the person must be a father...
he must know every word of Bible by heart...

but wait!
Fathers just, dont do sins( (who knows)
They dont learn about christianity.. or do they???


If they do, they must know...every thing that bible says...


here in our religion, Islam, a scholar knows the whole Quran by heart.
& he understands every word of it....
& he can tell u every thing u ask him...
muslim men & women scholars are just very fine in their knowledge..
they r very clear in their concept...
hey learning Quran is just so normal thet every other person child or man or woman, is learning Quran by heart, & they are also learning its true meaning & application..
we dont have to find a scholar...
they r just in every mosque.

Even me myself know Islam a lot , but when I have some problem, i just ask my elder bro or my father or my mother, or my uncle, or even if they have dificulty answering me, I just go to my nearest mosque (which is like 100 yards for my home) & ask the scholar there...

It is no problem for us...


I wonder why u asked such question...

I think, bible is getting out of peoples mind....
& very few people are practicing true chritianity, & u have to "FIND" someone who can answer qeustions about chritianity....
Alas....!

I would consider myself one to believe pretty much everything in the bible, but I dont like to take it so far to say that every word in the bible is completley accurate. There are many translations out there who use different terms and such. So which one is right? There are some parts in the old testament for example that are describing a single horned animal. Some bibles actually say unicorn. Which doesnt imply the mythological creature but simple a one horned animal, yet some bibles say rhynocerous. i think there are little things here and there that suggest that you cant just hold up your bible and say every word written in it is 100% true and accurate. But I do believe it was God inspired. I also hate when Christians say the bible is the word of God. No wher ein the bible does it say that the bible is the word of God, infact the bible wasnt composed and organized as "the bible" as it was being written.

Lectio Divina is Latin for “spiritual reading” and represents an early monastic technique of prayer which continues in practice though less widely, intended to achieve communion with God as well as providing special spiritual insights and peace from that experience. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally, pray from God's Word.



History
Lectio Divina was first expressed in the year 220 AD. It was found that to read the Bible profitably it is necessary to do so with attention, consistency and prayer. The systematization of “spiritual reading” into four steps dates back to the 12th century. Around 1150, Guigo II, a Carthusian monk, wrote a book entitled “The Monk’s Ladder” (Scala Claustralium) wherein he set out the theory of the four rungs: reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI stated, “This is the ladder by which the monks ascend from earth to heaven.”

Method
Lectio is typically practiced daily for one continuous hour. A selection from the Holy Scriptures is chosen ahead of time, often as a daily progression through a particular book of the Bible.

Time
Selecting a time for lectio divina is important. Typical methods are to pray for one hour in the morning, or to divide it into two half-hour periods, one in the morning and one in the evening. The key is to pre-select the time that will be devoted to the prayer, and to keep it. Using the same time every day leads to a daily habit of prayer that becomes highly effective.

Place
The place for prayer is to be free from distractions. This means it should be isolated from other people, telephones, visual distractions, etc. Some find a religious icon to be helpful. The same place should be used for lectio if possible, especially as one first begins to practice it. Familiarity with a location reduces the possibility of distraction away from the prayer. Some practitioners conduct other devotions, such as praying before the Catholic Eucharist, as a preparation for Lectio Divina.

Preparation
Prior to reading, it is important to engage in a transitional activity that takes one from the normal state of mind to a more contemplative and prayerful state. A few moments of deep, regular breathing and a short prayer inviting the Holy Spirit to guide the prayer time helps to set the tone and improve the effectiveness of the lectio.

Once the stage is set it is time to begin the prayer. There are four phases of the prayer, which do not necessarily progress in an ordered fashion. One may move between different phases of the prayer very freely as the Spirit guides.

The Four Moments
Lectio
Read the passage several times.

Meditatio
Reflect on the text of the passage, thinking about how to apply to one's own life. Gravitate to any particular phrase or word that seems to be of particular import. This should not be confused with exegesis, but is a very personal reading of the Scripture and application to one's own life.

Oratio
Respond to the passage by opening the heart to God. This is not primarily an intellectual exercise, but more of the beginning of a conversation with God.

Contemplatio
Listen to God. This is a freeing oneself from one's own thoughts, both mundane and holy. It is about hearing God talk to us. Opening our mind, heart and soul to the influence of God. Any conversation must allow for both sides to communicate, and this most unfamiliar act is allowing oneself to be open to hearing God speak.

I've heard about who you're talking about. Imma put this on my watch list. No it's not Billy Graham, but HE'S COOL!

The guy you're talking about does nothing but quote the Bible as his answers. Nothing extra.
