Ohhh yes.....awesome question David. :) I read my Bible everyday. I would be LOST without it...to not read it, wow....my heart sinks at the very thought. Truly, we cannot survive without the Bread of Life...JESUS. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. They go hand-in-hand.
Several years ago, I went one day without reading my Bible...I was going to sleepover my friend's house, and I was packing up my stuff to go over. Well, it was late at night and right before I left my house, I said, " Lord it's late, and I don't have enough time to read Your word. It won't matter much if I skip one day. I will read it tomarrow." Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh was that a bad decision. I will never forget that next day...ever. EVERYTHING went wrong, to put it simply. I will NEVER do that again. I always make sure I have some sort of scripture with me wherever I go. That way I will have it on hand all the time.
To go without reading God's word is like going without air, and pretending you don't really need it. I thank GOD sooooo much for His precious word!!!!! To not have my Bible, wow......that's a heart wrenching thought. BUT, that's why we need to MEMORIZE scripture as well...that way we always have His word in our hearts and minds.
Yes, we also need to rededicate our lives to Jesus each day and allow Him to flow through us...totally surrendered to HIS will, not ours. And, yessssss...we need to pray for Him to not let anyone/anything take away the peace and joy that we have in Him. LOVED this post, David.......Oh yes!!

David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades Christianity.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess learning basic hebrew wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity.

You can be any religion & read your scriptures. I read my before bed every night to calm me & remind me I am never alone & have nothing to fear for Jesus is my Redeemer.
I guess the answer though was about 45 mins ago, I was looking up something for a friend. I have a Bible in my computer amoire for just such occassions. One by my bed & one in my family room. I like to read the truth, I just do not usually share that information with others - it is a need to know information as to when I study my scriptures.

I just have read 2 Tim 2:23-24 where it says to not argue and debate with non believers but avoid them. The word feeds our spirit man if we read it daily and meditate on it. Keep asking questions. God bless.
Shalom
I love you ,David

It has been a while but I pick it up from time to time. I have read it several times. I would say the last time I read was 3 weeks ago.

Oh look, dear. More preaching.
I strongly suspect that even though other people read their Bibles, they are likely to come up with different interpetations than you.
