Please tell me your favorite verses of the Bible and why?

Answer 1

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise ye the Lord! Psalm 150:6

Do I have to say anything about that verse? It speaks for itself!!

Answer 2

Psalms 118:17...I will not die but live and declare the works of the LORD!

I was in a terrible accident at work and my neck was broken in a few places. Most everyone including the Dr.s thought I was going to die. I knew it was NOT my time. When I got home from the hospital I was looking in the Bible and that was the first verse I saw when I opened it up.
I use that verse as my calling card now.

Answer 3

I think the part about how the Female Births Get Penalty

"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." (Leviticus 12:2)

"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." (Leviticus 12:5)


A woman who gives birth to a child must undergo a purification ritual lest her "uncleanness" contaminate others. This not only entails her isolation, but also payments to priests for the ritual acts. Thus the male dominators had even made birth dirty.

Notice here that if a woman bears a female child, her isolation must last twice as long as that if she gives birth to a male child!

(See also Psalms 51:3-5)

"The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of woman's emancipation."

--Elizabeth Cady Stanton


why? because 1/2 of civilization or more or less will see this and realize that thier loving god is bigoted and cheauvanist

Answer 4

1 Corinthians 1:19

For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise [men] perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual [men] I will shove aside.” 20 Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not get to know God, God saw good through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.

22 For both the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks look for wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ impaled, to the Jews a cause for stumbling but to the nations foolishness; 24 however, to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because a foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and a weak thing of God is stronger than men.

And,

Corinthians 13:1-13


1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become a sounding [piece of] brass or a clashing cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophesying and am acquainted with all the sacred secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all the faith so as to transplant mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my belongings to feed others, and if I hand over my body, that I may boast, but do not have love, I am not profited at all.

4 Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But whether there are [gifts of] prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; 10 but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a babe, I used to speak as a babe, to think as a babe, to reason as a babe; but now that I have become a man, I have done away with the [traits] of a babe. 12 For at present we see in hazy outline by means of a metal mirror, but then it will be face to face. At present I know partially, but then I shall know accurately even as I am accurately known. 13 Now, however, there remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.


The first because it shows how the love of God conquers, for our sake, the foolishness of man, and the second because it defines love when man seems to no longer know what how to define it or even recognize it.

Answer 5

I like the 23 Psalm. It's really a very peaceful and tranquil thought.

That, and it's the theme song to the Vicar of Dibley. Gotta love British Comedy! :-D

Answer 6

I love the whole chapter 4 of Philippians. It's really encouraging to me when I'm feeling down, because it gives me advice on how to feel better:challenge my negative thoughts, and change them to things pure, lovely, true, etc. And of course, rejoice in the Lord!

Answer 7

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Psalm 137

It is the clearest single indication that the bible is of human and not divine origin. No god, or genuine prophet of god, would say such a thing about any of their creations.

Answer 8

JOHN 3:
17 For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved
BECAUSE JEHOVAH HAS SENT HIS SON JESUS TO SAVE MANKIND THAT ARE FAITHFUL
