entry: Lord is My Shepherd... by LuckyXIII
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
-Psalm 23

Legion: For someone who seems to be so active in the Christian Church (of which I am a member by the way), shouldn't you be promoting ANY knowledge of the Bible in this day and age, as opposed to -

If you want to delude yourself in thinking your are correct, please do so. Tangling with your impertinence is silly, because you're right and ALL of IBY is wrong.

Anything taken from it can be considered brief given the scale of the bible.

It's not brief in the scope of the definition of "an excerpt". However, it entirely fits the criteria of the definition given the context in which the material comes from. The bible is a LARGE BOOK,

You just said a minute ago it wasn't brief, now your calling it brief. There is no point in debating with someone who's going to contradict themselves openly.

It may be a "whole chapter", but it's a 'brief' chapter in scope of the bible which makes it a passage which makes it a quotation!

In any type of discussion you look to disqualify something first. Not to qualify it.

I read the definition in its entirety. It is you that wants to pick which definition suits you.

Just like with anything, were looking for something to disqualify it. Therefore it not being "brief" disqualifies it. This isn't a passage, it's many passages in the book. It's a whole chapter.

You said it yourself, this entry is not brief, and it's not a quote, it's multiple quotes. Now you just told me I'm right. Thank you.

"not brief", exactly ! must not be a quote then as per the entire definition of a quote. You want to pick and choose which definition works best for you, you're not reading it in it's entirety.

Well, reason, logic, and this discussion thread are the egg on your face of contentment. An excerpt, or a brief quotation are not applicable in this argument for the fact that this entry is not brief

As long as you know that you're wrong, I'm content, and you agreed to disagree about 30 comments ago. You know brief is in the definition for a reason. Hello?? Wake up

It's not my definition, it's the dictionary definition. An excerpt is as shortened form of a quote.

But it defies the keyword brief. They wouldn't have put the word brief, had that not been important. By your definition of "to repeat words from a book", I can quote an entire book. Wrong.

Everything you said here, I said earlier in this set of comments. This entry is not the one I flagged, but I think you have realized that now. They simply wanted to argue for the sake of it here.
