Random Biblical Trivia (With commentary of course)

        Angels are called "sons of God" in the Book of Job. It is true, even though the four main Gospels profess that Christ is the only son of God. (The Old Testament translation for the angels being "sons of God", could also mean "created by God", as well.)

 

Satan translates to the English word "Adversary". (Great, he has another title.)

In Job Satan actually reported to God when he asked to test the character of Job to blasphemy God to His face.

In Revelation (if you think I am actually going to quote it I am not, my luck is bad enough already.) one of the signs is twelve gates with the names of the twelve apostles etched into them. This is prudent to why I find it intriguing because Judas the Iscariot was replaced with Mattias and we are not told which has their name etched.

The song Turn, Turn, Turn, by the Byrds, is actually is rooted in Sirach/Ben Sira/Ben Sirach (depending upon which translation you read the title may be different.)

John the Baptist's death by beheading ordered by Herod was actually the second time he died, with very little in scripture about his first death, just that he was raised from the dead once.

Lucifer in Isaiah is Latin for "morning star" or "bright morning star".

Why do people picture God with a beard? (Just asking)

In Genesis there is one fact that is overlooked by many concerning the snake in the Garden of Eden: How had serpents/snakes moved before God punished them to crawl on their bellies for the rest of time. (Plural because the one in the Garden seemed to be the original snake changing itself)

I do not profess that I am an expert on the subject I just found what it was as an unobjectively observer for it as a book. (Also, I find other things interesting but I do not like going into politics and theological arguments with others, I must digress for that to continue to be so.)

If you found it interesting tip (If you can); If you found it uninteresting, please tip. (If you can)

Thanks for reading this.
