1 Nephi 20-21: I will feed them with their own flesh; they shall be drunken with their own blood
Joseph Smith Nephi must have been getting tired of writing. Why else would he copy two chapters nearly verbatim from the King James Version of the Bible?
I suspect that the answer is much like Bill Clinton's answer to the question, "Why did you ha ...

And for the disbelievers, Allah has prepared a painful doom
For those of you who've never read the Quran, let me summarize it for you: And for the disbelievers, Allah has prepared a painful doom.

It is easy for Allah
We shall cast him into Fire, and that is ever easy for Allah. Quran 4:30

The Midianite massacre: Have you saved all the women alive?
This is a bible story that everyone should know.

So it was Jesus who sent the fiery serpents in Numbers 21!
One of the craziest stories in the Bible is found in Numbers 21. It all happens in just two verses:
The people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, ne ...

The Spirit of the Lord came upon him

Well, the short answer is this: a Spirit-possessed person usually kills things.
The phrase ("the Spirit of the Lord came upon him" or "came mightily upon him" ...
