Bible Verse of the Day

[Allhallowsday]

This might be my own favorite: 


John 19:41

At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.

[ER]

Ecclesiastes 1:2 "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity."

I loved Ecclesiastes even when I was young and ungiven to recognizing the worth of the Bible.

[Svengoolie 3]

Exodus 20:5  You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me.

[ER]

Exodus 20:5  You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me.

Good thing you're going to die childless then, Sven.

[ER]

They are prisoners in the enemy's camp, not enemies themselves.

I wanted to tell you, that was profound and it gave me something to think about, so thank you.

I once heard a rabbi speaking at a graduation ceremony at Hebrew Union College who said, "Those who slander G-d are not be be reviled, only pitied, for the cage of this life contains all the joy they will ever know."

And he was right because one thing I failed to comprehend for much of my life, which I get now, is that to believe is a much better way to live. If you're totally wrong, well, you've still probably lived a happier life as a result of your conviction, and if you're right then so much the better. Finding a reason to accept God may require more effort for some people than others (like me, hard journey) but it's worth it.

Now if I could only halfway live up to my inner convictions, huh?

My two bucks worth. Hope everyone has a good day.

[ER]

"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts."

--Proverbs 31:6 (KJV)

Wow, God thought of everything. I think stoners can even cite a verse to bolster their cause. Lol  God's hip, man

it's terrible that you managed to pollute the genepool with your DNA.

Ah...this thread reminds me of why I love religion. It brings folks together .

I don't know. It takes 2 to tango.
Sven should just stop. I'm an atheist-but I don't have any hang-ups with folks who want to believe in whatever they want to.
On the other hand- ER should be a Christian and "Turn the other cheek" and not edge him on-just for the sake of arguement.
It goes both ways.

But what do I know? I don't believe in anything!

ER does poke back when she gets poked, I'll give you (and her) that!
But Sven really does just troll constantly.

I wouldn't call Sven a "troll" to wit. A troll is someone who makes s**t up just for the love of drama.
WyreWizard was a Troll. MetropolisForever was a Troll. Sven really, truly is serious about the s**t he says.
I don't agree with alot of it. Alot I do. But shoving it down someones throat every f**king day gets old fast.
ER...well...me and ER's interaction is public record.

Of course if he goes ape s**t and decides to bomb a federal building, like Metropolis, then I reckon I got some hat eating to do.
No offense to Sven or ER. You guys are like Cat and Dog!

Oh well, back to the original programming:
