Hey /lit/, what is your favourite bible passage?

Mine would have to be

"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, render unto God the things which are God's."

>> No.2694465

The passage would be worth pondering if god existed.

SO BRAVE

This thread actually has a lot a potential (it's too bad I'm not too acquainted with the bible).

So I'll offer a substitution: A quote from Rubayyat of Omar Khayaam.

Tis all a chequer-board of nights and days
Where destiny with men for pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves, and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the closet lays.
---Poem 49, Omar Khayaam (first edition)(translated by Edward Fitzegerald)

It has a Zoroastrian vibe to it, I love it.

>> No.2694472

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Can't you at least appreciate Jesus as a philosopher?

>implying you need to believe in god(s) to appreciate good literature

My personal favorite:

"For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."

Revelation 22:15

"No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord."

What about these passages appeals to you guys? Truly interesting passages are the ones you have to ponder.

If you are like a lot of ignorants and using these to jab at Christianity and Christians. Then understand that those rules applied under Abraham/Gods covenant. Not under the New Covenant with Jesus.

Matthew 26 6:11
About how some girl pours perfume on Jesus' face, and his disciples got pissed about her wasting shit, and then how Jesus said something like
>she's doing something good, don't hate her for doing something good

I like how it fits in the idea that one should not perform the best possible action, as long as it's a good action. Quite the opposite to utilitarianism.
