when you quote from the bible and write Corintians 9:1-4 or John 12:3-5...do you invent it because you know that no one is going to check it out?
Do you check the bible to answer or do you know these quotations by heart? (Honestly, i dont know what is worse)

My dad liked to quote the book of Hezekiah to say that when God cursed the ground in the Garden of Eden He also cursed the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil and it became a small plant and today we call it the tomato plant and this is why we should not eat tomatoes. Hezekiah was a king of Isreal but he doesn't have a book in the Bible. Most who quote the Bible do quote actual scripture however some do use it for their own agenda and some don't. My dad was a minister and he was only joking about the tomatoe thing because he didn't like them. He always told people in his first sermon in a new church not to believe anything that he told them----unless---- they searched the Scriptures for themselves and proved what he told them by what the Bible actually says. to many people just go to church and think that this makes them "Christian" it doesn't and the will go to hell just as quickly as the "regular" sinnners too.

I always include the Scripture when I actually type it out like:
Matthew 24:14
Studying as long as I have when I read certain questions there are Scriptures that come to mind.
When the Scriputure answers the question and remains in harmony with the rest of the Bible.........well, that is a good thing.

No, we don't make it up. That would be pretty stupid wouldn't it?
To make something up that can be so easy to verify. There is an on line bible and other way's to find quote's from the Bible.
Did you think before you asked this question? Apparently not because then you would have known how stupid is sounds.

Mat 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Mat 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

I never just make it up. Sometimes I know the scripture allready, and somtimes I know which scripture I am thinking of, but check it to make sure it is right. I would never want to change the words of God. I have no right to do that, besides it is not me who helps people in need, but Christ who is in me. God does not like anyone of us more than the other. We are all His creation. The difference is that Christians choose to love God in return. It doesn't make us any better than anyone else. It just makes us forgiven.

Perhaps more to the question, since they took the time to provide an answer, did YOU go check it out?
Or do you just automatically reject anything that comes from a Christian?
