Favourite Passages in the Bible
What are your favourite Bible passages? I like the one behind the Dog and Duck on Sodom High Street.

"Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me...Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
Matt 25:34-36...40 |

Deuteronomy 23:13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
23:14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp... :rolling: |

Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG gime some of that old time pulp fiction vengeance! |

Revelation 22:16: I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
The morning star, in French, is called "Lucifer", or the bringer of light. Here jesus is saying that he is satan. |

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. |

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.
This says nothing about holding particular beliefs, performing particular practices, holding to particular doctrines, etc. Be a good person and take care of those in need. |

I've always been somewhat partial to the book of Ecclesiastes; I think it's the most honest of biblical writings, though I think it was tampered with, esp. the end, so as to put God back in. I don't think that originally he was in there.
