Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

A Perspective Bible Timeline And Lecturing Scripture

By Neil Baulch

When you are trying to learn about the Bible and get everything into a proper perspective, things can get a bit muddled at times and in order to keep it all straight, the Bible Timeline can go a long way into making things much easier to grasp. Why struggle with time frames when you can have everything at the tip of your fingers?

There are many arguments about when the actual events in the bible timeline take place. This does not give exact dates, but general eras when the major events take place. This is put forth in chart style so that it is easy for anyone to understand.

It will be much easier to break down what happened and who was involved because of the tools that are available. This is actually a great tool for teachers to use because of the highlighting and extra information that is readily available. All of the work is already done for you, you just need to click away.

Complication is the last thing that to worry about with this tool as nothing is easier to use than the Bible Timeline. If you have the ability to point and click, then you are able to use this wonderful program. The convenience of having everything on your monitor and at your fingertips is something that is entirely too good to pass up.

Something else to consider is that not only can you have everything on your computer for ease of use, but the entire timeline can be printed out in various sizes of paper. It would be very easy to make a simple study guide out of it or if you are a teacher, perhaps a runner for around the perimeter of the classroom.

Listening to people debate over what happened when gets very confusing when it comes to the Bible. Now everything can be right there on the computer with little debate and less confusion. If there was ever a modern tool that helped with Bible studies, this is it.
