Administrators Gail Posted May 21, 2009 Author Administrators Posted May 21, 2009 True enough! Where is the Golden Rule found in the Bible? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted May 21, 2009 Members Posted May 21, 2009 Where is the Golden Rule found in the Bible?

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Administrators Gail Posted May 21, 2009 Author Administrators Posted May 21, 2009 Perfect, Pam! That was quick! Who killed the Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Dottie Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,..." This sound like something that is repeated in the Methodist church when I go to visit family. "I believe in God the Father Almighty,...,etc." I can only repeat it if I'm in the church, taking curs from those around me. Is it the Apostles' Creed? Quote

Administrators Gail Posted May 22, 2009 Author Administrators Posted May 22, 2009 Pam I think she is referring to the question just before the one about the Golden Rule, the 1 Cor. 4-something. And it could be the Apostles' Creed- I'm not sure, Dottie. But heading forward, Samson is the correct answer to who killed the Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. Here's a good one: What test did the angel of the Lord tell Gideon to use to see who was fit to join his army? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted May 22, 2009 Members Posted May 22, 2009 What test did the angel of the Lord tell Gideon to use to see who was fit to join his army?
