What is your favorite book of the bible?

Question

and verse? And why? I'll choose what I think is the best reason
God bless you all =)

Answer 1

Romans

Chapter 1: Verse 16

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile."
______________________________

I love this verse because it is a continual reminder that I am completely dependent on Christ Jesus. This verse encourages and motivates me to just keep sharing the gospel message with anyone who will listen because the power of God is in His message!

Answer 2

Depends on which version of the Bible you mean. The King James version was heavily edited by King James, Constantine's Nicene Council left out several Books including the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch, among others collectively known as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Apocrypha. The Ethiopian churches recognize Enoch as being a valid Book of the Bible. There is also a Book that details the youth and young adulthood of Christ which was left out at Nicea, I believe, because it tells of miracles Christ performed that seem well, frivolous, such as forming a sculpture of a bird from clay - and then bringing it to life, or resurrecting a playmate who had died when he fell from a roof. I personally like Jubilees the best, as it tells more about Adam and Eve, Adam's first wife Lilith, and the beginnings of history, and how the Nephilim gave rise to all the mythologies or false religions in the world in an attempt to subvert true faith, and how they begat the Gibborim, or giants, in an effort to pollute human DNA and therefore prevent the human incarnation of Christ. (This is what it means that Noah was "perfect in his generations" - he was a pure human, with an unpolluted pedigree going back to Adam.)

Answer 3

I like to read Genesis because it answers many questions. For example, why was the age of man reduced before the great flood? Man was living to 600, 900, etc.

Answer: Gen 6: 1: When angels from heaven and daughters of men were having relationships, this upset God. He said that man would no age as before. He determined 120 years would be man's limit on earth (except for Noah and his family). The rebellion of the angels and man resulted in the flood. Noah and his family were the only ones saved.

Another: Did it rain when the earth was formed?
ANSWER: NO, there was a mist and streams that watered the earth. Gen. 2:6

I also like to read about Elijah who was taken up in a chariot to heaven in: II Kings 2

Also, Elisha asking for a double portion of what Elijah had. That is one of my prayers, to have a double portion of what God has to offer!

II Kings 2: 9 "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit."

Answer 4

The book of Psalms and Proverbs are my favorite books of the Bible...for me to just pick one is hard...it has such beautiful praises to Jehovah God and practical advice for us today and also words of wisdom from the repentful King David who had sinned greatly. But my favorite scripture is in Isaiah 1:18: “Come, now, YOU people, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah. “Though the sins of YOU people should prove to be as scarlet, they will be made white just like snow; though they should be red like crimson cloth, they will become even like wool.".....I love it because it really shows how merciful Jehovah is and how he forgets our sins if we truly repent...he does not look back at our past to judge us if we have made changes...

Answer 5

Revelation, probably the first 8 verses.

It shows us that the true focus of the book of Revelation (and that of the entire Bible for that matter) is to understand and apply the character of Jesus into our own lives (Rev 1:1), and that we actually can understand what the Bible has to tell us through prophecy (Revelation means to reveal or uncover). It then continues to tell about what that character is (Jesus wants to come back for us, He died for us, He is the "firstborn from the dead", ruler over the kings of the earth, and wants to make us kings and priests to serve Him as well)

Amazing book

Answer 6

Ecclesiastes is my favorite.
A lot of folks frown on this book because the writer who was in God's favor proved to be human and allowed for the things of this system to get to him. The teacher in the book of Ecclesiastes recorded his own experiences with disappointment,wealth,wisdom,and pleasure.
This books purpose is to show that life is meaningless without God. The book teaches one to fear God and his commandments.

Answer 7

Revelation is my fav book from the Bible because I can't wait for the resurrection of the dead so I can see my family members that have fallen asleep in death. Its just so encouraging to read these Scriptures and know that Jehovah won't back down on his promise of the resurrecting the ones who have fallen asleep in death.

Revelation 20:12, 13
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha´des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds."

Revelation 21:3, 4
3 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Revelation 15:3, 4.
“3 And they are singing the song of Moses the slave of God and the song of the Lamb, saying:
Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity. 4 Who will not really fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, because you alone are loyal? For all the nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous decrees have been made manifest.”

Also reading about the Seven Angels sounding the Seven Trumpets in Revelation. We have just read this in our Bookstudy meeting, the book we are studying is Revelation Its Grand Climax at Hand! I like how it explaines what is to come about when Jehovah brings plagues on Christendom.

Revelation 9:4-6: "4 And they were told to harm no vegetation of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was granted the [locusts], not to kill them, but that these should be tormented five months, and the torment upon them was as torment by a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 And in those days the men will seek death but will by no means find it, and they will desire to die but death keeps fleeing from them."

Revelation 9:16-18: "And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads: I heard the number of them. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in the vision, and those seated on them: they had fire-red and hyacinth-blue and sulphur-yellow breastplates; and the heads of the horses were as heads of lions, and out of their mouths fire and smoke and sulphur issued forth. 18 By these three plagues a third of the men were killed, from the fire and the smoke and the sulphur which issued forth from their mouths."

Answer 8

John chapter 3
Hebrews 7,8,9
Psalm 118
1 Corinthians 16

Answer 9

Proverbs is my favorite book because it's like little quotes of wisdom for every problem you can think of.

Proverbs 3:5 is my favorite verse because it tells us to place our trust in Jehovah, and that sums it up for me.

Answer 10

I am sort of partial to the Book of Luke...it seems to be the most complete history of the life and times of Jesus of the four gospels.
