Question

details welcome. yes, i want you to use your higher level thinking skills.

fine shortdude! i will. (lol)
just can't make my life easy.

Answer 1

I read, respect, and honor the Bible because it is inspired by God.
My favorite verse is Phillipians 4:6-7, which says, "Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

This verse reminds me not to worry, to give thanks always, and to accept God's peace.

Thanks for asking!

Answer 2

Wow, two big questions.

Favourite verse? John 8:7 is definitely one of my favourites, and I also like John 1:1-18. Ok, not just one verse, but whatever.

My take on the Bible?
I don't remember who said it, but I like the following quote: "The Bible may be the truth but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth". That sounds about right to me. The Bible is inspired by God but was written by men which means that I don't think we can be 100% certain about the truth of any actual events and how they actually played out. I think the basic themes are the most important part of the Bible and they are what provide the basis of Christian faith anyway. But I'm sure that there are some things that are left out, and some things in it that are imperfect.

Answer 3

The Bible is a living book. Meaning that it will speak to different people about different subjects depending upon the need of the individual at the time.

You can read the Bible one time, and a particular verse will seem to jump off the pages at you, then on a different occasion, you can read the same general passage and something else will do that same thing.

Hope this helps you.

1 Corinthians 13:11 ‑
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

That's the verse that spoke to me and made me see the the Bible in the same light as I used to see Santa Claus when I was a child.

Sorry for that, but it all seems like fairy tales now, I'm kind of sad about it, really, but that childhood faith has been replaced by the voice of simple common sense and reason. Somewhere along the line in my life, it all just quit making any kind of sense. I will always believe in God as I always have, but not all bizarre and distorted contradictory stories in the Bible.

Answer 5

Right now, I have been studying a lot in 1 Corinthians 13 which defines what love is. The concept of love and true godly love for one another is being overshadowed and clouded with lust in today's society. I think that as a christian, I need to seek God's Word and come to an understanding of what love is all about so I can keep my wits about me and not be pulled into what the world thinks I should do.Even so, I get self concious about my weight and get depressed a lot because I don't fit in and don't think I'm good enough. Everytime I read this verse, however, I come out with an understanding that there is One who loves me unconditionally and with all His heart. God is good, all the time.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud,It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perserveres.

Answer 6

they could talk in tongues to someone who would not understand if the man has the translation of what they pronounced. no longer each and absolutely everyone can interpret tongues. because it really is a present of the Holy Spirit. a momentary prevalence that operates on the want of the Holy Spirit. No believer can will it on their own. This defined above is a public present. it really is diverse than a private potential to talk in tongues that's on the want of the believer who has initially received the potential to talk in tongues, for applications of prayer, self edification and praise unto God. no one is popular with unlearned tongues even if or not that is public or deepest. There are tongues that are prevalent languages that the speaker or per chance the hearers do not realize. Like someone unknowingly the German language to a Spanish conversing target market, except there is one man or woman contained in the target market who speaks German. Then there is the present of interpretation given by utilizing a believer that does no longer talk German. And the close by German in some unspecified time sooner or later confirms to the interpreter that they interpreted wisely. reading is diverse than translating. examine a million Corinthians chapters 12 - by 14. .

Answer 7

The first verse I ever memorized from the Bible was Matthew 7:12 (the Golden Rule), and I also think Matthew 25:40 reinforces that. From a Mormon point of view, I believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it has been translated correctly. There is great solace to be found in studying and reading it, especially Psalms. There is also a great knowledge of human behavior to be learned. I think the entire purpose of the Bible is to bring people to God and to believe in the divine mission of Jesus Christ. I also think the purpose of the Bible is to show people that there is a pattern of living prophets which God has used throughout the centuries, and we should look for a church which has a living prophet and apostles who have had a divine witness of the existence of Jesus Christ. From my point of view, I believe the Bible has delineated all of the signs of the true Church of Jesus Christ, and I believe that together with the Book of Mormon, I have two witnesses of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Answer 8

The Bible is a collection of writings that say many different things and were never meant by their authors to be one piece of work. It contains many contradictions and confusing errors, as well as some mistranslations and hundreds of words or phrases that were inserted later, by people with less-than-honest intentions.

I don't know why the people who put the Bible together several hundred years after Jesus' life decided to keep the old Hebrew scriptures. Their inclusion has let to many fundamentalist ideas and it (their inclusion) goes against what early Christianity taught about Jesus doing away with the law and his new teachings of loving your neighbor, living by faith, and following his example.

There are many words in the Bible that I think were spoken by the real Jesus, and also many words that were written by later religious people and attributed to him. The authors of Matthew, Luke, John, and the Revelation in particular have lots of Jesus material that was added later.

One phrase that I believe he actually said is in Luke 17:21: "...the kingdom of God is within you." This goes along with other teachings of Jesus, and I know it to be true from my own experience.

The Bible doesn't have a monopoly on God, and it mostly misrepresents the living God anyway.

Answer 9

It is so hard for me to narrow it down to one verse, the whole Bible speaks to me.

I do have some favorites, that seem to come up or fit in, all the time.
Such as Proverbs 3:6, NKJV, Holy Bible, Acknowledge God in all your ways, and He shall direct your paths. This has and still does speak volumes to me. The verse says "all your ways", which to me includes my wrong and sinful ways. So I always acknowledge and seek God on everything, the good, the bad, the ugly, and I fully expect him to direct my paths. By doing this I have been set free from things, and have been better able to tell difference between condemnation and conviction.

Answer 10

7Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, 8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. 14But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
II Corinthians 3:7-18

18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[c]
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
1 Corinthians 1:18-25

16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:16

Answer 11

The verse that says, "then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

It comes from the New Testament, in John somewhere. That's really irrelevant to me, as I don't really believe the Bible-story, instead I believe the Truths the Bible teaches.

The verse I like, speaks to me because, it's well, TRUE. When I know something is true, when I feel sure in my heart about something I believe in, that I have found understanding, I feel free.
