Do The Three Years of Daniel 1:5 Contradict Daniel 2:1?

April 9, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

“Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it . . . The king said . . . to bring some of sons of Israel . . . to stand in the king’s palace . . . and teach them the literature and tongue of the Chaldeans . . . that they should be educated three years, at the end of which they were to stand before the king” (Daniel 1:2-5 LSB). Critics claim that the “three years” of Daniel 1:5 of educational training that Daniel and his three Hebrew companions received after coming to Babylon as captives conflict with their reported appearance, “before Nebuchadnezzar . . . in service before the king” by “the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar” (Daniel 1:18,19; 2:1 LSB), since Nebuchadnezzar is called “king of Babylon” at the time of the capture of the Jews. They claim that the Bible’s account is fictional because it reports the three years of training as completed in only the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign. read more

Did Complex Life Evolve, or Was It Created?

April 6, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Every year more scientific discoveries prove how wrong scientists have been regarding their theories of the appearance of life on earth. Did complex life evolve, or was it created?

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

The common thinking of the scientific community is that macro-evolution is how complex life appeared on earth, and the Bible’s statements in Genesis chapter 1 regarding God creating complex life on earth is mythological fiction. The problem is that scientific discoveries constantly force scientists revise their theories. read more

The Unforgiving Slave Parable Teaches Forgiveness Is Vital

March 26, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The unforgiving slave parable tells of a slave forgiven a huge debt so great that he could have never paid it off, but who wouldn’t forgive a fellow slave’s relatively small debt. A certain segment of Christianity claims Christians are “Once Saved, Always Saved”, and the parable doesn’t teach us much beyond the parable itself. Is “Eternal Security”, or “Once Saved, Always Saved” Biblical? According to the parable of the unforgiving slave, “Eternal Security”, or “Once saved, always saved” is unscriptural. This may be surprising to some Christians, but it is true. read more

What Does Judges Tell Us About God and the Trinity?

March 13, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Is the Bible reliable? — What does Judges tell us about God and the Trinity?

It is claimed that Almighty God is a Trinity of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit, in one God. What does the book of Judges tell us about Almighty God and the Trinity? Is the Trinity in the historical book of Judges? Surprisingly, there is a wealth of information in the Old Testament book of Judges that can help us to answer these questions.

THE BAALS

“The sons of Israel did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh and served [worshipped, marginal reading] the Baals” (Judges 2:11 LSB). Notice that they served/worshipped “the Baals“. We can’t help but note the similarities between “the Baals” and the Trinity. read more

Is the Trinity in the Book of Exodus?

March 6, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Exodus is the Bible book that gives the history of the choosing of the ancient Israelites as God’s chosen people, or nation, and their entering into a special covenant with God to bind that relationship. The Trinity doctrine is often said to be the main doctrine of Christianity. If that is true, we should certainly find the doctrine in this very important Bible book. In this article, we’ll explore the question, “Is the Trinity in the book of Exodus”?

Lamentations and the Trinity

February 26, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 1 comment

The relatively short five chapter Old Testament Bible book isn’t used very much these days. In fact, many Christians are unaware that the book even exists, and even many of those who are aware, would struggle to find its place in the Bible. This is ironic, because an older song often sung in Christian Church services, weddings and funerals, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”, is based on Lamentations 3:22-23. Yahweh, the Most High God, is mentioned a number of times, Jesus Christ is possibly referred once, and the holy Spirit isn’t mentioned at all in this relatively short book. We’ll examine its contents thoroughly to see whether we find evidence for, or against, the Trinity doctrine. Is the Trinity doctrine in Lamentations? read more

How Should John 1:1 Be Translated?

February 12, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 4 comments

There is some controversy as to how should John 1:1 be translated. Trinitarians often use the verse to support their contention that Jesus is the eternal Almighty God. John 1:1 is often translated as, “and the Word was God”, and used to assert the Son of God, Jesus Christ is Almighty God? How about “a god”?

The traditional rendering in English is:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

There are many other variations of rendering John 1:1 which are more accurate according to the Greek text, both in translation or paraphrase, John 1:1c also exist: read more

Did Moses Write the Torah, or Pentateuch? – Why It Matters

February 4, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 16 comments

Many modern “scholars” believe the first five books of the Bible, called the Torah, or Pentateuch, written after the exile, that is, after 586 BCE, while the older Jewish and Christian view is that Moses wrote it. Did Moses write the Torah, or Pentateuch? Why does it even matter?

The Torah was originally one scroll when originally written in ancient Hebrew, which had no written vowels. The reader would supply the vowel sounds, and people would listen when it was publicly read by the priests so they could learn the correct pronunciations. Later, in the 3rd century BCE, when the Torah was translated into Greek, which had written vowels, it became necessary to divide the Torah into five parts, which came to be called, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. From this the name Pentateuch was used to describe these five books, which were originally only one scroll in the ancient Hebrew. In any case, the entire Torah, or Pentateuch, is often referred to in the scriptures as, “the Law”, “the Law of Moses”, or sometimes, as just “Moses”. read more

Did Samson Sin With The Prostitute In Gaza?

January 30, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Samson is one of the more famous characters in the Bible, particularly known for his extraordinary acts of strength, and his encounter with Delilah. In one the less prominent events of his life, it is commonly believed by Bible scholars, Christians, and others, that the ancient Israelite judge Samson committed immorality with a harlot in the Philistine city of Gaza, based on the scriptural account in Judges 16:1-3. All one has to do is look at some of the numerous Bible commentaries to see this. Did Samson sin with the prostitute at Gaza? read more

Assyrian Cuneiform Seal Discovered Reveals Judah Tax Bill

January 21, 2026 BibleAuthenticity Comments 5 comments

Assyrian Cuneiform Seal discovered in 2025 “The mouths of liars will be silenced”—Psalm 63:11 NIV Until the 1840’s critics claimed the Bible’s many references to the Assyrians were fictional, because there no external evidence outside of the Bible of an Assyrian kingdom. However, these critics claims were silenced with numerous independent archaeological discoveries supporting the Bible’s record of the Assyrian kingdom. Archaeological discoveries continually uncover artifacts which support the Bible record as being authentic and true. One headline described a recent sensational find this way:

Archaeologists Uncover 2,700-Year-Old Inscription Under the Western Wall on the Temple Mount

THE 2025 DISCOVERY OF THE ASSYRIAN CUNEIFORM SEAL Details of this discovery are quoted here in this article.

Archaeologists Found an Ancient Tablet Inscribed With an Ominous Royal Threat

Death and taxes have always been inevitable, even in the ancient world.
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
A fragment of a cuneiform seal that’s now the first direct evidence of official communication between the kingdoms of Judah and Assyria has emerged at an archaeological site in Israel.
According to the cuneiform writing on the seal, which was meant to summarize a longer document, the king of Assyria demanded that the king of Judah pay his taxes.
The seal is thought to be from the same time period when Assyria conquered Judah and made it a vassal state required to pay tribute to the Assyrian king.—Popular Mechanics, November 3, 2025 read more
