What are some of your favorite passages from the Bible?

 

[StAnselm]

1 John 1:8-9...

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

[RVincent]

It actually varies with what I've been studying recently, or my mood...

(Isa 2:11) The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

(Isa 2:12) For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

(Isa 2:13) And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

(Isa 2:14) And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

(Isa 2:15) And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

(Isa 2:16) And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

(Isa 2:17) And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.​

 

[Lynn73]

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

HI Etienne,

See my signature for one of my favorites.

In Christ,

Daniel

 

[Archangel]

Revelation Chapters 21 and 22, love them because of the hope they bring in lifes darkest hours.

 

[Etienne]

Mine are Psalm 118:5
"In my anguish, I cried to the Lord, and he anwered me by seeting me free."

and 1 Corinthians 1:18
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the Power of God."

 

[herev]

1 John 5:13--we really can know that we are saved--we don't have to hope, think, expect, guess, or anything--we can know it!
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

 

[JohnJones]

Psalm 22:21 "...for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns."

It's one of my favorites because it is so rarely understood. It speaks of the cross. The intersecting horns of two unicrons makes no figure other than that of the cross, from which the Father heard Christ's prayer. Every since I read that in Justin Martyr's dialogue with Trypho the Jew, I was amazed at the power of the Scriptures. And every since I truly meditated on the verse and analyzed it I have been fully assured that no translation other than the KJV is worth reading. The KJV is the only translation I've ever seen that translates the Hebrew right here, and in a host of other verses which appear very obscure until you look at them from a Messianic light with true spiritual insight.

As for unicorns being mythological, the word merely means "one-horned" and the animal being referred to is most likely the Elasmotherium, a "pre-historic" (as far as atheists are concerned but not in reality) rhino that was much larger and whose horn was not merely compacted hair but a real horn which protruded from the center of it's face.

These references are 'clickable'.

Psalm 103

1 Samuel 4-7 - (esp. Chpts 5-6) - the Ark of God is captured/the Ark is returned to Israel. It is simply amazing to take a close look and see all miraculous events that transpire within this small passage of Scripture.
