Genesis 2:15-17 [2:15] And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. [2:16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [2:17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (God did not say anything about the Tree of Life . Also, notice that this commandment was given to Adam, not to Eve, as Eve may not have even been created yet. Adam would have had to pass this commandment on to Eve. Also, God said nothing about touching the tree, just don't eat of the fruit.)
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (The wife is not told to leave her parents)
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: (Satan told the first lie in the Bible)
Genesis 3:20, 4:17 [3:20] And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living . [4:17] And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. (Maybe Cain's wife was a daughter or at least a very close descendent of Eve, since the Bible says that she was the mother of "all" the living.)
Genesis 4:4-5, Hebrews 11:4 [Genesis 4:4] And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: [4:5] But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. [Hebrews 11:4] By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. ( The words of Moses in Genesis 4:10 are the words of God.)
Genesis 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth : then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. (The great Genesis flood covered the whole earth.)
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease .
Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you ; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Genesis 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis 9:22-27 [9:22] And Ham, the father of Canaan , saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. [9:23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. [9:24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him . [9:25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan ; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant . [9:27] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Genesis 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood : (This fixes the date of Shem's birth. Shem was 98 at the flood, Noah was 600, therefore, Noah was 502 at Shem's birth. These lengths of time are correct to + or - a year, which was about the length of the flood.)
Genesis 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where , before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. (This is a desolate land today.)

Genesis 20:2, 7 [20:2] And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. [20:7] Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. (Abraham went to Moriah to sacrifice Isaac. Moriah is used only twice, here and where Solomon built the temple. [II Chronicles 3:1] Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. )
Genesis 23:16-18 [23:16] And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. [23:17] And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure [23:18] Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. (This is the first record in the Bible of the purchase of land.)
Genesis 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. (Jacob)
Genesis 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours .
Genesis 37:17, II Kings 6:13 [Genesis 37:17] And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. [II Kings 6:13] And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. (Dothan is used twice in the Bible)
Genesis 37:34-35 [37:34] And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. [37:35] And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Jacob may had more daughters than just Dinah)
Exodus 2:1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. (Amram & Jochebed, Moses parents)
Exodus 2:21-22 [2:21] And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. [2:22] And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. (Moses & Zipporah, Gershom's parents)
Exodus 4:20, 25 [4:20] And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. [4:25] Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. (Apparently either Gershom or Eliezer was not circumcised.)
Exodus 7:7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. (Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 when they were in Egypt speaking to Pharaoh. Moses was 3 years younger than Aaron.)
Exodus 12:8-11 [12:8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. [12:9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. [12:10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning ; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. [12:11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
Exodus 12:40-41, Galatians 3:17 [Exodus 12:40] Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years . [12:41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years , even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. [Galatians 3:17] And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

[30:3] And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

Isaiah 53:1-12 [53:1] Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? [53:2] For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [53:3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

[53:9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. [53:10] Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. [53:11] He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
See above [53:12] Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

[30:7] Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. [30:8] For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: [30:9] But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them .

Matthew 2:7-16 [2:7] Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men , enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. [2:8] And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child ; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. [2:9] When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. [2:10] When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. [2:11] And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. [2:12] And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
See above [2:13] And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. [2:14] When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: [2:15] And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. [2:16] Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under , according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. (This, in all probability, occurred about 2 years after Jesus' birth, because Herod slew all the children 2 years old and under, thus trying to make sure he had killed Jesus.)
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (See Proverbs 25:21-22 above and Romans 12:20 below)

[7:6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. [7:16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [7:20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

[26:34] Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. [26:35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. [26:56] But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Mark 10:6-9 [10:6] But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. [10:7] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; [10:8] And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. [10:9] What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Mark 14:29-31, 50 [14:29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. [14:30] And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. [14:31] But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. [14:50] And they all forsook him, and fled.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:39-43 [1:39] And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; [1:40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. [1:41] And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: [1:42] And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [1:43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Elizabeth already knew that Jesus would be born of Mary.)
Luke 2:11-12, Matthew 2:11 [Luke 2:11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. [2:12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger .

[5:18] And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. [5:19] And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. [5:20] And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Luke 6:44-46 [6:44] For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. [6:45] A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. [6:46] And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

[7:39] Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. [7:40] And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. [John 12:4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son , which should betray him, (If these are the same person, then Simon the leper was also Judas Iscariot's father.)
Luke 8:17-18 [8:17] For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. [8:18] Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

[11:26] Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
Luke 11:39-41 [11:39] And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. [11:40] Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? [11:41] But rather give alms of such things as ye have ; and, behold, all things are clean unto you .
Luke 12:47-48 [12:47] And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes . [12:48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

[1:50] Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

John 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

[19:32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. [19:33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs : [19:34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. [19:35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

John 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. (Jesus had a napkin for a head cloth, which pretty well negates the theory of the Shroud of Turin. See John 11:44 above.)
Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

[7:24] And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: [7:25] For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. (Moses knew that he was to be the deliverer!)
Acts 7:55-56 [7:55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, [7:56] And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

II Timothy 3:2-7 [3:2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; [3:3] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; [3:4] One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; [3:5] (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) [3:6] Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. [3:7] Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
II Timothy 3:8-13 [3:8] Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; [3:9] Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. [3:10] And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. [3:11] Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. [3:12] Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. [3:13] For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Titus 1:7-9 [1:7] For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; [1:8] But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; [1:9] Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Hebrews 4:12-13 [4:12] For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [4:13] Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Hebrews 6:4-6 [6:4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened , and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [6:5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6:6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance ; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

II Peter 2:4, Jude 5-7 [II Peter 2:4] For if God spared not the angels that sinned , but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; [Jude 5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate , but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha , and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication , and going after strange flesh , are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Revelation 13:15-18 [13:15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast , that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [13:16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [13:17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [13:18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six . (The False Prophet and the Mark of the Beast.)
Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles , by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs . (Approximately 176 miles.)
