These might be controversial since the health message is a big part of SDA beliefs, but:
“Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”” 1 Corinthians 10:25-26 NIV “Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.” Proverbs 31:6-7 NIV “One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.” Romans 14:2 NIV (More of a funny one, don't think its literal) And lastly, not related to food, but I think its worth sharing because verse 9 is unexpectedly violent. “Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” Psalms 137:8-9 NIV |

Yeah. You heard that most newer versions (including NIV) have even removed some verses? When I was in 3rd grade I had an ICB (International Children's Bible) version, and it didn't have part of the Lord's Prayer.

Also, there's a passage in the Bible (I don't remember where) that Sunday keepers use to "prove" that we don't have to keep the Sabbath. The thing is, the passage makes no mention of the Sabbath or any day of the week. In fact, the passage is about food! Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ][ Click to hide ] Yeah. Food. What I'm saying is, ppl rly need to check what it's really talking about instead of using it for a totally different subject. |

One verse that I find kind of funny is Hosea 4:11b-12a:
"Wine has robbed my people of their understanding. They ask a piece of wood for advice! They think a stick can tell them the future!" [NLT] It's not as funny in the other versions, though. Another verse that I found to be humorous is Jonah 4:7a: "But God also arranged for a worm!" [NLT] \\ "But as the morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm..." [NKJV] \\ "But then God sent a worm." [MSG] The NLT version caught my eye first, and the NKJV and MSG versions of it are also entertaining. Next up is 2 Kings 10:27: "They smashed the sacred pillar and wrecked the temple of Baal, converting it into a public toilet." [NLT] \\ "They smashed the Baal altars and tore down the Baal temple. It’s been a public toilet ever since." [MSG] I guess that tells you what they thought of Baal. The next one is Proverbs 18:18: "Flipping a coin can end arguments; it settles disputes between powerful opponents." [NLT] One of my classmates is known for flipping a coin to make decisions, so that verse reminded me of him. I was quite surprised to find it in the Bible! Now that I'm picking up his method of decision making, I'm glad to know that there's a Biblical backing behind it. Lastly, the verses that I originally thought of when making this reply are Job 6:6-7: "Don’t people complain about unsalted food? Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg? My appetite disappears when I look at it; I gag at the thought of eating it!" [NLT] I think in other versions, it says "mallow plant" instead of "egg." Anyway, that was my list of unexpected (mainly humorous) verses in the Bible; I do have more but I decided to stop here for now  |

Psalms 37:13: The One enthroned in heaven laughs;Here's one - Proverbs 25: 16 Search it up...and then share other verses! -- sci_geeek the Lord scoffs at them. Psalms 2:4: but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. Psalms 59:8: But you laugh at them, Lord; you scoff at all those nations. Proverbs 1:26: I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you— You may wonder if God is a God who delights in destruction by these verses. These verses will cause you confusion. "Just as the Lord has found great pleasure in causing you to prosper and multiply, the Lord will find pleasure in destroying you. You will be torn from the land you are about to enter and occupy." [NLT] |

Also, you can't just go and select a handful of verses to support some belief, you also need to look at the surrounding verses to get an idea of the actual context.endershadow112 wrote:
These might be controversial since the health message is a big part of SDA beliefs, but: *facepalm*“Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”” 1 Corinthians 10:25-26 NIV “Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.” Proverbs 31:6-7 NIV “One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.” Romans 14:2 NIV (More of a funny one, don't think its literal) And lastly, not related to food, but I think its worth sharing because verse 9 is unexpectedly violent. “Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” Psalms 137:8-9 NIV Bruh. The NIV is a really messed up Bible version. I mean the KJV says pretty much the same thing, just less clearly to us since it's not in modern English. You can check the different versions yourself. |

One verse that I find kind of funny is Hosea 4:11b-12a: Note that these verses are very modern. "Wine has robbed my people of their understanding. They ask a piece of wood for advice! They think a stick can tell them the future!" [NLT] It's not as funny in the other versions, though. Another verse that I found to be humorous is Jonah 4:7a: "But God also arranged for a worm!" [NLT] \\ "But as the morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm..." [NKJV] \\ "But then God sent a worm." [MSG] The NLT version caught my eye first, and the NKJV and MSG versions of it are also entertaining. Next up is 2 Kings 10:27: "They smashed the sacred pillar and wrecked the temple of Baal, converting it into a public toilet." [NLT] \\ "They smashed the Baal altars and tore down the Baal temple. It’s been a public toilet ever since." [MSG] I guess that tells you what they thought of Baal. The next one is Proverbs 18:18: "Flipping a coin can end arguments; it settles disputes between powerful opponents." [NLT] One of my classmates is known for flipping a coin to make decisions, so that verse reminded me of him. I was quite surprised to find it in the Bible! Now that I'm picking up his method of decision making, I'm glad to know that there's a Biblical backing behind it. Lastly, the verses that I originally thought of when making this reply are Job 6:6-7: "Don’t people complain about unsalted food? Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg? My appetite disappears when I look at it; I gag at the thought of eating it!" [NLT] I think in other versions, it says "mallow plant" instead of "egg." Anyway, that was my list of unexpected (mainly humorous) verses in the Bible; I do have more but I decided to stop here for now |
