What is the Bible about?

* The Lord Jesus said:-

'Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of Me.
And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.
(John 5:39-40)


* The risen Christ said:-

'And He said unto them,
These are the words which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with you,
that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law of Moses,
and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them,
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead the third day:
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name
among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And ye are witnesses of these things.'
(Luke 24:44-48)

* Paul said:-

' For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
And that He was buried,
and that He rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
(1 Cor. 15:3-4)

'For whatsoever things were written aforetime
were written for our learning,
that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures
might have hope.'

(Rom 15:4)

'Now to Him that is of power to stablish you
according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began,
But now is made manifest,
and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith
:
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. '
(Rom 16:25-27)

* Apollos:-

'And a certain Jew named Apollos,
born at Alexandria,
an eloquent man,
and mighty in the scriptures,
came to Ephesus.
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord;
and being fervent in the spirit,
he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord,
knowing only the baptism of John.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue:
whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard,
they took him unto them,
and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia,
the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him:
who, when he was come,
helped them much which had believed through grace:
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly,
shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.'
(Act 18:24)

:)
- Yes and he taught accurately about Jesus!

- And then he was taught more accurately by Priscilla and Aquila!

- Because he was an humble man!

- A quality essential to be a faithful servant of God!
 
- Is it possible to understand the Bible without feeling the book of Jeremiah?

- I don't think so because in this book God speaks about his deep feelings about !

- And we are told about the condamnation about Israel and Judah and mankind!

- By remembering what happened to Israel and Judah we can imagine what is going to happen to mankind!

- Nobody can say I didn't know!

- Anybody can read the Bible and study it and speak about it!

- It is easier to stay blind and deaf!

- But it won't help!
 
Interconnections






- We can compare the Bible and the brain!


- The brain and the Bible have two parts!


- Using only one part is like having a stroke and being hemiplegic!


- The brain has different regions and the Bible has different books!


- Our abilities depend on different regions!


- If one region of the brain is not used or is damaged implies that abilities are missing!


- Now a neuron can connect with a big quantities of other cells and neurons!


- The possibility to develop these connections is connected to stimulations and learning!


- It is the same with the Bible!


- The more books we study and speak about the more connections we develop between the books!


- The more knowledge we get!


- The reverse is also true!


- It only depends on us not on others!

- For a believer, when he doesn't study and speak about God's word daily it's like he had the brain of a child which doesn't develop!

- He can always decide to start again!

- And for the one who stops studying and speaking about God's word it's like having Alzheimer!

- If we don't breathe we die!

- If we don't study and speak about God's word we are dead spiritually!

Somebody said:


Life does live on in the body for awhile after death. Muscle stem cells can live up to 17 days, interesting things about life.

- My answer:


Coma.


Some people may recover from these states gradually, while others may not improve for years, if at all. See the page on disorders of consciousness for more information about these conditions.


People who do wake up from a coma usually come round gradually. They may be very agitated and confused to begin with.


Some people will make a full recovery and be completely unaffected by the coma. Others will have disabilities caused by the damage to their brain. They may need physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychological assessment and support during a period of rehabilitation, and may need care for the rest of their lives.


- I remember a youngster who was in coma for 2 weeks!


- He had to learn everything again (reading, writing, speaking, eating, walking, remembering...)


- Let's think about the astronauts when they come back from space!


- Just speaking about walking, the more they spend time in space the more difficulties they get to walk when they come back!


- Let's think about surgeons!


- They cut parts of the body!


- It seems like butchery!


- When Jesus spoke about death he compared it to sleep!


- That is being unconscious!


- In the Bible when people are resurrected they just walk as if they had been sleeping!


- In the Bible when people are cured it is as if they had never been ill!


- No butchery nothing!


- And in just a moment!
