What was the point of the Transfiguration?

Well, thanks for saying so, but no. I just paid attention in Bible study, that's all.

My skill is actually the ability to take large volumes of highly complex material and condense it down to a short, easily understood concepts. I'm actually a pretty good teacher in the computer industry because of it. Nobody can make the simple more complex than Microsoft and I used to make a good living teaching their products to IT people.

I'm glad I could pay attention and pass on a nugget. All the glory goes to God. He wrote the stuff.

Again, the studies by Jeff Cavins will make anyone look like genius.

We are all students. All wisdom comes from God, we just pass it along

The Bible Timeline is excellent as an overview of the entire Bible and their study of the Gospel of Matthew titled "The King and His Kingdom" is where I picket that up.

Many parishes are using the studies from Jeff Cavins. Our parish bought a few sets of DVDs and the company works with our parish to help us stock the study guides which we pay for ourselves. We then meet in homes, at the church or even the local library to go through the studies in small groups.

You won't regret bringing these studies to your parish.

I actually did that whole series in 8th grade CCD. So maybe I had learned it and I forgot about it. It was a couple years ago.

I was actually just listening to Jeff Cavins on the Radio last night and he was talking about how Jesus ended the exodus. Now that you reminded me of it with your post, I have something meditate on about. Thanks!

And you forgot to mention Revelations 1:9-16 where the Lord is sitted on a thrown in glory with eyes of fire, hair as white as snow exe. Just thought I add that in.

Eyes of fire? What does that mean?

I did, but it doesn't make sense to me.

The part of the passage from Rev 1: 9-16 decribes the glory of the Lord, of what God looks like, the same way when he transfigured in Matthew, and on Mount Sinai when Moses hid.
