I'm not to be religious or anything,I just wanted to know if
anyone here at SO reads the bible,The Bible is most interesting
book,No wonder it's so hard to finish reading,All the words
and values of prophets,saints and followers leave you in wonder.

I read the Bible.

I do

I read it.

No

I mean, I believe in God and all that and I'm confirmed and all, and we have one...somewhere...but I never read it

Of course not. I'm Catholic.

Or at least that's my excuse.

my mom's bible was kind of passed down to me (at first it was gonna be buried with her) but i don't bother with it.

What have you got against Catholics? Chambers,
I' m Catholic and if I ever my church,I read the Bible
to make up for it,Catholicism is a form of Christiany you know.

Yes, I've read the bible, and sadly, I know too much about it to be christian.

yes

I don't usually read the bible. I believe that God is within all of us. When we experience love, hope, peace, joy, compassion, wisdom, honesty, courage, I think that's what God is. I do watch religious programming occassionally on tv. I like to watch the bible lesson on Vision TV. It's on every Saturday night. I try to watch it when I'm home. I'm not a very religious person, but I do believe in a Higher Spirit.

What? I really am Catholic. Historically, the Church didn't make laymen read the bible because they were all illiterate. Protestants were the ones who started to encourage people to read the bible regularly. That's all I was refering to. I was just using that as an excuse because I've never been interested in reading it.

I went through four years of CCD class, so I am pretty well versed in the Bible. It features some of the most beautiful and powerful writing in human history.

My mom is always saying things like that too, but more in a "I'm protestant and frown on catholicism" type of way.

My school would hold those classes every weekend. I remember my teacher making us clean our desks every friday and pick tiny crumbs off the floor on our hands and knees.

I used to attend Catholic school for K-6, but even then, I didn't believe in God.. my parents now force me to attend CCD, so I just sit there and try to pretend that I actually care.

I read it just about every day.

Do I read the bible? Yes. In fact, I pattern my life after christ.

No

I mean, I believe in God and all that and I'm confirmed and all, and we have one...somewhere...but I never read itI dont read it either. I feel we should be be able to worship WHOEVER WE WANT,in our own time!! (The way we want to)

Besides I dont know if the bible is accurate,its been redone so many times!!

But Matthew 5 and 6 are very good passages!

Yeah. I usually read three chapters a week. Plus I read a couple of different daily devotionals (Open Windows and Our Daily Bread).

Me ,read the Bible?. No I couldn't tell you much. Although both my brother's and my name is in the bible.

I dont read it either. I feel we should be be able to worship WHOEVER WE WANT,in our own time!! (The way we want to)

Why would you want to WORSHIP anyone but GOD?

Besides I dont know if the bible is accurate,its been redone so many times!!

I can insure you that it is ACCURATE !
Why have than been so many people that have try to prove the BIBLE wrong
but turn out only to PROVE IT RIGHT AND ACCURATE?


But Matthew 5 and 6 are very good passages!
So you think that these are the only passages that are TRUE?



If you try to read the BIBLE straight though from Genesis to Revelation, you will probably never understand it!

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:16


Google (and read):
Historical facts that prove the BIBLE is true.

or Scientific finds that prove the BIBLE is true.

or Archaeological finds that prove the BIBLE is true.

I would love to see the FIRST RELEASE of the bible and see how much has been changed.. (Probably all of it)
