Bible Puzzle Answers!!!

Well, it has been a week! Please, for your own fun, don't look at my answers before you do all you can! Here it is:

There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend for Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing the banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving the puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are real easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in the paragraph. During a recent fund raising event which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Hummana humbly puts it, the books are right there in plain view hidden from sight. Those able to find them all will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know all the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus, there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in the paragraph waiting to be found.

Please tell me if you find some that we have not! :)

What detail! Who could have made it?

Who could have designed this gorgeous flower? Who could have made this flower? And here's the big thing, who could have made this flower out of absolutely nothing? God did. He is so awesome! He made not only this flower, but every plant and animal in the world! And not only that, He made us, all of us! He made each of us unique, in His own image! How much better can it get?!?!

Now, just think about this for a second, if God is so powerful and awesome and wonderful and creative, then why don't we praise Him every time we see a beautiful flower, or tree, or animal, or even a human being? Why do some people ignore the fact that everything is so perfectly created? Why/how do some people think that everything came about by random chance?

I don't understand how some people can look at a human being and say that we evolved. Every part of our bodies is there for a reason, to serve a purpose. Yes, there are organs that you can live without, but they do serve a purpose. Trust me, I had to have my appendix removed, am I dead? Um, that's an obvious no. So, does it serve a purpose? Yes. How? How could it serve a purpose, yet you can live without it? Well, the appendix is the organ right before your large intestine, and "the cells within the appendix are the same kind of cells we find in the infection-fighting organ which specifically fights off infections of the large and/or small intestine."* So, it has cells in it that fight infection in the intestines, so what do you think it is good for? Fighting infections! But, there are other organs that fight off infections there too, so do we need it? Well, yes. It takes some of the load off of the other infection fighting organs, to make their work easier. But, we can live without it, because it is not the only organ doing that job.

So, back to my first question, "who could have made it?" I know I couldn't! I took the picture above, but I did not make the flower. People can paint a picture of a human being, but we can't make a real human being. "Who could have made it?" Who could have made you? God. He created you!!! Thank Him, love Him, worship Him. And always remember how much He loves you.

Do these pictures just show pretty parts of the U.S?

I don't think so......

In my mind, they show the fantastic glory of God!!!

Just think! He made all of this for us...He loves us....He saved us!

Glory to our Savior! Glory to our Creator!

Do you know Jesus Christ? My Savior? My Creator? My God???? You should.
