He believes that it is very important to read the bible by books. Not just by verses or chapters because it simply can’t be understood in the right context without reading the whole story.
I was also pretty enlighten about the period between the Good Friday and resurrection Sunday. Critics argued that between Friday to Sunday, it is just no 3 days and 3 nights as stated in the bible. However, our calendar today is based on the Roman calendar. According to Jewish calendar, a day starts at 6pm. So the timing here is confused because of the different calendar. Hmm, looks like I should read more.
Yet another interesting note. Not every word in the bible is the word of God. A good example is Ecclesiastes. God will surely not say this.
while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman among them all.

Written by Solomon. A man with 700 wives and 300 concubines. :-p
Every word in the bible is placed there for a purpose. What we can learn from this is a man with so many wives can't possibly know how to respect a woman.
Interesting huh?
