Hey about the whole meaning of the book of revelations, I don't mean to presume to know the 'right' answer or something, but wouldn't/couldn't it be both??? Isn't it both??? You can't have something new, unless there 'was' something old, right? Taken from the version of Revelation that I am reading . . .
Revelation 21;1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth disappeared . . .
Revelation 21:5 . . . "And now I make all things new!"
Could be . . .
Deuteronomy 23:15 If a slave runs away from his owner and comes to you for protection, do not send him back. He may live in any of your towns that he chooses, and you are not to treat him harshly.
Deuteronomy 23:7 . . . Do not despise the Egyptians; you once lived in their land

Yes...Yes...I know. If only I can go back in time to see what really happened with the production of the Bible. Anyway, I did mention that the K.J. version was as close as I can get to the original. For me to go a little deeper, I plan to learn those languages that you've mentioned.Originally Posted by The Jackle
It's amazing, ain't it? How one book can have so many wonderful teachings of living life. Hmm...I'm pretty sure Jesus just came up with those things off the top of his head. Lord knows I do...
You must be talking about Niamh and patriotfan90 comments on the Book of Revelation, right? Well, I'm not sure...The coming of the Savior or the end of the world...Possibly both...? Anyway, I guess it depends on the person translating the reading of it.
"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people and then they take themselves out of the slums. Christ changes men, who then changes their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." ~ Ezra Taft Benson
"And the truth shall set you free."
It's a paraphrase, and I can't find the passage, I'm afraid.
What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it.
- Gertrude Stein
A washerwoman with her basket; a rook; a red-hot poker; th purples and grey-greens of flowers: some common feeling which held the whole together.
- Virginia Woolf
To Cuppajoe 9---Using the King James version of the Bible--your paraphrase is I believe from John 8:32: "'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." This should be read in conjunction with verse 31 if I may suggest.
vs 31: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
vs 32: And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
Hope this helps.

I've just been looking through what i know and it can be read either way.
Also for anyone whos interested, on the Tymphanum of the west facade of Autun Cathedral in france, Gisselbertus carved his impressions of 'The last Judgement' also known as the weighing of the souls. Its a fine example of romanesque religious sculpture.

Many of my favorites have already been posted:
Psalms 23
1 Corinthians 13
Hebrews 11
Ecclesiastics 12
I love the short book of Jude, it has a powerful message, some knowledge of the original wording may be required in places, but the KJV is close.
Job is a favorite book for people like myself who suffer daily with things others sometimes cannot understand.
The Parables of Jesus. A simple story told to illustrate a great fact will stick with the people a long time. Jesus knew this, and often asked them to solve the story. That way they learned the lesson and could not deny it, they had said so themselves!
Revelation.
God bless.
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. "
---St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13, verses 11-13. (King James Version)
"Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"
---William Blake
"I reached out a hand from under the blankets and rang the bell for Jeeves.
'Good evening, Jeeves.'
'Good morning, sir.' "

Yo...mtpspur got it right, cuppajoe!
K.J. ver. St John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Rich...But I'm really poor...? Hmm...Well...How 'bout this...I sleep in a closet...

Oh...France! Fear not, I'm heading in that direction...Planning to, at least...Not to mention Italy...
Well, I'm not surprised of all the quotes that you said were your favorites as well...But maybe you might have a different interpretation of it then the others...? Like, my interpretation of what Psalm 23 means to me...Might be different from yours...?
The St. Paul quote from the Bible...I like that.
William Blake...Well, I like how he does his poetry and the artwork for it...Since only the poet really knows the true meaning of his own work...Incorporating his own artwork to it is...How you say...Awesome...? Yes, awesome...Indeed...
I've never read the last one...

To Neo Sephiroth---The Rich (but I'm really poor) thing started awhile back at AAA when a different AAA Club would call Dispatch to discuss a towing call and they would like a first name of the dispatcher they talked to in order to assign praise/blame or whatever in case the calls goes badly.
Out of my usual boredom for this sort of buck passing (though knowing who I talked to has saved the day occassionally) I gave them the short version of my formal name Richard and added 'But I'mreally poor, you know poor wages, poor morale, poor attitude. This generally gets a laugh and has been somewhat of an icebreaker especially when 2 AAA clubs are not on the same page about a call.

fav verse - Proverbs 31:30
essentially...
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised"
"Do not be misled. Bad associations spoil useful habits.Wake up to soberness in a righteous way and do not practice sin, for some are without knowledge of God. I am speaking to move YOU to shame." 1 Corinthians 15:33 & 34
"Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
