Bible Stories with Deeper Meanings... (Animation) 

Have you got any deeper meanings you've discovered in your Christian life?

Been studying the bible 30 years, theres no end to its treasures, i love it. I love knowledge and learning, even more so Gods word.

I am a pastor and I did NOT know the depth of those stories. Well done, well organized, and I enjoyed the presentation. Thank you for faithfully representing scriptures.

The Face cloth revelation was spectacular!! ❤️🔥 The Temptation of Jesus was also very revelatory, thanks for that!

The Pig part, I read the scripture this morning and was wondering the same thing. God's timing is perfect😊😊

With men it’s impossible but With God it’s Possible

I literally shout "Hallelujah!!!" at the face cloth's passage. I got attracted to that detail in the Scripture since I first heard it and I ever wandered what exactly would that face cloth detail mean! This made my day. Thank you!!!

The last verse, about the folded cloths that had wrapped his head, always amused me since I’m a house proud Mum who loves things neat and tidy!! Thanks for explaining the deeper meaning- but I also still like to think Jesus loves order things in their place 😆🤣

"I'll be back" would have sounded more cinematic 😂😂

About the ear being cut off, I understood also that Peter was acting on zeal without wisdom and so forth cut his ear, making his approach, one that lacks compassion. The servant therefore would not have "ears to hear" But when Jesus approached his enemy with compassion and grace, with perfect zeal and perfect wisdom, he(Malchus) had "ears to hear again"

I was blessed as a teen to have a youth minister that was a Bible language scholar. He took the time in our classes to go over the tougher sections of Scripture and gave us their meanings through word studies of the Aramaic and Hebrew traditional msanings. We also did an extensive look at other religions to understand why we believed the Bible. So, I was fortunate to hear these explanations in the early 80's. I did particularly like your explanation of the "shortcut" to Christ's kingdom and the miracle of the ear removing Peter's guilt by removing the "crime". Thanks again for your videos!!!!!

About the eye of the needle, I know it is a popular interpretation, but most scholars nowadays reject it, because there is simply no evidence the gaye was called the eye of a needle. It seems to be made up somewhere in the High Middle Ages. Actually, it even kind of defeats the meaning of the passage. With this interpretation, a rich person being saved is really difficult, but not impossible. Yet Jesus says that for men salvation is impossible, but for God all things are possible

My understanding of the demon possessed man was not that the man's name was "Legion" but that he was possessed by 2,000 demons, therefore by a "Legion." That they went into 2,000 pigs suggests that each demon went into one pig.

You're a happier person since you've deepened into the meanings. How free & happy you feel when coming towards the truth right ? Impressive work.

The face cloth and the camel is spectacular.... Wow the legion is just pure revelation!!! #kingdomWisdom Thank you for this may God continue to reveal to you so you can share more 🙌🙌🙌🙌

The sword part was POWERFUL. Wow.

This is the first year, I’m almost 66, that I’ve had a real passion to learn all that I can about my Savior Jesus Christ. I’ve studied, listen to excellent Bible teaching on You Tube, and seeing content like this just makes learning even more exciting and fun. Keep what you’re doing. Btw this is my first video of yours I’ve seen and I hope to learn much from you! Keep up the good work!!

He's coming back. Amen. God bless you bro.

When you said, "anyone who actually knows these," I admit that I was thinking, "pfff...I watch so much stuff, I'll bet I for sure know them." So I watched. And I found indeed: I did know of all of them, and then I realized, "pfff...I watch so much stuff," and that I likely have a problem of time management. I remember learning the eye of the needle thing is popular but also likely not actually in scope, but it's an awesome thought! So I still like to think of it. For the first one: CS Lewis said something brilliant that corresponds nicely with the temptation also: "We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means - the only complete realist."

Dude this is literally insane. I've read those passages for years and I never knew these! Keep doing kingdom work!!!

The pigs and swords were new for me. Very intriguing. With the eye of the needle, that view has become quite popular on social media, and is very interesting, but it doesn’t have 1st century support. This gate was not called the eye of the needle till the Middle Ages. It is very interesting, and exciting to find possible different interpretations than we’re used to, but sometimes they hold up and sometimes they don’t. Something you may want to look into that I’ve found that I think is very interesting is the rock Moses strikes in the wilderness. 1 Cor. reveals that it was a picture of Christ. Check out the Hebrew word for when Moses “strikes” the rock and see how else it is used, especially in Isaiah and see how the cross plays into it, then check out the significance of the water (some key passages are Ezekiel 47, John 4 and John 7).

the last one is litterly a movie surprise 10000 whaha wow

The Holy Bible NT is multidimensional and timless and has many different divine teachings in each story 🤲

Thank you for making this! My 6 & 7 year old kids were very engaged because of the way it was presented. We even did a reenactment with their dolls to better understand Peter and the ear. Can’t wait to watch your other content! Keep up the great work❤

The thing with the sword may also be seen as a mirror to giving us our choices in life- we have the free will to use what is given. In that case, the ability to lay harm. Though it was maybe seen to be justified (protecting our Lord) it was still a sin. And despite the act, good or bad, as you said- God lifted the sun and left us clean.

I absolutely love understanding The Word of God, and i have wondered about all of these verses as i read them....i am so excited to have gained more wisdom into these stories so that i may share them with others!! Praise God, Hallelujah!

I dont think the eye of the needle is miss interpreted, but rather the camel, since a camel in hebrew also refers to a thick rope an anchor could be attached to. Similarly to the “gate interpretation”, it is possible, but takes time and sacrifice, so the message still stands either way.

I like the one about Peter and Jesus removing the evidence. I hadnt heard of that or the roman legion one before. I dont agree with the eye of the needle interpretation, id like to see historical evidence for that. Im not entirely sure Satan knew about the cross because he is the one who entered Judas to betray Jesus so that he would be crucified. But that doesnt mean the temptation from Jesus's perspective wasnt legit....good explanation. I like this video. It makes these passages interesting tonpeople because of the animation, also you get to expound on bible truths. There are so many more examples you could do this with, ive heard hundreds of sermons over the years from the gospels that have done this. Amen brother. :)

hey mate, great content! keep em coming! i only knew one of the 5 points so i learned a lot from this video. anyway, speaking about biblical events with deeper meanings, i heard a theory awhile long ago that blew my mind about why Jesus had to go through baptism despite being perfect. so Jesus had to fulfil 3 roles - priest, prophet and king, for the roles of priest and king, he had to check off certain boxes. as king, Jesus had to be of the Davidic dynasty via the lineage of Judah, but as we all know, that side of business was already well established as per his genealogy in Matthew 1. as priest, it was a little more complex as there had to be special procedures through ordination that could grant him this post. according to OT legislation, there can only be one high priest serving at a time and he had to be properly ordained. a typical ordination ceremony after a candidate had complete his studies at 30 years old would involve ritualistic cleansing, anointing, followed by the laying of hands and the declaration of the candidate's inauguration into the priesthood to the assembly. in Jesus' time, there were two high priests - annas and caiaphas. the reason for that is the romans didn't like the existing high priest in office, annas so they shoehorned in a second one, caiaphas, acting on their behalf as their puppet to control the jews. This corruption of this sacred office delegitimised their posts as high priest. that being said, john the baptist, who was a levite of the aaronic priesthood (evident by the fact that his dad zechariah was too a priest), had ordination rights. At the start of His ministry when he was 30, Jesus was immersed by john (ritualistic clensing), had the Holy Sprit descend on him in the form of a dove (anointed) then was introduced to the assembly by God the Father Himself ("this is My Son in whom I am well pleased"). in this, He was legitimately ordained as our great high priest. Not sure how legitimate this theory is, but it blew my mind when I came across it. Can you verify?

I new 3 out of 5. Great video man, God bless you!

HalleluYAH! I knew only the napkin folded. Thank you for the others! 💪📜🕯🌾

Thank You....!!!!! Love Of CHRIST❤ from Nepal..!!!

So...I knew that last one about the face cloth. I've heard it a good five times or so, and now again through you. But the others were knowledge for me. Context is key - especially in the study of something we do not fully understand, due to the lack of an understanding of culture of the time/country. I only found your videos two days ago, and I love them so much. They're helping me so much with my faith journey...!

Nice teaching, thanks mate... What's your opinion of John 14:12? How can we do greater than Jesus...? Always wondered what He means by this

This was so insightful and praise God for giving you the answers you were seeking! God bless brother!

I laughed and smiled with tears streaming down my cheeks as I watched these deep meaning scriptures 😭😭

I didn’t know ANY of these but wow was I blessed by this! Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our awareness, I love how deep Gods Word is!! Wooohoooo ❤❤❤

5:05 It's an interesting take, but I still sorta think that he meant a literal eye of a needle, because thereafter someone says "Then who can be saved?" And Jesus says "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible". It was not impossible for a man to forsake his money, nor was it impossible for a camel to go through the Needle-Eye Gate. I always took the verse of scripture to mean that God could save anyone, even a rich man. I'm not a scholar though, so this is just a layman's take. But that's what I thought at least.

I learned a few new things from this video, thank you! I would like to add something to the first and second points. The first: Yeshua was going through the same temptations (in order) that the Israelites in the desert went through. Yeshua quoted from the torah/law aka Instructions to rebuke the devil. Yes, we still ought to keep His commandments. The second: Israel are His sheep other nations are compared to unclean animals. (see the apocrypha but also remember the cloth with all the unclean animals) The image you mentioned concerning the 10th legion made even more sense to me now. I really liked that detail.

As you said I kept my word you're video was a blessing indeed I have subscribed to your channel ❤ May God bless us all on Easter 2024❤

Please create a part 2. Tremendous work!

Absolutely amazing video. You have answered so many questions. You have earned another sub. 🎉❤

I discovered your channel today and now I’m binge watching your videos. This is the first video I ever saw that was yours so I came back to add this comment. Keep up the great work brother and may God continue to use you for His Glory and Honor.

2:00 The devil didn't actually know that Jesus was God. That revelation was hidden to Him at that moment.

I didn't know a single one of these! Thx so much for sharing the word of God!

This video is a prime example of why the Apostle James wrote, "Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness." This video is spouting falsehoods as if they were deeper meanings to scripture. This practice is inexcusable. If you love God, you need to take this video down and study for a few more decades before presumptuously attempting to teach false man-invented doctrines as fact. The problem with this video is that over and over again it teaches as settled truth some very fringe ideas that are demonstrably false through logic and history. Jesus was not making a reference to his ability overthrow the Roman Empire in any way, shape, or form when he cast evil spirits into swine. Read the account! The spirits REQUESTED to go into the swine. This was not Jesus' initiative in order to make some obscure political point. The interpretation of Jesus' reference to the eye of a needle as an allusion to a feature of a city gate is patently false...it's as much a myth as the idea that Jesus and Mary Magdelene had kids, or the nonsensical idea that the phrase "sons of God" in scripture refers to spiritual beings like angels who do not possess physical reproductive organs yet somehow could produce physical offspring via women. These ideas have no place alongside scripture. Do your research on the eye of a needle. Take your research back to the writings of Josephus and the earliest church fathers. You will discover there was no common understanding among the people of that time that in their minds connected a city gate to the eye of a needle. There was no gate of any city known as the eye of a needle. The interpretation of the facecloth is on its face nonsensical. Jesus told them IN PERSON that he was coming back, so there was no reason to send an obtuse message to that effect that then would be superceded by his actual presence over the next 40 days. Besides, no Jew would associate the UNCLEAN burial face cloth with a CLEAN napkin that would touch their lips while eating. (Remember Peter's later objection in the book of Acts that nothing unclean had ever touched his lips?) How did these myths originate? They all started somewhere in history when some presumptuous would-be teacher jumped to a conclusion and taught his conclusion as a factual "deeper truth". Then undiscerning others followed suit, and eventually the extra-Biblical fake "revelation" was taught as tradition. It all starts when those who shouldn't presume to be teachers decide they know enough to teach. Why do these myths endure? Because arrogant teachers in the present day continue to propagate the false ideas as factual deeper truths. And just because some other observations are a surprise to the video's author, such as the nature of Jesus' temptations, that does not mean they are deeper meanings. It just means the author is a beginner in studying scripture. It's arrogance for a teacher to presume that personal incredulity equates to deeper truth, or that their initial assumptions and expectations which they projected on scripture were legitimate interpretations. Distorters of truth always start by misinterpreting truth through the lens of their own patterns of thinking and what makes sense to them. The false teacher arrogantly sets up his mind as the arbiter of truth, not realizing that the truth transcends his mind's ability to comprehend it. Where's the humility in the ideas you present? Where do you acknowledge.that your conclusions could be the wrong, false ideas that they actually are? The real problem here is the video author's idea that all scripture should just naturally "make sense" to us. That idea is arrogant. The idea that the mind of God should be comprehensible by our minds is hubris. God will always be a mystery to us, and we will always struggle to fully understand, just as the Apostles did who heard Jesus speak in person. We will ponder God's mysteries for a lifetime, and still never be sure. That's all the more reason this video creator currently needs to step down from attempting to teach others what he clearly does not understand and has not spent enough time researching. Spreading this misinformation is worse than having said nothing at all. Please take this video down, and put a few more decades of study under your belt before you presume to teach the principles of scripture which you don't understand to thousands of others. Put yourself under solid teaching and mentorship first, until you reach the point where you can readily acknowledge, “I don't know.” Though followers of Christ must certainly be able to have dialectic about these things, this video does not present these ideas as merely ideas, but as deeper truths that are settled. That's the arrogance of this video. It's the teaching of false ideas and interpretations as if they were inalienable truth. It's the projecting of oneself as a spiritual authority prepared to teach others, when one's understanding is not fully formed and mature.

The parallels here are fantastic! I hope you do more of these

40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness was old. Testament example and prophecy. Christ was fulfilling not only the 40 years of the Jews in the wilderness and overcoming temptation in his time. He was fulfilling what was spoken of him in the old Testament by the prophets literally quoting quotes from Psalms and so on. The legion of Demons chose to go into the pig for a pig has no sweat paws. Demons live within saltwater hosts. They knew if they were in the herd of pigs. There was no way out other than death into the ocean where they dwell. .. Also recognising Christ and trying to stumble him by calling him the son of God at which point he was only son of man for he has not gone through the resurrected Ascension yet … love Jesus love the word oh and JESUS was cast away from those people where he had shown his power by casting Demons out of a man they found their animals and livestock more valuable than the treasure of what they had just witnessed The living son of God ✊🏻 The significance of the desert also corresponds with the goat Azazel the fallen angel Satan and a Jewish practice of sending the goat into a desolate place with their sins building on that died on the outskirts Of the temple saving the entire world , When the choice was given Barabbas or Christ, a man blameless and innocent lamb in Jewish tradition would’ve been a goat carried the sins as the guilty walked free corresponding with the old Testament and the old way making all things new in him for filling the new covenant his blood ! Hope this finds any reader well and if you found this information interesting please take the time to listen to Hebrews the entire book of Hebrews. It’s the greatest hidden treasure in the new Testament corresponding with old and New scripture fulfilment and covenants and promises and faith. It’s brilliant life changing. Jesus loves you Peace From just a follower of the way 🙏🏻

Just discovered your channel and really enjoyed this video. Thanks! It must take a LOT of effort. I knew about the 2nd and 3rd meaning, but the others were incredibly powerful. Especially No. 4. Somehow never thought about that... But it's also a reason, why Peter ends up somewhat 'paranoid'. After that whole ear-cut fiasco, you can imagine him wanting to hide. There would have still been soldiers around possibly seeking his arrest. So his denial of Jesus was a 'life-saving' measure. But those who save their lives, will lose it... ;)

Jesus sent the pigs and demons into a lake, foreshadowing the end. Pigs and demons represent uncleanness. Luk 8:33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned. Rev 20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

quite interesting meanings for me the turning point is the following verses: 24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” 26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” 28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20.24-29

3:21 that's Tai Lung's Shadow! Sheeshh!

The eye of the needle gate is a myth meant to soften the words of Jesus. It is, in fact, impossible for anyone to get to heaven. He used a rich man as an example because they believed the rich to have God's favor and it made it even more hard hitting. The point was that only God can save, and when He does, He has done what is impossible for us. 1 John 2:16 also parallels the fall. "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate." the point is that Adam failed the temptation of Satan (Adam was with Eve and ate as well) but Jesus, the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45), succeeded where Adam failed. Jesus is the greater Adam.

7:40 Aren't these already a part of Christian Theology? If so why 12 months for research? Are you not taking information from reliable Christian sources?

@bibleanimations9033 Can you please provide your sources. The eye of the needle being a gate (from my research) is pure speculation and have found it very difficult to find the origination of this speculation. Jesus says it's impossible but with God all things are possible. Be careful to not not misrepresent the meaning of the scriptures with pure speculation. Love the animations and you have done a great job and please go for it but i think you need to do more research brother before presenting some of this information.

Why would you Lie! Luke 22:25 does not say go buy swords. Jesus did not instruct to buy swords. 90 % of your stuff was sound until you twisted the story of the cutting ear. The devil did the same thing one small doubt is all it took.

The one about the face cloth could have another meaning. Carpenters at that time used such face clothes (napkins) to signify that they were finished with their work (in carpentry)and the next person should now take up their own task on that item. They folded the cloth and placed it on the item to show that the work is finished, just like Jesus said while on the cross. So, it could mean that yes, Jesus is certainly coming back, after completing the work He had come to do on earth at the time. (Dying for our sins)

what stinks is that if you get one of these verses misinterpreted then it creates doubt for the viewer on the validity of the rest of the interpretive claims. I wish you did some more research because your interpretation of the "eye of the needle" is verifiably wrong historically, philosophically, and theologically. And the real shame is that one wrong take makes the whole content questionable. Now thank the Lord that some of your interpretations are correct and verifiably accurate, but some are not. I KNOW you are not disingenuous nor ignorant. But sometimes we want to see something in the Bible that is not there. We are fallible.

Satan didn't know about the salvation plan properly. "If the princes of this world had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory"🎉 3:01

6:19 doesn’t make sense. Why would Jesus say sell your garments and buy spiritual swords??

You got yourself a new subscriber. This was such an eye opener

I honestly didn’t know those five deeper meanings. Thank you for explaining it. God bless you and peace be with you brother 🙏

Great job! Can I request a foreshadowing from OT to NT series in the future? haha

Mind blowing secret deeper meanings and nicely put too, love d animation coz my children are gonna love it all. Thank you for all your effort and thanx for sharing. Peace.

I'm a Christian and I love Jesus Christ is almighty God is good 🎉😊

The temptation of the Christ was also the same given to Adam and Eve.

Wow bro! Amazing work. Love the detail and extra wisdom glory to God! Keep up the good work

The end bro 💀💀 "straight HERESY" 😂😂

in minute 5:48 Is Luke 22:25 correct?

Excellent video!

4:30 we will do everything not to give up our money haha

My jaw dropped through the entire video! 😮

5:00 thank you very much for explaining this, it's something my Dad said to me a little while ago but naively without fully understanding its depth, nor did I. Can't wait to share this with him, thank you.

God bless you dear. I'm also recording prayers on my channel for all the believers and even for all people on this youtube platform. I'm open to share blessings on each and everyone whether believer or disbeliever. I welcome everyone to join our community and share lord's blessings and be a part of this change. May god bless everyone with good health, peace and joys. Thank you.

This is beautify bruh!! Loved it...

❤ well-done! More than just being there, sharing God's secrets as they have been revealed to you is worth it! It's nice video Go ahead! Thank you for serving God❤

Brilliant video. Thank you. God bless you. I wait for second, third and tenth part. hahahaha

Keep doing this great works......🎉❤

I had heard numbers one and three, or something close, but the others were new to me. Can't wait to check out your other videos!

I'm an atheist but I love studying the bible and your videos make it even more interesting. Keep it up dude!

Just found you. You're great at sharing the word. I subbed ✝️

I assure you I learned new things today ❤

There are no facts, only interpretations😂

Revelation 22: 20-21 “He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.” (NASB) This video was indeed a blessing. I thank God for giving us wisdom through His Holy Spirit to understand His Word. God bless you brother as you share His Word. ❤️

May Our Lord and Saviour bless you brother 🙏

I had completely forgotten about the passage where Peter cuts off the servant’s ear. It’s notable to me now because Jesus tells the disciples not to do something, but when Peter does Jesus not only forgives him but also fixes his mistake. Bravo, thanks for resurfacing this passage to my memory!

Thank you for enlightenment 👏

you just gained a sub!! So good!! 🙌🏽 thank you for sharing what God reveals to you. God bless!

Discovering this in a spiritual drought is refreshing ❤

It took me 26 to truly understand the meanings, I'm glad I watched this video I've learned something important 😊Thank you ❤️🙏

Awsome info my bro i got 2.5 our of 5

Five got me! I’ve never heard that before but that’s very interesting. Just finished binging your videos and I love it! May God bless you brother and may we continue to have opportunities to share, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of God, His Word, and the work of His Holy Spirit through your work!

I may have heard things about those thing, but I never myself got them so clearly as right now! That encourages me to study more about the bible. Not being at the surface, reading a usual, but looking for deeper meanings. Thanks, bro. God Bless you!

Dude. This is so powerful. Good on you. These explanations are brilliant and help me understand God's word so much better. Thank you. I have subscribed

Love this, thank you!

#4 and 5 are really interesting thank you!

God bless everyone Amen!

The Simplicity of Salvation in Christ: Just BELIEVE? Many false teachers push a hyper-grace, or free-grace, OSAS no matter how you disobey & misbehave. This is false doctrine. They love to refer to “The Thief on the Cross” as an example to push their heretical teachings and to prove that, to be saved; All You Have To Do is “JUST BELIEVE”. Let’s take a deeper look, shall we? The book of James teaches us that even the devils believe and tremble. So, just believe huh? Is that what the Bible really teaches? The Crucifixion: Luk 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. Luk 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. Luk 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Luk 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 1. The thief on the cross was REPENTANT! 2. He feared YEHOVAH-God & Reverenced His Son-Yeshua the Messiah. 3. He demonstrated openly that he loved His neighbor as himself, when he rebuked the other malefactor, thus fulfilling the; 👉 Royal Law👈 on which hang all of the law & the prophets. The Great Commandment: Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Deu 6:5 Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Lev 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shall rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Mat 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Mat 9:13 But 👉go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Messiah is quoting Hosea 6:6-7: Hos 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hos 6:7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Glory be to God.

some parts of the bible may seem contradictory because we don't understand. thank you so much! I really liked the Camel one... you should do more of those. (helping people understand what these confusing terms mean)
