...the last verses of the day were Luke 12:58-59. These verses should be plastered on billboards all over Oxford right now. Very timely.

i think they are maybe like the egyptians....when God hardened the heart of pharaoh to their destruction. the pride and arrogance is what has undone them. go back and watch djork on finebaum (YouTube), he proclaims several times that he is their chosen leader for times such as these and that he will get them through this. whew....what hubris! the Bears are gonna get their heads rolled and have nobody to blame but themselves....

Look... I hate to tell you this but Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball.

We aren't righteous and they aren't immoral. God doesn't care if we win or where our recruiting class is ranked. And he certainly didn't send Moses down from Mt. Sinai with the NCAA rule book. You people who use Christianity to validate your sports allegiances sicken me almost as much as the holocaust and paisley neck ties. It was despicable when Hugh Freeze cherry picked bible verses to further his propaganda and so it is now when you're doing it.

It's not a real verse. Tarantino dreamed it up as a cobbled together bunch of themes and reworked them into the monologue that he believed best expressed the drama intended for that scene.

He pulls themes from Ezekiel 34, Psalm 23, and Genesis 4.

And while I am on bible gateway:
[h=1]Luke 12:58-59New International Version (NIV)[/h][FONT=&quot]58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”[/FONT]

You left out nearly two thirds of the verse he quotes.
Do you see any reference in Ezekiel 25:17 to poisoning my brothers or shepherding the weak or the path of the righteous or the tyranny of evil men? No. Because those themes were globed together and loosely tied into 25:17. It's a close but no cigar moment.

But that isn't really the point though. The whole scene comes about in the ultimate redemption of Jacksons character in the end. That's where the themes have to be twisted and combined to make that whole scene work.

Wow. Ok. It was meant as a tongue in cheek comment. If you had just read it instead of puckering your butt up to the point of diamond creation, you might have gathered that much. For the record, I'll never be the one to claim God is with us and hates them. Matter of fact, it made me cringe when Freeze would throw out verses to promote himself. Next time I guess you should just scroll on by. Might make your day better.

Pro tip for you... if you "cringe" when someone does something, maybe don't also do it yourself, even as a joke.

Hey you got a bunch of thumbs up for using the lord's name in vain. That's an accomplishment .

This is the **** that happens when Freezus H. Christ has been cast down with the sodomites. We are now in a vacuum of religious self-righteousness and there is a battle to see which fanbase can unjustly claim the moral high ground before the flood cometh**

No doubt. I wasn't implying you were incorrect, I was just providing the actual verse for those who only "heard it" from Pulp Fiction. Good work. Carry on.

I think he was pointing out the folly of their use of the Bible for glory-seeking when it fits their narrative.

There were several threads on here after the Freeze phone records came out where people were quoting Bible verses back at them... This is no different.
