| What's your favorite Bible passage? | | Scripture, verses from the Bible...passages...whatever you call them yourself.
Type it up or look it up in google.
If you have one at all...I'm not asking if you believe it, I'm not even asking for arguments here. I'm just wondering what your favorite Bible passage is. If you have one at all. And if you don't and just came in here to give me grief, please leave honorably. Your comments of my God being false (and this, that, and the other) are unnecessary and uncalled for.
I have two of my favorites in my signature and avatar currently. You'll see more as time passes by.
Let's get this thread going. Feel free to take this thread seriously. |

| I love the Bible passage about how people wanted to get into Heaven easier, so they built a tower that reached the Heavens, but God said you have to earn your way into Heaven, and you can't just get there if you want, so he took the tower town.
If that isn't totally accurate, I'm sorry, but I haven't read the Bible in a very long time. Anyways, that story was really cool because it made me realize I have to work for what I want the honest way. I can't cheat on tests, I can't trick people into letting me stay home from school. I need to do it the old fashioned way. It really inspired me to work harder in life for all my wants and needs.

| I have many...one is "for those who wish to save their life will lose it, but those who give up one's life for my sake, will save it"
"there is no greater gift than to lay down one's life for a friend"
right now in my aim profile i have "'If you can?' said Jesus. 'Everything is possible for him who believes.'" Mark 9:23 |

| This is mine. From John 3:16
16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17) For God sent not his Son into the world not to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18) He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. |

| Not my favorite but two that I quote a lot when people go 'where in the Bible does it say being gay is a sin?'
Leviticus 18:22:
Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13:
If a man lie with mankind as he lieth with woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. |

Anyways, I haven't actually read the bible. I disagree with most of what I've heard from it, but I know there are some truely remarkable quotes that apply to real life in there.

Anyways, I think those were written by someone controlled by demons. Blood is the color of the devil. You don't promise bloodshed in the name of the Lord. That's just wrong on so many levels. Many people seem to forget that God is not alone, and that Satan can influence the content of the bible just as he influenced God in taking away everything Job had for no reason, and so many more shitty things that never would've happened if it wasn't for him --->  . |

| Oooooooooops. I didn't even mean to type that. It was one of those things where you're typing and reading at the same time and end up typing what you're reading. I even edited it to make the sentence make sense and that totally flew over my head, lmao. Oops.
I can't even remember what I wanted to say.  |
