1 Corinthians 13:11

[dimbee]

"When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways."

To me, this is THE most profound verse in the Bible.

It's one of the most disheartening to me; why can't I think as a child every now and then?

I am still young at heart. I understand what you're saying, though. I remember when my mom was the prettiest lady in the world... actually, she still is.

Love your enemies. T-O-U-G-H to do.

Love your enemies. T-O-U-G-H to do.

Now that might be the most worthwhile message to take away from the Bible. Consequently, it is one of the hardest to do.

Thinking like a child is the foundation for everything I've ever learned.

I love it... But it's hard to live by.

I still love my beer

I still love my cartoons

I still love jack-n-off and hoping nobody's going to walk in on me

I still call my mom mommy when I need something

I still argue with people over which of the mighty morphin power rangers was best

and i still wake up on saturday mornings and sit in my boxers with a bowl of cereal watching saturday morning cartoons...

Some childish things are hard to let go off.

But hell I'm only 24...

[dimbee]

I'd watch Saturday morning cartoons if there was a damn cartoon worth watching.

But I'm already getting crotchety.

I'm not a fan of quoting scripture. The Devil could quote scripture to support his cause. IMO the Bible and its contents have no "standard" meaning. Your relationship with God is meant to be a personal one and whatever message, philosophy, or enlightenment you receive through your studies of the Bible or other religious/spiritual books is your own interpretation and the only one that is relevant to you and your relationship with God. Trying to come up with a "standard" interpretation of the Bible seems misguided to me, especially when this standard is typically used as a tool of manipulation.

Keep in mind the devil MISquoted the Bible.
