In Matthew 27:42\n\n"He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.\n\nThat's the closest I can find.\n\nYou probably typed in the wrong statement?

We had this read at our wedding. It's from Genisis, chapter 2\n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. \n      But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman, [k] ' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. \n\n \nI think verse 24 is what you're looking for.

yes...  The bible says it directly in :  James Chapter.4,  Verse.17\nTherefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.       KJV\nI knew that verse was in there somewhere but it took me some time to find it, being in the small but important and powerfull part of the bible.\n"the person who does not do the good he knows he should do, is guilty of sin"    Today's English Version\n\nAnd it says it indirectly too, many times, for example when Jesus was upset that even the religious leaders were complacent not to \nstop the money-changing in the temple;  \nAlso when he saved he saved the animal's life on the sabbath, showing that non-complacency in order to save a life was the right thing to do, even at the expense of the technical regulations not to work on the sabbath,  It seemed more sinful to be complacent, not to help a living creature than to break the rules about sabbath.\n\nand the example of the diligent Pharisee in a hurry to the temple and complacently ignoring someone along the way who was injured or needed help, was a hypocrite, for wanting to show up for his job, but not helping out someone in need as he should have.

Who was it that said something like "You can feed a man a fish and that would take away his hunger for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he can feed himself for a lifetime." The problem can't be solved by moving people between point A to B, but rather by teaching them how to help themselves through education....

That is the sentence...Jesus was making a point about his diety. God was often refered to as I am... When moses was sent to free gods people he was told to tell pharoh i am said to let my people go. He was also letting the people know that he was around many years before he was born a man.

The Lost Chapter of Genesis\n \nAdam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely. \n\nSo God asked him, "What's wrong with you?" \n\nAdam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. \n\nGod said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. \nHe said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. \n"She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you!  "She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. \n"She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." \n\nAdam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" \n\nGod replied, "An arm and a leg." \n\nSo Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" \n\nThe rest is history....

That phrase is in my Hav Torah-"ve'et hacharonim ani hu".  You might be reffering to it when it was used at another time, but here, the whole sentence goes "And all the others, I am him/them", reffering to Him being the only God, all the others-all the other "God's" that people would think exist-I am them.  Get it?

Ask them where in the Bible it says, "God helps those who help themselves." Just remember that people want to argue and think that they can "bull" their way through sounding like an intellectual. It won't work with God, so they should just be honest with themselves.

Who's the quote from?\n\nWe are to fish for men/women with the truth of God's Word. When you fish you use bait or a lure. You dangle the bait enticingly and don't beat them over the head with it.\n\nGod and His Word do the cleaning.

I Corinthians 10:12 \n\nAnd so finally after many more months of work, all the sages came back to him, and they had come to a unanimous conclusion that the wisdom of the world could be put into a four-word sentence. They told the king that this sentence expresses much. It is chastening in the hour of pride and consoling in the depths of afflictions. And I've reflected on this sentence this week. The sentence of their wisdom was: "This too shall pass."
