Provide me with a verse that says you shouldn't threaten people with violence.

>>33252550
this can relate to using threatening language
> Ephesians 4:25-32

and this is about violence
> Matthew 26:52

lmk if thats what you mean, theres probably some more in that genre

>>33252516 (OP)
The great biblical scholar, Ted Cruz, said that the bible says that "those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed."

Where does it say that?

>>33252653
it is important to note that Israel in the Bible was a kingdom made by God and the modern nation state that named itself "Israel", a secular democratic nation, was made by man

worshipping things made by man is strictly against the rules

Isaiah 44:9-20

Got one.
If when we die, and our soul goes to heaven or hell, does our conscience remain with our soul? Do we have a conscience in heaven?

>>33252653
nta, but it's agreed historically that Israel is symbolical (kingdom of God), not literal, because the State of Israel never existed and it's a recent creation post wwII (lol)

>>33252516 (OP)
Give me a verse which makes it clear that God never intended people to be monogamous.

Then one which makes it clear that slavery is acceptable.

Then one that justifies murder.

Then one that justifies incest.

Then one that makes it clear that God is frightened of Humanity's potential.

>>33252516 (OP)
Give me two verses, in two different books, that are clearly describing spaceships.

>>33253642
Monogamy
> Genesis 2:24
also every instance of multiple wives in the Bible is accompanied by major problems for example Moses, Abraham, David, and Solomon all suffered due to multiple wives.

Slavery
> 1 Corinthians 7:23
The OT has rules for keeping slaves, but the OT also has rules for building a boat and saving a pair of every animal. That is to say the OT is mostly timely, with many timeless morals and lessons, but very timely ceremonial/judicial customs

>>33253476
Unclear but probably? Interesting question, you should research it too, because we may not have the same interpretation. But ultimatley only God will know the answer
> Hebrews 12:22

>>33253645
Unfamiliar, lmk if you find them

>>33253642
Murder
> thou shalt not kill

Incest
> Leviticus 18:6

God frightened? Laughable concept
> Proverbs 1:7
> Job 38:4-7

A verse just for you
> Isaiah 41:10

>>33252516 (OP)
Why some people are never lucky in their lifes? Were they born just suffer?

What are the two most important commandments Jesus said?

>>33254097
> Hebrews 12:5-11
> Malachi 3:3

also, youre going to really enjoy this one, its a quick listen if you have the time

>>33254161
I had to look up the chapter and verse tbqh
> Matthew 22:36-40

>>33254097
>>33254175
also, I should mention the Book of Job, it discusses at length "why bad things happen to good people" and in the end God comes to Job and tells him that man can never know or understand why things happen/God's plan so don't even bother guessing lol.

If I have interpreted that wrong somebody lmk

>>33254228
>don't even bother guessing
do you hold the same opinion regarding book of Job?

>>33254325
sorry I dont understand your question, I was stating my opinion/interpretation of Job

>>33254353
Oh sorry, I thought that you wrote a general opinion of Job. It makes me think of why God even appeared at the end of book if He basically said "know your place human"

>>33254388
I think that is the whole point imho. Also Job is sort of a chore to read all of the arguments/back and forth but it is worth it because the part at the end is God's longest monologue in the whole Bible iirc

>>33253990
>also every instance of multiple wives in the Bible is accompanied by major problems for example Moses, Abraham, David, and Solomon all suffered due to multiple wives.
In which case, none of those are acceptable answers to my question. I asked for examples that make it clear God DIDN'T intend us to be monogamous. Genesis 29-30 is a possibility.

>Slavery
> 1 Corinthians 7:23
Again, I was asking for justification for slavery, so this is disqualified.

>>33254062
>Murder
>thou shalt not kill
I was asking for something that justifies murder, so no. There are countless examples of this; the first one that happened to come into my mind was Genesis 34.

>Incest
>Leviticus 18:6
And again, we were looking for justification for incest, so you're 0 for 4 so far. Genesis 19, verses 30-38 would have been a possibility.

>God frightened? Laughable concept
Two extremely clear examples of that, off the top of my head, are Genesis 3 verse 22, and Genesis 11 verse 6, but I'm sure there are others.

>>33254015

Well, if you think about what a rocket taking off or hovering looks like, during the day you see mostly a huge column of smoke or steam; but at night you see flames. So it's pretty obvious that's what a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night represents. (Exodus 13 verses 21-22). But there's a far more interesting description of aliens and an alien vehicle in Ezekiel chapter 1: read it, it's remarkably detailed.

I feel like nobody besides my family actually values me.
That gets even worse when the subject is relationships and women (hetero man here). I don't know why, but I don't ever get to be important, valued, even respected by them. I'm a good man, not a nice guy, so it seems there's something in me that is the problem.
How can I overcome this feeling, or this situation? It's been clawing at me for so long, I'm starting to get afraid.

>>33254502
no need to try so hard to be a show-off for people online, worry about impressing God

>>33254516
> John 15:18-19
> Matthew 6:19-21
Not even God himself found "acceptance" so dont worry about it, you are important, valued, and respected by God.

> Romans 8:28-30

>>33254568
Thanks.
And I love God. I'm just so tired of this battle.

>>33254595
> Matthew 11:28
> Isaiah 40:31

thanks for posting, I had to google "Bible verses for being tired" and AI gave me the two verses above, which were nice for me to read

>>33254502
Why would you expect any of that to be in there?
