Bible Basics
Tuesday, April 25, 2006
We were watching The Ten Commandments mini series over the Easter/Passover weekend. I didn't really watch it as I had already seen the 1956 version but I wanted Stefan to watch it because I think he should at least know some bible basics.
Halfway through, he started asking questions.
Stefan: So.....where is Jesus? I keep waiting for him to pop up.
Me: Jesus is after. Long after.
Stefan: Who is this Joseph guy they keep talking about?
Me: Technicolour dreamcoat...
5 minutes passed and he started listing the only Bible people he knew.
Stefan: Jacob and Esau?
Me: Before...
Stefan: Cain and Abel?
Me: They were the first children! Remember Adam and Eve? Look. Why don't you read the Bible from the beginning. It explains everything. Read until Exodus at least and you'll get caught up to this story.
Stefan: Is there a Coles Notes version?
Me: No, they have a children's bible with pictures.
Another 5 minutes.
Stefan: I'm still confused. Where is Jesus? Who was he with?
Me: John the Baptist.
Stefan: Hmph. Well, I'm Stefan the Sleepy and I am going to bed.
At least he's a cute heathen.
