LMAO it’s still Saturday for me. But happy Easter.
In battle, we are reborn.Me too! Maybe I should have waited until it was 5am in Jerusalem? Course, we don't know the exact time of the Ressurection. The women discovered an empty tomb and an angel.
What's you guys' favourite book in the Bible?
Too many to count, but Moses is my favorite so far.
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔I like Psalms. Very poetic.
In battle, we are reborn.Proverbs and the Gospels come to mind.
It's been 3000 years…From the Old Testament:
- Deuteronomy (Not particularly it's fun, but how useful I find it)
- Judges
- Kings
- Ecclesiastes
- Isiah
From the New Testament:
- Gospel of Luke
- Acts
- Romans
I was going to say Kings and Acts too! I love the stories of Elijah and Paul.
"Humans and robots living together in harmony and equality. That was my ultimate wish."I'm reading the Bible from beginning to end, and so far I'm in Corinthians II.
yo, the other freshman religion teacher is speedrunning the Bible with her kids. Everyone seems to hate her.
In battle, we are reborn.Oh, to be more specific, I'm trying to finish reading the Bible, I'm not reading it non-stop or anything like that. I'm just curious on reading the whole book. At first I stopped on Ezekiel.
Is it considered wrong to skip past stuff you dont find important or edifying, like the descriptions of the building of the temple, or the various genealogies or even the details of what types of sacrifices one should offer to God (especially since Christ made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us on the Cross)? Granted, some do find value in those passages.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily wrong to skip it, but it's important to know why they're there, like the rules about sacrifices have a lot of symbolism pointing towards Christ's sacrifice.
Also love the book choices, I've really enjoyed reading Habakkuk recently
I finished reading the Bible yesterday, and Apocalypse was... something.
The Book of Revelations sure is a trip.
In battle, we are reborn.I read somewhere that apocalyptic literature (the genre that Revalation and some of the old testament prophet books are) is based on making the real, unreal using dream imagery. And dreams are weird. So, for example, the destruction of a city or small nation might be described in world ending terms. It's the end for those people after all. Or you have the story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus going to Egypt to escape Herod being described as a dragon trying to eat a baby, but the mother and baby are rescued.
Blame the translators for translating the word for flying creatures as bird when the list has one creature that isn't a bird. And we're not under the old covenant(that was like training wheels) anyway.
