I read the most of the Bible. It's not the Book that made me an atheist but rather the hypocrisy of a lot of people who claim to be Christians.\n\nNot all, I agree, but too many.

Actually to answer peace, it is perhaps the most translated book in history next to the bible and is known by the whole of china which makes up a 1/5 of the world's population, + lots of scholars and philosophy interested people, + taoists of course.  As one of the main 3 texts of taoism it is indeed an important book (Tao Te Ching, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu)\n\nYes I was aware of this, did you know the I-Ching is even older still!  And perhaps contains some really startling information.\n\nA lot of what would have gone into the Tao Te Ching would also have survived in other texts or by oral tradition before becoming the works we know today as the Tao Te Ching.  The Hua Hu Ching is a good read too, again with some interesting thoughts on the nature of things. (i think they pioneered quantum physics millenia ago!)\n\nIt is a wonderful book that everyone should have a look at!\nYou can get it off the internet easy enough.

The Bible is a study. It is not ment to be read as a novel. I have been a Christian for 6 yrs and have not made it through all of the Bible. But I know many, many who have. But none who have , that I know would tell yo to just  start at the begining and read to the end. \n\nI recomend Starting in The New Testiment. Try First John. Or Luke Chapt 1 & 2 and then go to First John...\n\nfor my pov on the Bible:\n\nhttp://pages.zdnet.com/mikevanauken/mikesinternetoutreach/id4.html

War and Peace has more pages than the Bible (depending on who publishes it).\n\nThe longest book would be one that has volumes (ie. more than one book in the series).  Google "the longest book" to find it

Contrary to what a lot of Englightened people on here will have you think, the Bible isn't just for scholars or spinners. If it is true, the Bible is God's Word to man, then I think it is safe to take the book at face value assuming that most people were quite illiterate at the time of its first use. \n\nGod would not make his only word to man undicipherable to all, save the rich intellects of the world. This seems like the biggest, most obvious trap, out there! The rich have the key to salvation, but of course they do! The rich Europeans, to take it even further and make it better! Give me a flippin break. This is getting stupid.\n\nThis is one of the major "flaws" in the entire idea of the Bible being God's Word. Does God not know that most people on Earth are hardly literate, can't understand Hebrew or Aramic, and by inspiring a 3,000 plus page text, he has put the salvation of nearly everyone on earth in the hands of a very few who can actually READ who came from Europe and were bent on ruling the world at all cost??! Impossible for God to do such a thing to 90% of the rest of his own creation!\n\nSo, read the Bible just as it comes to you. Yes, God asked God why he forsakened himself. That is the surface interpretation, no spin. Unless your parents could afford to send you to private school, where they teach you how to spin, I mean interpret the Bible, or unless you were born into Christianity where there are churches all around you that teach these spin techniques, you would never know that when you read page 2,198 in the Bible, that it is ACTUALLY refering to page 1,328 which REALLY means what page 498 said in the third paragraph referring to page 20.\n\nThe logical or face understanding of the text, is that God called out to himself(strange indeed), in a manner that seemed  much like begging of himself to help himself. It's ridiculous.

The Bible is many things to many people at many times in their lives.  It is a / the good book... It is a history lesson of religion for christians and jews alike.  It is a collection of alegorical stories & accounts by and of some very good men and some perhaps not so good, trying their best to understand why we are here and how we should act.  To this end and it's sucess it is a work of Art by man who have been placed on this earth by the grace of God who is the Universe. The new testiment is especially important to me as it is the account of the best man who ever lived on this earth, truely the son of God, Jesus Christ.  It is also a book with a great collection of inspirational stories and psalms.

I have been reading about that as of late and find it interesting.  plausible. The bible has seen a lot gone through a lot in that i mean translations.  It also stands that some books were purposely left out.  With that in mind I don't feel it proves with out a shadow of a doubt that its true.  However it does leave enough room for the thought and probability.

The Bible is only a version of what happen, that is why they call them versions.  There are many eyes that seen what happen and many different versions.  But only a few that are widely popular.  People see things differently in every aspect and that goes with today as well.  It is history, but only a version.

The bible is a compilation of hundreds even thousands of authors who wrote stories about their experiences, sermons, letters to churches/congregations, over thousands of years.  They had Faith in their beliefs about what they wrote, but none of it is really supposed to be fact so much as an expression of faith through illustrations and stories.

I have the KJ Bible. It is the true inspired word of God. There are no books left out. God put everything in there that He wanted us to know. I take God for His word. Many other Bible have been changed, and rewritten to please man.  Jesus is the living word, and the Bible is the written word, and it is true from the beginning, to the end.

I know personally that I read the Bible because I gain knowledge from each time I open it. God is Truth. The word of God is Truth. By gaining an understanding of the Bible and reading it, we can use that in our daily lives to defeat Satan. We can also use passages that we read to apply to our daily lives. On how to live and etc.

The total of the reading which I have done in this particular bible amounts to somehwre between 35 and 45 times for The New Teastament and about 11 times for the Old Testament.  This does not count looking up some very small specific sections in the Old Testament, perhaps the best part of 1000 times.\n\nI read in quest of spiritual truths and continued after making great progress, but not necessarily by way of the Bible, although it greatly helped.  God can answer your questions in many ways not involving more Bible reading.  The best Answers from God apply to your place in the NOW.\n\nI have a blog if this sounds interesting:\n\nhttp://www.spaces.msn.com/members/up-escalator

"Bad Girls of the Bible" and "Really Bad Girls of the Bible" are both great books.  Also DC Talk has a book called "jesus freaks" which is a bunch of short stories about martyrs around the world, excellent book and a quick read.\n\nPurpose Driven Life is a good book as well. \n\nIf you want a good book to read in regards to eduction as well, "Reading the Bible for All it's Worth" (or it may be How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth). Very good book to help you discern what you are reading and the relevance of it.\n\nCase for Christ and Case for a Creator are by Lee Strobel.  He was an anthiest set out to disprove God/Christ and instead became a believer.\n\nLeft Behind series, Present Darkness series (although it can spook you) etc are all books that focus on tribulation/revelations.
