nathaniel 0 #26 November 8, 2008 Quote Deuteronomy 23:10 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) 10 If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proverbs 21:9 Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife. Proverbs 19:13 A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

SpeedRacer 1 #28 November 9, 2008 Quote My favorite is Numbers 22:28 "Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" And what should be the next verse: "And Balaam replied, "Holy crap, a talking donkey!" A close second, Matthew 4:5 "Then the devil took him (Jesus) to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down." (A nod to HWalter.) Yup, I've been tempted like that. Only was able to fight temptation because of funky winds. Also, makes me wonder what canopy he had. Jesus was a BASE jumper?

HWalter 0 #29 November 10, 2008 No, Jesus was only tempted. The basejumper was the guy who took him to the object. Two out of the three temptations refer to possible base objects. Altitude is a major theme if you can tempt even Jesus with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HWalter 0 #30 November 10, 2008 Jesus canopy might have been a Spirit 230 - same as my first. Matthew 4:1 "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeregrineFalcon 0 #32 November 10, 2008 My favorite is the entire laundry list of things God tells Moses he wants his alter to look like. I can't remember if it's Exodus or Leviticus or a combination, but he goes into this vivid description in how to build the alter with this size gold and that color curtains and a slew of other things. I thought to myself, "God is an interior decorator from Queer Eyes for the Straight Guy?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #33 November 10, 2008 They get really detailed about it. Also they describe in exact detail how to make the Ark of the Covenant, with winged cherubim on the top etc. I wonder if anyone rich enough to afford all that gold has ever made an exact replica. You could do it with the amount of detailed info in the Bible. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
