Job 1:21 (KJV)Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

You can also hear it while watching the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" special features disc. Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort yells in one scene.

So many read the words of Job 1:21, but never bother to consider the fact that Job was not speaking of events to come. He was speaking of what he had already experienced. In turn this should lead us to reading Job 1:1 through Job 1:20 and seeing for ourselves that God never took a single thing from Job. In fact, after disciplining Job based on his words of error and anger toward God, it was the Lord who actually gave to Job, but He never took a single thing.

What does it mean to say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away?

The proper quote is 'God giveth life and God taketh life away'. This means that God gives us life and he decides when it is time for our lives to come to an end, when he feels it is best. This quote is used often in ethical discussions involving Christianity and religion. For example, in conversations about euthanasia (mercy killing), this quote can be used to demonstrate that euthanasia is not right in the eyes of the lord becuase it is he that decides when we die.

Does jesus say pisseth in the bible?

I cannot find whether Jesus used the word, though the word LORD in capitals in 1 Kings suggests that God did use the word. 1 Kings Ch. 14 v 10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Where in the Bible does it say let each man believe his own day of worship?

It doesn't say, "let each man believe his own day of worship," however, it does talk about "esteeming" one day above another. Romans 14:5,6 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. (King James Version)
