Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

The hated Samaritan ethnic group was long ago extinct.

II Kings 17:24-41 – Luke 10:25-37 – John 4:1-42

Fact of the Day 

No! After the Assyrians took the Jews captive to their land (today’s Iraq), they filled the empty Jewish cities with their own people and were called Samaritans.  The Jews hated them and wouldn’t even walk through their province in the middle of the country to get from a souther province to a northern province.  They became a mixed breed.  Some Samaritans still exist today in the same area of Palestine.  DNA shows them to be part Jewish and part Iraqi.  Look on the internet for articles and pictures about them.  It is very interesting.

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

God was not faithful to the Northern half of Israel when he let them be conquered and taken as captives to Assyria (today’s Iraq) so the Assyrians could live in N. Israel instead.

Leviticus 18:25-28  –  II Kings 17:7-18

Fact of the Day 

No!  God had warned the Jews 1000 years earlier when he told them to destroy the Amorites (Canaanites) so they could take over their land.  He said that, IF the Jews ever got as bad as the Canaanites, the land would vomit them out of it too.

The Israelites didn’t believe God’s warning  because they did not want to stop their immorality by calling it religion.  So, they…

(1)  built temples to and worshiped pornographic goddesses

(2)  stopped believing in the one true God

(3)  worshiped calves and the stars

(4)  burned their children to death as sacrifices to power gods.
