Philippians 2:9-11
9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Securely anchored to the Rock amid every storm of trial, testing or tribulation.Comment

Overall, Ecclesiastes is my favorite book of the Old Testament.
Not a fan of the whole 'favorite verse' idea - they tend to get divorced from context.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologistComment

On the other hand, attention to context may become a tendency to read a specific theology into the text; a theology first reading that is equally troublesome. It seems reasonable to consider whether Christian theology prevents a person from properly understanding the Bible?Originally posted by One Bad Pig View Post“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

While I agree that reading one's theology into a text is equally bad, it almost inevitably goes hand in hand with ignoring context, not paying attention to it.Originally posted by firstfloor View Post
