One of six quotations in this post is from the Bible and one is not mentioned in any of four other books considered holy by adherents of their religious group. Can you match them up?
If Kumar ever sends me my $25 Best Buy gift card [ I won it as a prize on his blog May 4], I will re-gift it mailing it to the one lucky winner who gets the most right. If there are more than one of you who get all 6 answers correct, I'll have Jackie randomly draw the winner from my Baltimore Orioles cap and post the answers and winner next week. Good luck!
A. The Bible
B. The Bhagavad Gita, [Hindu]
C. The Book of Mormon
D. The Quran
E. The Tipitaka [Buddhist]
F. Not mentioned
1. For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted
2. It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should...give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the ophans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer.
3. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
4. Few are those people in the world who, when acquiring lavish wealth, don't become intoxicated and heedless, don't become greedy for sensual pleasures, and don't mistreat other beings.
5. To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.
6. God helps those who help themselves.
