What is your favourite verse of scripture?

Post by _PrickKicker »

Here's mine:

King James Version (KJV)

2 Kings 18:27

27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

I like the one (I can't remember which it is) where it states that if a women, when intervening in a fight between two men, accidentally touches one of their penis's ('secrets' in the verse) then she should be put to death.

From the Bible Study thread:
Deuteronomy 25
11. When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
12. Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

I am the LORD your God and my mercy is limitless. Your wife is not to be put to death. You (her husband) should cut off her hand.
Only that one, I think - but this is my private opinion. Anyway, You may have free agency.
I exhort You to leave her one hand to touch Your secrets with.

I'm pretty sure that was an old idiom, equivalent to our modern-day "b.s. with you."

I'm sure you're right, But some people take every word literally. :redface:

The Money Shot Scripture:

And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

That would explain why thousands of people in the world die everyday!
And there is me thinking that it was starvation, thirst, disease, natural disasters, accidents and murders. :rolleyes:
