What is your favorite story from the Bible?

[ThatDude30]

I have to say my favorite is a toss up between The Book of Ezekiel and Revelations.

 

[deanrd]

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NAB
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

My fave story is the flood, because nobody can tell me how Noah got kangaroos from Australia and back again.

My real fave story though would have been the one about the aliens, but someone edited it out.

Idiotic choice, then.

Then this is not a choice at all.

Why? It stumps all of Christianity. Bar none.

But that story is in the original bible manuscripts, that some noob further down the line took it out matters little.

I like that one ... take responsibility for your actions.

Because stories without resolution are dumb choices. Who gravitates toward such meaninglessness? Besides you, I mean.

And it doesn't stump all Christianity, bar none. It stumps fundamentalist/evangelical Christianity, and even then, not entirely.

It is not a part of the Bible. It is not a choice.

When the donkey made a prophet look like a moron.
The resurrection was a good one too. Of course, that was a good one all the other times it happened to the divine. Why cant we have a recent one? Our ancestors had all the fun :/

It sure stumps you, doesn't it? Otherwise, please explain it. And which denomination can explain it? What's their explanation?

The bible was edited by men more than several times, so it should be there and is still my second fave story.

No, it doesn't stump me. Earth - 'ge' - referred to the land; earth - 'kosmos' - to the world, or better, to everything the Hebrews knew. Their cosmology.

When Daniel says in chapter two of his book, for example, that certain kingdoms ruled the earth, or would rule it (Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, Roman, whatever), he obviously didn't mean the whole world, as no kingdom ever has (no 'earthly' kingdom).

Sadly, many Christians read the Scriptures like a textbook.

You are the who determines what should be in the Bible.

And nobody told me?

Well those are books, not really stories.....
My favorite is the story of Joseph (son of Jacob aka Joseph's coat of many colors)
Want to know what a real man is, it's Joseph (although he was a tad full of himself)

First of all, you're off topic, so why are you responding?

Secondly, you have to move the goalposts for the bible to make any sense to you. Hmmm.

So why does the guy who took that story out of the bible get to decide what's in it or not?
