Question

What is your favorite bible verse?

Answer 1

The one where God killed almost everyone on earth for trivial reasons.

Answer 2

Oh! there are so many. I'd say all the ones with rape, violence ware a genocide in them.

Answer 3

“Jesus is the Savior of all mankind, especially of those who believe.” (1 Tim. 4:10)

Answer 4

Exodus 20:13

"Thou shall not kill."

I love this because this can put an argument.

It's kill, not murder.  Then why is that people kill animals for the pleasure of their tongue??  giving suffering and pain to creatures of God for own enjoyment??

Genesis 1:29

"God said, 'I have given you every seed-bearing plant which is on the face of the earth and every tree that bears fruit with seed.  It will be for your food."

He didn't say, "I provided every animal, every bird in the sky, everything that creeps along the ground for you to eat."

right??

( :D I know many would oppose this because they eat meat...  :D  )

The truth will set you free...

:D

Answer 5

1 Samuel 15:3.

That's God alright. Captures God's true essence better than Kodak film.

"Kill one man and they call you a murderer. Kill a million men and they call you king. Kill 'em all and they call you God."

Answer 6

None.  I don't read that stuff.

Answer 7

I am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness. Jesus (John 8:12)

I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me. Jesus (John 14:6)

Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1

those are my favorits, i rly cant choose just one :)

Answer 8

Don't have one.  There are too many, good for their own reasons to pick just one.

Answer 9

For all those who are spouting off about God's killings; there were important reasons for the lives lost. With God, there is such a thing called having righteous anger and justice and he didn't kill blindly or without reason. Make sure you read the entire Bible before making any assumptions.

Answer 10

"And they all lived happily ever after."

Answer 11

Old Testament: Amos 5:21-24 - "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

New Testament: James 2:16 - If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?

Answer 12

Book of Revelation 13:18

Answer 15

“Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces.”  (Malachi 2:3)

Answer 16

Psalms 37:10,11

And just a little while longer and the wicked one will be no more. And you will certainly give attention to his place and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will posses the earth and find there exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

I am not sure if that is word for word but it's close.

Answer 17

I like the one in Psalms about God's angel chasing our enemies as if they were on slippery rocks.

hah

Answer 18

Isaiah 42:16

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,

       and make the rough places smooth.

       These are the things I will do;

       I will not forsake them.

Answer 19

Micha 6:8:

He has told you, O man, what is good; And what the LORD requires of thee But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your G-d.

and Isaiah 2:4

And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.

Answer 20

Ezekiel 23:20-21 (NIV) There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.  So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young b*****s fondled.

Thou shalt save nothing alive that breatheth; but thou shalt utterly destroy them. Deut. 20:13,14 and Deut. 20:16,17
