Bible Question (short): what does this verse mean? |
Question (full): I'm not quite sure what this verse means. Could anybody please help me interpret it. taken literally, i think jesus is simply telling us that somebody's gotta do the praising 'round here. so if the ppl won't do it, the stones will. i feel that it's a funny way of looking at it so maybe i could check some other points of view. somebody pls answer soon. thanks! |
