Philippians 4:13--I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.\n\nI first learned this verse as a young Christian.  I was a basket case.  On the verge of a mental breakdown, didn't care what I looked like, believed myself to be stupid and uneducated.  My family had spoken horrible things into my life.  Called me w**re, thief, bad mother, fat & ugly, unwanted by my biological mother (I was adopted).  My then pastor showed me this verse.  Told me to say it every time I felt any of the bad things that had been spoken to me.  I did it.  I figured, what did I have to loose?  Since that time, I have lost over 100 pounds, and now work as a manager of a group home for mentally ill adults.  That which my family deemed for bad, GOD made good with this one verse.  I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Matthew 15:22 - 28. A Canaanite woman begs Jesus for help with her daughter, who is possessed. He tells her that he was sent only to help the lost sheep of Israel, because:\n"It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs." -Mat 15:26 (NIV)\n\nDo any of you "Christians" actually read the Bible, or do you just go around insisting that other people read it?

I have many, many Bibles and often use them to compare scriptures which I'm studying.  But for reading and teaching I prefer a modern language text, and one that is TRANSLATED (from original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) as opposed to one that is a VERSION.  My two favorites are The New World Translation and the American Standard Bible.  Also I prefer ones that have footnotes and cross references, which I use a great deal.

I have because I think if you're going to follow a religion that's based on a holy text, it's important to know what that text says.  Yes, Proverbs was good; my favorite was the one about how a good wife is worth more than pearls.  I think it's towards the end.  Leviticus, on the other hand, was dry as dust, and the geneologies were seemingly endless.  I liked the Song of Songs  and Esther.  The Epistles were really interesting because they showed the problems of the early Church and how they dealt with them.  It kind of lent a personal touch that I could relate to.    \n\nOne of the biggest things I realized, though, was that the Gods of the Old and the New Testament really aren't radically different.  There's a lot of love and understanding in the OT that frequently gets skipped over, and ditto for some of the sterner stuff in the NT.  That was kind of a revalation to me.  Still, I need to read it again sometime.  I got a lot out of it, but there are more things I need to go over.

The first one is the most popular verse in the bible; \n\nJohn.3:16\n"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"\n\nMatthew.26:2, \n"You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.\n\nMatthew.26:28\nJesus speaking; "For this is My blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins."\n\nLuke.24:7,46-47\n"saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'\n\n"Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,\nand that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."\n\nI think this should be sufficient and if you need more, just mail me.

The Bible is the instructions given by God for us through his Holy Spirit who wrote it through men.  So, yes, it is VERY important for me, and all other Christians.  It gives us instructions on how to live our lives, what is wrong and what is right, and, most importantly, teaches us about God's gift to us - Salvation.\n\n2 Timothy 3:16\n  \n    "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."   (NIV)

Yielding rocks! My favourite answer was this one...\n\nQuestion:\n\nIs ************ a sin? If yes, where in the Bible?\n\nYieldings Answer:\n\nThe bible says; \n\nThou shalt not ********** with a *********, for thou art a ************ if thou dost. \nLet all ye who ************ be smote with *********** for the ********** is thy ********* and therefore thy *********** will shrivel up and drop off.\nShould thou ************ with a ************ up your ***********, then the ************* shall be thy ***********, and the *********** will be like to that of the ************ on the Jerry Springer show.\n\nROFL!!!! That's just TOO funny!!!

Hymn upon hymn. There are some gorgeous songs I sing at camp, straight from the Bible. My personal favorite is an adaption of be still and know that I am God. I wish I could send you mp3s or something, but most of the hymns I learned were through word of mouth. Try buying a hymnal from your local Christian bookstore, eh?

Mine is Psalm 62:2\n"From the ends of the earth, I out cry to you, Lord.\nWhen my heart is overwhelmed,\nLead me to the rock that is higher than I."\nGood verse. It's gotten me thru a lot.
