Hi GodsKid74, Welcome to the forum. Let me guess; you are a fireman, right? Do you think that your favorite verse here refers back to Isaiah 42:25? |

A fireman? Ummmmm......nope not even close! I am a Bible college student working towards a masters in Nouthetic counseling and inner city youth. Chapter 43 speaks of Israel redeemed. The chapter divisions didn't exist in the original. Chapter 42 is speaking of God's "Servant" in reference to Christ, and in some ways us. | ||||||

Greetings to you, GodsKid74. To be able to enjoy these user names is alone worth the price of a ticket to the forum :-) Ray missed on his guess about your being a fireman. I'll guess you are 27 years old. The Magi were definitely firemen; they came from a far to see the Christ child. In the favorite verse department, I like an "obscure" verse that not many know: John 3:16. It's the message of the entire Bible in a capsule. It's no accident that this is the best-known and most-quoted verse in the Bible. I've been a Christian 52 years and John 3:16 has never failed to stir my soul. Every good wish for success in your studies. The field you have chosen is indeed challenging but ever so much needed in our time. --Hank | ||||||

The reason you don't understand my joke about the Magi is you're likely not from Arkansas :-) Down here we pronounce "fire" as "far". So, they came from a far (a fire). John 3:16? Of course it's the best known verse in the Bible. I was merely engaging in understatement. At least I got the age right! I try to loosen up and enjoy the forum. A little levity aids my digestion. God gave us a sense of humor and I love to use mine on occasion. --Hank | ||||||
