What do you learn from the story about the paraplegic and his four friends? (Mark 2:1-12)?

By reading that story in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, you learn of faith.  I focus on all five men (a & b): the paralytic and the four men who brought him to Jesus by any means necessary.  Jesus rewarded their faith by healing the paralytic.  It's a good lesson to remember.

Matthew 19: 23-25\n\n23Then Jesus said to his disciples, "What I'm about to tell you is true. It is hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is hard for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But it is even harder for the rich to enter God's kingdom." \n\n    25When the disciples heard this, they were really amazed. They asked, "Then who can be saved?" \n\n    26Jesus looked at them and said, "With man, that is impossible. But with God, all things are possible." \n\nPay particular attention to verse 26\n\nJesus wanted the disciples and us to realze that we are dependant on God, and without him we can do nothing.

I actually had a conversation with him the other day.  He's a close personal friend of mine.  He's really a lot more talkative than they make him out to be in the Bible and he doesn't always talk in parables.

Interesting.  The Lord has put many in my life. Right now, I have a group of late teens, early twenties... I am preparing them for college,  by training them in Christian apologetics. This will help them defend their faith against the worldliness of college. My ex-wife... without her I may not have gotten to know the Lord and not be doing what I am doing now.  I had a wonderful class a few years ago and was able to teach science from a Christian perspective. One of the students, Sarah died last week. I believe she is in Heaven. This is rough when you see this happen to a 16 year old. But I hope I was able to make some difference in her and her families life.

Some guy Andy got a stroke and got half paralysed. He started to go into the deepest hell of overwhelming emotions and cried himself to sleep every night. However, there are these friends and relatives there who visit him and tell him not to give up. He started physiology and regained his former self.\n\nThis is a rough idea. Write it in ur own words.

I Corinthians 10:12 \n\nAnd so finally after many more months of work, all the sages came back to him, and they had come to a unanimous conclusion that the wisdom of the world could be put into a four-word sentence. They told the king that this sentence expresses much. It is chastening in the hour of pride and consoling in the depths of afflictions. And I've reflected on this sentence this week. The sentence of their wisdom was: "This too shall pass."

The story highlights the fact that education is key!\n\nHuman being are born knowing nothing and they have to learn everything.  \n\nThe story indicates that the person did not know that Jesus Christ changed the calendar and the holidays and that the holiday of Christmas did not exist before Jesus Christ.\n\nSupport the Christian Church and continue its teachings - you will feel good about yourself.

We all have our Friends, then our close Friends, then our best Friends, and finally our best friend. Jesus was the same, he had His followers, His disciples, Peter, James and John, and His best friend was Peter. \nPeter seamed to be the smartest and most inquisitive among the disciples, which usually makes one a leader among their peers.\nPeter had the strongest faith and acted on that faith.

It goes back to the Macabees.  I'm not too clear which is which, but I think that the pharisees were with the last of the Macabees.\nYou have it in your Catholic Bible - 1st and 2nd Macabees - fascinating  story.

Oh well, PD, thought I'd give you something more to read (along the lines of your story), besides the usual 'LOL' everyone esle has given you thus far:\n\nA man with no legs goes into the men's room in a wheelchair, looking very tired from all the wheeling. He asks the man in the next urinal to help him out with his business. The stranger is a little taken aback, but takes pity with the handicap nonetheless. \n\nThe kind man unzips the handicap's pants & pulls out his p*nis & is shocked beyond belief at what he sees! The handicap's p*nis was bright red with ulcers and green blisters with purple warts-like bumps and pus is oozing out everywhere! Still... despite being disgusted, the gentleman held his tongue and helped the handicap do his business.\nThe man puts the handicap's john back in the pants upon finishing the business and helps the handicap out of the men's room.\n\nNot being able to hold his curiosity any longer, the man asks the handicap, "Excuse me, I don't mean to pry or be rude or anything, but I couldn't help noticing... what on earth is That?! What wrong with it?"\n\nThe handicap looks at him and says, "Man, I don't know, but I sure as hell ain't gonna touch it!"\n\n:o)

We blame God for all the problems in the world; we denounce God for all the misfortunes a person has to endure; but do we praise God for the blessings that we receive?\n\nIt seems to me you are blessed with 'normal faculties' - being able to think, talk and walk. You of all person should show the disabled girl the joy of knowing God's goodness... because it is no accident that you came to know of this person.\n\nYou, of all persons in her life, should lead her to the only happiness that matters... that only God can give. NOW my friend... when even her own parents 'hate' her, you of all people are the one to lead her to God.\n\nWhat have you got to loose? Who has she to depend on?

God was talking to Jesus. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God. Read the 1st Chapter of The Gospel of John.

The Lost Chapter of Genesis\n \nAdam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely. \n\nSo God asked him, "What's wrong with you?" \n\nAdam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. \n\nGod said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. \nHe said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. \n"She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you!  "She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. \n"She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." \n\nAdam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" \n\nGod replied, "An arm and a leg." \n\nSo Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" \n\nThe rest is history....
