- Is it possible to understand the Bible without feeling the book of Jeremiah?

- And we are told about the condamnation about Israel and Judah and mankind!

- By remembering what happened to Israel and Judah we can imagine what is going to happen to mankind!

- Nobody can say I didn't know!

Interconnections

- We can compare the Bible and the brain!

- The brain and the Bible have two parts!

- Using only one part is like having a stroke and being hemiplegic!

- The brain has different regions and the Bible has different books!

- Our abilities depend on different regions!

- If one region of the brain is not used or is damaged implies that abilities are missing!

- Now a neuron can connect with a big quantities of other cells and neurons!

- The possibility to develop these connections is connected to stimulations and learning!

- It is the same with the Bible!

- The more books we study and speak about the more connections we develop between the books!

- The more knowledge we get!

- The reverse is also true!

- It only depends on us not on others!
 
- For a believer, when he doesn't study and speak about God's word daily it's like he had the brain of a child which doesn't develop!

- He can always decide to start again!

- And for the one who stops studying and speaking about God's word it's like having Alzheimer!

- If we don't breathe we die!

- If we don't study and speak about God's word we are dead spiritually!
 
Somebody said:


Life does live on in the body for awhile after death. Muscle stem cells can live up to 17 days, interesting things about life.
 
- My answer:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coma/#:~:text=People who do wake up,the damage to their brain.


Some people may recover from these states gradually, while others may not improve for years, if at all. See the page on disorders of consciousness for more information about these conditions.


People who do wake up from a coma usually come round gradually. They may be very agitated and confused to begin with.


Some people will make a full recovery and be completely unaffected by the coma. Others will have disabilities caused by the damage to their brain. They may need physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychological assessment and support during a period of rehabilitation, and may need care for the rest of their lives.


- I remember a youngster who was in coma for 2 weeks!


- He had to learn everything again (reading, writing, speaking, eating, walking, remembering...)


- Let's think about the astronauts when they come back from space!


- Just speaking about walking, the more they spend time in space the more difficulties they get to walk when they come back!


- Let's think about surgeons!


- They cut parts of the body!


- It seems like butchery!


- When Jesus spoke about death he compared it to sleep!


- That is being unconscious!


- In the Bible when people are resurrected they just walk as if they had been sleeping!


- In the Bible when people are cured it is as if they had never been ill!


- No butchery nothing!


- And in just a moment!
