How do I properly read the bible?Do I read it from cover to cover or stick to the NT or what?

Answer 1

Cover to cover is best. Then when you get to the end go back over it and learn what the theme is of the Bible. There is a reason why it was written. In the beginning Adam and Eve sinned. The devil wanted to be worshipped like God and God made a plan to fix the wrong. He started with the first one to obey him Abraham and promised him that his children would bring a Savior Jesus to help man kind gain salvation from sin and death. If people would listen to his message they would live forever on Earth.Then he promised his Savior that if he would obey him to his death he would give him the Kingdom and destroy wickedness forever.

Answer 2

No. There are many "read the Bible in a year" plans that work. Most have verses from the OT and NT that correspond.You can find those on line or simply ask at a local church.
I would start with Luke.

Also, you could ask yourself what you're feeling at that moment or what issues you are facing that day and look in the back of the Bible. There you will find verses listed under such topics as sadness, guilt, fear, depression, joy, etc and you can read the Bible verses that are directly related to the issues you are concerned with at that time.

Answer 3

I would start with the NT with one of the Gospels either Mathew or John then go on and read Acts, after that some of the other NT books or start on the OT

Remember the OT does not run in chronological order - so you don't have to read it in order but I would start with Genesis and Exodus and then move on from there

When reading the OT I would suggest reading it in conjunction with a good commentary or at least using a study Bible

Answer 4

Read Gospel of John and then be led.
Jesus is asking you today, Who do you say that I am?
That’s the main question,-------- the one which will determine your eternal soul’s destination.

You know, He was not a good man or a teacher as many grudgingly speak of Him.
He was one of three things.
1.He was a lunatic, a madman, suffering from delusions of grandeur; or
2.He was a liar, a deceiver trying to pass himself off as something he was not, or,
3.He is Lord of all Life, and He holds all Life in His hands now and forever.
There are no other possibilities—Because He made His three great claims: “I am God, I will raise the dead, and I will be the final judge.”
Accept Jesus as Saviour, or suffer the consequences of sin forever.

Answer 5

Personally, I've found the NT doesn't make any sense without the OT. I'm not an expert, but I'd read it cover to cover.

Answer 6

No, and that i did not ought to study the Koran, the e book of Mormon, the Iliad, the Odyssey, or the Bhagavad Gita conceal to conceal both. I basically had to hearken to what the believers say and understand that they had no information to diminish back them up, when you consider that those books are making the same assertions they do with the same volume of information. It does not count number number what Abraham, Aristotle, Moses or Fred Bloggs worshiped, The information for all gods is an same. None in any respect. And that is going for something of their assertions which includes souls, sin, salvation and all something.

Answer 7

U may, best with someone from the church for guide.

Answer 8

I myself haven't read the whole Bible, but I attend church and my Pastor goes in order through the Bible, he picks up where he left off the time before and I have found it the easiest way to read it. You don't lose track and get lost as easy that way.

Answer 9

When I first became a Christian, I read the New Testament first, but made sure I read the Old too.

Answer 10

Read Luke (get an overview), then John (get some spiritual understanding), then start from Genesis straight thru' to Revelation.
