Carnanc Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I wonder how many people here have read every word of the bible. I have started it a couple times, and have been unable to make it all the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some parts are reaaaaaally boooooooooring. :sleep: Straight through, front-to-back is not the way to do it. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeful1 Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 wow, this thread is about a year old! well, i guess a little update is in order. in the past few weeks i've actually gotten a little better. i've recently spoken to a priest about this and, as silly as it sounds, he told me to consider it a date with jesus and that i shouldn't stand up my date. i know it sounds really crazy, but it's helping me to remember and in the past week or two i've been reading out of john. there are still some days where i don't get to it at all, but i've gotten better. which reminds me..... jesus and i are going out tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatcatholic Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 i spend so much time reading about theological topics and engaging in apologetics that i read something from the bible every day. usually, i intend to just look up a verse, and find myself reading entire letters or books.

Aloysius Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I don't find myself study-reading the Bible... or trying to read it cover to cover or anything maybe one day I'll get to doing that again... I used to do it a bunch but for now, is is something that I hear in the liturgy something that, when I ever do personally read, I do with reverence and prayer and not an entire book or specific verse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 nope... looks good to me. unless it contradicts the dogmatic canons of all those pre-Nicaea councils... then we might need to make some changes lol sorry, couldn't resist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggy Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 one tip i have heard is to put a Bible next to your bed, so if you have gone your whole day without reading a word, you can read some before you go to bed. You don't have to read a whole chapter, or a whole page, you can read just a verse. it will take you forever to get through a book, but that is not the point... the point is to make sure you never go a day without reading [i]something[/i] out of the Bible.
