My Favorite Scripture

[athnostic]

Hey, this section says to have fun, so here we go! Here's a passage of Scripture that always gives me some jollies.

20 "And if a man beats his male or female slave with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished. 21 Notwithstanding, if he remains alive a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he is his property." Exodus 21

Deuteronomy 25:11-12

11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

[ebilekittae]

Mine is 1 Chorinthians 2:14

"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Foolishness indeed. Yet apparently it's simultaneously foolishness and self-evident, say the scriptures. Quite possibly self-evidently foolish.

Ooooh, that one's a gem too. Don't mess with the family jewels!

[Moshe]

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
