RicardozRichard:
1. Jesus never mentions homosexuality.

2. There are two different, possibly contradicting
creation stories in Genesis
Verses 1:1–2:3 uses the Hebrew word elohim for God
and depicts God creating the world in seven days.
Verses 2:4–24 uses the Hebrew word yahweh for God,
and has God create Adam from dust and Eve from
Adam's rib. Most scholars attribute this to independent
sources which were combined to create the Torah.

3. The Bible actually is the best-selling book in the
world.
Bravo
It's sold probably five billion copies, according to
Guinness World Records.

4. Delilah’s servant , not Delilah herself, cuts Samson’s
hair.
What a diva.

5. In Exodus, Moses sees God’s butt.
In Exodus, God won't let Moses look at God's face, but
Moses IS allowed to look at God's, er, backside. Exodus
33:21–23 in the KJV: "And the Lord said, Behold, there
is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by,
that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover
thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away
mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my
face shall not be seen."
The NRSV translates the Hebrew word achor as "back,"
but that Hebrew word is actually plural. The butt
cheeks of God?

6. Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines, and 12,000
horses.
The Bible never explicitly condemns concubinage,
something Old Testament dudes took generous
advantage of.

7. Most scholars believe Paul didn’t write many of the
books that claim to be authored by him.
A majority of biblical scholars agree Paul that didn't
actually write Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1
Timothy, 2 Timothy or the Pastoral Epistles (Timothy
and Titus.) Romans, Galatians, 1 & 2 Corinthians, 1
Thessalonians, Philippians, and Philemon are considered
to be authentically Pauline. (The practice of writing
letters in someone else's name was a common practice
in antiquity, particularly within the Hebrew Bible
tradition.)

8. Some books of the Bible mention unicorns.
The Hebrew word reym is often now translated as "wild
ox," but in the 1611 King James Bible it appeared in
English as "unicorn." Reym was first translated into
Greek as monokeros, which means "one horn."
Some people think the word reym actually refers to
rhinoceri.

9. Jesus wasn’t really a carpenter
The Greek word used occasionally to describe Jesus'
profession is tekton, which means something closer to
a generic term for "craftsman." Jesus could've built
ships, made ploughs or did some sort of plumbing
work. Here's more on how the carpenter tradition
developed.

10. Psalm 137 presents one of the most controversial
verses in the Bible.
Basically: "Murdering babies is a good time."

11. The Bible is one of the most commonly shoplifted
books in the world.

12. Jonah wasn’t eaten by a whale.

The Bible says only that he was swallowed by a "large
fish." (Whales, of course, are mammals.)

13. In the book of Genesis , Methuselah lives to be 969
years old.
A lot of people in the Old Testament lived ridiculously
long lives: Noah is described as living to be 950, Adam
(as in THE Adam) dies at about 930 , and Abraham lived
to 175.
People who favor a more literal reading of the Bible
argue that this was actually possible , due to
antediluvian Earth having a healthier atmosphere and
less diluted gene pool.

14. Judas betrayed Jesus for the equivalent of four
months’ pay today.
Matthew 26 states that Judas sold Jesus for "thirty
pieces of silver." Assuming these are the standard coins
worth four drachmas each, the total would add up to
about $6,000 today.

15. Hell in terms of “fire and brimstone and eternal
damnation of souls” isn’t precisely mentioned in the
Bible. Most of those images originate from medieval
works like Dante’s Inferno.
The concept of an underworld in the Hebrew Bible/Old
Testament is limited to sheol , which is described only
as a place of darkness where all people, righteous and
unrighteous, go after death.
In the New Testament, the destiny of the wicked is
Gehenna , a different place altogether of sheol. Gehenna
was literally the location of a trash dump in the Valley
of Hinnom outside Jersualem. Later, the book of
Revelation refers to a "lake of fire." Some Christians
interpret Jesus' use of gehenna as a symbol for a place
of eternal condemnation of the soul. The KJV
translates both sheol and gehenna as hell .

What rot that is
Moses was not allowed to see the face of God
but God allowed Moses to see the back of Him as He passed by.
