Take the word God and define it' there is no man named God that anyone has ever seen' even the good book points this out' so now when we tell children that something exists which they simply cannot interpret' what does this do for them? They say this' what do they have that I cannot comprehend" One cannot know what one cannot see' I;ll give one a clue' Paternal Iiteracy said Adam Eve to cain Abel' The invisible God is a fake' is there something wrong with little children or is it the world?

will most likely grow as well as the comprehension level, not to mention the maturity level. Finally, what are you more likely to remember - that which you took 15 minutes or 30 minutes to read or that which you read in a minute or two. Most people remember "sound bites" better than dialogues or descriptions. Finally, if you disagree with Doug's approach to get kids into the Word, fine - what approach do you use?

if its not a one minute bible then why would i buy that rather than buy a real bible? i dont want to read your suggestions i'd rather read GODS...... thats why you buy a bible in the first place. you promised me a minute doug. i dont want a two or three minute bible. i want a one minute bible. you spent three minutes talking about a bible that gives us a minute of information. i could use that three minutes and read three days worth. come on your wasting my time man

[jer2911]

come on doug, a whole minute? who wants to spend an entire minute with the creator of the universe? why couldn't you have made the 10sec bible? thats about all the time that i have for the saviour of my soul, who was brutally beaten and nailed on a cross so that i wouldn't have to be. i've got better things to do than trying to develop a relationship with that guy.

THE ONE MINUTE BIBLE??? YOUR KIDDING RIGHT? WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO DO WITH THE OTHER 23HRS AND 58MINS OF THEIR DAY??
