Bible Trivia questions

[Neighbor]

Individuals have worn everything from animal skins,  dust and ashes,  sackcloth, rent (torn) clothing, and armbands. All have been worn as symbols of remorse, grieving, and repentance, starting with Adam, Job, Jacob, David on through to today.

 

Mourning is more than hurt, it is also sorrow at personal loss, it is remorse, it is a process of acknowledgement, of repentance, and even regeneration. Without repentance of sin against God and the regeneration to receiving personal salvation the mourning is often unabated as well as unfruitful debilitating emotion.

 Matthew 7:21-23. Not ---- who says to me Lord, Lord will ---- the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who ---- the will of my Father Who is in Heaven.

everyone .... enter....does

 

Just happened to be wandering by.

Btw I do kinda like the Berean Literal Bible version that reads doing rather than does. Is doing - active -now. That seems to me to make emphasis that faith is an activity.

Luke 15:11-32 New International Version (NIV)

The Parable of the Lost Son

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robeand put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

Don't know, but now I wonder why is a 1970 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album playing in my mind?

Oh! I get it now. Some of these old analog circuits of my mind have tubes that have to warm up I guess. Strange how thoughts connect as one gets older, -quite older. Seems all things prodigal was filed under Nitty Gritty in my memory banks. It'll ne nice when it is all on flash drive.
