Two of the presently most useless scriptures are the ones below because their interpretation is obscured past knowing:

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished.

I Thessalonians 5:3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The second one has had on and offs since the sixties. When it eventually happens, we'll all be taken by surprise.

The first one has everyone baffled since no one knows when to count from.

"It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand." Mark Twain

Exodus 4:24-26. (Moses has just been commissioned to deliver his people from Pharaoh's slavery)...
At a lodging place on the way the Lord met him [Moses!] and sought to put him to death. [God should have problems with that?] Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!” So he {God] let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
