Who killed Goliath, David or Elhanan? The record of Goliath’s defeat at the hand of David is found in 1 Samuel 17. However, a verse in 2 Samuel seems to name Elhanan, instead of David, as the one who toppled Goliath. Here’s what’s clear: 1 Samuel 17:50 says that David killed Goliath: “So...

A copyist's error, 2Sa 21:19 - And there was again a battle in Gobwith the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver'sbeam.

David had not tested Saul's armor, it may not be that it was too big for him but that it was not what had worked for him in the past. He went with what he knew had worked when he killed the lion and the bear 1Sa 17:39 - And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he...

How old was David when he fought Goliath? Scripture gives us stronger clues regarding David’s age when he fought Goliath. While the Philistines were at war with Saul, their giant, Goliath, taunted the armies of Israel daily. But none of the Hebrew soldiers had the courage to face Goliath one on...

I used to commute to work over an hour both ways and I listened to sermons on CD and I had Bible commentary by Chuck Missler. He took the Bible literally but he was a rocket scientist so some of his takes on Genesis were really interesting. I remember him saying that the universe expanded at 10...

Andersonville Theological Seminary, through correspondence

The seminary I got my degree from taught that it was all literal. I see other possibilities

I'm talking about how this looks to a non believer. Think of them as outsiders.

I'm talking about someone who is not a believer or has not been taught the Bible from their youth. This looks like a myth

For someone who is not a believer think of how this sounds. Angels having sex with women, giants, a person being able to build a boat that size with no modern tools. How long did it take to build the ark? What kept the wood from rotting while it was being built? The logistics are impossible, and...

Thanks to everyone for the prayers, they help

Original sin is not in the Bible but we all agree it happened
