Jesus is Everywhere!

The following are pictures of the face of Jesus in bizarre places. He is with us everywhere, I suppose.

• 

A picture was captured of Jesus in the clouds.

• 

On the left someone popped their toast out of the toaster, and Jesus' face appeared!
And on the right the face of the Virgin Mary appeared on a grilled cheese after it was taken off the frying pan. Talk about breakin' the bread!







A person took a bite into a Kit Kat bar and claims to have looked down and have seen the face of Jesus... sort of. Break me off a peice of that... Jesus!







A family breakfast turned religious when a mother opened a jar of Marmite to put on her son's toast, and WHAM... Jesus face.






Here, Jesus was found after someone had fried some pot stickers! Nice choice Jesus. Those are delicious.






Before someone could get to soaking their pots and pans, this face of Jesus appeared on the bottom of the grease.






Have you ever gotten ready to peel back a banana and seen the face of Jesus in the bruised fruit? Neither did this lady until she pulled it from her fruit bowl! Another form of Jesus in fruit, he appears in this orange soon enough to been seen before someone sliced it further.





Someone searched on Google Earth a farm in Hungary and were
astonished when the face of Jesus appeared on their map.
Holy Cow!

Why haven't I finished the Bible?

I haven't finished the Bible yet for several reasons.

1... well, I may be a slow reader, and the Bible is more complex and full of meaning than any literature I have yet to encounter.

2... I read a Book of the Bible and gain my own understanding of the story. And then I read Plotz

to compare how accurate my understanding is as compared to his. So, this takes some time.

3... To read the Bible to it's entirety takes more time than I am able to put forth in a given semester along with all my other readings.

After reading the above accusations as to why I haven't finished, do not let me fool you into thinking I won't finish! Because I will. I want to be able to not only proudly say that I have finished the Bible, but hold a valid argument and to articulate my thoughts about the Books in the Bible with any Bible thumper out there. I'll show them what it really takes to thump it after having read it from cover to cover! :) ... And I also want to finish it for myself. I, so far, have been introduced to some of the most wonderful stories I have yet to encounter and have negated all mundane views of the Bible I have once had. I want to continue to dive in head first, with no armor, but prepared to take on the headstrong battle of interpreting it for myself.

Biblical Brawl

I had a conversation about the Bible with a Jehovah's Witness. He is a man that lives in my neighborhood, and I am a friend of his daughthers who are not Jehovah's Witnesses, something he is not happy with. So, as we started the conversation, he wasn't happy with me from the beginning, as one could imagine since he is very passionate for his religion, and thinks that everyone else should be as well. And I wasn't there to talk about his religion. I was there to discuss, the Bible. And I told him that. So, our conversation continues on vigorously. He told me that the Jehovah's Witness version of the Bible was the most accurate version of the Bible. I didn't laugh, or sneer, or even scoff at him. I simply asked him who wrote it? He could only reply that 100% of the Bible is inspired by God. By that being his only reply, it was obvious he had not read the Bible, even the Jehovah's Witness Bible, and I having read at least through Psalms, wanted to ask a few more questions.
"Are you familiar with the first book of the Bible about creation?", I proceed to ask him.
"Well, every Bible is a little different", he quickly shoots back. I am not looking to get in an argument at this point, I just want to see if he's read any Bible, or just the type, as we say in class, that claims to read the Bible, but never does.
So, I calmly ask, "Oh you know the story of Adam and Eve, and when God creates the Earth, what's the name of that Book in the Bible?"
I'm obviously playing dumb to make him more comfortable to answer, a bit satan like of me don't you think? :)
He just looks at me strange and replies, "We talked about that story all the time at my old Kingdom Hall I used to go to in Chicago." (Kingdom Hall is the Jehovah's Witness Church. I wasn't aware of this either.)
"It's called the Book of Genesis in the Bible" I inform to him.
He mocks me and says, "Well, The New World Translation of the Bible may be different and is more accurate."
I ask to see his Bible. He shows me it and I turn to the first Book. The Book of Genesis appears before me, and throughout the Book the scriptures are a little different a re-worded but nonetheless, the meaning is there. I show him his Bible, and I show him mine. I think he is a little astonished at this point.
"They're both here, pretty cool huh?" I tell him.

I think I learned from my discussion with him that he may have learned a lot about his religion by going to his Church and listening, but he never got the full meaning of the Bible by reading it for himself. He didn't even know the name of the first Book, or even that the story of Genesis was he opening to the Bible, even the opening to his Bible. It makes me want to finish the Bible even that much more so I can take into the account the meaning of the Books of the Bible for myself, instead of leaving it up to someone else to interpret them for me.
