Not every day, but often and usually within a study group made up of family and friends.

I use Biblegateway. You can easily flip among versions and translations.

Another good option.

Lmao at the rain men, who are probably lying about having read it once, pretending you recall everything after one read years later or don’t notice new things each time you read it.



Substantive observation; but I do indeed recall the REALLY IMPORTANT Verses...from almost a half century ago. I left 'society' and lived and breathed the 'search' back then. You could take one look at the Bible I carried back into the camp in the woods, and between me an my Father's scribbling down the margins...you'd know we took it apart.

IMO, a person can read the Bible and be able to quote if verbatim forever...but minus the Holy Spirit, it'll just be poetic fairy tales.

"He that seeks to know God...MUST FIRST BELIEVE that God exists". No belief...no faith. Like William James said...Belief must be "an open proposition". There are some things that if one don't experience and believe in them...they will never exist. Love and Beauty at the fore.

The Quantum Physics guys know that Perception and the Perceived Universe, is (can be) Subjective. The day that Einstein, et al found that out...they freaked; and went 'in the closet'.

I study the content in the Bible. I have never been good at reading through anything cover to end without missing the substance because I catch myself unintentionally focusing on getting to the end.

I research certain subjects in the Bible one at a time and it’s much easier to learn that way.

I was an officer in my congregation for 6 years. Each week a different “parsha” ( portion) of the Torah (first 5 books of the old testament) is read. This is a regular part of every Shabbat service.As an officer I attended every service. So I got very familiar with Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Plus the adjunct portions from other books that are historically associated with the parsha.
It is a wonderful and fulfilling pastime.

Just like eating and drinking, I seek my God everyday.

You vote for the party of abortion.

You shouldn't bring up the bible.
