Bible Versus Novels & Stories

Richard said as he looked at me and back at the fire, sucking on his pipe. “Are you ready?” Ben sat on the sofa beside me, and the cushions threatened to swallow us both into its comfort. Was I ready? Ready for what? He reached to pick up the King James Bible. Beneath it was various other books, none that I recognized except a translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Ozgur's words stopped, because now the bible had opened by itself. Then without being touched, the Bible scrolls through its pages. In the end, stopping to the old testament page. "Don't tell me the Bible tells us to guess the passage?" Zeus tried to calm down, but there was still panic there. Zeus was panicking, because this was a real nightmare. "You think this is Jumanji." Ozgur exclaimed. "In the Deuterocanonica (Roman Catholic canonical book) there are thousands of verses. How could we possibly guess?"

I'm not as good at explaining as I thought I was. "Oh not at all, the bible to me is more of a guide to this thing we call life. The stories in there are more of motivational stories, something that one can relate to. All the stories there just show you that no matter what you're going through, God can pull you out of it, even if you're the one who got yourself into it." "So is it wrong that I've never believed in him my entire life?"

"But why is that important? What makes it unnatural? Animals have incest all the time. Animals are also gay. It is not 'unnatural', it is just something some people don't like or that has been frowned on culturally." "What I am debating here is not if gay is right or wrong even though I believe it is wrong. Rather, what the Bible says about it." "The Bible has been translated and misinterpreted many many times," Marcus informed. "So, I look first at what Jesus did and said. He healed the centurion's lover and praised him, and never once said being gay was wrong." "True! There is instances of incest in the Bible. Anything said about homosexuality was condemnation. And in the case of the centu

I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. " Though it looks like we are abandoned... Like orphans... Yet I believe he's with us. " " He never fails and he won't start now. His words are true and so can be trusted. " " Recall... John 1:1 says, " In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God... And the same word came in form of flesh to live and die. " So Jesus is the word. And that's why, the Bible isn't just any book... It's God's words being spoken to us... So yeah... Let's believe it. Let's find comfort in it. As it's true. His words says, the word of God is sharper than any two edged sword... "

They also told me something that has kept me building myself these last months. They said, if you are a religious person or you follow such practices, there is only one verse in the Bible that talks of finding a partner. Which is find a partner who will go to war with you. No people may translate that different; religious people will say someone who will stand in prayer with you and be by your side at all times. People may say someone who will be with you through thick and thin. Out of all the translations I found,the common thing was find someone who can stand the changes of life with you, someone who with defend your honor as you will theirs.

He looked at Joseph and again he felt a mixture of emotions he couldn’t explain. “Have you told him about the Bible?” He asked Hansen. He shook his head emphatically. “I am scientist,” he said, “the Bible and I have our differences regarding the origin of man.” “And yet you did what you did,” David looked at him questioningly. Hansen was partly ashamed; to say that the Bible is wrong and to clone Jesus of Nazareth was like saying that witches don’t exist, but that they fly, they fly.

"OMG! Then the people that died in the war, they didn't die for the country, they died for one strange man? Ok this shit is getting complicated." Mercury said, removing her glasses. "There is something we absolutely are so blind to see yet. Mercury I am getting the Bible, let's know what the verse in Hebrews has to tell us." I went in and covered the bible with a blanket as I made out with it. I took it at the back of our camp where Mercury sat waiting for me. Yuvonne was not in the room when I entered. If not, she could have asked the heck out of me. "Okay, so. We will be looking at Hebrews chapter six versus nineteen" I said as I flipped the Bible to get the page. When I found it, I read o

He announced. I moved my hands closer to the green button. I am not going to leave out any chances or opportunities for her to win against me. I don't care about the mindset I have now. It's just the two of us. I will rather lose to another person than lose to her. "How many books are all together in the bible? Both new testament and-" I didn't allow him to finish talking. "Sixty-six books. Both the Old and the new testament." "Correct."

“The bible allows man and woman to enjoy sex as long as they are married, the Bible says that your body belongs to your husband and your husband’s body belongs to you.. Are you with your bible?” “Yes” “Open to Proverbs 5 vs 19 and read it out loud” after reading it she looked shocked “Open to Songs of Solomon 7 vs 7-8” she was stunned again “Open to Isaiah 66 vs 11” she read again “Oh my God” she exclaimed “I have never seen this before” she said
