There is a site called Bible gateway. It has a fully searchable bible with all the translations on it and we simply control c and control v itinto the text.
I write many articles and I tell you what I would not quote the Bible as much if I had to type all the answers.
If you search on google, Online bible it is the number one spot.
I used to do pay per click advertising to Christians to the right of it and no one else put ads there. I offered free prophecies to strangers online via email.
It's like a free clairvoyant only my Gift is the message comes from God and it is for your welfare and what he wants you to know rather then if you are going to get you dream lover or job.
I hope I helped.
Here is a little verse for you. I think you will like it. It's a promise from God for people who can believe it and apply it as truth in their life as a Christian.
2 Timothy 1:7 (New King James Version)
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Hi, I'm a Christian. I do not EVER use those "online" Bibles. I study straight from the manuscripts themselves. If I can't recall a specific verse in the Bible, I look it up,
but after years of study, they just tend to stick in your mind, ya know?
I hate that "cut and paste" stuff; if someone wants that, they can just as easily go and get it since they are also sitting at a computer. I answer every question in my own words, and only quote the Scripture if its warrented to do so, in order to answer the question. Unfortunately, sometimes even using our own words, the subject matter makes it necessary to be somewhat "wordy". (sorry).

You know I often wonder that. I think some make an honest to goodness study of it and simply know these things. These are the people I respect becuase they don't take things out of context for the most part. What frusterates me the absolute most about it though is sometimes those passages don't even answer the question!!!! I swear the first Christian I meet that actually tells me You know I don't know. Let me check that out for you and gives me an answer outside of the bible, I will have an entirely know and better look on the faith as whole.

Yes, I do quote - Exact Scripture - related to the question -asked from my KJV Bible. I feel that 'That' is the LAST and FINAL authority other than God - Himself. I Pray about Everything I write.
Be at Peace - Grace Unto You.
Take Care and God Bless!

I can only speak for myself, but I say no! I have such a slow connex here at work, that would be impossible. And all too often, the moment an atheist or other unbeliever see Scripture, they recoil in horror. I try to share my experience first, then show them how it adds up in Scripture later.

I would say the long quotes, they do cut and paste... I can quote scripture from the Bible but I don't cut/paste my answers...

No.
It's been drummed into their head over and over and over by creepy religious zealots who want them to never think for themselves.
Quoting biblical lines just means they don't have any wisdom of their own.
It's like...
If I asked a girl out to dinner and a movie, and she says...
"Hold on...let me see what The Book says about dating..."
And then quotes me something...
Pretty lame...
