  1. Own list of such fragments from the experience of conversations before baptism and based on publications in our newspaper:

    Mt 27: 46 — The words of Christ: “My God! Why did You leave Me?”

    Luke 8: 32-The Gadarene demoniac: Why did the demons enter the swine?

    Luke 14: 26 — The words of Christ: “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.”

    Luke 16: 8-The parable of the unfaithful steward: why did his master praise him?

    Luke 22: 36 — The words of Christ: “Sell your clothes and buy a sword.”

    Mt 6: 25-The Words of Christ: “do not worry about your soul, what you will eat and what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.”

  2. For me, one of the most difficult passages in the New Testament is this one: “Those who have sinned without the law are outside the law and will perish.”; but those who have sinned under the law will be condemned by the law (for it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law who are justified; for when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do the things of the law, they are a law to themselves without the law: they show that the work of the law is written in their hearts, as their conscience testifies, and their thoughts, now accusing, now justifying one another) in the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secret works of men through Jesus Christ” (Rom.2:12-16).
