I like pretty much the entire book of Job..
Here's a man that lost EVERYTHING in his life, yet, through it all, he never loses his faith in God.
There's a lesson to be learned there.

"Let He who is without sin cast the first stone" John 8:7

I use this line to get bible-thumpers to shut up.

What people often forget is that after he said that, Jesus picked up a rock and went "DIE!"
well, not really, but it'd be funny to hear that sermon at church if he had.

There are many great books and passages in the Bible. I love Ephesians and the whole equip yourself with the Word of God so Satan can't get a hold on you and also Job. How he gets so depressed when everything goes wrong but stays true to God even though everything sucks. And then Job is blessed tenfold.

Matthew 7:1
"Judge not lest thee be judged."

The first line in my arsenal to repel bible-thumpers. It usually is met with a long pause, then footsteps in the other direction.

I, though not a Christian, have Christian friends. They aren't jerks like bible-thumpers.

Eloi Eloi! Lama Sabachthani! ("My God, my God! Why have you abandoned me?")

These words spoken by Jesus on the cross, I feel, express the way he most deeply identified himself with us, fallen humanity. There he was, bearing the guilt and shame of the entire world, and in his anguish, he prayed the words I have found myself so often praying, "God, why are you doing this to me?" And yet, this is God himself experiencing the same depth of anguish--in fact, in an even more profound way--that I myself have experienced during the dark times of my life. It is in my own sense of abandonment and rejection that my God most deeply identifies himself with me.

It was the first book I really read and thought about, too. Perhaps that's why I like it.

I like the book of John alot, 'cause it's an eyewitness account of Jesus's time on earth. I also like Revelations, because I like to speculate on what John saw.

(Something like a cloud that sounded like mosquitoes with sharp teeth? Helicopters, mayhaps? :mrgreen:

John 3:18.

"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."

I personally like the Genesis stories. They facinate me. I believe in evolution, but man, those stories are interesting and have moral undertones.

I <3 all of Ecclesiastes. If I spelled that right. Regardless. It's the awesome. As well as Corinthians 1 & 2. Amazing stuff right ther.

so you believe that we all came from one single celled organism that multiplied over time? Well i dont, if you still believe it read Darwins Black Box. No offense

Luke 22:19-20
'And he took bread, gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me." Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you".'

I don't know, but when you reiterate our beliefs, phrasing them in an attempt to make them sound ridiculous, I think that does qualify as offense. You're an idiot if you think 'no offense' defuses an insult. You're not an idiot, right?

Didymus · **Posted:** Wed Dec 14, 2005 3:35 pm

And calling someone an "idiot" by phrasing it in the form of a question is likewise no less insulting. Not to mention, way off topic.

Mark 4:37-40 wrote:

“And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. “And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?”

Picture this.. Jesus is sleeping there, and there's this storm going on. The guys on the boat are scared to death. They wake him up, all scared, and he basically goes "<sigh>, Ok.. Wind, cut it out, nobody likes you.", stops the wind, then turns to the guys and says "chill. You're gonna be ok, I'm here, after all."

If I could control the weather, it'd make my job a lot easier. Forget all his crazy math, just walk outside and say "rain, on"..
Must be nice.

Not to carry this on, but only defending myself-I'm stipulating that it is so if he thinks 'no offense' defuses an insult (and a very insulting one at that). It is not very unreasonable to say that to think otherwise is idiotic, I would think. And the last statement is insulting only because it points out that he does think that 'no offense' defuses an insult, a viewpoint that can't be called reasonable. If he was being reasonable, then my statement would no longer be an insult.

If the both of us are being purely insulting (although in fact, I'm calling it idiotic to be so offensive, which I expect is true within your opinion!), as you seem to see it, then it should be noted that I have at least some reason for engaging in belittery, and am citing it, whereas he has none (as it is far less idiotic to believe in a theory which has much scientific proof behind it).

Not evading the situation, of course-if you still disagree and wish to continue this discussion, it can be continued via PM-but anyway, toastpaint.

And Mini Moose, you don't have to actively make something insulting to have it be phrased insultingly, which it was-"so you believe that we all came from one single celled organism that multiplied over time?" certainly seems like an effort to make it sound ridiculous and thus insult our intelligences for believing in something so ridiculous. If not, then you really need to watch how you phrase things, or people are going to be offended regardless of how much you mean 'no offense'.

Crystallina · **Posted:** Fri Dec 23, 2005 11:40 pm

Yes. Toastpaint.

My favorite (well, it's actually two verses) is John 15:18-19.

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."

I love the whole of Psalms 139.

Quote:

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

I personally identify a lot with Paul's words in Phillipians 3:4-11, but I also love just about all of Romans (especially chapters 8, 9, and 12) and Hebrews (especially chapters 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12).

One of my favorite obscure Bible stories is that of Hosea and Gomer in Hosea 1-3. I love the object lesson of God telling Hosea to go find a wife among the prostitutes. Hosea's wife is later unfaithful to him, but God commands Hosea to forgive her and accept her still as his wife. In chapter 2 God explains that Israel has been unfaithful, but that he will redeem her still and make her his bride. I think this paints a vivid picture of the kind of grace and mercy God shows for each of us, even though we've all done things we're ashamed of before a perfect and holy God.

I really enjoy Romans and Hebrews. I also like the 4 gospels. They tell the story of the greatest man to ever live: Jesus Christ.

1st Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you." My mom has a cross stitch of that verse with a rabbit holding a bunch of mostly eaten carrots and crying. I always remembered that verse because it was Peter, like Peter Rabbit.
