Paula @ Gracefilled Moments I enjoy reading interesting facts on an assortment of topics. And I\’m doing something a little different today. I did a Google search for interesting Bible facts. It came back with 340,000,000 results in (0.54 seconds). There are a lot of neat things to learn; let\’s take a look at some I found hopping around the web. I hope you find these interesting finds too.
Interesting Bible Facts

Thank you for opening your doors wide again this month, Paula. You’re a most generous hostess, for sure! Bless you …
Thank you, Linda. And you’re welcome. {{Hugs}}
Interesting insights, Paula, thanks for sharing! I didn’t realize the Bible sold that many copies every year – that is amazing!
You’re welcome, Lisa.
Fun facts! I knew some of them.
It’s always interesting to read facts like this – even when we have heard them before. I loved the John 3:16 fact. Thank you for putting this all together!
You’re welcome Joanne.
Those are very interesting biblical facts. I did know most of them, although the book of Genesis was a surprise to me.
Interesting facts Paula! I have heard that “do not fear” thing bantered about, and the fact is it depends on which bible version you use, it’s not true for the KJV for example or even the ESV. It is not always “fear not” used in the original languages either. Preaches good, I suspect some well meaning peron put that out there, but it’s not “fact”.
But the ‘spirit” of the thought is good, certainly that we need not fear anything when trusting God!
This must have been a fun post to assemble, Paula. Grateful to link up with you again this month, friend.
Thank you for hosting and taking the time to visit everyone – that’s impressive!
Interesting post, Paula! I escpecially liked the fact about John 3:16; I’ve never thought about it before.
Oh my goodness– i love posts like this, and especially when it has to do with the Bible. Many of these I did not know. I am still not over the one that God buried Moses. I had to go back and read that part of the Scripture. Feeling very blessed by your post. So glad I found your blog!
I’m a little bit of a trivia nut. And when the interesting facts have to do with God’s Word it’s a double blessing.
Thanks for sharing, Paula!
As a bile enthusiast, trivia like this is right up my alley.
I had to do a double-take – the bible is the most shop-lifted book? Somehow that seems crazy. I hope whoever steals a bible, reads it, gets saved and then pays back the price of the bible!
What fun facts! They go great with sweet tea and front-porch sitting! Thank you for your hospitality! Shalom, my friend! ~ Maryleigh
Thanks for sharing such intersting bible facts! Knowing that there are 365 bible verses reminding us to not fear is so reassuring in so many ways! God is good!
Thank you for hosting the party, Paula! I enjoyed reading the interesting Bible facts, especially the one about the 365 fear not verses! I have shared your party in the Hearth and Soul Community on Facebook. I appreciate you being a member there! Have a wonderful week.
You’re so welcome April. And Thank you.
Paula – love reading all these Bible facts – so interesting to see God at work in all His facts!
