What is your most favorite bible verse?

John 3:16

Answer 3

Here are my three favorites. The emphases are of course my own.
Deut 21:18-21
"If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall STONE HIM TO DEATH. You must PURGE THE EVIL from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid."
read: Kill disobedient children.

2 John 1:7-11
"Many DECEIVERS, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the ANTICHRIST. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, DO NOT TAKE HIM INTO YOUR HOUSE or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him SHARES IN HIS WICKED WORK."
Read: Do not consort with the Jews, etc, because they are wicked and the Antichrist.

and finally,
Genesis 27:11
"Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, 'But my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I'm a man with smooth skin.'" (These translations are NIV, but the Revised Standard Edition uses the phrase "a smooth man" which is even funnier).

Answer 4

Phil 4:19

Answer 5

Jer 29:11

Answer 6

Job 28:7-28

Answer 7

John 14; 1 - 4
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Answer 8

I don't know the exact verse (probably because I just can't read it without getting really angry), but I do know that it is the line within the story that made me lose my whole stance on faith.

"The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away".

Answer 9

Isaiah 40: 28-31: " Have you not come to know or have you not heard? Jehovah, the Creator of the extremities of the earth, is a God to time indefinite. He does not tire out or grow weary. There is no searching out of his understanding. 29 He is giving to the tired one power; and to the one without dynamic energy he makes full might abound. 30 Boys will both tire out and grow weary, and young men themselves will without fail stumble, 31 but those who are hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not tire out.”

Answer 10

There is lots of nice stuff in Song of Solomon. But too much of the bible is fiction to be really interesting.

Answer 11

The one where 42 kids are torn to pieces after making fun of a prophet. It shows peace, love, tolerance and forgiveness....


From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
