    Moses' life is an example of humility and modesty

    We can divide Moses' life into 3 stages.

    Stage 1 (40 years) - birth, growing up, life in Pharaoh's court (pride).

    The very birth and his growing up can be called a miracle. While the Egyptians were killing newborn Israelites (which reminds us of the murder of children in and around

    interpretation, commentary

    In the Old Testament, more specifically in the First Book of Moses chapter 22 in verses 1 to 18 we read about God putting Abraham to the test:

    "(1) And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. (2) And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land

    What Scripture says about vegetarianism. Does God allow you to eat meat

    When Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, only plants served them as food, and more importantly, the same was true for animals that ate plant food. There was no sin yet, so there was no death either, and since there was no death then you couldn't eat meat either, because it was obvious that it came from dead animals.

    How many days in the Bible it took to create the world

    Any person who questions the creation of the world as depicted in Scripture puts God in the position of a liar. Those who supposedly believe in the biblical creation, yet add the erroneous theory that it took millions of years, also fall into the group of people who call the Creator a fraud. The big bang theory and the theory of evolution are fictions based on theories, not evidence, that atheists

    Theory 1 cited by evolutionists (inconsistent with Scripture due to the age of creation):

    Coal was formed 360-30 million years ago from dead plants in swampy, marshy areas. The dead plant tissues form peat, which as it moves deeper underground undergoes greater pressure and high temperature. The aforementioned lack of oxygen, tremendous pressure, the right temperature and millions of years make coal in the

    Movie Noah inconsistent with the Bible

    The 2014 film Noah is a highly controversial film, and that is not what its title should be, as it has little to do with real events. At the beginning, words from Scripture are quoted, so the viewer may get the impression that the film is trying to accurately portray the events described in the pages of the Bible, which is not the case. If there had been an insert at the beginning informing the

    The 10 commandments of God called the Decalogue contained in the Old Testament are different from those known to most of the public. To make matters worse, during a conversation in which they are quoted the Biblical Decalogue, they find that the given translation of Scripture is false, because they have not heard of such commandments. Sad, but true. Most of us, know the 10 commandments preached by the

    Animal suffering and the Bible

    Animals, although they did not bring sin to earth, have been affected by suffering just as much as humans. Why must they endure so much evil, even though they are not guilty of sin. For an example, let's look at the following verses:
