Elisha went to the Jordan with his servants and they cut wood. One of the servants axe heads fell into the water. What did Elisha do when the man cried out that it was borrowed?

[Mackenaw]

he said "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". Oh wait, that was Cassius Clay/Mohammad Ali.



Elisha asked where it fell into the water, then he cast a stick into the water (in the general area) and suddenly the axe head started to float. Elisha then told the man to grab it, and he did.

(Read about it, : II Kings 6:1-7)

Where did God ask Jonah to go and cry against the city?

God told Jonah to go to Nineveh.

John the Baptist said: Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

What did he mean by that?

[Mackenaw]

John The Baptist was speaking of Jesus Christ -- saying Jesus would baptize His followers with The Holy Spirit, Who is often represented by Fire within The Bible: tongues of fire in Acts is but one example. Those who have the indwelling and baptism of The Holy Spirit are being changed from the inside out by the work of The Holy Spirit, Who is purging out, or burning off, the chaff...sin, so to speak, and purifying us. Similar to the process of burning off the dross out of gold or silver via the refiner's fire.

God is so very Good!!!

Whose grandmother's name was Lois?

[mlg]

Timothy! She was a Godly woman also.

What did Jesus write in the sand when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought unto him a woman of adultery?

[Mackenaw]

Yeah! Yes, Timothy's grandmother's name was Lois, and The Bible says she was a faithful servant of God. (See II Timothy 1:5)


We are not told what Jesus wrote in the sand (John 8:1-11), but it sure is cool to think about that. Perhaps He was listening to what God The Father was saying to Him, or perhaps He was just was waiting for everyone present to give Him their full attention, or...
