KatFromSVDP Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I love all the gospels (probably Matthew the best), but I also love Philippians! I like Philippians 1:6 a lottt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatcatholic Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i'll tell ya what, i just finished the book of Joshua, and there is a boat-load of NT typology. i think that the fact that his name is the same as Jesus' already predisposes his book to point towards our Savior.

Ziggamafu Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Now that I'm Catholic, I might have to say it's a three way tie between Tobit, Wisdom, and 1 John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stbernardLT Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'm a John man myself (not John Stamos) Although Songs of Solomon are pretty nice, helps you to understand the beauty of marriage and the beauty of Jesus and the church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 This time of year I am thinking about Isaiah 53: [quote]1: Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2: For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. 3: He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4: Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. 6: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. 8: By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? 9: And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10: Yet it was the will of the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief; when he makes himself an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand; 11: he shall see the fruit of the travail of his soul and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous; and he shall bear their iniquities. 12: Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.[/quote] Isaiah 53:5 is the verse displayed at the beginning of [i]The Passion of the Christ[/i].
