BIBLE  STUDY

 

---

     In order to be chosen, as the scribe of this effort, an extended vacation had to be given, so that bible study could be the most important aspect of this individual's life.  Without fail, the bible was studied each day, for about ten years.  Even after the fulfilled mansions and noahhite concept began, an additional seven plus years of daily bible study continued, without fail.  The schedule that was adopted was to study two chapters of the old testament along with one chapter of the new testament, each and every day.  In addition to the disciplined daily bible readings, there were many times that the bible was studied very early in the morning, all day at times, and sometimes late in the evening.

     There were also times of going to sleep, listening to the bible on cassette tapes, for months at a time.  In other words, there had to be a major brain washing process, for this person to even be in the running for this privilege.  When the process started, there was no clue of what it might lead to, even though a vision had been received, several weeks before, pertaining to the cover of a book, including the title.

     Several weeks before the vision, "We stood at our turning point," was experienced, with profound unstoppable tears!  The third step prayer - page 63 in the original anonymous text book - had obviously been prayed wholeheartedly, and without reservation.  And effortlessly, while praying a sinner's prayer with an evangelist, on one of the many television ministries, this scribe was stood up from a yoga position while sitting on a sofa, without flexing a single muscle.

     Considering that there are some very large chapters in the bible, the following "monthly chart" is a format for reading the bible that is more balanced, than the way it was originally studied.  There are many study formats, just do a web search under "one year bible study", or "bible study plans."  And of course, we urge you to pray about the translation, that we believe the Lord would like for you to study, of his choosing for little ole' you.  Click here to see the all of bible's chapters and verses.

      In the years of study, many translations were acquired.  And when additional clarity was desired, pertaining to any particular verse, as to the possible meaning, all translations were studied, in hopes of gleaning additional possible understanding.  Let us be reminded of, "Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. " (Matthew 11:29 TB)

      Considering how much the medical community's portion of the overall economy has increased, in the last fifty years plus or minus, here in America, maybe we need to gauge how operative faith is, in our overall population; it use to be three percent of the GNP, now it is right at sixteen percent and ballooning, at the beginning of the twenty first century.  Faith has many perks, and is priceless.  Remember reading, in the bigbook, "a spiritual mode of living is a most powerful health restorative."

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "

But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"

Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe."

He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" ). Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. (Mark 5:24-43 NIV)
