ATTN: ALL MEMBERS - 10 Most Profound Scriptures
mharrell08:
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,
Marques

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

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?

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.
