Please Help BHC


In 1999, when we began our work at the Biblical Heritage Center, our goal was not to just be an academic educational venture. It was to make the lives of people better and make the world a safer place for all people. We believe an important way to do this is by providing people with facts about their biblical heritages – from the writing of the books of the Bible to the religious institutions that base their authority on the Bible and the belief systems they have created.

The problem we face is that many of the facts that we discover do not agree with people’s religious beliefs.  We do not promise to save people, get them in heaven or save them from hell. We promise to give to provide the most accurate factual information we can find about their biblical heritages, which includes the religious and other authoritarian institutions that do promise to do those things. Our biblical heritages affect the quality of life, the way relate to each other, how we teach our children, and as we have recently seen, how millions of Americans vote. We believe that when people have access to factual information they will ultimately use it to test their beliefs and ultimately make the best decision for their own lives and the lives of those that depend on them.

This isn’t the most popular thing to do. People do not like to be informed that any of their religious beliefs aren’t what they believed they were. A major downside for BHC is that doing this doesn’t make raising the funding we need very easy. If you understand the importance of our work, especially if it has helped you, please help BHC now by making a generous year-end  tax-deductible contribution. It is urgently needed now. Please be as generous as possible -- $5,000, $2500, $ 1500, $1000, $750, $500, $250, $100 – if you have been blessed and can do more or if circumstances limit you to less – please do your best. It is important. Your help is greatly appreciated. Please take time to help now by clicking on http://www.biblicalheritage.org/BHC/donate.htm .

Why did they lay their coats at Saul's feet?

The witnesses, laying their coats at the feet of Saul, were the men that would cast the first stones at Stephen in Acts 7. Why did they all lay their coats at Saul’s feet? The Talmud contains a very interesting account of the act of stoning that may provide the answer. “When the trial was over, they take him [the condemned person] out to be stoned. The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew   sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

The Moment the Humans Created Shame in the Garden in Eden

For readers of most English translations, this is a story about two naked people who didn’t know they were naked until they ate the forbidden fruit . The reason God told them to not eat that fruit was because he didn’t want them to know they were naked or he was testing their obedience to him . As I pointed out in earlier emails, the serpent wasn’t Satan and this was not a battle between God and Satan over the souls of all people who will ever live. So what did the original author of the story want his readers to learn? Continue to read at - https://mailchi.mp/3e270c10e81d/the-moment-the-humans-created-shame-in-the-garden-in-eden

The Religious Landscape in America from 1775 to 1850

The Great Awakening swept the English-speaking world, as religious energy vibrated between England, Wales, Scotland and the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s. Between 1776 and 1850 there was not only a huge growth in religion in America, there was also a shift in popularity. See lists of religions in America during those two periods. https://mailchi.mp/073b87f38395/the-religious-landscape-in-america-from-1775-to-1850
