Everyday. It's amazing how of today's phrases are actually Biblically based.
Go the extra mile
Fly in the ointment
good samaritan
No rest for the wicked
Physician, heal thy self
live by the sword, die by the sword
by katydid15 on November 3rd, 2008
Pretty much never. I'm really bad at remember quotes from anything verbatim.
by Daniel on November 3rd, 2008
Frequently, especially on AB. In person, I still use the Bible quite often in conversation. It applies to almost any aspect of life, and it's the ultimate answer to most questions I have.

Only in past life
by Pixie - jeg er elsket on November 3rd, 2008
VERY rarely, even in religious discussions i rarely bring it up. I dont consider the Bible very credible because of my personal view on it.
Please dont troll me ;-;

Never.

If it's with people I know that I share common spiritual interests with, I'll do it once in awhile. With people I don't know, on occasion if they show an interest I will show them the quotation but usually won't quote it so they can see it for themselves. With many people it never comes up.

Hardly ever....I have never felt the need to force Catholicism down others throats.
The only time it comes up is if a) someone asks me a question about the Church or b)I am talking to someone whom I know would be receptive to such a topic (like one of my fellow parishoners)

once or twice maybe..if that spare thy rod and spoil thy child is in there..if not then never
by philosopher-saint on November 3rd, 2008
I try to do that often, if it fits, of course. It sometimes freaks people out because Bible quotes occasionally make a great point inna real trippy way!

Also, I like quoting some Bible lessons to religious zealots who sometimes argue against a well-known principle to assert their own beliefs/interpretations!

Uhhhhh, maybe 1 time out of roughly 100,000 conversations.

by roserose100 on November 3rd, 2008
Never...I would be scared to misquote it.
by Tel UK- Licensed to fish! on November 3rd, 2008
Never...it can say nothing that I cant think of for myself...
by Prunesquallor on November 3rd, 2008
Only when I am trying to fend off the religious zealots.
by Misplaced_Diamond on November 3rd, 2008
Never
by Talimze on November 3rd, 2008
Infrequently. Sometimes I might quote the Bible without realizing it. For reals.
by Bohemian is back on November 3rd, 2008
Never. Except all the phrases that are in the Bible that have survived to the present day and are used in modern parlance.
by Jack wears love COAT on November 3rd, 2008
Only if necessary.
by bubbles on November 2nd, 2008
never...
by jeanie16 on November 2nd, 2008

by King Tom on November 2nd, 2008
From the book of Tom 12:19
"then King Tom said that he has never quoteth the bible in all his days"
by jin jang on November 2nd, 2008
Never,for I know no bible quotes.
by miteb on November 2nd, 2008
I don't
by technios on November 2nd, 2008
once in a great while... almost never a direct quote
by Don Gorgeous George on November 3rd, 2008
A couple times a week, when I am disproving the existence of God.
by Salty Light on November 3rd, 2008
I don't know how many times, but almost every day.
by Ree26 on November 3rd, 2008
probably more than I think, but also not as much as I I should
by Riding the last galaxy on December 12th, 2008
I use Scripture quite often on a forum such as AB but in normal conversation not nearly as much unless a certain subject arises that warrants it. Most of the people that I know, know that I am a Christian and don't need to "quote" to prove it.
by Parepidemos on October 26th, 2009
It depends largely on the conversation. Quoting Scripture while talking about football isn't a good idea. If you mean a religious conversation then as often as necessary to answer any questions that may arise.
by Roselynn...unregistered text offender... on November 3rd, 2008
Not often, unless someone inquires about it...

by autumn leaves on December 12th, 2008
just about every day.
by shrinkess on December 12th, 2008

Christians, does the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) still apply and still matter today? This is a follow up of my first question.
