"Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There, she lusted after her lovers' whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of a horse."

IS THIS A REAL VERSE
THIS CANT BE A REAL VERSE
IM DIEING HERE

EDIT: "Then because of the dire straits to which you will be reduced when your enemy besieges you, you will eat your own children, the flesh of your sons and daughters whom the Lord has given you."


What book is that from? I'm assuming the first portion is an allusion to slavery in Egypt in Exodus. The second is probably another "you dun ******** up" which is basically the whole OT. The Israelites beg God for good things, and he tells them not to do the thing, then they do the thing and incur his wrath.

The most important thing to me about approaching scripture is that each book has a different author, writing from a different place and time, with a different agenda to push. Depending on some translations, the language and stuff can seem weird, but it's an old text, so it would be different.

My personal favorite WTF Bible verse is the story of Jesus withering the fig tree. It's a weird a** story because it states in the text that it's not fig season, but Jesus still gets piss that the fig tree has no fruit and kills it. We talked about that story when I took a Gospels and Acts class, and the best answer to why he did the was "******** if I know."

Each book doesn't have a different author. Romans, 1st Corinthians, 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1st Thessalonians, 2nd Thessalonians, 1st Timothy, 2nd Timothy, Titus, and Philemon were all written by the apostle Paul. If you're going to try and bash the Bible, at least know what you're talking about. LOL

I bet you know exactly what you're talking about when you bash on the Quran and evolution. LOL cat_rolleyes

Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that I don't embrace science. Also I'm not one of those idiots who believes the earth is only 6,000 years old. You can actually use passages of the Bible to disprove that the earth is 6,000 years old. In regards to bashing Quran, why would I want to offend someone if I want to win them over to my faith?

My in-laws think nothing like that, unfortunately. I didn't mean to personally attack you, sorry~
I misread the tittle and thought that it said, " the beautiful words from Christian Bale."

It's alright. Whenever someone isn't sure about the methods in which I practice my faith, I just let them know where I stand on the matter so there isn't anymore.confusion. smile

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:18 )

I also like the Magnificat, or Mary's Song

My soul doth magnify the Lord : and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me : and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm : he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things : and the rich he hath sent empty away.

Why not try looking at the context? This was metaphorical language, used by Ezekiel to describe how Jerusalem turned away from what was right by committing idolatry. Also, in all the other versions it says their flesh were like donkeys and their issue like horses. I'm not sure why it changed in NIV

Quote:
Then because of the dire straits to which you will be reduced when your enemy besieges you, you will eat your own children, the flesh of your sons and daughters whom the Lord has given you.

This is part of a list of consequences of what could happen if the people under Moses turn on God; their land would be devastated and people would become so desperate for food, they'd turn to cannibalism.

Doesnt matter to me either way. I dont believe in the bible and it has too many ******** up scenarios. I wont bash anyone for believing it, but atleast acknowledge that some things written in it are completely unmoral and absurd

I dont see why they wouldnt just move.....or hunt.........or regrow their own food. Id rather eat my neighbors than my children too

God was very wrathful in the Old Testament. The birth of Jesus in the New Testament introduced a loving and peaceful God....except when you get into Revelation. That is just scary.
