Bible Question: Any thoughts to share about Jabez? |
Bible Answer: i have a thought about Jabez. I think it's pretty silly that the author of the book "Prayer of Jabez " just assumed things about Jabez. The prayer of Jabez is only, like, a few verses long, and that is the only time we hear about him throughout the Bible, but this author makes this huge deal about him and tells pretty much his life story. Also, The author says that when Jabez askes God to expand his territory, he means to reach as many nonbelievers and expand Christianity. I think all Jabez wanted was more land. |
