I heard someone say there are 32,000 promises in the Bible that GOD made to all of us. I googled it, and sure enough I came upon the same statement of 32,000 promises that were made. I'd think that before I denounced GOD and became an atheist I'd research some of these promises and see which ones have came true and which ones are about to come true and so on … I'm just saying. Has anyone else heard of these 32,000 promises and what are some of them?

Never heard the claim before. Did you find the list itself?

".... I'd think that before I denounced GOD and became an atheist I'd research some of these promises and see which ones
have came true and which ones are about to come true and so on … I'm just saying. .. Helping Jesus Fulfill Prophecy by Robert J. Miller Ph.D. Claremont Graduate School M.A. Claremont Graduate School M.A. University of California Santa Barbara B.A. St. John's College from the book "It's obvious that Jesus fulfilled prophecies about the promised Messiah--or so the gospels make it seem. But the real story is more complex, and more compelling. In hindsight we can see that Jesus had help fulfilling prophecy. The gospel writers skillfully manipulated prophecies--carefully lifting them out of context, creatively reinterpreting them, even rewriting them--to match what Jesus would do in fulfilling them. The evangelists also used the prophecies themselves to shape the very stories that show their fulfillment. This book describes in detail how Christian authors "helped" Jesus fulfill prophecy. Studies of Greek oracles, the Dead Sea Scrolls, translations of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek and Aramaic, and the writings of Josephus explore the interpretive techniques that paved the way for the New Testament's manipulation of prophecy. This book analyzes how the belief that Jesus fulfilled prophecy became an argument to justify a new notion: the view that Christians had replaced Jews as God's chosen people. An aggressive anti-Judaism is analyzed in chapters on patristic theologians such as Justin Martyr and Augustine, who embedded it into the argument from prophecy. The book concludes with an ethical argument for why Christians should retire the argument from prophecy."

I ran into the same thing on Google ... first I found 7,000 promises, then I found 9,000, then finally I found where it said there are actually 32,000. This is amazing to me and I'm going to try to find a list of them when I get back home to Indiana. I'm still driving back from my trip to BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTES.

You might look into the work of Westar.
It's a group of religious scholars who follow the evidence. It's not perfect, but it's a more honest look at Christianity than most Christians are willing to take. They are committed to intellectual integrity. I respect them for that.

Has anyone else heard of these 32,000 promises and what are some of them? How many promises are in the Bible?
Answered by Rob J Hyndman · 22 October 2009 The Bible is so full of God’s promises, that it is not really possible to count them. Some people have tried and come up with about 3000. Others have counted 7000. Herbert Lockyer wrote a book called All the promises of the Bible and claims to list 8000. bibleq.net/answer/650/Here are some of God's promises in the Bible www.coffschristadelphians.org/promises.php
