Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** The Catholic and Orthodox Bibles have four different Judases. One is a heroic freedom fighter, the other is an apostle and another apostle [[spoiler: betrays Jesus]]. There was another Judas who lives in Damascus.
** The revolutionary that was released in Jesus' place, Barabbas, also had the first name Jesus. Pilate asks the crowd whom should he release: Jesus Barabbas or Jesus of Nazareth.
** If you use a Greek-based Old Testament, Joshua has the DubNameChange of Jesus (in fact, "Jesus" is just the Greek variant of "Joshua"). To clear things up, Joshua is referred to as "Jesus of Navi" in Eastern Orthodox countries so people don't confuse him with Jesus Christ.
** Rahab from the Literature/BookOfJoshua shares her name a mythical sea monster mentioned in the Literature/BookOfPsalms.
** Jezebel from the Literature/BooksOfKings is often confused with a pagan cult leader of the same name mentioned in [[Literature/TheBookOfRevelation Revelation]].

** The global firestorm that razes the earth a few days after the impact is similar to many depictions of rapture involving the world being set on fire.
** The world going dark from the soot and debris covering the atmosphere is sorta reminiscent of one of the plagues from the Book of Exodus.
** Also involving wormwood, it's highly likely that the water turning bitter after wormwood fell to earth was much like how common watering holes were poisoned followed the aftermath of the collision from toxic chemicals as well as the drastic acidification of the ocean that accompanied it.

* FountainOfExpies: Jesus. Wiki/ThisVeryWiki gives us the CrystalDragonJesus and MessianicArchetype tropes; if the authors have encountered Christianity, they can be assumed to be expys. Some of the most well-known, though, include [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker and his father]], [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Aslan]], Franchise/{{Superman}}, and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Nagisa Kaworu]]. In RealLife, many individuals have claimed to be His reincarnation.

** The whole story of Myth/{{Lilith}}. It originated not from any Biblical text, but from a medieval satire called the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet_of_Sirach Alphabet of Sirach]]''. Eventually some people [[PoesLaw didn't realize it's satire]] and assumed the story was removed from the Bible.
** Mary being impregnated at the age of 12 or 14. The Bible makes no mention of the age of Mary at any point. This age comes from the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_James Protoevangelum of James]]'' - a book written over 100 years after Jesus.

** The Books of Chronicles has uncertain translations for the title. In Hebrew, it's ''Dīvrē-hayYāmīm'' (meaning "The Matter of Days"). When translated into Greek it was rendered ''Paraleipoménon'' (meaning "Of Things Omitted - in reference to things ommitted from Samuel/Kings). "Paralipomenon" is still used in old-timey Catholic and Orthodox bibles, but it's now being phased out. But around the Reformation and onwards, the English-speaking world used the translation "Chronicles".

* LifeImitatesArt: A lot of the doomsday prophecies in Book of Revelation and similar books appear to parallel the commonly believed scenario/story as to how the UsefulNotes/{{Dinosaurs}} went extinct.
** Wormwood being described as a celestial body falling to Earth can obviously be compared to the asteroid that fell to Earth and bootstrapped the dinosaurs' judgement day.
** The world shaking to its core during the start of many apocalypse scenarios can be thought similarly to the magnitude 11 earthquake that ripped apart entire mountains and islands not long after impact.

** In Hebrew, the names of the Torah/Pentateuch books are named after their first lines. [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis]] is ''Bereshit'' ("In the beginning..."), [[Literature/BookOfExodus Exodus]] is ''Shemot'' ("These are the names..."), Leviticus is called ''Vayikra'' ("And He Called..."), Numbers is ''Bamidbar'' ("In the wilderness..."), and Deuteronomy is ''Devarim'' ("Words..."). The English names come from an ancient Greek translation called the Septuagint.
** Same applies to Lamentations, which is called ''Eikah'' ("How...") in Hebrew.
** The Literature/BooksOfSamuel are called the "Books of Kings" in the Greek Septuagint, and are grouped together with the Literature/BooksOfKings. This trend caries on in some old-timey Catholic and Orthodox bibles, so instead of "'''1 Samuel - 2 Samuel - 1 Kings - 2 Kings'''", it's "'''1 Kings - 2 Kings - 3 Kings - 4 Kings'''".
** The Books of Chronicles has uncertain translations for the title. In Hebrew, it's ''Dīvrē-hayYāmīm'' (meaning "The Matter of Days"). When translated into Greek it was rendered ''Paraleipoménon'' (meaning "Of Things Omitted - in reference to things ommitted from Samuel/Kings).

Later on, the science of geology developed, and scientists found out that the world is much, much older than they thought ...

** The BigGood of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' ([[GreyAndGrayMorality well, kinda]]) is a half-god, half-man whose life and works are an unattainable pinnacle, but you're supposed to try and emulate him regardless. The Horus Heresy even directly references the Fall of Lucifer-The Emperor's favorite subordinate becomes prideful and takes a swing at the boss. After he gets curbstomped, all his friends jump ship and are now running around making trouble for everyone else.
** We ourselves have catalouged a list of BiblicalMotifs.
* ScienceMarchesOn: The concept of the world being a few thousand years old—a tenet of Young Earth Creationism—stems from early attempts to date the age of the Earth by various scholars and historians, who used known history in conjunction with the Bible (note that Genesis, in the original Hebrew, doesn't give a specific date or rate of creation). Later on, the science of geology developed, and scientists found out that the world is much, much older than they thought ...
** An aversion with the health laws in Leviticus. While they are dated ''now'', for the time they were surprisingly ahead of their time, including washing with water, getting rid of black mold, don't eat shellfish or pork (in that climate it was prone to disease more so than now, since we have better methods of treatment), and curing leprosy, among other things. Even the idea of a rest day is shown to be beneficial to mental health.
* TropeNamers: See [[TropeNamers/TheBible the page]].
* WordOfDante: Obviously, ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''. But also...
** The whole [[http://newprotestants.com/LUCIFER.htm "Lucifer = Satan" thing.]]
** The Antichrist/'false messiah' concept. Revelation describes a despot ruler and his false prophet, but there's nothing about him actually claiming to be any kind of Jewish messiah.
** Judas' motives (e.g. claiming he was a MiserAdvisor) for telling Jesus that they could have sold the oil and used the funds for the benefit of the poor.
** The fruit of the Tree of Knowledge being an apple.
* WordOfSaintPaul: Orthodox and Catholic Christians use historical extra-biblical tradition and history gathered over centuries, as well as bishops to teach and define Biblical texts to form their faith teachings. Protestant Christianity generally takes the Bible alone as the sole source of divine information. A few, such as the Mormons, TakeAThirdOption with tomes of their own to supplement.
