If you are Christian......Have you read every page of the bible?

Question

I want you to read every page of the bible, not the ones that the priests or pastors told you to read, but ALL of them, and pay very close to what people say, yes even God and Jesus, and tell me what you think?

Ok, people thought I meant as quickly as they can
I meant take your time and tell me the content you find in the bible, even the stuff you don't wanna admit to say you found disturbing

Answer 1

I guess illiterate folks can never be Christians then . . . .

Answer 2

I think that there was people inspired by the Holy Spirit that wrote the prophetic words in the Old Testament and the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were people that was with Jesus. I think they seen what Jesus did and the miracles He performed. I think Jesus said exactly what is printed. I have read the New Testament many many times. I believe Jesus was crucified and arose on the third day. I believe the apostles seen him ascend to heaven. I believe He will return. I am sorry but no pastor or priest told me to read the Bible for I am not affiliated with a church setting. I got my trust of the Lord from the Bible. I also got my faith from the written Word.

Answer 3

Well, I've read a lot of it, much more the the pastor says to and he is pleased with this. In fact, I'm reading the Bible yet again, because as you get older things start to become more clear. I must say that's a good challenge that I'll be more then happy to "show you up" on. God Bless!

Answer 4

tell you what I think about what? any specific thing?? or just the Bible in general??? I have not read the Bible completely through. I am still working on it. But if it's just the Bible in general that you want my opinion on, I don't need to read it real quick and let you know.

The Bible is the perfect Word of God. No contradictions in it. The only contradictions that people can come up with are their own personal mis-interpretations.

Answer 5

I'm not a Christian, and yes I've read every page several times.

At first I loved the Bible. I was a devout Christian for many years. Then I read it with an open mind and I saw all the flaws, mistakes, inconsistencies and errors and realized that it is not perfect, therefore could not be the word of God. Men's inperfections aside, I think if God spoke to you, you would have put it down correctly. It's just a collection of ancient stories written to teach people to live, to fear God and to obey laws.

Answer 6

The Bible is to teach-lead-guide-direct individual toward a spiritual acceptance and interpretation of love – love to God and love to man.

According to Scripture, the Bible does have many purposes. It is “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
Paul tells Timothy to “preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction” (2 Tim. 4:2).

At the same time, since God is one, there is naturally a unity of purpose to all his word. All his words manifest his glory ( John 17:1).

In all his words to us, God enjoins us to “be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16; Lev. 19:2; 20:7). Or, as James says, “Do not merely listen to the word; and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:22).

All of the Bible leads to Christ (Luke 24:44-49).
Praise God.

Answer 7

I have read it every page, and have read it alot, some portions more than others, and others over a thousand times. I read it because it is not only the Word of God, but it is God's revealed Word for instruction, rebuking, conviction for training in righteousness so that the man of God may be equipped unto every good work. - If we read it because a priest or pastor demands it of us then we are just covering ground and are legalistic in our reading and does us no good, in the same vein if we just read to say that we have read it, even a thousand times every page, just to say that you have then it avails you nothing. The only way to read the word of God is to love it, because God loves you and to read and digest it by faith in the Son of God who died for you and was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. One must read it as it is! - the precious Word of God - else you are just reading black on white, not really coming to the truth.

Answer 8

I have read every page of the Bible, in various translations, 18 times over the past 6 years. I even read every genealogy (perhaps I should say I slog through the genealogies...)

Throughout the whole Bible, there is a scarlet thread of redemption that all points to our need, and what Jesus did to fulfill that need.

Answer 9

Reading 'all the Bible' is a primary reason I left the 'church' I was brought up in.
Currently,I am waiting to see if another congregation (where my wife currently attends) and I presently attend (but officially I am not a member of) would change (on one of a few 'big picture' points). If not, I am 'outta there'.

Answer 10

Yes, including the Greek NT and many translations, The New World, Catholic and Book of Mormon, too. Koran and my other writings. I've been studying religions and cults as a hobby for decades.

You can tell Christians who are unlearned by their posts on Y!A. Sadly, the average Christian is no match even for a Jehovah's Witness knocking at the front door.

Answer 11

Not yet, I mean every singlepage..but I am working on it. I love it. I have many Bibles, I like to compare. It is so interesting. God is really talking to me now when I let Holy Spirit in.
