ABC's from the ESV Bible

I've seen these lists for the KJV, but since we all have ESV's, I wanted to make one in that version. The verses are also intended to be discussion starters, of course.  Hopefully, however, no verse requires a long discussion as to its context for the verse. 

If you come across a verse in the ESV that you believe would be better for a list like this than the one present, please let me know.

A- “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23)
B- “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31)
C- “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” (Eph 6:1)
D- “Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.” (Psa 119:115)
E- “Even a child makes himself known by his acts” (Pro 20:11)
F- “fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Pro 1:7)
G- “God is love” (1 John 4:8)
H- “Honor your father and your mother” (Exo 20:11)
I- “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen 1:1)
J- Jesus “delivers us from the wrath to come.” (1 The 1:10)
K- “Keep your tongue from evil” (Psa 34:13)
L- “look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us.” (Psa 123:2)
M- “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Ps 42:2)
N- “None is righteous, no, not one” (Rom 3:10)
O- “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good” (Psa 118:1)
P- “Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God” (Psa 147:1)
Q- “quit before the quarrel breaks out” (Pro 17:14)
R- “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecc 12:1)

RE: "Pastor Dayna Muldoon EXPOSED"

It enough to make your heart ache.  "Pastor" Dayna Muldoon  has been pitching her tent in Florida, and like Todd Bentley before , false claims to miracles, healing, and prophecies litter her campsites. This video of a Calvary Chapel pastor exposing her as a false prophet has been appearing in various places, and its been uploaded to YouTube multiple times.  Even Todd Friel got animated about this , and nothing gets him hyper. Here's the deal: Muldoon set up her tent-meetings right down the road from Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg , peeking the interests of many attending the church.  When they listened to the message she presented, however, they found it not to be the Gospel, but instead the typical narcissistic message of health and blessings from God. This is coming from a Calvary Chapel crew, folks that are typically non-cessationists themselves.  Many churches, including this particular Calvary Chapel , host after-glow services where one expects similar claims

Was Rebekah a child when she married Isaac?

Did Isaac marry a three-year-old?  If you've never pondered this question, it's because nothing in the straightforward reading of the text would suggest that Rebekah was a toddler or that their marriage was arranged. Even so, a couple of verses out of context could be used by skeptics to prove anything.  While perusing the web for a related topic, however, I found a thread stating that the Bible isn't against the raping of children .  The cited evidence was this issue, the claim being that Isaac engaged in pedophilia. The question comes from the fact that Genesis 22:23 announces the birth of Rebekah after the binding of Isaac.  Tradition states that Isaac was then thirty-seven, and Scripture says that the two wed when Isaac was forty (Gn 25:20).  Hence, Isaac robbed the cradle. The whole theory is fraught with assumptions, the primary being that Scripture never records a age marker for Rebekah.  Further complicating the matter, however, is Jewish tradition, which spe

From YouTube: Calvinism (Also know by Doctrines of Grace or Reformed theology) John MacArthur use Romans 8:28-30 as main text. The five points of calvinism are Total depravity (total inability), Unconditional election, Limited atonement (Also called particular redemption or definite atonement), Irresistible grace (also called efficacious grace), and Perseverance of the saints. Full sermon http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/90-427 Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. And these whom He predestined, He also called. And these whom He called, He also justified. And these whom He justified, He also glorified."
