Hollywood is not necessarily known for its virtue. In fact, it could easy take the nickname “Sin City” away from Las Vegas. And certainly the celebrities our culture seems to worship are not always the best examples of morality. We thought it would be amusing to match some quotes from the “Good Book” with certain stars that seem to illustrate the point. So, whether you’re religious or not, here are 15 Bible verses that could be about celebrities.
1. Describes Tiger Woods to a T
“They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin.”
2 Peter 2:14
2. Could This be a Message for Kris and Kim?
“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.”
1 Timothy 6:9-10
3. Look Out, Charlie Sheen
“But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.”
1 Corinthians 5:11
4. Surely Channing Tatum’s the Exception
“Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”
Revelation 16: 13-15
5. Sorry, We Love Johnny Depp’s Locks
“Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him.”
Corinthians 11:14
6. Even God Wants You to Shut It, Mel
“These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.”
Jude 1:16
7. Simon Cowell Probably Agrees
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.”
John 5:21
8. Hear That, Justin Beiber?
“For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.”
Peter 4:3
9. Listen Up Nicki Minaj
“Do not let your adorning be external — the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear — but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.”
Peter 3:3-4
10. Maybe Tori and Dean Shouldn’t Look for Answers on Reality TV
“What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?”
James 4:1
11. Don’t Think Donald Trump Got This Memo
“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have…”
Hebrews 13:5
12. How the Mighty Have Fallen, Bill Cosby
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
Timothy 3:1-5
13. Bill Gates Has More Money Than God (Almost)
“As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.”
Timothy 6:17-20
14. Uh Oh, Billy Bob’s Been Divorced 5-Times
“And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”
Matthew 19:9
15. Rihanna’s Not the Only Celeb to Go Down for This
“You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves.
Leviticus 19:28
