Re: Favorite Bible Verse

Cattle die, kinsmen die; the self must also die. I know one thing which never dies: the reputation of each dead man

Dear Person,

You are interested in the Hávamál. A nice, magnificent collection of pagan poetry, alluring and seductive and ultimately at best useless and at worst harmful! What about the next verse?

Deyr fé,
deyja frændur,
deyr sjálfur ið sama.
Ég veit einn,
að aldrei deyr;
dómur um dauðan hvern.

I do know that the word "dómur" has been translated variably as "glory" or even "reputation" but if we consider comparative Germanistics, the best option is "verdict". This is where the Vikings stopped. However, True Faith™ can go further.

We can tell you about the verdict, the Judgment!

Revelation 20:13-15
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Who cannot be found in the Book of Life?

John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Hávamál cannot Save you. Only Jesus can! No matter how regal and uplifting the Hávamál verses be, they can still only lead you to utter Destruction. Keeping this in mind you might visit our Special Forum here and tell more about the verses of the Bible that you find the most uplifting!


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

My favorite bible verse is from the Book of Tobias

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL .

Raca sis venturus ad inferos

According to my linguistic expertise, Brother Gonzalez, the text above is in a very antiquated and rather obscure dialect of Spanish. It is from a perversion of the Holy Bible which is more commonly known as The Vulgar Bible (it really tells you about the "quality" of its contents!).

While I can read with relative ease Spanish documents dating back to the 16th century, the Spanish dialect which was spoken at the time when the Vulgar Bible was written (the 4th century) is much more obscure. However, I understand it well enough to tell you that this unholy book our Romeo here is referring to is not included in the One and Only True Bible™, which is the King James Version.

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

My favorite bible verse is from the Book of Tobias

(Tobit 13:1-18)
[1] Aperiens autem Tobias senior os suum, benedixit Dominum, et dixit: Magnus es, Domine, in aeternum, et in omnia saecula regnum tuum: [2] quoniam tu flagellas, et salvas: deducis ad inferos, et reducis: et non est qui effugiat manum tuam. [3] Confitemini Domino, filii Israel, et in conspectu gentium laudate eum: [4] quoniam ideo dispersit vos inter gentes, quae ignorant eum, ut vos enarretis mirabilia ejus, et faciatis scire eos quia non est alius deus omnipotens praeter eum. [5] Ipse castigavit nos propter iniquitates nostras, et ipse salvabit nos propter misericordiam suam.
[6] Aspicite ergo quae fecit nobiscum, et cum timore et tremore confitemini illi: regemque saeculorum exaltate in operibus vestris. [7] Ego autem in terra captivitatis meae confitebor illi: quoniam ostendit majestatem suam in gentem peccatricem. [8] Convertimini itaque peccatores, et facite justitiam coram Deo, credentes quod faciat vobiscum misericordiam suam. [9] Ego autem, et anima mea in eo laetabimur. [10] Benedicite Dominum omnes electi ejus: agite dies laetitiae, et confitemini illi.
[11] Jerusalem civitas Dei, castigavit te Dominus in operibus manuum tuarum. [12] Confitere Domino in bonis tuis, et benedic Deum saeculorum: ut reaedificet in te tabernaculum suum, et revocet ad te omnes captivos, et gaudeas in omnia saecula saeculorum. [13] Luce splendida fulgebis: et omnes fines terrae adorabunt te. [14] Nationes ex longinquo ad te venient, et munera deferentes adorabunt in te Dominum, et terram tuam in sanctificationem habebunt: [15] nomen enim magnum invocabunt in te.
[16] Maledicti erunt qui contempserint te, et condemnati erunt omnes qui blasphemaverint te: benedictique erunt qui aedificaverint te. [17] Tu autem laetaberis in filiis tuis, quoniam omnes benedicentur, et congregabuntur ad Dominum. [18] Beati omnes qui diligunt te, et qui gaudent super pace tua. [19] Anima mea, benedic Dominum, quoniam liberavit Jerusalem civitatem suam a cunctis tribulationibus ejus Dominus Deus noster. [20] Beatus ero si fuerint reliquiae seminis mei ad videndam claritatem Jerusalem.
[21] Portae Jerusalem ex sapphiro et smaragdo aedificabuntur, et ex lapide pretioso omnis circuitus murorum ejus. [22] Ex lapide candido et mundo omnes plateae ejus sternentur: et per vicos ejus, Alleluja cantabitur. [23] Benedictus Dominus, qui exaltavit eam, et sit regnum ejus in saecula saeculorum super eam. Amen.

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

My favorite bible verse is Psalms 31:24 - Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. I love this one as it shows the braver you are the more stronger you will be to defeat satan and his hellbound scum.

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

my favorite bible verse is Leviticus 15: 19-20


"When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean".

That's lovely, I suppose.... Although I do question why a self-proclaimed male would have such a vested interest in something that belongs in Auntie's Flow Prayer Shack for Women?

...The Most MISUNDERSTOOD Passage in All the Bible (Matthew 7:1-5)

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

Unsaved trash
Under Investigation

(Luke 6:37-42; Romans 14:1-12)

i 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

i 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

i 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

i 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

i 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

The above words I cannot find in the KJV of the Bible. Then again many people played a hand in compiling/writing the Holy Bible, the KJV.

Never-the-less it is the intent that counts.

in my view the intent was clear enough in the Old & the New

There are other books that try to convey the same message. (:-

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

(Deu 10:19 KJV) Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Who be the stranger-?

Palestinian perhaps-?

God was very obviously talking to the Hebrew, and Moses in specific. If you had actually read the passage in context instead of cherry picking, you would have known that.

What is it with atheists, false Christians, and false religion followers that they are unable to read the most important book in the world in context?

Re: Favorite Bible Verse

Some have self-serving interpretations and then we have the KJV

There the term "stranger" is used 128 times...,,.,. in the KJV

Care to define the meaning of the term "stranger" according to your books interpretation-?
