Ping for later
You also will not find anything about Jesus being your “personal savior” nor will you find the expression “go to heaven.”
Okay, so they are the Reader’s Digest form of the actual proverbs.
Well, at least we still have “from each according to his ability to each according to his need.”
I hope I don’t need a sarcasm tag on that... ;-)
What about “Abortion is sacred?”
God helps those who help themselves.
I always thought that “Spare the rod, spoil the child” was an admonition against artificial insemination. :=)
Good one!
Throweth open thy Gates and Borders. Welcome all ye strangers without discernment or discretion.
YEAH!!! And there's no Bible verse about pizza being bad for you, either! So there!
;-)
A lie in time saves nine...
8^D
Let the spankings begin!!!!!
A penny saved is a penny tithed.
Maybe it’s ‘cause I read the bible, but the only one I remotely attributed to the bible was the “spare the rod” one, and it gets the point of the verse in proverbs to a degree. The “money is the root...” one is one of my favorites to bring up because by simply removing the phrase “the love of” the meaning is completely and utterly changed and destroyed.
I’ve not heard any of the others attributed to the bible. I saw them as “a stitch in time saves nine” sorts of sayings, if I had ever heard them at all.
Haughty, another name for liberal.

I notice that one of the differences between God’s relationship with man in the old testiment and the new testament is that His relationship was mainly with the nation, whereas in the new testament Jesus is our priest in the order of Melchizedek and our direct relationship with God. And he IS God in the flesh. And, most importantly, it is personal, one-on-one.

And what about “He that forsaketh the Ford and embraceth the Chevy doth do good in the sight of God. But he who forsaketh the Chevy in total acceptance of the Ford doth do a great and perilous evil.”
