Admin	Fun with verses Posted : 3 Feb, 2011 05:43 PM Let's see how long we can keep this going. I would like to play a game where we make an obscure reference to a verse in the Bible (doesn't have to be well known) and see if some one can guess it. According to wisdom literature, what happens to a tree when it falls? What is the verse? Post Reply

He read it and realized how true it was, and he realized that he could trust God�s word. Even he admits that it was weird. Post Reply

For she leaves her eggs to the earth, and lets them warm on the dust; and forgets that a foot may crush it, or the beast of the field may trample it; she treats her young roughly, as if they are not hers; for her labor is vanity without fear; because God has made her forget wisdom; and He has not given to her a share in understanding.

She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. In chapters 38 and 39 God is discussing the wonders of nature and animal life with Job. The �Which leaveth her eggs� would be an ostrich according to verse 13. Post Reply

Adam was given the name above all names Jesus . He is the first and last...for it is though ONE man sin entered and existed. Post Reply

View Profile History	Fun with verses Posted : 4 Feb, 2011 12:50 PM Are you speaking of Acts 23:5 (NASB) 5 And Paul said, "I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, 'YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK EVIL OF A RULER OF YOUR PEOPLE.'" Which references Exodus 22:28 (NASB) 28 "You shall not curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people. Post Reply

Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. Post Reply
