I don't remember some words of the Holy Bible
I have a hard time remembering what the Bible says and also read it online. For some reason I find the book of Job interesting. I have been reading the Bible for over four years now and possibly read the book of Job three times.

Hi Siddhi, some words in the Bible are easy to understand and we remember them and then like to think about those words. Probably the Holy Spirit leading us when the words we read are easy to understand.

Yes but no need now and some people don't like Christianity.
Hey Siddhi, looking back at the posts I see your comment here and I was a person who did not like Christianity but now I do. Sounds to me like you never liked or disliked Christianity but wanted to learn about it after you saw the Holy Spirit.

What part of the bible do you like the best?
Genesis 1:1-2
King James Version
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.


Ephesians 4:30

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.



John 14:16-17
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.


Luke 1:35

Hi Siddhi, the verse I post here goes well with the verse you posted from the 14th chapter of John.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Siddhi, you might find something interesting on the site at this link. The movie Pilgrim's Progress is based on a book written in the year 1678. The book has been a popular Christian book since that time and you can turn on subtitles in different languages. One language looks something like Marathi to me but I can't tell what it is for certain.

Maybe you can at least get some enjoyment watching. And there are many other Christian movies on the site. I hope you find something that pleases you. In the rectangular boxes on the left you have to click watch movie and then when it starts at the bottom look for the cc next to the speaker symbol toward the right side and click to select subtitles.

Also at the top you can select other types of movies by clicking Dramas and then there are other things which i am not sure of and you might find something of interest.

I am watching an interesting documentary on Redeem TV right now about a Christian minister starting an integrated commune in 1942 Georgia called 'Briars in the cotton patch'. Interesting American history but involves violence. If you know the name of a movie you can do a search at the site or just type in a few letters and you can possibly get a return of movies like just type bri and you will see quite a few movies and documentaries.

I hope Siddhi that you see this post and get to watch the play at the link.
This is the birth of Jesus from the Heavenly Hosts point of view and the shepherds in the field. Only 40 minutes long but very nicely done with real nice singing and the joyous way Jesus birth was seen. Also some nice humor even though at first the angels, all those dressed in white, were sad to hear that The King was going to be born a baby, which they were glad to hear, but saddened that He would be killed. But the Joyful end that Salvation provided for us is met with satisfaction by the poor family and shepherds at the end. Spoiler, they should have had the angels in the final scene too.

Hello Siddhi, the following verses are given on Bible Hub as cross reference to 2 Corinthians 5:17

John 3:3
Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

Romans 6:4
We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

Romans 16:3
Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus
