Bible study

I seriously started reading&studying Bible last semester. My friend Jeremy's been helping me a lot!

Actually i read Bible a bit 3.5 years ago finding it confusing and boring. I guess the confusion brought up the boredom. (please don't laught at me) i watched House Season5 Episode 15 and I even didn't realize the guy that showed up in the patient's illusion was Jesus at the first sight. There're (still) things that i don't/didn't understand: why do people bother to fast ( i thought fasting=starvation, thanks to Jer, i got it now) themselves; why are people supposed to be sooo kind and generous that they could love their enemies and forgive people who've done bad things to them; How do people store up for themselves treasures in heaven (by being nice to people?), etc. However, I guess God also let us to question him. He won't expect us to obey him all along. We're not his slaves but children and he loves us that's why we pray to, love, or even be mad at our Father.

Seriously I am falling in love with Bible which is full of wisdom, advice, etc. I started from Matthew and I just finished Matthew 6. Below are things i took from Matthew that i really like .

One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God-Matthew 4-3

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew: 5-8

Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evial against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew: 5-11

Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you. Matthew 5-42so that your alms maybe done in secret;and your Father who sees it in secret will reward you. Matthew: 6-4(to be continued)

well, it's easy to just read Bible. It's way hard to perform what Bible says, but i'm getting there :)
