You could really hurt yourself. That's one heavy book.

I have the same problem. What I do is lay down, close my eyes and in my mine I'll keep calling on Jesus and I would adventurely go to sleep.

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

Cautious.  I would feel the need to learn more about the Bible "study".  Too often such "study" is an indoctrination session with carefully selected passages, a strictly managed curriculum and little opportunity for meaningful discussion.  I don't mind having selections pre-chosen but if only pre-anticipated questions and pre-packaged answers are allowed, I won't last long.  I prefer a free-wheeling, multi-dimensional discussion of the whole reading: text, context, intent, cultural background, comparisons to similar passages, theological issues, application to real life, but not a spoon-fed "explanation".  \n\nAlternately, I could go for a slow prayerful, line-by-line, spontaneous hear-and-respond session.  Such "shared prayer" provides an unrehearsed spritual opportunity that can shake loose some surprising insights.

Read the Bible and pray.

Get yourself a Bible that is easy for you to read. You will stall out with the old English of the King James Bible. Just read as much as you want every day. If you only have time to read one verse, then so be it.  Just do it every day. Start at the beginning and put a book mark in after each reading. Don't worry how long it will take. Just enjoy it.

read before you sleep, and read in dim light. this actually makes u sleep faster because the brain becomes more tired.

1 Thessalonicenses 4:13-18\n13 ¶  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.\n14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.\n15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.\n16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:\n17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.\n18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

the holy spirit pleads with you, "stop sleeping!  wake up!  What are you waiting for?\n\nyou may have a shield built into your imagination, some refer to this as the shield of faith, you must know that your only chance for survival is to wield this shield/stay awake until sunrise, all will be fine just before dawn, when you will not be able to stay awake any longer, doze off for a few seconds and in a flash you will be able to view your past incarnations\n\nfrom this time on study the book of genesis\n\nlearn to invoke the different names of god, all of which, when pronounced correctly, have power to heal the world, with this knowledge you will be able to keep the world in good repair\n\n\nbe the Master of the Holy Name\n\n\n\nstop sleeping\n\nwake up\n\nwhat are you waiting for

No, it's a horrible book. It's definitely a bad book to get your morals from, it's not truth, it's horribly written fiction... the only reason to read the Bible is if you're looking to become an atheist!

The Bible states that God doesn't send messages through dreams anymore.  It ended with the apostles.  However, the Bible also states that "Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need."  Perhaps your sleeping mind is reminding you of that fact, and you should seek your answers in God's word.  If so, you can request a free Bible study at the source that I linked for you.

The Bible is a very good tool to use in arguments if you don't really want to think too hard because it's pretty easy to find whatever passage in there to suit your needs if you need to pull something out.  Seeing as how it's a pretty popular book, it's not that bad an idea.\n\nThere are people out there who actually take time to study it and figure out things, but those kinds of people seem more rare these days.

Get there early (which means you probably shouldn't be here reading this), and be enthusiastic but not cheesy. Here's the tricky part: you'll want to have personal anecdotes available to help them relate to the scriptural content; in other words, help them translate it out of Bible-ese. BUT, be careful that you are aware at all times where the Word stops and YOU begin. Proceed prayerfully, and all of this will be of no consequence to you. Have fun. It's a very noble endeavor.

you mean like in Song of Solomon? I can't think of any other passages that would turn you on....anyway, I don't think it's ok to get aroused by the bible!

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.
