Bible wisdom quotes
1) “When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”
-Desmond Tutu
Back in past time of generations prayers of all special kinds were answered. Some were changing the weather in an instant or curing the sick or diseased one right away. These types of people with these prayer abilities don't really exist in modern times. The reason behind this is because the world has lost it's way. It isn't people in the past generations who has truly lost it's way it is us in modern times. In the past, when poverty, slaverism and kings and queens and executions of Christians existed people sincerely prayed to God out of need of help. We don't really have these in our generation so the world doesn't look for God as nearly as much.
2) “The Christian Bible is a symbolic (representing something else) book, not a literal one. The one Christians know as Jesus was actually a symbol for the sun. Ancient sun worshippers believed the sun died at the end of the winter solstice and then three days later it would be reborn at the start of its cycle - December 25.
-David Icke
The Christian Bible is a symbolic book, not a literal one in the sense that the Bible is all about just believing in it for what it is rather than us being able to fully comprehend it nor actually perfectly live that life. Before Jesus was born into this world and crucified on the cross, God's symbol was the sun and through God's voice Jesus' disciples wrote the Bible in accordance to it. God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit are one in trinity. We cannot understand this because it is meant to be just believed, in which is the core of Christianity. After Jesus was crucified on the cross three days later He resurrected and went above to Heaven, in which His birthday is December 25th.
3) “It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.”
-Mark Twain
The scriptures that cannot be understood doesn't bother us because we don't even know what it means, while the parts of the Bible that do bother us being what we do understand is because it is based on just obeying the scripture even when we know we can't completely on the long run. The Bible teaches us to turn the other cheek when being slapped. The concept of scope to this would be that that nonbeliever saw us in how highly we put ourself to look good to the outter public when we did it because the Bible told us to do so. How can we forgive someone who did us wrong when we didn't even do anything wrong. It is only right in our eyes that that person should be slapped for it to make things right. There are so many things like this in the Biblical scripture so this is why and how it bothers us.
4) “I read the Bible every day.”
-Denzel Washington
As a Christian we should read the Bible every day even if we read the entire Bible. As we continuously read the Bible there will come about new realizations and we must keep on reading the Bible without thinking we already know it all so what's the point ? When we think we know it all already is to put ourself in a situation where we aren't living the Christian life style. Each scripture should be heart felt and applied to our daily life.
5) “Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.”
-John Wooden
Helping others by being true to ourself begins with our mind and heart and our actions afterwards. If we help others out merely to look good, people will smell it right away, and it will come down to all ruins. The mindset of helping others should be a positive point of view and absent of all negative perspectives. Making friendship a fine art is what Jesus did when he was in our world. God wants us to build relationships with people but in Christ though. God knows of how important our relationship is and we can learn everything about relationship through His choice of expressions before He got crucified on the cross. Many people get sad when it rains and therefore they got complain instead of being thankful for shelter, in which is a blessing. We must pray for guidance every day because without prayer to God our life is not the life a Christian must live.
