This list comes from “Church Hopping,” and it’s a good list. I can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone basing a sermon on any of these. Here’s an example:
Deuteronomy 23:1: No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
If you don't mind, Erich, could you post the list here? For some reason, when I go to the site, it's as if someone from the Justice Department has been through it with a magic marker and occluded much of the text. It's weird.
Mark: Apparently, you are more interesting to Homeland Security than me. Here is the list of bible verses mentioned above, along with their links to a bible site:

I spent a bit of time at Churchhopping. It's a thoughtful, often light-hearted site.
The list and the comments are good. I imagine one could write some pretty interesting sermons about those texts. Who knows, church attendance might actually increase!
I guess that means I'm not going to heaven. 🙁
Ben: I can only hope it was an accident, and I do hope it all gets better.
Ben, TMI! 😀
I reviewed this list again, and I have a new favorite Bible verse: Ezekiel 23:19-20
I can just imagine all the fundies gathered around the bible tonight contemplating this verse . . .
