Memorization doesn't mean much if you keep it on the surface of the brain and never let it into the depths of your soul. Your brain is the size of a single cell compared to the vastness of God's mind. Shall you try to comprehend? It is better to "parrot" God's word than to speak your own infant babble.

God loves you. Everyone else thinks you're an asshole. That said,
Many, many years ago I lost several loved ones and all of my pets, some relatives, some friends in a car accident, my fianee to a heart attack, and my daughter to a failed heart transplant. All in the span of three weeks.
I had a nervous breakdown, trying to process all the loss at one time. As a result, my memory was severely impaired. A person does not have to memorize the Bible like a parrot; When you receive the Holy Spirit, you receive wisdom and the ability to understand the Word of God, so that you have a working knowledge of the plan of God. If I need to know a specific verse, I look it up. plain and simple. Today, just over 35 years later, I am studied in the original manuscripts, and all three Bible languages. This parrot, sir, could spin your little head around with what knowledge I have of the Word, and not only me, but several of the deeper students of the Word on this forum. Is that why you are afraid to ask real questions? Will your stupidity show?
Your insults are doing nothing to harm anyone except yourself. You definitely have the mark.

Well I don't know what you mean by this, you must admit your question seems a bit peculiar, but if I am supposed to take you seriously (especially with the name "666") then I would say you're not meant to memorize the Bible. The Bible is something you live by, it offers advice, the Word of God, and other testimonies and experiences that you would like to hear about. You can read it, take it in, turn to it and God when you need guidance, it is not necessary to memorize the whole thing word by word. I don't know if you're mocking Christians, but I hope I helped. God bless you, I'll pray for you, pray that you find the answers you seek. Pray to God if you need guidance, if you're searching for an answer. Take care.

Memorizing the Bible is better than lying about its contents because you never read it.

You don't want to memorize the Bible. You want to understand it. Learn from it. Apply it to your life and live according to it, and you shall be blessed for it. Praise the Lord!

Let's see. It's not a sentence. It's not a question. What is it? Could it be a pathetic attempt to insult somebody?

Read a verse over and over until you can say it without really thinking about it.
