Bible Alive - Dave Rebbettes Dave Rebbettes

- Religion & Spirituality
Did you realise that Thomas was one of the bravest disciples and that Jonah was dead in the belly of the fish? Did you realise just how much the Old Testament points towards Jesus and that Moses crossed the Reed Sea, not the Red Sea? Do you know what happened to the teenage disciple John Mark, or what Jesus really said to Peter on the beach? Did you know that Jesus was born in October, right on schedule and that he came to perform an exodus. Have you ever thought about why Luke wrote more of the New Testament than any other writer and how this unlocks his books? Have you ever heard of Onesimus and do you know the amazing meaning of his name?
This amazing bible is a book about real people in real places in real history. The bible comes dramatically to life when you know the characters and context. Indeed without context. In addition, when you know the context you will interpret and understand the bible far more clearly and find yourself wanting more.

What is his name and the name of his son?
Proverbs asks the question, what is Gods name and the name of his son? It is a shame that Judaism and the majority of the Christian church neither know nor use his name. To make matters worse, God specifically asked that we never forget his name until the end of time. In addition, once you know the meaning of those names it changes your relationship.
