...................................................................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 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.

Understand, Man

And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.-Luke 11:37-44***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, approximately 30 years after he was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, the Pharisees were a group that despised Jesus. The Pharisees were Israelite men who followed the commandments, judgments, statutes, and laws that the Lord God gave to Moses for the Israelites, and the Pharisees followed the traditions passed down by the Israelite elders. Jesus proclaimed the Pharisees to be hypocrites and revealed that the Pharisees did not have true compassion for others, including when they dealt with widows, the poor, and those involved in disputes.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers 5:1-6:27, 15:1-41, 19:1-20:29, 27:1-31:54, Deuteronomy, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-28,34, 2:1-16, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 15:1-41, 23:1-35
