Bible Verse of the Day

[Porper]

Get a grip.

Hatchy, thanks you have just proven a point.

You do not like it when people point out there is no such thing as "God" (whichever of the particular ones you are brain washed on).It rather puts your various factual points in perspective.
Hitler obviously loved the Jews then ?

Anyway you lot are quite good at drawing people into talking about religion to put your beliefs across, so I will let you get on with your "recruitment", unfortunately I won't be one of your disciples but I am sure you will con some on here.I won't be drawn to post on this thread again.

im sorry porper but you have it all wrong m8 . this thread is all about correct grammar and flashing it around when the going gets tough , ps i am thinking of writing a book and recruiting members from forums across the nation based on my writings in said book , u intrested in helping and starting a commune ?

Let's have a Tao Te Ching verse of the day instead.

Lao Tzu was just an old fart on a hill not trying to control anyone or prove anything:

True words aren't beautiful,
Beautiful words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove a point,
Men who need to prove a point aren't wise.

Amen.

Why did we think this would go down this path.....

I'm not remotely interested in the Bible, but I don't know why we can't let people share their Bible verses if they are so inclined without feeling the need to challenge them in this thread.

As has already been pointed out there is a Religion thread where those of us who feel annoyed about religion can let fly.

A bit of the old cliche 'live and let live' isn't such a bad thing.

lol, just make sure you use spell check, or maybe get nioka to proof read it:

Also agree with Julia.

Don't count on me for a spell check. Spelling is not one of my strong points. I used it as an example to ask for constructive and not destructive criticism on this thread.

heres one for religeon...........http://www.mapsofwar.com/ind/history-of-religion.html

Moral to story: without god we were just another animal poking at its orifices ;-).

At least from that it looks like it got us off our asses ... even the muslim "jihad" means somethingmuch more like "get off your lazy ass and do something" than "kill whitey".

Anyway you want to make an omlet you gotta break a few eggs.

 

[2020hindsight]

speaking of quotes from other religions, and even of "jihad", I'm sure there are as many quotes from the Koran about "love" as there are of "vengeance". Very similar to the Bible really. My point back there (post #8) was that (imo) you have to beware of quoting (or taking) the Bible (or the Koran) literally.

 

[David123]

Hey all!
The Verse from two days ago says it all! You either believe in God or you dont! If you choose not to well, you will perish in eternal hell!.

Todays verse is Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

Godbless

David et al
you might enjoy this email I received from a Christian friend.
concept of forgiveness etc.
Personally it makes too many references to the devil for my liking.

PS As for the comparison of Koran and Bible, they both effectively share some or most of the Old Testament (as I understand it). In the case of the Bible, the New Testament tones that down a bit, with less talk of violence etc. (yes ?)

PS I don't expect I'll go to heaven. Then again, lol, I don't expect I'll go to hell either

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching!

Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper."
Sally just smiled and said, "Well, that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help." She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's, he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."

Thought for the day and every day thereafter? Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.

He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.

Grow Up!

Does it give you pleasure to think that somebody, who for the unimaginable crime of not believing in your version of God should suffer eternally?

Eternity is just a concept ...eternal heaven or eternal both suck, as do you!

Please stick to thread title.Nasty threats and barbs show you up as a poor example of a human being human.

Thank you.

Rather than hell and damnation, how about a couple of more user-friendly (?) verses...



All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.


John 6:37


Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.




Romans 15:7

This is where you Christians absolutely lose any goodwill. It's nonsense.

You broke the code implicit on this thread; you turned it from a "quote of the day" to "proselytism via fear".

Therefore you can expect some strong opposition to your brainwashed doctrinal BS.

Good show Tim,

This thread could be fun if folks stick to this sort of thing... positive stuff.

 

[tcoates]

Admit that he started this thread, but its a bit much to tar all Christians with the same brush?!?

No it's not fair. Apologies.

Some of my best friends are Christians and are fine and sincere folks.

Cheers

David, I have previously defended your right to have this thread, even though I have no interest in the Bible. I believe strongly in the right of people to whatever beliefs they find helpful as long as they don't hurt others.

But you have lost my support with the above unpleasant admonition.

I very much dislike being threatened and I imagine some of your fellow Christians will be somewhat saddened that you are perpetuating the image of Christians as fear-mongering fundamentalists.

 

[derty]

Hey All! When i can i would like to share a Bible Verse with you each Day...

So heres Todays!

JOHN 3:16 NIV

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Hey all!
The Verse from two days ago says it all! You either believe in God or you dont! If you choose not to well, you will perish in eternal hell!.

lol, when the original poster, under the guise of good will, leads off with a cranker like this, this thread is doomed.

Talk about cliché.
