Secular Pinoy

Well, I would've hoped this thread would be restricted to "good" bible quotes, those even secularists would approve of. We all know the bible has a lot of bad and disgusting verses (try reading the instructions for guilt offerings and how to cure lepers in the Pentateuch), and those bible verses Christians say are good, but aren't because they are religious in nature (John 3:16). So we don't really need such verses here.

I had nearly forgotten the Song of Solomon...particularly 7 ~

7:1

How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

7:2

Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

7:3

Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

7:4

Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

7:5

Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

7:6

How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

7:7

This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

7:8

I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

7:9

And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

7:10

I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

7:11

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

7:12

Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

7:13

The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

An excellent example of biblical prophecy! This couldn't possibly be talking about anyone but me.

If any prophecy did come true, this is the one I would want:

Isaiah 2:4

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

abe smith

you've limited the "verse" to "bible"? (for better or for ). Why?

What pops up @ the mo is (probably ecclesiastes>>) "Of the making of many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Abe

I'm rather partial to a few, for different reasons.

I like the one in 2 Kings about the bears tearing up 42 young people because they made fun of Elishah's bald head.

I like John 3:17 because it just points out how hippocritical some people are being when they quote you John 3:16 and have no idea what the very next line says.
