Bible Question:
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! |
Bible Answer: I'm not sure how true this is, but I heard a preacher say something that was interesting on this subject. This preacher has his Doctors degree, and I'll give you the web site at the end of this in case you want to hear the message. He said that he has heard that scientist now say that rocks not only reflect sound, but rocks also capture sound and the sound gets traped. The scientist say that one day they will be able to go to Mount Everest and pull out the actual voice of (I think it was Abraham Lincon). If this can be done, then God would have drug out the voice of Zacherias to Praise His name. The preacher said to give scientist a few years and they would catch up with the Bible. If you want to hear the message, you can go to the following web site and listen to the message by Johnny Pope. The message is titled, "A White Stone". http://biblepreaching.com/ I thought is was an interesting thought. I hope this is helpful to you. God Bless you. |
