This (at least for the Gideons with the Gideons Bibles; Idk about the Mormons for sure)
Hotels often have a box, or even a few boxes, of spare Bibles because the Gideons want the Bibles to get worn out and/or taken and read.
t. literally asked to have a Bible from a hotel I was staying at once and was given one

When Jesus says the sexually immoral will not enter the kingdom of heaven he's getting his definition of sexual immorality from leviticus where all the rules are outlined. Every moral teaching of jesus he is pulling directly from the old testament.

Matthew 22:36-40
>Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
>Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
>This is the first and great commandment.
>And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
>On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5
>Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Leviticus 19:18: You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

Would it be a good idea to cut out the in side of the Bible and put a used weapon in there? As oppose probably somebody would find it after a couple weeks, but then, when they have no idea how it got there? Into it came from? Or do all hotels check ID now? As I recall, nobody checks ID at the motels that they stay in in the book no country for old men

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 27 03:53:35 2021 No.17879349 >>17874372 Read it. Then return it to the hotel with your sincerest apologies.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 27 06:01:56 2021 No.17879795 >>17879273 They do check ID and that is literally the dumbest way to dispose of a weapon I've ever heard.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 27 06:06:35 2021 No.17879807 >>17879795 But it would be hidden inside the bible and after a few guests it will not be clear who put it there

>>17876388

this isn't entirely true/untrue. Jesus still teaches us to follow the commandments so >17874421 still applies. However many rules of the old law no longer apply. No sacrifice, etc.

>>17874457
To ignore the OT would be foolish, to follow the laws of Moses would be silly as you're essentially LARPing as a Jew. Unless you are Jewish...

>>17874372
Anyway OP, read it, or at least read the gospels and return it after you have acquired another bible for yourself, any half decent church will give you one.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 27 11:53:27 2021 No.17881473 Read Mark, then Romans, then John. Gives you an idea of what it's all about in the shortest time possible.
