It is written in the Bible: "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." _ Hebrews 9:27
|
|
WE will all face God in Judgment someday. "Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. "(Hell) _ Revelation 20:15 Since God is a Just God, He can't allow everyone to go to heaven. The Bible tells of different Rewards and Crowns in Heaven so it makes sense that punishment in Hell for Eternity would be based upon the individual but it doesn't say. The most evil would reside in the depths of Hell with Satan for sure. For others, just knowing you are away from the presence of almighty God for eternity, and you made a big mistake by not accepting the gift of Jesus while you could, would be punishment enough in Hell.
THERE is a real Hell or Lake of Fire. Those that deny Jesus will be turned away and spend eternity away from God. The Bible speaks strongly of Hell and the Lake of Fire. We also believe that, since the Bible talks of different Rewards and Crowns for believers, that likely there are different punishments in Hell. The evil will be punished more than the unbelievers. Just the realization of a separation from the true God for eternity is punishment enough. People will be aware that they are banned from God for eternity.
|
| JESUS often taught in parables so people would understand. The Scriptures show we will be aware - whether in Heaven or Hell. One Parable: ' The Rich Man and Lazarus.' "One day the beggar (Lazarus) died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he (the rich man) looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire. 25 But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us." _ Luke 16:22-26 |
|
GOD is Love and wishes that all will come to Him. So He sent His one and only beloved son, Jesus, to come unto the world as our Savior as Christ. He was God incarnatied in Human Form and born to a virgin in Bethlehem and became known to many. He walked among all and gathered many followers, and twelve were His close Disciples. He was the only perfect man and was an example for all.
JESUS taught the Scriptures and performed hundreds of miracles including bringing the dead to life and healing many. He showed Himself to be God and established a relationship with people to give us a closeness with God.
THE rulers and religious men were intimidated by Jesus and plotted to kill Him and to eventually tortured and crucified Him on a cross between two thieves. When He died, the skys went dark and the religious veil in the temple tore in half as a sign that the New Covenant from God is now here to replace the Old Covenant.
|
|
JESUS knew his purpose which was coming into the world and to die for our sins. As a perfect person, He took our punishment in our place. Before Jesus was born, God had the Jewish Believers sacrifice a perfect lamb as a blood offereing for forgiveness of their sins. This was to prepare the understanding that Jesus was now the perfect sacrifice for our sins. He was the Lamb of God. In Bible study, we see that Jesus is inferred in evey book of the Bible.
SO, in order to get to Heaven, we must believe that Jesus died for our sins, and we must sincerely repent our sins and accept His gift of Forgiveness. Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." _ John 14:6
BY accepting Jesus' Gift, you will be Born Again as a new person in Christ. This may be a slow process, but slowly you will notice that you no longer desire the sinful things of the past. This process is called Sanctification.
|
|
GOD says He knew us before we we born. He knows who will come to Him or deny Him. He calls us to Him by His Grace. We are called by The Great Commission to go out into the world and to spread the good news of Jesus. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” _ Matthew 28: 19-20 This is why Missionaries dedicate their lives to teaching about Jesus around the world in obedience.
BEING Baptized is something that God has said we should do. It is the act of being totally immersed in water, or sprinkled with water if you can't be immersed. You go down and come up as a new person in Christ. Even Jesus was Baptized by John The Baptist as an example. Just being Baptized won't get us to heaven, and it's not a requirement to go to heaven, but it's a symbolic sign that you are truly commited to being Born Again and that you believe in Christ Jesus as your Saviour and are obedient. We know this because, on the Cross, one of the thieves (that hadn't been baptized) hung next to Jesus and asked for forgiveness and believed Jesus as God his saviour. Jesus said to the thief: "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” _ Luke 23:43
|
|
HOWEVER, it's important to consider believing by true desire and sincere faith and allow God, through The Holy Spirit to convict your heart of the truth right now if you are willing. There is no reason to wait as it can only take 1 minute. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." _ Jeremiah 29:13
THEN Jesus said: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” _ John 20:29 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." _ Hebrews 11:6
JESUS was pierced with a sword to make sure he was dead. He was taken off the cross and his mother and followers annointed Him, and He was wrapped tightely in burial cloth, per the custom, and was buried in a tomb with a tremendously heavy large rock covering the opening. Two Soldiers were assigned to watch the tomb to make sure no one could access it. Angels rolled away the heavy rock to show that Jesus had risen from the dead and was no longer there. The wrappings that had been around Jesus were still there as He rose from them three days later into a new heavenly body with new Godly clothes. Just as Jesus told His followers, he would rise in 3 days, it happened.

JESUS took on a new but recognizable body and was seen by many. He walked and ate with them and could appear in a room without going through the door. He appeared to the masses for 40 days. This was to show us that this is how our bodies will be in heaven someday and to give us hope.
AFTER 40 days, He ascended into the clouds in front of over 500 to sit at the right hand of God. There were many witnesses from many different cities and that meet the requirements of truth. The Gospels of The New Testament were four of Jesus' closest Disciples: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John who recount their individual witness.

WHEN all of the Prophesies have been met, we are to watch for the signs. A great turmoil will take place on the earth. Jesus left as a Lamb but will come back as a Roaring Lion. "For the Lord (Jesus) himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words." - - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
THE Antichrist (the beast) will come into power and will sign a covenant with Israel for seven years. This seven-year period of time is known as the 'Tribulation.' During the Tribulation, there will be terrible wars, famines, plagues, and natural disasters. God will be pouring out His wrath against sin, evil, and wickedness. The Tribulation will include the appearance of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the seven seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. "He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up a real abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." - Daniel 9:27
|
|
ABOUT halfway through the seven years, the Antichrist will break the peace covenant with Israel and make war against it. The Antichrist will commit “the abomination of desolation” and set up an image of himself to be worshiped in the Jerusalem temple, which will have been rebuilt. The second half of the tribulation is known as “The Great Tribulation”. "Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness a is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God." _ 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
JOHN the Apostle wrote: "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb," 14 "And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." _ Revelation 7: 9,14
ALSO, Apostle John continued: "It (the beast) also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666." _ Revelation 13:16-18
|
|
AT the end of the seven-year Tribulation, the Antichrist will launch a final attack on Jerusalem, culminating in the battle of Armageddon. Jesus Christ will return, destroy the Antichrist and his armies, and cast them into the lake of fire. Christ will then bind Satan in the Abyss for 1,000 years (so evil can't continue) and Jesus will rule His earthly kingdom for this thousand-year period. There will still be those that oppose Jesus and this is a period of cleasing the earth of evil. "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years." _ Revelation 20:1-6
THEN, at the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released to collect his followers, and is defeated again, and then cast into the lake of fire for eternity. Christ then judges all unbelievers at the Great White Throne Judgment, casting them all into the lake of fire. Christ will then usher in a new heaven and new earth and the New Jerusalem - the eternal dwelling place of believers. No more sin, or sorrow, or death. "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,a for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,and He will dwell with them. They will be His people,and God Himself will be with them as their God. 4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,and there will be no more deathor mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.” - Revelation 21:1 4

Jesus said "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"_ Luke 11:9-13
,
"Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."_ John 14:6
,
Jesus said: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." _ Matthew 7:13-14
,
"Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."_ John 14:8-11
,
Jesus said: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."_ John 14:12-14

| NOTE: God may not answer you right away if He has other plans for you, or if you are asking for things that are not of God's Word. He will answer in His time and it will be for your best. When you look back someday, you will see this. Even if you are going through hardships or lost someone you love, just trust in The Lord and give thanks for all things. |

~ More Purposes of this Website ~
|
IT can only take one minute. None of us know how long we have before it's too late.
GOD'S Word in The HolyBible states that evey single person is a sinner whether it is a large or small sin. None can earn the right to be with Holy God in any way except through Jesus and The Holy Spirit given to their hearts through the Grace of God.
JESIS is The Son of God and the 3rd Person of the Godhead. He came to the world to pay the price for our sin, to relate to us as God in human form, and to guide us to understanding through example, teaching and miracles.
THERE is much information to learn but only the desire to be saved and forgiven before it's too late.
MANY types of people are abound and come to the truth in their own way.
THE best way is to immediately be saved by a sincere prayer to be forgiven and to give all to Jesus in faith and love, and to believe He is The Son of God and has the power. God knows our hearts and calls all who have been chosen. The Holy Spirit from God convicts us with the truth.
FAITH is the Key! Anyone can believe what they see with their own eyes and their hearts can still be cold. Satan believes in Jesus. For those of us that seek God, and are called, The Holy Spirit will be sent to live in our souls and you will know.
SOME can desire Truth and can give themselves to Jesus without more proof. This is immediate if sincere. See above example of: 'A SALVATION PRAYER'.
OTHERS need more knowledge to believe and to be convinced. God provides us The Holy Bible / The Word of God so we can continue to grow in the Scriptures. This site is a guide to understanding the Bible and how it relates to the saving gift of Jesus. Jesus, and the prophesy of the coming Jesus, is in every one of the 66 Books of The Holy Bible in The Old and New Testaments. It gives us a roadmap and incite into the end times. This website gives much detailed information on each subject mentioned in the overview, but that's for later study.
IT'S best to see just enough, if you must explore a little, to have Faith and feel an urgency to give it to God and The Holy Spirit. See Tab Pages: [ First Step Understand The Need ], [The Next Step - Being Born Again. Jesus Gift - A Salvation Prayer ], and [ Assurance Of Salvation] .
FOR basic continued learning, it is recommended to first read The Gospels of: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in the New Testament. These Books give the four different perspectives on the life of Lord Jesus from these Disciples. Also, for a very brief overview of The Holy Bible, See Tab Page: [ Brief Overview Of The Holy Bible ] . Then, join a local Protestant Bible Teaching Church to fellowship and continued learning. In this day of the internet, you can learn online.
BE extremely careful in choosing a Church, or listening to others, as there are many false religions that bend the Word of God to fit their personal ideas. It can be hard to differentiate at first. Many are just sadly deceived, but some false churches are out for financial gain. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." [ Matthew 7:15 ]. Once you find a good Bible Teaching Church, don't church hop. Support you local church and be satisfied.
YOU can still keep your native customs and culture, as long as they don't go against God's Word. If you have a different religion upbringing, you can see the light and help bring others to the saving gift of Jesus. It happens all the time all over the world. After being saved, you may not feel different at first, but little-by-little you will grow in Faith and Understanding. This is called the process of Santification. You won't lose your sovereign will but, if truly saved, you won't want your old ways.
THERE can only be one truth! Of all of the hundred of beliefs and religions, some being made up yearly, The Holy Bible and the evidence of God, Jesus, and Creation has be proven infallable. People are born with in innate desire for a God. Hundreds of books on each main religion have been written for study and comparison so you can see the errors in other religions and only The Holy Bible has evidence of the truth. This site has a page of expository exploration in other religions. See Tab Page: [ World Faiths, Religions, & Beliefs. ] This is why it's so important to have missionarys that go into the world and share God's Word in their native languages.
SO even though there is a lot to know to solidify your beliefs, there's so little you really need to do to be saved. It will be the best 1 Minute you've ever spent! Don't wait. People can spend 50 years studying the Bible and still not know everything. Thousands of Books and Commentary Books have been written to help. So save study for after you are Born Again and Saved as it will solidify your belief.
EVIDENCE to validate every word of the Holy Bible is overwhelming. It is not fictional and God has given all we need to be convinced. The many chapters pages of this website will go into depth of the Bible to convince anyone open to the truth. God says he will blind the hearts of those who don't seek with an open minds. See John 12:40 Everyone subliminally knows there is a God. The evidence is all around us. In fact, the Creator designed the universe so that His many invisible attributes would be clearly seen in the things He made, so that we are without excuse. See: Romans 1:20 .
WE are here on earth. That's a Fact! Every explanation of how we got here is hard to believe with our limited human understanding. A supernatural Creator is really the only viable belief that is backed up by Evidence and Facts from The infallable Holy Bible, including hundreds of Prophecies fulfilled without Error - along with the Sciences. God and His Holy Scriptures have never been proven false - although hundreds have tried for over 4,500 years.
OTHER explanations of how we got here, including Evolutionary Theory, which has severe problems and most of the main concepts are being debunked on a regular basis, and it remains only a Theory that man originally made to deny a creator. It's sad that it is still taught in schools as fact which could be from past political beliefs. See Tab Page: Macroevolution vs. Microevolution as an example. For expansive study, PlusTab Page: Creation - In The Beginning for many scientific examples.
EVEN the story of Adam & Eve can be tracked mathematically to show exact possibility based on the populaton growth over 5,000 years. And, in the Bible, God has listed the exact requirements and measurements of Noah's Ark which has been shown to be nautically what would have been needed to withstand the global flood. He sent the animal kinds to the ark and gave them a peaceful spirit while on the Ark. Not every bug, or animal was sent, just the kinds within their creation. More information on these subjects are available in this site. With God, all things are possible, and evidence proves it.
WE can start to conceive of the earth and universe and Creation versus Evolution by looking at the Biblical Evidence. So we must allow The Holy Spirt to convict our hearts. The Theory of Evolution is only hypothetical, has no evidence, and made up by man to explain away God. However, Creation Science and a young earth has overwhelming evidence in areas of History, Archaeology, Geology, Hydrology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, Astophysics, Biology, Climatology and The Global Flood to the Ice Age. Plus much more, including the Law of Probability and Statistics.
PLUS, first hand accounts of credible people of the Bible who witnessed events and have no alternative motive and within the acceptable timeframe and parameters of memory are listed. Also, the accounts of Jesus were from many lands and languages, yet they were basically in agreeement. The disciples of Jesus had no alternative motive as, by admitting the truth, it actually put them in danger and eventually lead to their death.
SOME are searching for proof first before they decide to be saved or they are Agnostic. Some are simply Athiest. Some are even followers of Satan (who was a fallen angel created by God). You are given a choice. This type of attitude is not really from the heart of love and desire to know God. Jesus performed hundreds of miracles, including rising from the dead, and yet some still didn't believe. Those souls were hard and lost. The only way to lose salvation is the Denial of The Holy Spirit.

WE don't know how much time we have left.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit:
 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be c in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” -- John 14:15-21

About The Holy Bible
Is the Bible the Inspired Word of God?
During a question and answer session at a recent speaking engagement, a university student asked me, "Why do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?"
Now this is a very interesting question, and probably one of the most important questions any Christian could ask themselves. What is so special, so unique about the Bible that Christians believe it is literally the inspired word of God?
In answering this student's question , I encouraged him to consider the following facts about the Bible. First, the Bible is not just one single book. This is a more common misconception than many people realize, especially with people who do not come from a Judeo-Christian background. Rather than being a single book, the Bible is actually a collection of 66 books, which is called the canon of scriptures. These 66 books contain a variety of genres: history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom literature, letters, and apocalyptic, just to name a few.
Second, these 66 books were written by 40 different authors. These authors came from a variety of backgrounds: shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, prophets, and others. And most of these authors never knew one another personally.
Third, these 66 books were written over a period of 1,500 years. Yet again, this is another reminder that many of these authors never knew or collaborated with one another in writing these books.
Fourth, the 66 books of the Bible were written in 3 different languages. In the Bible we have books that were written in the ancient languages of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic; a reflection of the historical and cultural circumstances in which each of these books were written.
And finally, these 66 books were written on 3 different continents: Africa , Asia , and Europe . Once again, this is a testament to the varied historical and cultural circumstances of God's people.
Think about the above realities: 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents. What's more, this collection of books shares a common storyline - the creation, fall, and redemption of God's people; a common theme - God's universal love for all of humanity; and a common message - salvation is available to all who repent of their sins and commit to following God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength.
In addition to sharing these commonalities, these 66 books of The Bible contain no historical errors or contradictions. God's word truly is an amazing collection of writings!
After I had shared the above facts with this student, I offered him the following challenge. "If you do not believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, if you do not believe that the Bible is of a supernatural origin, then I challenge you to a test, I challenge you to go to any library in the world, you can choose any library you like, and find 66 books which match the characteristics of the 66 books in the Bible. You must choose 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, written on 3 different continents. However, they must share a common storyline, a common theme, and a common message, with no historical errors or contradictions." I went on to say, "If you can produce such a collection of books, I will admit that the Bible is not the inspired word of God."
The student's reply was almost instantaneous, he emphatically stated, "But that's impossible!"
It truly is impossible, for any collection of human writings. However, the Bible passes this test. The Bible contains 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents, with no historical errors or contradictions. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, bears the mark of Divine inspiration.
The next time you encounter someone who asks you why you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, try sharing this challenge with them. Better yet, don't wait until you're asked, just go ahead and share this challenge with a friend today. You don't even have to mention the Bible up front, just ask them if they think it would be realistic to assemble such a collection of books. After they say, "But that's impossible!" you've got a ready-made opportunity for sharing the truth of God's word with somebody!

Overview of Bible History
Preface:
We can't image where God came from. We may know after we die, but there is no point in worrying about that now. No one knows and you will miss God's blessing by procrastination. We have all we need to Believe for now. God knows our Hearts.
The most important thing we can do is to ask God to send His Holy Spirit, as He promised, to dwell in our soul and guide us. Some may need to know more in order to feel their faith has a solid base. Others may accept God's Word and give Faith immediately, but it's important not to wait as we don't know how much time we have. The Bible Gospels gives us all the answers we need to understand and then further study and education about the Bible will solidify our belief so we can share with others. We have Missionaries throughout the world to share the 'Good News' of Salvation to peoples who have not heard.
God also states that He has known use since before we were born and He has created some people who have been Chosen and Called. However, He also says that He desires all people to be Saved and come to Him. We all have the Choice, but He knows that many will refuse to believe and will be lost. God is Love but also an Honest Judge and cannot forgive those that He knows are Lost and purposely Disobedient. God knows our hearts. History shows that He took away those that were evil and lost. The biggest example was the Great Flood. Before that, there were other beings that were evil.
"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."_ Genesis 6:5-6
That's not to mean that we won't sin as we are only human and will always sin. The difference is that those that truly love God are repentant and are always working to grow in God's Word. Again God knows our Hearts. There must be a change in our lives.
In the Old Testament times, God commanded that people sacrifice, to show their love and repentance to God. There were many rules listed, but most most prominent was that They were to give their best perfect Lamb (or other animal) as a Burnt Offering: an offering of ascent, where the whole animal was consumed by fire on the altar as a symbol of complete surrender to God.
Jesus wasn't born yet, although He was in Heaven with God, so this was to prepare man for when Jesus came down into the World as God/Man, the Perfect Lamb to bear our sins and be a Sacrifice in place of our own punishment.
The 'Good News' is that, after Jesus came, man no longer has to follow rules and sacrifice on an alter. Jesus took care of that. He became the Perfect Lamb of God Sacrifice. God knows the People of the Old Testament Times, under the Old Covenant, and they were saved by their faith, obedience, and love of God.
Reference to Jesus is in every book of the bible in some example Is Jesus in Every Book of the Bible? [ See Link: 'GotQuestions.org' ]
There is no other Religion or Belief that has the Scientific and Hisorical Proofs. No other religion had a Risen Lord (Jesus Christ) that was seen by over 600 after death. No one has been able to find errors in The Holy Bible (See discussion on this later.) Over 600 years, people have given their whole life goal to proving it wrong and many became Christian Believers after such research. Creation has scientific proof. And to the dismay of many, Evolution does not have this proof, e.g., Macro Evolution vs. Micro Evolution. In fact, every year, more and more writings of Evolutionay Theory have been debunked. Scientists want to hang onto their Belief for many reasons, mostly Income/Career and also for a Political World View. [ See Tab page: Creation vs Evolution ' ]
Bible History:
1.) God, in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, has been since the beginning. According to the Bible, Jesus Christ is referred to as the Word of God and God.
John 1 refers to Jesus as the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."_ John 1:1-3
2.) "The Word (Jesus) became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."_John 1:14 [See Tab Page: 'The Trinity'].
3.)The Bible says that Jesus Lord God created the Universe and the World and then Animals and Man. (See Tab Pages: "Creation" and Science Shown in Creation".]
4.) God created the Angels in Heaven. One Angel, Lucifer, was the most beautiful and special to God. However, pride took over Lucifer and he wanted to be above God. He took many Angels with him and fell to earth. Now Lucifer is called Satan and The Great Deceiver.
5.) God put the first humans, Adam and Eve in Paradise. He only told them they could eat of everything but not the apples. However, Satan, told Eve that God was a liar and that if she ate of the apple, she would know the ttuth. Eve gave the apple to Adam and he ate of it. This was the first sin of man and God banned them from paradise. He put future punishments upon man (and women) in the future because of this sin and disobedience.
6.) God wrote the Bible through inspiration that He gave to select men who became Disciples and Apostles. We don't need to know how He did this as He made the World and the Universe, so surely He could write the Bible in this way.
7.) The Holy Bible is in two Parts: The Old Testament (Under the Old Covenant of God) which has 39 Books, not including some extra books that Jewish people have in their Torah, and The NewTestament (Under the New Covenant of God) which has 27 Books includint Revelation which reveals the End Times. There are many commentaries on each Bible Book for further explanation. Most Jewish People do not follow the New Testement as they are still waiting for their Savior and many do not accept that Jesus was God. Although the people of Israel are God's Chosen People, He said that he would blind the eyes of the heart for those who were against Him. In the end, God will send Messengers to wittness to all as a last chance. However, there are many Jewish Believers such as Jews for Jesus.
8.) God stated in The Old Testament that Israel and the Jewish People were His chosen people. Jesus was born to a Jewish woman from Nazerth in Isreal. Her name was Mary and she was a Virgin. God sent Angel Gabriel to her to let her know now to be afraid and that she would give birth to The Savior and he should be called Jesus.
"God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth with a message for Mary, who was promised in marriage to Joseph. The angel told Mary that she would have a son, whom she was to name Jesus. The angel said, “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God.”
"Mary asked how this could be as she was a virgin. The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and God’s power will rest on you.” He also told Mary that her elderly relative Elizabeth was six months pregnant, for there is nothing that God cannot do. Mary replied, “I am the Lord’s servant”."_(Luke 1:26-38)
9.) The Old Testament gives the Geneoloty/Ancestry line of people, so History is proven, and shows the line of tribes leading to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, Israel.
10.) There were many centeries and leaders, events and wars in the Old Testament Times. These are described in detail in the Bible and on this website. ( See Tab Page: "People of the Bible."] Many lessons from God are to be learned from these events and stories.
11.) One of the first big events, after Adam and Eve, was the Globel Flood. God chose Noah and selct family members to build an Ark to specific specification and God sent types of animals in pairs for him to protect. Noah was obedient and God provided. The Ark design has been shown to be perfect to hold up in a flood of this kind. The animals that God sent were likely young and smaller and only types. so not every creature was sent becuase they would evolve to live in certain locations and weather. The was the beginning of the newer Earth and Mankind.
12.) Another big Event was the birth of Moses and the captivity of Israelites in Rome for many years. Moses is considered the most important person in the Jewish and Christian Religion.
13.) Exodus ia a Book which describes, after the 10 plagues, the freeing and escape of the Israelites from Rome and, with Moses as their leader, their 40 years in the desert looking for the Promise Land. God provided Mana for them to eat. God gave Moses miracles to show he was with God such as the striking of a rock for water and the serpent cane.
14.) Moses goes up the mountain and meets God. The Ten Commandments were written by God into Stone. [See Tab Page: ["The Ten Commandments"] In the meantime, the Israelites were disobedient and built false statues to worship. They were punished by not reaching The Promise Land. Only Joshua and were allowed to enter.
15.) The fall ofthe Walls of Jerico was another important event where Joshua believed in God and followed his instructions.
16.) TO BE CONTINUED............

About The Scriptures
By www.GotQuestions.org
It is accurate to say that God wrote the Bible. According to 2 Timothy 3:16, Scripture is “breathed out” by God. Throughout the Bible, it is obvious that God is being quoted: over 400 times in the Bible, we find the words “thus says the Lord” (NKJV). The Bible refers to itself as the Word of God dozens of times (e.g., Psalm 119; Proverbs 30:5; Isaiah 40:8; 55:11; Jeremiah 23:29; John 17:17; Romans 10:17; Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12). The Bible is said to proceed from the mouth of God (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4).
However, saying that God wrote the Bible does not mean He took pen in hand, grabbed some parchment, and physically wrote the text of Scripture. His “writing” of Scripture was not a physical action on His part. Rather, God’s authorship was accomplished through the process of inspiration, as human writers wrote God’s message.
So, it is also accurate to say that spiritually inspired men of God wrote the Bible. The doctrine of the inspiration of Scripture essentially teaches that God “superintended” the human authors of the Bible so that their individual styles were preserved but the end result was precisely what God wanted. When Matthew, for example, sat down to write an account of Jesus’ ministry, he relied on his memory (he was an eyewitness to the events he recorded) with help from the Holy Spirit (John 14:26), keeping his intended readership in mind (Matthew wrote for a Jewish audience). The result was the Gospel of Matthew—a narrative full of Matthew’s vocabulary, Matthew’s grammar, Matthew’s syntax, and Matthew’s style. Yet it was God’s Word. The Spirit had so guided Matthew’s writing that everything God wanted to say was said, and nothing was included that God did not intend to say.
Peter described the process of inspiration this way: “Prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21). The prophet Jeremiah spoke of inspiration almost as a compulsion to write God’s message: “His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). There was no escaping it; God wanted to communicate, and so Jeremiah had to write.
Not every book of the Bible specifies who wrote it. For example, the author of the book of Hebrews is unknown. For many books of the Bible, there is simply no way to be certain who the human author is. But that doesn’t change what we are certain about, namely, who the Divine Author is.

A Brief Summary Of The Bible
Text Credited is from: GotQuestions org
As part of His plan of redemption, God called Abraham out of Babylonia into Canaan (about 2000 B.C.). God promised Abraham, his son Isaac, and his grandson Jacob (also called Israel) that He would bless the world through a descendant of theirs. Israel’s family emigrated from Canaan to Egypt, where they grew to be a nation.
About 1400 B.C., God led Israel’s descendants out of Egypt under the direction of Moses and gave them the Promised Land, Canaan, as their own. Through Moses, God gave the people of Israel the Law and made a covenant (testament) with them. If they would remain faithful to God and not follow the idolatry of the surrounding nations, then they would prosper. If they forsook God and followed idols, then God would destroy their nation.
About 400 years later, during the reigns of David and his son Solomon, Israel was solidified into a great and powerful kingdom. God promised David and Solomon that a descendant of theirs would rule as an everlasting king.
After Solomon’s reign, the nation of Israel was divided. The ten tribes to the north were called “Israel,” and they lasted about 200 years before God judged them for their idolatry. Assyria took Israel captive about 721 B.C. The two tribes in the south were called “Judah,” and they lasted a little longer, but eventually they, too, turned from God. Babylon took them captive about 600 B.C.
About 70 years later, God graciously brought a remnant of the captives back into their own land. Jerusalem, the capital, was rebuilt about 444 B.C., and Israel once again established a national identity. Thus, the Old Testament closes.
The New Testament opens about 400 years later with the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Jesus was the descendant promised to Abraham and David, the One to fulfill God’s plan to redeem mankind and restore creation. Jesus faithfully completed His work—He died for sin and rose from the dead. The death of Christ is the basis for a new covenant (testament) with the world. All who have faith in Jesus will be saved from sin and live eternally.
After His resurrection, Jesus sent His disciples to spread the news everywhere of His life and His power to save. Jesus’ disciples went in every direction spreading the good news of Jesus and salvation. They traveled through Asia Minor, Greece, and all the Roman Empire. The New Testament closes with a prediction of Jesus’ return to judge the unbelieving world and free creation from the curse.

Who Wrote The Bible
Text Credit is from: GotQuestions org
|
The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years. But that is not to say that it took 1,500 years to write the Bible, only that it took that long for the complete canon of Scripture to be penned as God progressively revealed His Word. The oldest book of the Bible, according to most scholars, is either Genesis or Job, both thought to have been written by Moses and completed around 1400 BC, about 3,400 years ago. The newest book, Revelation, was written around AD 90.
The books of the Bible were not being written continuously. For example, 400 years elapsed between the completion of the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, and the beginning of the New Testament with the gospel of Matthew. The “400 years of silence” occurred because the Spirit of God did not inspire any Scripture during that time. Although Matthew’s gospel is placed first in the New Testament, it is believed that the first New Testament book written was actually the epistle of James, written in approximately AD 44—49. The entire New Testament was written in about 50 years, from AD 44 to 90 or 95.
It is impossible to know how long it took each author to write his particular book. Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament in about 40 years (1445—1405 BC). Does that mean he was continually writing for 40 years? We just don’t know the answer. Paul’s letters to the New Testament churches, especially the shorter ones such as Philemon, may have been written in one sitting. The same can be said of 2 John and 3 John, which are very short letters written to specific individuals.
We do know that each of the Bible’s authors wrote only as much and as long as they were led to do so. Each author wrote at the direction of the Holy Spirit who “breathed out” Scripture to him. Peter explains this process: “Prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21; cf. 2 Timothy 3:16).
In Biblical Times, the word was given by Witnesses and spread throughout the world by mouth. - Mark 1. The earliest biblical texts were written on scrolls made from papyrus (a plant-based paper) or parchment (animal skins that had been scraped, burnished, and stitched together). It is very likely that all biblical books were initially written on scrolls. Only in the second or third century C.E. did scribes begin to write on papyrus or parchment that was folded and stitched into a codex, which more closely resembles our modern print book. After the invention of the codex, Christians tended to copy their scriptures into codex form, whereas Jews traditionally continued to copy their scriptures in scroll form.

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. - Luke 10

Plus other main Sciences. This is discussed in more detail below in this Preface Section and other Tab Pages.
MANY of the Theories of Evolutionary Belief are being Debunked regularly, yet some Scholars cling to these nonfactual Claims for many Reasons, but Mainly because many college Founders and High ranking Professors do Not want to believe in God. Many Teachers are just Followers and are the Result of our Worldly system of education. Many might be Afraid of Losing their Job if they object. Some Believers even try to Justify evolution by saying that God used Evolution somehow for Creation. That's Not Scientific for many reasons, and Not to mention that it is Denying the Word of God. We Can't pick and choose what we Want to Believe from The Holy Bible. God would Never allow us to be Deceived by His Word! The whole Bible is True! It is meant to be taken Literally, although there are many Stories in Parable form and Examples to help us learn. You can always tell the Difference between a Fact and an Example if you Study. Also, there are No true Contradictions in The Holy Bible, as Some people say, and that is Explained further in Detail in this Website. See Tab Page: [ There Are No True Bible Contradictions ]. Study the Entire Holy Bible for Yourself - not just Sections or Pieces. { "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17 }

You Must Be Born Again
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.-- John 3:3-6
"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.." -- John 3:12-15
For God So Loved The World
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." -- John 3:16-18

"Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen"-- Matthew 28:16-20
"After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves."-- Luke 10:1-3

Jesus Taught the Multitudes
{Jesus said:} " I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father." -- John 16:-12-16
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."-- John 14:1-4

"For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. 10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction." -- 2 Corinthians 13:8-10
x "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth." -- John 17:17-19

Ask And It Shall Be Given You
"And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"-- Luke 11:9-13
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."-- John 14:6
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." -- Matthew 7:13-14
"Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."-- John 14:8-11
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."-- John 14:8-14
