Have you ever wondered what it would be like if people's real motives could be on public display? Some people who aren't usually well thought of could be shown to have pure hearts, wanting good for everyone, envy, wanting others to lose the good things they have, for no one. This is called "simplicity".
"I don't need all that, I can handle things on my own." But what would you do if you ever got to the point of "how could it have come to this?"
To be able to see people's hearts, you would have to go through much suffering. This is the secret of wisdom, not knowledge that can be exploited, but an inner knowing of the heart that only comes after all impurities have been burned off by suffering.
Wouldn’t that be Miriam bat Joachim?
Thanks,I stand corrected.
True.
It should be Miriam Bat Joachim, because “Ben” is for son.
“Wouldn’t that be Miriam bat Joachim?”
My own prejudice is that this is yet another example of someone who believes in Jesus being absolutely ignorant of the culture and religion into which he was born and raised.
To be honest, I didn’t read it past the erroneous headline.
