Verbum Domini Manet in aeternum.
1 Peter 1:24-25
flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
The Gospels are great because it is basically Jesus wandering around while motherfrickers go to him and try to trick him or say shit about some sinners and Jesus tells them: YOU STUPID ASS MOTHERFRICKER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FRICK I AM!? I AM THE FRICKING LORD YOUR GOD!? YIOU TRYING TO TRICK ME!? YOU TRYING TO TELL YOUR MAKER AND JUDGE YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS prostitute OR THIS RANDOM FOREIGNER OR THIS TAX COLLECTOR AND SHIT!? IN TRUTH I TELL YOU, SHUT THE FRICK UP AND GO FRICK YOURSELF, YOU STUPID ASS FRICK, WASTING MY TIME AND YOUR TIME ON THIS SHUT! FRICK OFF WITH YOU!"
And the whole of the Bible is basically God looking down and saying: these guys sure are stupid
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?How long will you hide your face from me
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
Psalms 13 is surely one of my favorite
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions. 21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians[a] fondled your bosom and caressed[b] your young breasts.
Pslam 23.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."
Makes me feel comfy and loved and safe.
1 Korinthians 13:11-13
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
>21 Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” >22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

“The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Daniel 2:41-43
"41 And just as you saw the feet and the toes to be partly of clay of a potter and partly of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but some of the hardness of iron will be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with soft clay. 42And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile. 43Just as you saw iron mixed with soft clay, they will be mixed with the people; but they will not stick together, one to the other, just as iron does not mix with clay."
it does not only invalidate democracy as a concept, but it shows how its dominance would be a sign of the end times. Daniel is my favorite book.

>18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.[a] 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you

God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:
“How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
“I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.
But as for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved, murderers, the unchaste, sorcerers, idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort, their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
Jesus wept.

I like the one about removing the beam from your eye before worrying about the specks in other peoples eyes . Jesus is at his best when doing ethics

The bit where Jesus says he came to save the israelites and gentiles are dogs and you shouldn't preach to them.

Psalm 82
God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:
“How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
“I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.
Right now is:
But as for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved, murderers, the unchaste, sorcerers, idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort, their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
