Bible stories
I was thinking...what your favorite bible story...besides...the story of our Lord...God bless you all!
Comments
Also I like the story of the sinner woman who everyone was about to stone, in the trinity cd the song says "she stood there in the open, among a sea of hatred, filthy, wretched became her name, and on the stones they carried, were written her transgressions, she stood condemned until He came and wiped all her tears away and gave her new life", so it shows you that even if everyone hates you, God will never stop loving you, no matter how bad you are, He welcomes you with open arms if you will just come back to Him and repent
u didn't just tell the name of the story, u've even explained it and yea i really like this 1
my favourite storyIES (yea they r 2) r Moses story with the Israelites cos it's showing us when god is always with us promising us with a new life but we r still afraid and we fear everythin. miracles r seen and heard around us but we r still not placing our souls in His hands nor lifting our hearts up 2 Him
but i still don't know a lot about the meaning of this story!
and my second 1 is David's cos it tells that even the King was in afflictions and weakness sometimes and so we shouldn't complain about our lives when facing any kind of troubles or temptations.
the dont read the WHOLE book...
no one can read the whole bible!!
i never did and i will never do!!
Imagine giving a speech so that everyone who was listening was "cut to the heart" and that they killed him even though his face was shining like an angels... I can never stop reading this story...I love St. Stephen
There are many people who have read the whole Bible, and not just once, but many times. If you are convinced that you will never be able to read the whole Bible, then you never will. If you read about 3 chapters each day you can read the entire Bible in just one year.
i knew that cos like when i was about 10 and i read jesus' story it's sooo different when i read it now! i understand more and i accept more!
maybe older people!!
its possible lol dont lose confidence in yourself ;D
how about we pray for each other to finish the bible before 18? sound good? ;)
I HAVE NOT
anyways: FANTASTIC IDEA!
so i'll pray 4 u 2 so would u plz pray 4 me?
P.S. My dad read the bible a couple times...
Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.(matt 21-28)
From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden. For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.” (mark24-30)
Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
plz some1 explain ??? ::)
This gentile women tho by saying that even the little dogs eat crumbs from the table means that she is proclaiming her faith in Him...and because of this He healed her daughter.
I think its something like wen St. Paul was rejected by the Jews, he went out from among them saying "from now on I go to the gentiles."
Basically the children are the Jews, and the dogs are the Gentiles. When Christ said this, he was testing the woman's faith. To explain her response, she means that even the Gentiles get a part of God's mercy, which is why Christ healed her daughter, because that meant she had faith in him.
now it is easier thanks christ4life!!
but above the gentile or jew... let us just examin how this woman was very humble... that she even compared herself to the dogs...
wow that's nice!
