Can we put this verse in context please?
960837
The Oxford Annotated Bible gives the annotations for Chapter 20 of Leviticus a lead-off of "Penalties for violating the rule of the theocratic community."  The paragraph it is located in deals with various sexual relations which are prohibited and their various punishments.  To the people of the time, animals were pure property, and there was really nothing about "animal cruelty".  It also mentions that a man who has relations with both a mother and daughter, well, all three of them are to be burned to death.

I dont know, perhaps but you would have to talk to the person who wrote said verse to find out what they were talking about.

A few of the above suggestions are excellent!\nHowever, my favorite passage by far to comfort believers who have lost a loved one is this:\n\n1 Thessalonians 4:13-18\n13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. \n14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.\n15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. \n16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. \n17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. \n18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.\n\n= \nI like it all the more, as even the last verse in this scripture exhorts us to use those very words for the purpose you are asking!\n\nBut I also love the John 11:25, Romans 8, and Revelation 21 verses given by other people who have answered.\n\nMay God be with you as you comfort others with your words, even with His words.

It's hard to say. Many times when you take things like that out of context, they can lose a lot of their meaning. However, it seems to me that he was saying that he would send prophets to us to help show us the way.

They are trying to get the Word out. (pun intended)\n\nThere are many people who will see the verse at a sporting event. They are hoping that some will check it out in the Bible and read about God's love.

None if your reading the KJV.

Well, lets not take this out of context, here is the whole passage: \n\n\n 33"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. \n 34"You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. \n\n 35"The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. \n\n 36"But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. \n\n 37"For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." \n\nBasically Jesus was speaking to the scribes and Pharisees as they where questioning his words and actions.  \n\nTo me, the Pharisees where trying to trip up Jesus with their words.  Jesus rebuked them. \n\n Basically, I believe it is saying that our character is known by what we say and what we do.  If we say and do good then good will come to us, however, if we say and do bad then bad will come to us in the end.  God take an account of all we do here on earth, one day we will be judged.\n\nGod Bless You and Peace be with you.

I think that verse reveals a lot of modern evanglicalism to be out of step with Scripture. We have a very friendly, easy gospel preached in America where salvation is all up to us. John 6 teaches its not up to us at all in fact we contribute nothing to our own salvation including the will to believe. We are so totally depraved in our sin that we cannot even worship God unless he makes us worshippers. Very humbling.

You jackass. the verse (8:68) refers to distribution of spoils of war. Now, anymore FAKE KORANIC VERSES I NEED TO READ?\n\nWho's the one embarrased now?\n\nEDIT:I want to make it clear. This verse is not taken out of the context because IT WAS NEVER IN THE CONTEXT!! It's fictitious.

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

Yes, i think so.  If you are referring to the Bible, then you are referring to a particular verse or verses.  For the purposes of citation, use the name of the Book, followed by chapter and verse, (e.g., "John 3:12," or "Ecclesiastes 9:11").  Make sure to include which version of the Bible you are referencing (e.g., King James) in your bibliography or works-cited page.\n\nGood Luck!

rachell12 is right, but you might also want to put the bible you are citing from, like NIV (New International Version), KJV (King James Version) insider of the parenthesis as well.  Like: God is Loving (John 23:2  NIV)   Not an actual bible verse, sorry. \n\nI learned this when I was a legal steno and had to type lots and lots of motions with cites from law books.  Yuck!

Did you know that John 3:16 perfectly sums up the entire message of the Bible? http://tinyurl.com/ojljl\n\nIf I were to try and rewrite it, it would be imperfect.\n____________________\nYou sent me an email but I cannot reply as your email address has not been "confirmed".
