Lets play bible roulette ...

[geetrue]

First thing that caught my eye this morning while playing bible roulette ...

You know where you open the bible and wherever the finger stops is what you read ...

You can also play it with a mouse and your laptop or PC if you have bible software. Just put the pointer on the slider and click or drag and then let go to see what you find.

This was my morning gem:

Psalm 25:4–5 (NKJV)

4 Show me Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.

No cheating now ... none of that pick and choose.

Lets have fun with bible roulette

[Andrea411]

actually the first thing I hit was a commentary on Ephesians... so I closed and started over

Romans 2:12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

God bless, andrea

1 Samuel 18

James 1:5–8 (NKJV)

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

 

[Rebecca Sue]

O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart.
O God, you will not despise.

Psalm 51:15-17

 

[Svt4Him]

I was telling this to my friend and he pointed out that it is quite common in pagan religions to read scriptures this way. Not really sure how I feel about it.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

oh yes . i recall back in the 1990s, picking a random scripture and using it for guidance was listed as a form of divination on a wiccan site .

 

[geetrue]

It's just a fun way to start the day ... how many clues do you need that the Word of God is like medicine?


St Mark 14:16-19 KJV

16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

As a young Christian I found it awful.... and yes very pagan like.

Ya, I think if it's done for fun vs done for a true belief that that's how God works it may be different. See, still thinking about it!

 

[Alithis]

Yes, I don't remember what it was the first time I did it. I did it seriously asking God to tell me to do something. It was quite awhile before I did that again. :o
but if its done in fun, it is what it is... and we can laugh about it.

 

[Alithis]

Well yup..the story was always told in humour

Galatians 6:7–8 (NKJV)

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

 

[Frogster]

lighten up, this is a fun thread, not pagan, or divination, or..or...or...


Acts 1:26 Then they cast lots, and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven.

1 Thessalonians 2:1-4

 

[geetrue]

1 Peter1:5-7

God’s power protects you through your faith until salvation is shown to you at the end of time. This makes you very happy, even though now for a short time different kinds of troubles may make you sad. These troubles come to prove that your faith is pure. This purity of faith is worth more than gold, which can be proved to be pure by fire but will ruin. But the purity of your faith will bring you praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is shown to you.
