Need help finding scripture

[The unEnlightened]

I know that I have been less then appealable on this website, but I have decided to stop arguing with the good people here. I have picked up the bible as I am searching for scripture that I can use in an upcoming essay I am writing. If you people here can forgive me I need your help finding verses that help to promote a general theme of certain topics (I am looking for these myself but I would like to have a little help):

~The Sacrament of Confirmation~
~Retribution on those who attack christian beliefs~
~Inner strength for being persecuted as a Christian~

There are a couple more but this is what I need to start with. If you could help me out I would be much appreciative.

Hm, the only advice I can give you is: read the Bible yourself.
I mean, anybody can just request a few quotes and "get it over with."
But in my understanding that simply means you are not devoted to it and you are just being very lazy.

Read the Bible yourself and you will be able to write the essay on your own.

Have you read this thread:
Persecution of Christians: the evidence file?

There might be some good information in there for you.

2. Numbers 21: 5-7
5And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

6And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

These people spoke against God and his followers, so God sent venomous snakes to feast upon their sinful flesh.

3. 1 Peter 4:12-13
12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Matthew 5:10-12
10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

~The Sacrament of Confirmation~

If you want to know where in the Bible the papists find support for their mythology, "nowhere" is always a good guess.

Thanks to everyone who has been helping me. For one thing Im not being lazy, as Im still reading my own bible. Right now Im focusing on the book of Matthew and the Psalms. If anyone else could help me out that would be great.

Read Leviticus each night before bed. It's better than a fuzzy blanket.
