Bible Reading

[yomotalking]

I think I have read all of the Bible as a little girl, with my one-year Bible, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, if I haven't read every single word, I have read 99.9 % of it!

I've read through the entire Bible several times.

I highly recommend every Christian do that. My first time reading through the books we never talked about in Sunday school, I was like, "Wow - cool! I didn't know all of this was in there!"

The One Year Bible does jump around - but they put things into the order they were written / events took place, so it has its advantages.

For instance. reading the prophets in relation to the historic events helps you to understand why they prophecy as they did.

I have read thru the bible entirely, the begats were brutal.

I have also read the Torah and the koran.

Are you saying that you read a Jewish translation?

I read the Bible in a year three times, but am finding that reading three chapters at once is too much for me anymore, I need to take it in much smaller bites, so now I am doing the New Testament in a year. REading smaller portions allows more time to meditate on what you read.

Sometimes I take one verse and think on it for a week, word by word. It's amazing how much revelation is packed into one verse.

Something I have learned about the Bible is that anywhere you enter in is the right place to be. Every single verse can magnify into universal truths, even a single word can do this. Everywhere I go in the Bible leads me to God and His master plan. It's pretty awesome.

For the 20 years I worked out in s.e. oklahoma I drove 3 to 7 thousand miles a month at work.  I listened to the new testament at least 5 times a month and the old testament twice a year for over half of that time.

I have read it several times over the past 50 years or so I've been reading.  I find I learn more from listening to it than reading it, but that's my way of learning.

I find my mind wandering if I try to listen to the Bible being read. I'm definitely a reader. I love writing down verses too. My husband asked why. I don't know, except I like to go back and review them. It's my nature.

Yes, I have read the Bible through... I do it once every year...

I have a great Bible for that... breaks it down for me... (I like easy) lol

It's very aptly named... "The One Year Bible" ... heh go figure...

It's a Tyndale published book (KJV)

Matt. 19:30 - But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. (!)

That would be handy. I'd like something like that but we've got so many Bibles in our house I almost feel guilty about it!!

I read the english version of the Torah. Which is for the most part the first 5 books of the Bible. A few differences in the wording but the jist is the same.

I didn't know that! (I've never looked at the One Year Bible) Now I'll have to go get one.

yes,

i have read thru it... and have also listened thru it....

if a person reads about 10 minutes aday from the old test, and 5 minutes a day from the new test, a person can get thru the entire Bible in one year ( reading out loud).

that equates to about 80 hours of total reading.....

we have the New Test on CD and have a differant disc ( 14 of them ) playing every night, all night long, on repeat play for a single disc. so every 14 days (nights) we have the New Testament spoken to us about 6 - 8 times thru-out the night as we sleep.....

the dreams i have now, are totally differant then they use to be, for I am in prayer as i lay down, and having the Word spoken to me as i slumber, it is embedding itself into my mind, and less chance of trash being able to be attached.

we play the same disc for a complete 24 hour period, so every time a person walks into our bed room, either doing chores, or an emergancy run to the second bathroom or going in for conferance, they are getting the Word of God.

we have the entire Bible on cassett, and i use them in the truck as i work, there are 44 of them, a differant tape each day..... every month and half i can listen to the entire Bible, some times several times over as i drive from service call to service call...... other times i have a prais tape going...
