Interesting Bible Facts

Did you know that Bible was written over a period of 1600 years? 40 men were given inspiration by God to continue writing the Bible and it has 66 books which are related. There is an Old and New Testament and they are divided by the life of Jesus Christ. The Bible has been successfully translated to more than twelve hundred languages and dialects in part or whole. The Bible is still bestselling book of all time. Translation into English was first started by John Wycliffe and completed by John Purvey in 1388. This highest selling book is much revered and was first divided into chapter's paragraph in the Geneva Bible of 1560. Lots of data in Bible are prophecies and some of them have come true. Some theories say that Bible wasn't even written by its original authors. Some things sound like a child storytelling: "It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested. (From the NIV Bible, Exodus 31:17)." Our opinion is that Bible is like everything else on our planet with its good and bad sides. Usually bad things are the ones that are written by human hand.

The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible. Books alternate in color between white and light gray. The length of each bar denotes the number of verses in the chapter. Each of the 63,779 cross references found in the Bible is depicted by a single arc - the color corresponds to the distance between the two chapters, creating a rainbow-like effect.

I found it interesting that the Rainbow is God's symbol of His promise to man that he would never destroy the whole earth with a flood ever again.

I must say that I take offense to your statement: "Our opinion is that Bible is like everything else on our planet with its good and bad sides. Usually bad things are the ones that are written by human hand."

God used 40 men that were inspired of God to write His Word down and He promised to preserve His Word forever. While man does make many mistakes, God does not, and His Word has been preserved just as He promised. The whole concept of "God-Inspired" or "God-Breathed" means that God Himself wrote those words using the hands of man under His control.

Great site, keep up the good work!

Well, this "fact" just lost my respect for your website. Not only is it is poorly written: "Lots of data in Bible are prophecies and some of them have come true." I can't see any evidence that it has been verified. "40 men were given inspiration by God to continue writing the Bible" Really? This is an unprovable statement expressed in poor grammar.

If this slopy entry is an example of your commitment to veracity and truth, I can't begin to wonder what else you might vouch as fact.

Anyone who would discount the veracity of the Bible without having made an honest inquiry, is either a liar, (saying they had, when they hadn't), or are ignorant. But such is the state of man, blind from birth, dull of hearing, rejecting the truth. Alas.
