Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. –Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)–
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. –Mark 11:25 (ESV)–
If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. –Matthew 6:14-15 (ESV)–
Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” –Matthew 18:21-22 (ESV)–
Forgive, and you will be forgiven. –Luke 6:37 (ESV)–
Do good to those who hate you. –Luke 6:27 (ESV)–
The Lord said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”…I once had a dream… –Genesis 31:3, 10 (NIV)–
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.” –Genesis 37:19-20 (NIV)–

When it comes to colleges, I would recommend Bob Jones University as the most creationist Baptist school; and Lee University as the most creationist Pentecostal school. For a longer list of creationist colleges, look here and here. –J.B.–
I don’t know how accurate this list is. Its from 2003. Assemblies of God has become more influenced by theistic evolution, so has Church of the Nazarene. Adventists are not orthodox on Hell either. –J.B.
The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. –Revelation 21:8 (KJV)–

The Tower of Babel
GENESIS 11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah. 30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.
