From Hard Sayings of the Bible The most plausible explanation, and the one favored by most older commentators, is that the four events in the history of Saul and David in 1 Samuel 16–18 are not given in chronological order. Instead, they are transposed by a figure of speech known as...

Maybe you didn't see my last post. Yes, I have heard all of this before and that David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem which makes some think this story was added later because the Jews hadn't conquered Jerusalem at that time. (But David put the skull on a hill to taunt the enemy and it became...

Maybe it's not a copyists error but you have another verse that confirms that it was the brother of Goliath, so isn't it possible that this is correct Tools 1Ch 20:5 - And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose...

I'm not saying you are wrong I am just providing more information, you and I are not the only ones reading this Other people may want to see another point of view. I'm not trying to prove you wrong

I've found myself in agreement with you on some things but it's clear that you are arrogant and though you study from a variety of sources you are actually quite close minded and seem to think that you are the only one who has the correct interpretation. When you can address a post without...

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...

He had killed a lion and a bear. That made him a warrior

There are several possible explanations for why Saul asks about David in chapter 17 after he had been introduced to him in chapter 16. As a preface, we should note that Saul was not inquiring of the identity of David per se in chapter 17; rather, he was asking who David’s fatherwas (verses 55...

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...

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he was born of a virgin birth, that he died for my sins and he rose again on the 3rd day. He is my Savior and my faith is in him. Other aspects of Christianity people have different beliefs about and I no longer think that my beliefs are the only...

I'm in Alabama. Andersonville is in Georgia.

I was a youth pastor and I filled in for pastors when they needed to be off, was an interim pastor for a while while I was a youth pastor. I didn't have to have a degree. It was sufficient for what I was doing

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.
