Bible Together
About
Bible Together is a place to read the words of Jesus, see how he treated people, and go and do the same.
At its simplest it is a clean reader with highlights, private notes, and a community layer you can switch on whenever you want to read alongside others.
Why this exists
Jesus spent his days with the sick, the poor, the hungry and the people everyone else had given up on. His hardest words were for religion that had turned into a show. If he walked through our cities today, we do not think he would be admiring the buildings. He would be outside, with the people on the street.
A great deal of what is done in his name has buried who he was and what he stood for. This site goes back to what he said and did, and lets it speak for itself.
In his words
-
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
-
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
-
They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
-
…all ye are brethren.
-
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
What we owe each other
We are all brothers and sisters. Before anything else we are human, and it is our duty to stay humane: to look after each other, to care for one another, and to stand together with the weak, the sick, the young and the pushed aside against anyone who would harm them.
Who builds it
I was raised Muslim. I found the real Jesus, the prophet Isa, when I began an honest relationship and conversation with God the Creator. It led me to carry my cross every day and to make sacrifices for my own good and for the good of humanity. I live to serve others, to help people find their purpose with God behind them, and to stand up to those who oppress them.
