The Twist family studies the Gospel of John
Wayne:
Jesus walks in the temple in Jerusalem, in the porch of Solomon. People ask him "How long are you going to keep us in suspense?!? If you are the Christ, tell us straight up!"
He says "I already told you, but you don't believe. The works I do in the name of my Father testify concerning me, but you do not believe."
Still not exactly a straight up yes or no. ??? :-\
Wayne:
Jesus says "I give my sheep 'life age-during.' My father who gave them to me is greater than all. I and the father are one.
Well the folks in the temple figured that's a stonin'! They started picking up rocks yet again to throw at him.
What is this business with throwing rocks at people in church?!? >:( ::) Oh yeah I forgot - these are the self-righteous Jerry Falwells, Pat Robertsons, and Joseph Ratzingers of their day. For them, church is all about stoning people.
So they answered "We're gonna stone you not because of what you did but because of what you said. You are a man, but you make yourself God."
I guess, in a way it sounds kinda bad. :-\
Wayne:
Well so Jesus says, you know what? If you had read the Bible, you would know that God tells people "You are gods." (Psalm 82:6)
And if it's in the Bible, it has to be true, because you say that every single word in the Bible is literally true don't you!! :P :P :P
And it also says that All of you are sons of the most high. And now you're going to stone me for saying I am the Son of God?!? Who do you think you are?!?
Nyah, nyah, ni nyah, nyah!!!! :P :laugh: :P
They tried to grab him there in the temple but he got away. He went over to the other side of the Jordan River, where John used to baptize people, and stayed there a while.

I love it....I can just want to say "SNAP" ...

Artiste:
Thanks for the invitation wgj!
There was something about the Pharisees on TV yesterday... a few days ago... this week.
There are only few left... still living, apparently on Earth to-day; dozen or so??
I forget why that was mentioned, oh think it was about the history of writing, like the letters of the then alphabet.. they had something to do with it. Yes!! ??
And certain even Islamic books now found recently (last year was it?) has some of it, in the world's oldest Mosque?? But only recently said that we to-day can read it this [ Pharisees/i] language and writing!!
Of course, the Pharisees wrote before the arabs? Yes? The arabic language and letters are from the Pharisees?
I remembrnow that that was live on the French TV from France. So much interesting that I past way my bedtime - I could not help but look at it for nearly 2 hours... it seems;
there is now an arab history museum I think in Paris that may help?
What I understood finally was that some of our letters in our alphabet to-day comes from them these: Pharisees!!
I could never undertand that before, even if I had tried and tried!!
Did you see that on TV? That special show presented also Pharisees buildings, one or two cities; Babal too... was she Pharisees? She went somwhere to see a great and gave him what... like superb gifts, since she was afraid and so wanted to save herself and her queendom??
Awaiting your news,
hugs! Keep care... so nice to read your efforts and notes!!
