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. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

Which One(s)

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.-Matthew 19:16-30***Before Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) left Egypt, the county wherein he and his wife Sarah (Sarai) and their nephew Lot temporarily stayed when there was a famine in Canaan,  Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave Abraham camels and other possessions. When Abraham sent his top servant to find a young woman to be a bride for Isaac, the only child born to Abraham and Sarah, the servant knew, after witnessing the care that Rebekah  displayed towards servants and camels, that the journey was successful, according to the will of the Lord God. When Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel) was in Haran, Padan Aram, in northern Mesopotamia living with Rebekah's family members, Jacob went from being a man with nothing except a staff, to being a man with 2 wives, Leah and Rachel, 2 maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah, 11 sons, a daughter Dinah, other servants, some camels, and more possessions. Sometime after Jacob returned, with his family, to Canaan, Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin was born, and Rachel died and was buried near Bethlehem. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt, and Jacob's children buried his body in Canaan, and the 12 sons and Dinah were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. A plague that the Lord God brought upon Egypt also came upon the Egyptians' camels. When the Israelites were in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, after being led away from Egypt by Moses and Moses'  older brother Aaron, they heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. While the Israelites, and those with them, were still in the region of Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses and Aaron commands for making distinctions between clean and unclean animals. Camels were not to be eaten by the Israelites. After Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, the Israelites often turned away from following the commands of the Lord God. Thus, the Lord God allowed enemies to attack the Israelites. At least once, the number of camels belonging to the attackers could not be counted. Solomon was from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Solomon became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. During Solomon's 40-year reign, the queen of Sheba visited Solomon in Jerusalem, the royal city. Her caravan of camels carried an enormous amount of spices, gold and jewels. Over 900 years after Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, became the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. In Judea, Jesus revealed a message regarding a camel.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 11:1-47, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 14:1-29, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-8:35, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?-Matthew 16:13
