Does Jesus care if we write notes alongside His words?  

I doubt it matters to Him. What matters is that we study. However that occurs isnt an issue.

I think the Lord would love a worn out marked up Bible....   showing our studying and care for his word.

Some people make idols out of thier Bibles.

I agree.  That's why I left that mindset years ago that said "don't write in the Bible or set anything on top of it."

Thanks all, I was just wondering what everyone else does.

I personally use the blue letter bible, esword and biblegateway on my phone and tablet.    My pc I have biblesoft's pcBible.  I can make notes, underline and highlight along with doing searches.....   many different translations

I use Laridan OO ... it's a one time purchase and can be used tablet, phone, pc all synced together where ever you work....
I use PC Study Bible as well been with them since 1989 1 year after they began and before Logos ever started in 1992.

Its not that I feel its blasphemy to write in a bible. Its just that I find it difficult to write in any book. I take notes when I study and post them in a blog. It is easier for me to do that.

Yes. My Bible is cover with notes and highlights. I use it as a study guide for my life.

I was raised (in the 1960's - 1970's) to NOT write in the Bible, don't lay anything on top of the Bible, don't fold the pages, and don't lay it on top of anything secular.

Well, I don't believe any of that anymore, but I still can't bring myself to take notes IN the Bible.  I take copious Bible notes during private study or church services in notebooks and have many of those notes now stored on my computer.

Do any of you take notes IN your Bibles?  If so, what kind of writing utensil do you use?  Pen - pencil?  Highlighter? Do you just underline things or do you write out notes?

I get tired of carrying notebooks back and forth to church and am thinking about taking Bible notes in the Bible at church and still using my notebooks at home.

My old Bible is full of notes.  I never folded pages,, but I did write notes in the blank pages back and front and in the in the part where all the pages come together.  I carry a note book too. I had a Bible years ago, it was  Thomson Chain Reference Bible.  I loved it.  It fell to pieces and I didn't know what to do with it.  But finally after completely falling apart I did throw it away.  I have one now that I got last year from a dear friend of mine.  It's purple and I have places filled it as to who gave it to me,  the date of my marriage, birthdays and dates of death in the proper areas.  I have underlined verses, highlighted many, many verses in yellow.  So I don't see anything wrong with doing all of the above.
