Bible Verse of the Day

[Rev. Powell]

Proverbs 31:6 "Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish."

The ancient Hebrews were very, very hip.

That was my Bible verse of the say on Jan. 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors quote!

its not really a verse but I was really baffled when I first read Revelation when it said "and it was quiet in heaven for about half a hour". it was right after they opened the 7th seal and before all the insanity started. just a strange, casual description

Welllll, ja, but you were using the praise wine part, and I was giving beer its due. Besides, you're very quotable.

[Svengoolie 3]

Deuteronomy 20

16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy  them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you.

That sounds like a good title for a B-Movie.

I don't know how ER feels about this, but--apparently--like minds think alike.

"Vanity of vanities," sayeth the Preacher. "Vanity of vanities. All is vanity."

Ja? Are you German now?

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

Deuteronomy 20

16 However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy  them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you.

There's nothing wrong with your quoting the Bible, Sven, or even trying to weaponize it by picking out verses you hope will.....achieve whatever exactly you hope to achieve. (Do you even know?) But it does seem odd that you concern yourself so much with something you say you don't believe in.

I don't believe in the Easter Bunny, so I don't have a lot to say about him, but for someone who says there is no God, you spend a lot of time dwelling on the subject. That leads me to conclude you are either confusing hate with disbelief; you are intolerant of others' convictions and seek to change them instead of tolerating the differences between them and you, (just like the Chinese you say you hate do); or you are trying to prod someone to push the magic button and say just the right thing that'll suddenly let you believe and share in the happiness many of the faithful have.

So which is it?

I don't think you've put enough thought into your motives, you just know you feel anger and lash out from there, and for that I feel sorry for you.

As for the verse, well, the United States went to war to eradicate Imperialist Japan and Nazi Germany, and the advice given to service members before shipping out was, "Put some hate in your heart and make German the most common language in Hell."

We fought because we saw our declared enemies as evil, so did you ever pause to think maybe the peoples you cited in the verse were also evil and deserving of having total war waged against them?

You of all people seem to find it easy to say that not everyone is good and some groups need extermination, so I'm surprised you'd be critical of that at all.

Or are you saying religion represents a higher standard of conduct?

I think what made me willing to believe was a close examination of the claim that Jesus returned from the dead. I had to conclude that the likeliest explanation for this story was that Jesus did actually rise from the dead.

Maybe you should start there and really think about that event, and try to disprove it. You may be surprised.

In fact if you disprove it I will quit believing myself.

Peter Disowns Jesus
69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," she said. 70 But he denied it before them all. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said. 71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth." 72 He denied it again, with an oath: "I don't know the man!" 73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away." 74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Some have said Paul & James contradict each other on Faith & Works, but I don't see it. It's just algebra; if A=B then B must equal A.

James says you must have works to show you have faith; Paul says if you have Faith you'll have works.
