I placed the 'ATTN: ALL MEMBERS' because I wanted everyone to participate even if they don't post often or even at all. I believe this is the kind of thread that will interest all members. 

I got the idea for this thread from Ray's statement below:

Excerpt from Lake of Fire Part 15-D (http://bible-truths.com/lake15-D.html):

EVERYTHING HAS A PRECISE APPOINTED TIME[\color]

God Almighty is responsible for everything and He brings about everything only at its precise "APPOINTED SEASON AND TIME." Let's read it:

    "To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Ecc. 3:1).

The implications of this verse are staggering. The very foundation of human psychology and theology crumbles under the weight of this declaration of God’s Word. This is undoubtedly one of the ten most profound Scriptures in the entire Bible.

I thought this could be a good exercise as well as a good study reference for the members. This is not meant to 'rank' certain scriptures over others but simply post what each member believes are the most profound scriptures for them.

Try to limit your replies to 10 passages [I know that's hard, I'm starting this and ended up settling on 11 ]. Also, feel free to post any comments you have about the scriptures you chose. After we get a good number of replies, I'll post a tally board with the scriptures that were used the most.

Even if you're not good at 'quoting scriptures', if another member has already post a passage that you had in mind, simply copy and paste from them. Duplicates are welcome, that will help with the final tally.


1 John 4:8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love

1 Tim 2:3-4  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Tim 4:9-10  This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Ecc 1:13  I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: it is an experience of evil Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.

Gen 50:19-20  Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

1 John 2:2  He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Ecc 3:11  He has made everything fitting in its season; However, He has put obscurity in their heart so that the man may not find out His work, that which God does.

Isa 45:7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Isa 46:10-11  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.


Thanks in advance to all the members who participate,

1Co 2:9  But as it is written:
       "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
       Nor have entered into the heart of man
       The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

John 3:16 For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian."

Mat 13:13  Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Eph 1:11  In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Luke 12:32  "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Php 2:13  for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Rom 8:39  nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Eph 1:4  just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

1 Tim 4:9-10  This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

[Roy Coates]

Tough assignment. Here is a cross section that I often refer to while sharing the gospel.

Col 1:19-20  for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,  and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens."

Joh 12:32 And I, if I should be exalted out of the earth, shall be drawing all to Myself."

Joh 6:44 No one can come to Me if ever the Father Who sends Me should not be drawing him. And I shall be raising him in the last day.

Mat 6:33 Yet seek first the kingdom and its righteousness, and these all shall be added to you.

Gen 1:1 Created by the Elohim were the heavens and the earth.

Ecc 9:10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your vigor, For there is no doing or devising or knowledge or wisdom In the unseen where you are going."

Mat 5:44 Yet I am saying to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who are persecuting you,

Joh 3:17 For God does not dispatch His Son into the world that He should be judging the world, but that the world may be saved through Him."

Isa 40:22 Who is sitting over the circle of the earth, and its dwellers are as grasshoppers? Who is stretching out as a thin gauze the heavens, and bagging them out as a tent to dwell in?

[Fester]

 
Isa 45:5     I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
  
 

The Byrds: Turn Turn Turn - October 1965  -  Ecc. 3:1-8

My Brother Marques:
This is truly a beautiful exercise which seems as if God is whispering His Words as a reminder to our spirits. I love it and am expectant that we'll all be blessed powerfully.
Here are my 10:

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall, and I wil do all My pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes My counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Isaiah 46: 9-11.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven Matthew 6: 10

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.John 6: 63

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8: 7

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8: 28

For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances-- Philippians 2: 3

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that  not of yourselves it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them" Ephesians 2:8-10.

For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure" Philippians 2:13.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.  Romans 11: 33-36 NIV

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Peter 3: 15.

[Deborah-Leigh]

Gen 3:22  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:

Dan 4:37  Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Mat 6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Joh 17:3  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Rev 22:15  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Col 3:15  and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.

Col 3:17  And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Joh 17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Rev 22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Dan 4:32  ………….know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will.

[Ninny]

Here are some of my favorites...these may have duplicated some others....but ...


"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."
—1 John 4:9-18 

[Shammie]

1 Cor 4:7..... For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?

1 Cor 11:19 ..... No doubt there to be differences amoung you to show which of you have God's approval.

1 Cor 13:12 ..... Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am full known.

1 Cor 15:2 ..... By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

1 Cor 15:36 ..... How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

Dan 3:28 ..... "...They trusted in Him and defied the king's command and were will to to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God".

Psalm 23:5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence 0f mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Gen 1:27 And creating is the Elohim humanity in His image. In the image of the Elohim He creates it. Male and female He creates them.

1John 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Joshua 5:14  (answering Joshua's question asking whether He were one of 'us' or 'our foes'...) "Neither," the Man answered. "I am here as the commander of the LORD's army." Joshua threw himself on the ground in worship and said, "I am your servant, sir. What do you want me to do?"

John 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Pro 4:26,27  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Then she kissed his feet and put oil on them... 48 Jesus said to the woman, `The wrong things you have done are forgiven.'... 50 Jesus said to the woman, `You are saved because you believed. Go in peace.'

1 Cor. 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Romans 5:18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

Titus 3:4 But—“When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.”

Romans 9:15-16

15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8.  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9.  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight" (Luke 10:21).

GAL 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

MK 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

ISA 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

Good Morning Marques,

                                Definitely, a good idea for a Thread. It's certainly difficult to narrow it down to those Scriptures that had the most impact on me. Below, I will list the Scriptures of choice with a comment too.

1) Acts. 24:15 " I have hope in God, which they themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the unjust and the just."

Comment: Resurrection is translated from the Greek Word Anastasis which literally means " to stand again " or " a raising up." It's wonderfull to know that everyone will eventually receive a Resurrection and they will learn righteousness.

2) 2 Peter. 3:9 " The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward all, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

Comment: God is Not(Greek- "Ou" meaning none, no, never, not) Willing THAT ANY Perish. Whatever God Wills always comes to pass and since He wills that none perish, there cannot be any person in that category, a group that has no one in it.

3) 1 John. 4:8 " God is Love."

Comment: Theologians like to say that God is Love only in context and it's only one of His qualities, but this Scripture says: God IS Love. The word IS denotes " A State of Being." And since Love never fails(1Cor. 13:, there can't be one instance where God's Love fails. And it certainly isn't Love to punish Humans endlessly for their finite sins, this would fall short of God's Love.

4) 1 Timothy. 2:3,4 " For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth."

Comment: Although the Greek Word "Pas" translated "All" can mean " As many as," "some,""most" or everyone, in almost everywhere else it's used, Theologians will say it means everyone, except in the Scriptures that pertain to Salvation Of All. How Convenient ! As Ray ponted out in his Article: " Does All mean All," Show me a Scripture where God says He will not save all. If they(Theologians) had such a Scripture, they would be using it right away, so they have to take a Scripture that says " All will be saved," and twist it to not mean "All will be saved."

5) 1 John. 4:14 " And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the World."

Comment: Jesus commission is to Save the World and He does a perfect job at it by saving everyone. He will not fall short in this commission.

6) 1 John. 2:2 " And He is a proptiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not ours only but also for the whole worlds."

Comment: Propitiation from the Greek Word " Hilasmos" meaning " an expiation, a means whereby sin is covered and remitted." He(Christ) is the Sin Offering for the sake of the Whole World.

7) Phillipians. 2:10,11 " so in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in Heaven and those on Earth and those under the ground, and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."

Comment: Obviously, this hasn't happened yet, for everyone. When God is all in all, every(all) knees will bend(spiritually speaking) to the glory of God the Father confessing that Jesus is Lord. There isn't any glory for God if people are endlessly dead or tormented Eternally somewhere, this brings glory to no one, especially God and it isn't Love.

Proverbs. 16:18 " Pride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit is before a stumbling."

Comment: Hebrew Word Govah(haughty) literally means "Height." How often has Pride, Arrogance and Haughtiness led to so much pain and heartache in our lives. Someone might say something mean or nasty and we are quick to retaliate with vengefull words or in like manner. Often, we just make matters worse for ourselves. However, these negative traits: Pride, arrogance, Haughtiness are training tools by which we are Humbled, so we eventually learn Humility.

Well, those are only eight Scriptures, but some include two verses. Of course, there are many others of great importance and impact, but I'll end this Post, for now.

                                Kind Regards, Samson.
