Numbers 31 14 - 18

14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle.

15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

If you're going to go to the trouble of making an image of a verse, you might as well use the KJV; it sounds much better.
>Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Also, Matthew 6:
>25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
>26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
>27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
>28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
>29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
>30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
>31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Try reading Genesis, then Exodus, then Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles and finish with Malachai. This pretty much gives you the entire history of the Jews and Malachai talks about the Great King who is coming, which of course leads into the New Testament and Jesus' birth.

Kings 2 23-24

23 He went up from there to Bethel; and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead!” 24 When he turned around and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

i'm not a christian at all, you rely on assumptions because without them your delusion bubble would pop, and you would realize that everybody on this board hates you. I'll tell you what the christians won't: slit your wrists in a hot bath. You won't go to heaven or hell, your weak consciousness will probably dissipate almost instantly and you can re-incarnate as a slug, something more worthy of your character.

>For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world but forfeit his soul?

This verse has deeply affected the course of my life. I dropped out of school and became an artist because I take the meaning of soul very literally. When people talk about soullessness I believe there is some substance that is absent from the work due to the flawed vision of the painter. The hermeticists say that the same forms appear in an analogical way through the various levels of reality, so what you see in art, and what you hear in music, are the dichotomies playing out aesthetically. The Chinese of antiquity seem to have understood this too. The first principal of Chinese painting is
>"Spirit Resonance" (qiyun 气韵) or vitality (shengdong 生动), and seems to translate to the nervous energy transmitted from the artist into the work. The overall energy of a work of art. Xie He said that without Spirit Resonance, there was no need to look further.

24. And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, "Surely a bloody husband art thou to me."
26. So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.

I've always enjoyed this passage in 1 Samuel 19 where God kills 50,000 people because they saw inside the Ark of the Covenant.

19 Now He (God) fatally struck some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. He struck 50,070 men among the people, and the people mourned because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.

Several modern translations try to make this "only" 70 people, so that's ok then.

Tolkien is advocating anarchism there. Probably remembering William Morris. I could just as easily write stories about kings, but that’s the institutionalization of unfit rule and the worst of hierarchy.
