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.

Some Explaining

The Words of
 Jesus the Christ
 the Son of God:

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.-Luke 17:1-4***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was journeying across Galilee his with disciples, the disciples were attempting to decide which of them was the greatest. In Capernaum in Galilee, Jesus spoke to his apostle and disciple Simon Peter about the tribute money that all Israelite males were expected to pay each year for service at the temple in Jerusalem. Immediately thereafter, the other disciples arrived and asked Jesus about the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens. Jesus spoke to the disciples of being converted, and becoming as little children, and Jesus spoke of the kingdom of the heavens, and belief in Jesus, and those who cause others to sin, stumble or be ensnared, and Jesus spoke of trespasses, and repentance, and forgiveness.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John 1:1-26
