Question

Mine would be...

"Judge not, least ye be judged" <---Good advice.

I'm agnostic by the way, but I do agree with some of the statements in the Bible, whilst I do disagree with other parts.

Answer 1

"Love your neighbor as yourself."

Answer 2

"Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world"
"When the devil comes at you like a flood the spirit of the Lord will raise up against him a standard"
"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the entire world and lose his own soul"
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you"
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, this is the first and greatest commandment"
""The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him shall be the obedience of the people." the sceptor left Judah about 2000 years ago. it's the right to apply and enforce Mosaic law upon the people, including the right to adjudicate capital cases and administer capital punishment.

In the first quarter of the first century A.D., the Jews were under Roman domination when an unprecedented event occurred. According to Josephus (Antiquities 17:13) around the year A.D. 6-7, the son and successor to King Herod, a man named Herod Archelaus, was dethroned and banished to Vienna, a city of Gaul.4 He was replaced, not by a Jewish king, but by a Roman Procurator named Caponius. The legal power of the Sanhedrin was then immediately restricted.

With the ascension of Caponius, the Sanhedrin lost their ability to adjudicate capital cases. This was recorded by Josephus.

"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth"
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you"
"It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble." that's probably why lukewarm Christians are condemned so much.

Answer 3

i won't be able to stand merely determining on out one verse. It generally misrepresents some thing or finally ends up in pointless confusion. If I had to p.c.. merely one, it would be in the 2d epistle of Paul to Timothy. 2 Tim 3:sixteen "All scripture is given by making use of concept of God, and is rewarding for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for education in righteousness" You had a foul day and want some brightness? attempt backing as much as verse 12. "Yea, and all which will stay godly in Christ Jesus shall go through persecution." God makes no grants for this existence, excepting that he will furnish for you. Did you consume right this moment? Do you have a place to stay? in case you nonetheless have internet provider it won't be able to be all that undesirable. have been you mocked for Christ's sake? Spit on? overwhelmed? avoided? Tortured? Killed? i do no longer understand your venture, even if it form of feels you're specializing in non everlasting circumstances greater desirable than what the bible teaches. i will bypass away you with some words from a eye-catching previous hymn. it isn't any longer scripture, even if it is real. turn your eyes upon Jesus. look without delay in His staggering face, and the flaws of earth will strengthen surprisingly dim in the easy of His glory and charm.

Answer 4

“Let the day perish on which I was born,
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
4 Let that day be darkness!
May God above not seek it,
nor light shine upon it.
5 Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.
Let clouds dwell upon it;
let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 That night—let thick darkness seize it!
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Behold, let that night be barren;
let no joyful cry enter it.
8 Let those curse it who curse the day,
who are ready to rouse up Leviathan.
9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
let it hope for light, but have none,
nor see the eyelids of the morning,
10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb,
nor hide trouble from my eyes.

11 “Why did I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
12 Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13 For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14 with kings and counselors of the earth
who rebuilt ruins for themselves,
15 or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling,
and there the weary are at rest.
18 There the prisoners are at ease together;
they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
19 The small and the great are there,
and the slave is free from his master.

20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
and life to the bitter in soul,
21 who long for death, but it comes not,
and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 who rejoice exceedingly
and are glad when they find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes instead of [1] my bread,
and my groanings are poured out like water.
25 For the thing that I fear comes upon me,
and what I dread befalls me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, but trouble comes.”


I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.[1]

"Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness."

Answer 11

1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.
( Hebrews 6 )
