Pity that I had to put it there at all, but I know how thin-skinned everyone is these days.
Luther really leveraged that revolution in information technology.
Nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 There is nothing new under the sun.
Psalm 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west......”
Written 4000-5000 years ago and the only way this statement is true is if the writer knew the earth was round.
“What ails you?” Genesis 21:17
What goes around comes around. Or “Whatever a mans sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7
I apologize. I am so used to reading so many religion threads these days where there are real knock down fights that it is easy to mistake sarcasm for an attempted insult.
Good ones. Did you look at the whole list?
God helps those who help themselves. (nowhere in the Bible)
"Money is the root of all evil". - The Bible actually says "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
You are so right. Good idea!
please DON'T.
Oh, those are fun!
Thanks, dear Salvation.
Love that. Very good.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a moral from one of Aesop's Fables. Since Aesop was a Greek slave, living some centuries before Christ, the "god" in the statement would likely be Zeus. Of course, over time, the expression has become familiar and many people think it's biblical.
1 Corinthians: 32 "...Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
and 33 Do not be led astray: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
1 Peter 4: 8 Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins. 4
Don't bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath,
And don't abuse your betters, even in the privacy of your home.
Loose talk has a way of getting picked up and spread around.
Little birds drop the crumbs of your gossip far and wide.
Kind of like, "a little birdie told me".
Now that's funny!
which is why Gutenburg printed the King James Bible, so it would spread far and wide across Europe.
A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. Proverbs 11:22
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. Proverbs 26:11
...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:1
Ahem. The KJV Bible was in English. Nobody spoke English in Europe in the 1500s, at least of any note. The language of the English court was French from William the Conqueror until nearly 1400. Less than 1% of Europe had any idea what English was, much less spoke it.
Do you have a clue as to what languages the first Bibles that Gutenberg published were in?
