Do you pray ? Do you read the Holy Bible?

Question

Foggy : repent & ask the Lord to come into your heart and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost then you will understand the Bible - i know it sounds - "out there" but believe me - it happened to me - i did'nt understand it either - until i received the Holy Ghost (which is God's spirit in you) then a whole new life and reading will automatically open up to you !

Answer 1

yes and yes

Answer 2

i pray, i chant in the buddhist tradition, if knew how to pray like a muslim i would do that WHEN my life takes a bad turn-- like when i got a 4-way bypass. again when my house and barn burned down with all i owned. I would recite buddhist chants i would receit the Lord's Prayer and anything else i could think of like the Serenity Prayer. I have tried to read the bible. with a concordence i can slowly make my way through. but most of the bible is damn near incomprehenible to me.it might jsut as well be written in Middle English or the original Greek. I don't trust the accuracy of all the translations let allone how it was comiled inthe first place. Lot of room for huge errors and self-serving interpretatons. i have heard about the contradictions and i have read them. The bible is a real problem. i don't like the fact that so much came from the scribes who far after Jesus was dead. They wrote it all down as they remembered. So much is thrid and fourth hand and bound to be wrong. But i like one fundamental concept that consistently rises up about Jesus. His belief in forgiveness. the abiltiy to atone and repent. As best I know that was a revolutionary concept. That was the core of his philosopy. The Jews who voted that pilot crusify him shows they hated Jesus and his teachings especially forgiveness. Ergo a kinder and more gentle way. l have worked for many high-ranking Jews. I think it is true about their lack of forgivenes. They are a different creed. Except their own tribe, it is one strike and you are out. America is headed that way. Jews dominate so much of the media and banks and high positions in government.
Now it is three strikes and you are out and Rodney King comes to mind. A government based on fear and cruelty turns the masses against the government. You wonder how much more the government must do to trigger revolt. How close do you think we are to that? How many would like to resettle somewhere else. I would chose Yorkshire of even Ireland or Scotland. The great experiment is over. The great melting pot has a foul oder. We came. we conquored but now it is time to leave. Leave it to the infidels. They can fight it out fight it out. I have always felt like England was the homeland I think the native americans and Mexican are bound to take over. Yes there is a foul oder speading over this land.

Answer 4

I used to do all that 30 years ago. I later realized that the Bible is a flawed, man-made book. Use your God-given intelligence to research the origin of the Bible and all the nonsense found in it. You may be living the rest of your life believing in a hoax.

Answer 5

I pray. But I'm Hindu. I pray Hinduism, and I guess Catholism, because I go to a Catholic school. But I would NEVER convert to any other religion. I do read the Bible for school projects and stuff, and I do understand some of it. I do prayer daily in the morning in Hindusim. Then at school I pray during morning prayer and if we have Mass or Chapel. But I am always going to be a Hindu.

Answer 6

I pray, but not to the same God as you. Well, at least not to the same facet. It is the same God, since I believe all Gods are all part of one God, but I do not pray to Yaweh.

Concerning the Holy Bible: I started it. I could not finish it. When I read it, I can feel the terrible wrath of the Judeo-Christian God just filling me. His words are so hateful and terrible I cannot read them. Skip ahead to the Gospels, and God becomes very cheery and happy all of a sudden. But, no I cannot read the Bible.

Answer 7

Yes, I pray often.

Yes, I read he Bible most every day.

What a joy and a privilege to be able to do both!

My life would be meaningless without the fellowship I have with God through prayer and Bible reading.

Answer 8

Speak to God honestly and privately. You dont need a rule book, here.

The Bible, at least for me is a must read...
The old testament is like a history lesson mixed with lessons in discipline...the 10 commandments...the prophets...
The new testament is mainly centered around Jesus and His teachings which are needed and useful today.

Answer 9

I pray, I thank God for things. I've read most of the Bible (some of the Old Testament I haven't read); but I don't accept it as God's word.

Answer 10

Yes. 1Th 5:17 reads: "Pray incessantly". doing so will help u to gain more understanding of God and the Bible.

Answer 11

I do both. Although I don't read the Bible every night, I do pray throughout my day and before I go to sleep. Prayer is universal - crosses over many types of beliefs and religions. I believe that is so because it has so much power. The power of prayer is immeasurable. Your prayers are heard. They are answered.
