Hear that? no cotton poly blends you sinners

I'm reading the Bible tonight

Bible...what's that?

And Jesus said...

"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."

John 3:20

"Blessed are the cheese makers."

el jeffe-

verse?

not really - prose.

“What was that?”
”I don’t know. I was too busy talking to Bignose.”
”I think it was ‘Blessed are the cheesemakers.’”
”Ah, what’s so special about the cheesemakers?”
”Well, obviously, it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.”

To whom much is given. Much is expected.

Ephesians 2:11-22

In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22 in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.

........ the Architecture of Faith straight out of Google.

Job 38 - Coolest of book in all of the Old Testament, and good literary evidence that the Christian god was not only a badass, but also an architect.

Ezekial 25:17

And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

makes me chuckle every time i hear it

Jesus wept

Yea, and I bet their chuckling in Indonesia right now too.

'am i my brother's keeper?'

>established that, yes, in fact, if we are to participate by the rules of the hebrew/christian god, we are our brothers' keepers. right there in the first book. take note, mr. bush.

people still read the bible? oh shit...i forgot...most of you are american. carry on!

despite its misuse by just about everyone, it's still a great and important piece of literature. it's also an important cultural touchstone, the basis of our western mythology. its stories and characters are used metaphorically on a regular basis....even in toronto, i bet.

ditto.

i have read the bible, not for religious enlightenment - but for cultural insights I guess

an interesting read, no doubt, as my first post proves.

The wrath of God type stuff has always been a personal favorite of mine. But alas, the verse I chose at my confirmation is the one I follow the least. I don't own a copy of the Bible (I'm rather non-practicing), so I don't have the verse number, but it's from Matthew, something about "Ye have heard that it is said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, but I say, whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also"

Forgive thy neighbor. Bah!

.mm

I did't come to bring you peace, I came to bring you freedom.

Adam, Lilith/Eve, angel

From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
Matthew 24:32-36

Maybe not verbatim from the Bible, but I try to live the sentiment:

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

i think it might be exodus 10:12 .. i forgot the actual chapter and verse but in 2 locations the bible says

"... eat all the herb of the land.."

and..

"make use of all the herb of the land..."


and so i spark my dutch and smoke that blunt. =)

since when did only americans read the bible? did i miss something?

well as you know after the elections our nation split into the 'united states of canada' and 'jesus land'

Part One:
Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Part Two:
This is a copy of an e-mail that indicates the axis of the earth
changed and the length of the day changed as a result of the recent
earthquake.

Dear colleagues,

the devastating earthquake in the Indian Ocean on December 26 shows
its traces even in the Earth's rotation. Preliminary results from
the CODE rapid analysis for the IGS indicate a displacement of the
rotation axis by about 3mas (or 8cm on the Earth's surface) with
respect to the prediction from Bulletin A. The length of day changed
by nearly 0.1 msec/day.

You may find plots of the CODE rapid pole parameters together with
Bulletin A predicted values under

http://www.aiub.unibe.ch/code/dec26_pole_x.gif
http://www.aiub.unibe.ch/code/dec26_pole_y.gif

The rapid analysis did not show significant displacement of the
tracking stations around the Indian Ocean processed by CODE except
for NTUS (Singapore) for which the measurements indicate a
displacement of 2cm in westward direction.
That an earthquake influences the Earth's rotation underlines the
inconceivable extent of this catastrophical natural disaster.

Best regards

Was it in Infants 22.5 Beta Version that Michael said that thing about drinking the Jesus Juice to all those little kids?

"Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death."

el jeffe- you a python fan?

lifted from tarantino...

Well there's this passage I got memorized. 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 the 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 attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never gave much thought what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See now I'm thinkin', maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9 Milimeter here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. Now I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd...
