My good friend Jerome is one wacky dude. The other day, he passed along to me this fab link from a wonderfully interesting blog called “Church Hopping”, containing lots of fun and interesting articles by its proprietor, Josh Rives. This particular link features ten Biblical verses I’m CERTAIN you’ll never hear preached on from any pulpit – not even an Episcopal Church one. (At least I think not, but, given the state of affairs in my Church these days, ya never know…)

Anyways, feel free to check them all (and the site) out, I think you’ll enjoy it. Here, for the record, are my three favorites:

1. “No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 23:1)

2. “Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals – as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.” (Ezekiel 23:19-20)

3. “Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.” (2 Kings 2:23-24)

Thanks, Jerome, for the chuckle. And Josh, great site!
