Bible Versus Novels & Stories

Hindi man lang akong nag-atubiling basahin iyon. Nilingon ko si Papa. Nakahiga ito pero titig na titig ito sa kung anong bagay malapit sa akin. Hinanap ko ang mata niya ngunit talagang pokus ang mga ito sa bagay na iyon. Ang bible na binabasa ko. “That’s hers.” Tiningnan ko din ang librong hawak-hawak ko. Hindi ito malalamang bible sa unang tingin dahil sa sobrang dami ng mga colored papers na nakadikit sa mga gilid ng pages.

Aside from that, there's no harm in trying. I took out my phone and opened the bible app that came with it, and to my amazement, Mister Handsome was correct. "Proverbs 4:25 says, 'Let your eyes be straight ahead; fix your gaze directly ahead of you.'" The bible chapters from Proverbs were exalted. I suddenly recall something, and things start to make sense to my ear. "Wait! "I thought it was a romantic way of saying sorry?" I asked. "Well. As you can see, the Bible is chock-full of surprises." Mister handsome remarked, smiling.

"How often do you people come here? Rarely. And... . Well, it's not that; it's my faith." "What? Your faith?" "Yes, my faith has left gaps about this issue. I've been consulting with my fellow Christians all over the district, and they tell me I'd rather not go beyond what the Bible says." "The Bible... that book, it talks?" Odalo asked with the fullest deck of curiosity. Omolo chuckled and replied, "Well, you don't understand. The Bible does not just talk, it governs everything in our lives." "Oh, I'm hearing that for the first time today. So according to it, you're not supposed to take ten cows and three bulls and a few elders with you to Adoyo's birth-place to negotiate for her return. Is

"What contradictions? Do you mind backing your statement with an instance in the Bible where God contradicted himself." "Yes I can do that," I said, touching my brows with my hand again. "In the New Testament, there is a passage where God says he can't tempt man to commit evil. But in the Old Testament, God tempted Abraham by instructing him to kill his son and murder in the modern world is evil. Those two passages contradict each other. Do you care to explain why they do?" Uncle Max was silent. For a brief moment, he was silent. I watched as he closed his eyes and exhaled all the stress piled up in his chest. Even above thirty, he was still a handsome man.

She raised me as she stood, an attempt to leave the conversation but she looked back. “They’re both going to hell?” I added and she sighed. “Honey, i’m afraid yes. You know-” She sat back, but this time opposite, picking up a book. The one i see in church. “You see this, this is the bible. You always see that in church with everyone and the priest and you even have yourself” She said. “This bible basically tells how we christians are meant to live. Basically tells us the good and the bad and how bad the bad really is. And that, on the tv is really bad. Really bad” She remarked and i suddenly remembered the quote of grandma.

A pity," she says without pity. The just is a guide to his neighbor, but the path of the wicked leads to his downfall. Proverbs 12:26. "What kind of bible do you read?" —It is a simple phrase, I exercised both when overthrowing the Segreta Società . —Did you do it out of pride or selfishness? Did you want it all for yourself? He shakes his head.

Mr Faragher admitted. "Let me guess... revelations?" Damien asked with a knowing half smile. The teacher nodded. “I found it interesting in my youth.” "People are always interested in revelations, but unlike the rest of the bible, they aren’t accounts of things that happened, but dreams and portents. There's no guarantee it will go down that way." "Well there's no guarantee any of it is even r—" Mr Faragher started to argue. Damien cut him off. "I mean, imagine all the antichrists it mentions appeared at once. Wouldn't that be a doozy?"

Mace Leo replied, yet Iris was unsatisfied with her answer, she shifted her gaze around the room and it eventually landed on a familiar book, the book which can transform lives. "What can you say about the Bible? Many people believe in it yet some also disagree with the book. They're written by men, but certain people trust them or even worship them. For me, it's just a plain book like those ordinary tales." Those words which came out of her mouth somewhat offended the young lady, it felt as if a dagger were pierced into her chest and suffocated her.

Jennifer said shaking her head "Yea,but if we keep the laws and commandments and endure to the end things will change. The only reason why so many of our people went into slavery,why our people getting killed by the police,why our people killing and fighting each other,why so many children in our community is fatherless is because we're cursed by not keeping God's laws and commandments like we're supposed to" "Wow,so how do you know all of this stuff?" Jennifer asked "It's all in the bible,boo" Sophia replied. "The King James version. Don't read any other books unless it's the Apocrypha"

The voice made me remember a verse our pastor used as a sermon in the bible the last time I attended the evening bible study that always takes place every Tuesday. I can recall the verse very well that says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Take therefore the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, therefore, with your loins girt with truth and your breastplate of righteousness on. And with the preparation of the gospel of peace on your feet;
