Writing Study Notes In One's Bible

[Christie_M]

I"m not totally sure if it's a sin to write in the Bible or not, but my dad has told me it is...I remeber being yelled at from my dad because I accidently put a pencil mark on one of the pages.

Whoever wrote about the people writing the footnotes, right on!

Oh...this is too bad...I changed the part where Eve ate the apple first.

I thought it was the other way around... not writing in your Bible being a mortal sin

[Groo the Wanderer]

LORF!


Writing in your Bible, highlighting, taking notes are all good things. Heck, if you are gonna even try apologetics, you'll need a good Bible with lotsa notes in there to help you keep your train of thought. BTW - Bible tabs....get them. Helps a lot when dealing with Prots. Some folks are impatient and seem to equate speed of passage look-ups to authority...go figger.

I got em all, especially since I use the RSV-2CE...very few footnotes

Wow!

You do not want to see mine...

I use the tabs, of course.

I then have a dozen different color self-adhesive arrows ( similar to the "Sign Here" arrors that accountants, realtors, etc use ) which I use to locate information on the 12-steps of recovery.

Then <GASP> I use a yellow highlighter to mark the associated text.

I don't ever write in my Bibles because I like to have ones with leather covers and gold-paint edges. It would just seem strange to write in such a book.

If it's to cross out parts you don't like or modify the meaning deliberately, that's problematic.[/quote]



I went to one of the most orthodox Catholic colleges in the country and we were encouraged to highlight and note-take as necessary.

You must have written in an apple tree too!

My RSV-CE2's condition during school would have given me a one way ticket to hell. It had highlighter marks, notes, cross references, sticky notes, arrow tabs (color coded by subject lol), paper clips, etc.

Sadly, I lost it somewhere between Ohio and Louisiana lol So all my notes are gone

[Resurrexi]

So I take it you don't usually read the MS?

Yes, as did all of us in Dr. Bergsma's class. I took out over 300 sticky notes in my RSV-CE2 when the class was over. It's held up very well given the abuse it takes from me though. The binding is still solid, which I can't say for most things from Ignatius.
