Symbols and Meanings Throughout the Bible
Symbols and their greater meaning are something that requires careful consideration when studying the Bible. Symbols are often referred to as “types,” because the words “ensample” and “figure” are translated from the original Greek word “tupos” (the

Was the last supper on the first night of the full moon of spring or on the first sabbath of the full moon of spring?
You are correct in stating that there was a full moon during the last supper. What is the Bible account for the proper way to determine when the Jews were to celebrate the Passover? Exodus 12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the

On which mountain did Moses receive the Ten Commandments?
Most people are unaware that little evidence supports “Mt. Sinai” in the Sinai Peninsula as the famed mountain of Exodus. Several recent popularizations on the subject have suggested an alternate site of Jabal al-Lawz, or Mt. Musa (Moses) in Saudi Arabia. Local Arab tradition upholds this as

The Half Was never Told
“The half was never told.” These are the words of the Queen of Sheba when she visited Solomon in Jerusalem. The fame of Solomon had spread throughout the world, and the Queen of Sheba journeyed to Israel to see if what she had heard was really true. When she arrived in Jerusalem, she

Was it possible for Jesus to sin?
One of Jehovah’s attributes is wisdom. His wisdom planned and ordered the entire universe. By wisdom, He designed the earth as a home for animal life – including the human family. In Proverbs 8, the Logos (Jesus before he became human) also is personified by “wisdom”. These verses teach
Are we destined by God to be what He wanted us to be in this world?
What God wants us to be in this world is loving, merciful, compassionate, obedient, and righteous people (Micah 6:8). He has given us free will to make our choices and that is His design. Genesis 1 & 2 record how God created mankind as well as all life on earth. God told Adam to

Why Has God Given Us A Bible So Hard To Understand?
Have you ever wondered why the Bible is so hard to understand? We are told in Isaiah 55:8-9, “‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ declares the LORD. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My

Was Jesus the Son of God before his conception with Mary or even before the creation of heaven and earth? Can you further prove that Jesus was created by God?
The scripture that best explains this is found in Colossians 1:12-18, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light…Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created,

Where did the different races come from?
Genesis opens with one human couple begetting one human family. There was no indication of what are called “races.” Before the fall, Adam and Eve were in God’s image. However, disobedience, sin, and degradation tarnished their image. Extreme degradation led God to send a great flood, and only

Can you explain 1 John 5:7-8, “For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.” (NASB)
Please note: the middle parts of verses 7-8 (not here quoted, but in the KJV) are spurious. Those words were added by scribes. Today, scholars agree that those omitted words are not part of the Bible. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) accurately translates this scripture passage. In 1 John 5,
