Deep within
I will plant my law
Not on stone
But in your heart
Follow me
I will bring you back
You will be my own,
and I will be your God
The beauty of these verses brought tears to my eyes in church today.

There are some pretty poetic Bible verses, man! Here's what we're explicating at my next bible study, albeit it's not as hopeful as yours:
Both of these will overtake you
in a moment, on a single day:
loss of children and widowhood.
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries
and all your potent spells.
You have trusted in your wickedness
and have said, 'No one sees me.'
Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you
when you say to yourself,
'I am, and there is none besides me.'
Disaster will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly come upon you.
Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!
Let your astrologers come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save you from what is coming upon you.
Surely they are like stubble;
the fire will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.
Here are no coals to warm anyone;
here is no fire to sit by.
That is all they can do for you—
these you have labored with
and trafficked with since childhood.
Each of them goes on in his error;
there is not one that can save you.
^ Isaiah 47:9-15 :-)
Box box is so smart :o
i had no idea that some of you tangsters were christian.
i thought you were all agnostic.

^We agnostics attend church, too. We're just very confused and doubtful about it.
And some of us are even Jews who eventually get around to reading their Tanakh. I knew it sounded familiar. Thanks for putting in the book/verse ref., Long Nian.
There are no original nor necessarily reliable versions of the Christian bible, and there certainly aren't any originals of the Jewish bible. There's still plenty of controversy over what the true text of the Gospels is, so, as poetic as they may be, who knows if it really has any correct bearings on the faith.
oh no, not another religous debate... please god, no.
:D
The gospels aren't actually poetic.
...and, when I said "verses," they were actually words from a verse in a hymn, not actually verses in the Bible...
I mean, c'mon. I'm Catholic. You actually think I know what a Bible verse is? ;D
