Tell us, Gif...

Give us your verse(s).

RC

"And lo, did Jesus take it up the jacksie from is 12 'disciples' and verily did he say 'no woman will enter my temple again.'

And that is why the Catholic Church refuse women.

"A senior aide to the Pope and a Vatican chorister have been removed from their posts over allegations of involvement in a homosexual prostitution ring." piece.

Yes Gif I was a bit annoyed because you asked for guesses on the most offensive bit of the bible on TGD thread. I was the only one who tried to guess..which is basically the bit I find most offensive, and you ignored it

As it happens I posted it again today on the 10 commandments thread, but its always worth posting again, so I'll try here.

' Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.'

Exodus 20:5

Oh God maybe I'll maybe get done for spamming...the horriblest verse in the bible, IMO.

Hi Effers,

Sorry, not ignoring you - but if I start telling people whether they've picked 'my' quote, that would give the game away!

But since it's you... no, that's not the one I had in mind (I shouldn't have said 'verse' either, since I'm thinking of a section of several verses).

But that's all I'll say... I'm keeping mum for another 3 weeks...

live a life of love

(Ephesians 5)

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:30

...and the second is similar: Love thy neighbour as thyself

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

To fear the LORD is to hate evil.

Re: Post 303

They was jes' doin' whut Jayzuz sayed..

Can we keep stuff like post 303 to the moral majority thread, please?

This one's stayed remarkably on-topic so far, and it would be a pity to derail it now.

TRiG.

Topic drift is The Hootoo Way(TM)

Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you. 'Look, the Father's imperial rule is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Father's imperial rule is within you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty."

Jesus of Nazareth from the Gospel of Thomas verse 3

If you fast, you will bring sin upon yourselves, and if you pray, you will be condemned, and if you give to charity, you will harm your spirits.
Gospel of Thomas, v14

Gif

I think, in case someone reading this doesn't know, it's worth pointing out that Gif's quote is outside the canon of scripture.

or should I say quotation?

>..and if you give to charity, you will harm your spirits.<

Does that include, giving to 'Non Believers Giving Aid'?

for those who have the mistaken impression that all humans are sinful and in need of repentance:

'Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner: for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea.'

The Prayer of Manasses (King James Version)

i said it before and i'll say it again....with gusto

jesus wept!!!!!!!
