>>25335534God literally telling his prophet to eat shit. Ezekiel 4:12 [12] And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. Also when a women literally called "A Hole abuh" cucked Ezekial to take big eguptian cock that the bible describes as big as donkey dicks. Ezekiel 23:19-21 KJV[19] Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. [20] For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. [21] Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
>>25335534I like any of the ones where Canaanite genocide is celebrated or it’s just walls of text spewing out pointless genealogical records and autistically stupid laws because then I’m immediately reminded that some inbred goat fucking jew had to have written this so it belongs in the trash bin of history
4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Ephesians 1
>>25335571>verses that aren't usually known by average "Christians"it’s a famous passage, which includes a verse that is now proverbial
>>25335534I'm a big fan of the part where the omnipotent creator of the universe can't beat an army because they have chariots of iron.The 50 pages of begats where the Jews all live for 900 years was pretty good too.
>>25336298When read liturgically, the genealogical passages have a numinous beauty.
>The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,>Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:>And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.>And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.The part of Ezekiel in which God initiates an allegory, determines—half-way through—that we’re too stupid to parse it ourselves, and so pauses to explain the punchline. (Then, he carries on with the rest of the joke.)
>>25336298The chariots of iron shook his army's confidence, and in turn, shook their faith in God who commanded the army. Their failure came as a consequence of fear and doubt, not because the chariots were unbeatable.Imagine your dad says he's going to catch you when you jump out of a tree. You don't believe he'll protect you, so you sabotage his catch trying to protect yourself.
>>25335534The entire book of Ecclesiastes is filled with bangers.Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,Before the [a]difficult days come,And the years draw near when you say,“I have no pleasure in them”:While the sun and the light,The moon and the stars,Are not darkened,And the clouds do not return after the rain;In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,And the strong men bow down;When the grinders cease because they are few,And those that look through the windows grow dim;When the doors are shut in the streets,And the sound of grinding is low;When one rises up at the sound of a bird,And all the daughters of music are brought low.Also they are afraid of height,And of terrors in the way;When the almond tree blossoms,The grasshopper is a burden,And desire fails.For man goes to his eternal home,And the mourners go about the streets.Remember your Creator before the silver cord is [b]loosed,Or the golden bowl is broken,Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,Or the wheel broken at the well.Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,And the spirit will return to God who gave it.“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,“All is vanity.”

>>25336450Believe it or not, they did win anyway
>>25335534Ecclesiastes 3:15, where God offhandedly denies the possibility of time travel. Stopped me wasting time, fantasizing about fixing my life. The bible really was written for every age.>That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.James 2:10 also, because it's the silver bullet against that well known misuse of James 2 (when combined with rahob being used as a positive example later on) "thou believest there is one God...", it made me glad when I discovered this application.>For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.Also I'm partial to Ecclesiastes 9:4>For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
>Jeremiah 30:6 Ask now, and see,>can a man bear a child?>Why then do I see every man>with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor?>Why has every face turned pale?

>>25335534Blessed be the lord my rock who trains my hands for war and fingers for battle.
I wonder if Catholic priests recite this from Genesis 19 before molesting children:[30] And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.[31] And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:[32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.[33] And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.[34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.[35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.[36] Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
