There are 11 verses straight out of the King James Version of the Bible that are not commonly read or known, but they shed light on important subjects within the Bible that may go unnoticed.


1. Isaiah 56:10

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

Yes, God refers to certain people as "dumb dogs."

2. Job 30:30

My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

3. Song of Solomon 1:5-6

I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black.

4. Revelation 20:15

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

5. Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things doth the Lord hate: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief; a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord.

It would seem that God does not love everyone no matter what they do. He, too, can hate.

6. Numbers 11:14-15

14 I [Moses] am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

Even Moses had his share of difficulties. So much so that he wanted to die.

7. Song of Solomon 5:11

His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

His hair is described as that of black people's hair — black and bushy like wool.

8. Proverbs 13:24

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

9. John 15:23

He that hateth me [Jesus] hateth my Father also.

You can not love God the Father and disregard Jesus. If you don't believe in Jesus, you are showing that you also hate the Father.

10. I John 4:20

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

11. John 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
