I am reading the Holy Bible. I am still in the Old Testament. I should be done with the Old before Summer. It's not easy to understand the Bible you know. I do my best and thats what matters to God. Even if I have a hard time to understand the Old Testament I keep on going to show my Faith and Love in God. After I am done with the Bible I am reading now, I will purchase a differ Holy Bible and start all over again. Its good to get an insight in different religion Bibles. I am bound to find the one that makes it easier for me to comprehend. Do you all think that's a good idea?

The Pauline Epistles (Romans through
Philemon) are the doctrinal foundation for the present Church Age, written by the apostle to the Gentiles, and I believe in a moderate dispensational division of the scriptures as a basis of study when encountering verses that appear to contradict these doctrines. Romans 11:13, 15:15-16; 2 Timothy 2:15.

Paul quotes the Old Testament more than any other writer esp. in Hebrews and Romans(yes,he wrote Hebrews).The Old Test. is based on the Law of Moses ,rigid and practically unforgiving showing us we can't do it by ourselves,it's too difficult.It shows we need a Savior,someone to stand in for us.Whereas the New Testament is based on grace through faith in what Jesus did on the cross.He is the one who came to stand in for us.Jesus was a law adiding orthodox Jew who kept the Law perfectly.It was man's additions to the laws that Jesus fought against.I know Paul has it right all the way.How we are free from that law because the Law died on the cross.Now we are free in Christ to walk by the Spirit not by the Law.

Both OT and NT. the old testament is a mirror that allows us to see ourselves in the lives of OT characters and helps us learn from their lives. it sheds so much light on who God is and the wonders he has made and the salvation he has wrought. it shares so much comfort to those in persecution or trouble [psalms especially]. it reveals through repeatedly fulfilled prophecy why the bible is unique among holy books. hope this helped.

Both OT and NT center on Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In the OT, the foretelling of the coming messiah. In ther NT, the fulfilling of that prophecy, and instruction on how to allow Christ to live through you. Even the teachings of Paul.

For the first 1500 years of the religion, the answer would be "no".. if you just used the first three words of your question..

Anyone who studies the Bible in great detail is in danger of becoming an atheist, or at least not liking the fascist nervous-wreck Bible god.
