AN ODD STORY: THE BIBLE BILL or A CONFLICT OF THE GOOD BOOK in WAITING

If they use the bible in school they should also teach the history of the bible, as a collection/revision of ancient thoughts/writings and political motivation. Now that would be an interesting subject.

I am in favor of bibical teachings and of course the student has the option of being a believer or not... I think all of it should be included too referring to it's history and all those great ideals you've covered. Perhaps other states could follow? "Well..I just sayin'" It's a thought.

I'm currently reading I Maccabees, included in the original KJV but not the current KJV one now gets from the bible stores. This is one of the things I find most interesting. And what other writings were not deemed to be included in the bible, in ancient times.

Forgotten books of the bible are interesting and there's much history stored in those books. I've only nudged at a few forgotten books and I was just overwhelmed with so much as far as history and many stories of persons and lives of others during that time period.. I have to find that again.... I can see why you'd find it interesting. You have a far interesting journey Steve, but I think you'll come away with much additional knowledge. I'm not mad at ya!...Go for it!

Miisrael, you and I will never be mad at each other. That is the beautiful thing.

Smack! That's a cyber-kiss.... they're nice.

Hello Ms. Shields,

Why are you interested in studying and adapting the ways of the Jewish people when you are not a Jewish woman?
Really, is not that is what you are doing when you study the Bible you are studying the legacies of the Jewish people? Why would you put your race down to study the customs and ways of the Jewish people? Do you not think God could bless you and Black Americans the same as how God blessed the Jewish people?

Tell me what you think.

Harry, I asked about prophets. Let me see if this is a question you've answered or avoided.

Miisrael, back atcha!

Hello Steve,

You said this, “Let me see if this is a question you've answered or avoided.". I do not understand the question since you never mentioned what the question is. How could I am answer a question that is not asked?

Stop being stupid, okay.

Harry, the question (answer?) is on your blog. I know that you know what I'm talking about, the subject prophet that underlies all your postings, no matter what.

Hello Harry:

I study and admire the teaching of the Bible because I have the written Word that teaches me how and what to pleases the Lord.

This is done by obedience of his laws.

There is but one God and this God is the God of all races of people.
He is my God and I am Black.
