I am in the habit now of reading the bible with my children at bedtime until they fall asleep every night. I used to just read it by myself but, they wanted me to read to them so now we do it as a family.

Before I became a born again Christian, I was in your shoes. The bible made zero sense to me. I would read it, and could not remember what I read, nor see the importance of the "dusty old book" However, the only way you will be able to understand it is if you accept Christ into your heart. To do this you must be convinced that God exists, then you must have Him dealing with your heart (which I think He is given your concern about not understanding the bible) Then when this comes to light you will see your need of a Savior due to your lacking in the eyes of God.\n\nBleesed be unto you to harken unto this call.

You are right it is there in black and white. instead of reading for themselves most allow themselves to be lead by another who most likely has his own ideas and traditions of men. and don't forget for almost all religions there is money involved. We can figure the Bible out just read it , it is so simple to understand.

Your concept of the books of the bible are totally wrong.\nThe bible writers were chosen by God and their writings weren't just added together.\nThe library as we know it, now bound together was written over nearly 6 thousand years.\nYou cannot make a holy man of yourself. If not inspired of God, nothing will happen. You would be looked on today as a KOOK and ignored

the holy bible is full of prophecies, i suggest you look into the fullfilled and soon to be fulfilled prophecies. It's better than codes, believe me.

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.

Probably because Christians like you have no clue.  You READ the Bible, you practice Christianity.

Bible means book. The word book was in the "holy book" lots of times.

with no doubt the Holy Bible is God words ... but how can we follow it if it has been changed many times over years! ... how can we trust a verse that is true and other is not ...\n\n\n\n" But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard; they altered the words from their places and they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of; and you shall always discover treachery in them excepting a few of them; so pardon them and turn away; surely Allah loves those who do good (to others).

Maybe because that's what that person needed to hear at that moment.  \n\nBut when you cross reference that story with the other Gospels you see the other commandments are summed up as well.  \n\nJesus is basically telling the young religious man,that there's more to just keeping the law, the commandments (all 500+ of them).  You have to be able to be completely dependent upon on God, live to do His work, and not hold on to anything of this world more than you love God.\n\nIts a good lesson for all of us. \n\nBe blessed!  :o)

Mormon isn't true because the Holy Bible was the only book that contained God's words. Jesus said that no one should make any changes to God's words.

I read the Bible cover to cover every year. I read 3 chapters from the Old Testament every day and one chapter from the New Testament. I love it, b/c it keeps me close to God. I also meditate on scripture daily.

I know that the Holy Bible is the infallible Word of God.The reason\n  I know is because I know its author and He abides in me! 1Pe 3:15  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: \n\n2Pe 1:16  For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. \n2Pe 1:17  For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. \n2Pe 1:18  And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. \n2Pe 1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: \n2Pe 1:20  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. \n2Pe 1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.\n    My prayer is that someone will receive Jesus as Lord and Savior then they to can know the Bible is Gods Word.\n                                     In Christ in Love,\n                                        TJ57
