Can

you find the names of 25 books of the bible in this paragraph? This is a most

remarkable puzzle. Some one found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los

Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man from Illinois

worked on this while fishing from his johnboat. Roy Clark studied it while

playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman

judges the job to be so

involving; she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some

names that are really easy

to spot…that’s a fact. Some people will soon find themselves in a jam;

especially since the book names

are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are

forced to admit it usually

takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Something in our

genes is responsible for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them

will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation

may help books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. And

punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help

you compete. Remember, there are 25 books of the bible lurking somewhere in

this paragraph.

Ok Let's see how you go!

(Matthew21:34-41)?

34When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.

"The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.

37Last of all, he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said.

38"But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance.'

39So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40"Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"

41"He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they replied, "and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time."

1.Who is the vinyard owner who sends out his workers and then his son?

2.Who is the son here representing?

3 What is this parable describing?

to me (Matthew21:42-45)

42Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures:

" 'The stone the builders rejected

has become the capstone

the Lord has done this,

and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

43"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."

45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was talking about them.

What is the meaning of this passage or parable?

Who of you can show me where it says so in the Bible?I don't mean some vague refference to three persons or something similar, I want to see a clear and concise statementof this supposed fact I want real proof if there was any.

I am having problems including some graphics into my emails some just come out as a box with a red x in them yet others work fine does anyone know why this is happening, I have just reinstalled my computer with XP and it still does it, is it fixable and does anyone have any idea how?

Most people feel that all good people will go to heaven, most everyone wants to go to heaven, but, weho can tell me what exactly, they would be doinmjg there, what is the purpose of going to heaven?It's not just to be with God, or to party, scriptural references would be appreciated.

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, "Ahhhhh."

Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, "Ahhhhh!" Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?", but the only answer he receives is: "Who are you?"

This makes him angry, so he screams: "You are a coward!", and the voice answers: "You are a coward!"

He looks at his father, asking, "Dad, what is going on?"

"Son," the man replies, "pay attention!" Then he screams, "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

The father shouts, "You are wonderful!", and the voice answers: "You are wonderful!"

The boy is surprised, but still can't understand what is going on.

Then the father explains, "People call this 'ECHO', but truly it is 'LIFE!' Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love! If you want more kindness, give more

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS

An atheist was walking through the woods.

"What majestic trees!"

"What powerful rivers!"

"What beautiful animals!"

He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the

bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge

towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder

and saw that the bear was closing in on him.

He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He

tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up

but

saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his

left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!"

Time Stopped.

The bear froze.

The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

"You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't

exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident."

"Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count

you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be

hypocritical

of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but

perhaps

You could make the BEAR a Christian?"

"Very Well," said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear

dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head &

spoke:

"Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty

through Christ our Lord, Amen."

What will you do in heaven? Don't tell me to just be with God that's not what the Bible says, How can you say, you are going to heaven but not know what you will do there? The answer is in the Bible there is a purpose for which some people (yeah not everybody good)will go to heaven, what is this purpose?

1.didn't he say he is God(John10:36)36what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

2. why did God say he was his Son?(Matthew3:17)17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

3why did Jesus say that the Father is greater than he is?(John14:28)28"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

4.why did Jesus keep God's word not his own?(John8:55)55Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.

why did Jesusnot know when the day or the hour of the end would be?(Matthew24:36)36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

(Ezekiel38:2) "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him"

My Question is: Who is Gog? And where is the land of Magog? Can some one explain? Thanks in advance

George Carlin's View on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to

get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old,

you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never

thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!

That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You

jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but

hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . .

You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . YOU BECOME

21.

YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you

sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's

no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's

changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa!

Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you

REACH 50

And your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to

60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's

a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete

cycle; you

HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end

there. Into the 90's, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you

become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight

and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay

"them!"

2 Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts,

gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is

the devil's workshop." And the devil's

name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for

breath.

The Dying Preacher

An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his IRS agent and his Lawyer (both church members), to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom.

As they entered the room, the preacher held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling.

For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and Lawyer were touched and flattered that the old preacher would ask them to be with him during his final moment.

They were also puzzled because the preacher had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.

Finally, the Lawyer asked, "Preacher, why did you ask the two of us to come?"

The old preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too.

I have often read peoples answers, and questions, about how Jehovah's Witnesses have their own Bible, how they have rewritten it to suit themselves and how it is the King James Bible that is the most accurate can someone please explain to me how this difference in the King James old version and the New version is not a rewrite or taking the Name of God out of scripture?Anyone is welcome to answer research it please first!

Old KJVPsalm83:18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

NKJVPsalm83:18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD,

Are the Most High over all the earth

Yet in both Versions the words in the following scripture is virtually identical

Revelation22:18,19

But if Jesus is God, then, who, gave him the authority and why? I mean who needs to give authority to God, God already has all the authority, he doesn't need it to be given to him.Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought God is the highest there is none above him.????

Most people who believe, in God, think this question too easy, to give serious consideration to,because if you were to ask a believer in God, who is your God? They feel it could be very easily answered, by them presenting their own personal viewpoint, the answer would most likely be "well the God of the Bible".That's my God, but, now, can the question be dismissed with so little consideration? that is one just giving his own personal viewpoint as to who he says God is, for example: What does the God you claim to be yours, say of you as a worshiper? Does he acknowledge you as one of his servants?Does he accept your worshiper of his? Does jhe accept you as one of his worshipers?If not,then, even though he is God, he is not your God! So it's not just a matter of expressing one's viewpoint, saying my God is the God of the Bible, it must also take into consideration what does the God of the Bible think of you as a worshiper? and wether you are acceptable to him as one of his servants.

"Everywhere the New Testament sees a great conflict between the forces of God and of good, on the one hand, and those of evil led by Satan, on the other. This is not the conception of one writer or another, but is common ground. . . . The witness of the New Testament then is clear. Satan is a malignant reality, always hostile to God and to God's people."-"The New Bible Dictionary."

WHY, then, do many who profess Christianity-and who claim to believe the Bible-reject the idea that a real Devil exists? Because, in truth, they do not accept the Bible as God's Word. (Jeremiah 8:9) Bible writers, they say, reflected the philosophies of the nations around them and did not accurately convey the truth from God. A Catholic theologian, for example, writes: "Mythological ideas of Satan with legions of devils . . . penetrated from Babylonian mythology into early Judaism and from there into the New Testament."-On Being a Christian.

is it something to be feared or is it something to look forward to? What do you think?Please explain your thoughts on this.
