...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Holy Scriptures have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Live, yet Die and Live Again
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.-Acts 9:36-40***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was preaching, teaching and performing miracles among the Israelites, Jesus chose 12 of his disciples to be apostles and sent them only to their fellow Israelites, with the authority to heal sicknesses and diseases, cast out evil spirits, cleanse lepers, proclaim that the kingdom of God is near, and raise the dead. Sometime after the 12 returned, Jesus sent at least 70 others to heal the sick and preach the kingdom of God in towns that Jesus was going to visit. After Jesus was betrayed by the disciple and apostle Judas Iscariot, Jesus was arrested and crucified. Judas Iscariot killed himself. The crucified body of Jesus the Christ was prepared and placed in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. Afterwards, Jesus was resurrected, and Jesus was seen by over 500 people. Jesus told Simon Peter and the other 10 remaining disciples and apostles to preach the gospel and repentance and forgiveness of sins, baptize followers in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach believers to keep the commandments of the Lord. Jesus also told them of the signs that would accompany believers. On the 40th day after Jesus was resurrected, Jesus returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-9:43
