Is the Bible's description of Nineveh correct?
by scout575 injonah 3:3 says: "now nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days journey.
" if we assume that about 20 miles can be covered in a day's walk, that would make nineveh about 60 miles wide.
was nineveh really that big?

by scout575 inat hebrews 10: 26,27 the bible warns those who would consider leaving christianity: "for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgement and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Is this prophecy by Jesus trustworthy?
by scout575 inin the last chapter of the bible jesus is three times portrayed as saying: "i come quickly.
" the last of these three statements actually reads: "surely i come quickly.

How responsible is Jesus' advice at Matthew 19:12?
by scout575 inmatthew 19:12 says: " for their are some eunuchs which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and their are some eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom heaven's sake.
he that can make room for it, let him receive it.
" whilst these words of jesus have been taken figuratively by most christians, many, particularly in the past, have taken them all too literally and castrated themselves, thinking they were following jesus' advice.

What's your view of the bible?
by JH inok' the bible is full of errors and inconsistencies some will say, so does this make the bible nul and void?.
some verses are still very clear, like thy shall not steal, or thy shall not commit adultery or fornication... .
some will think that if you find a few errors or inconsistencies in the bible, then it's not trustworthy anymore, so scrap the whole book.

does this bible verse need to be corrected?
