I read the Bible yes. As a christian the bible is not just the " logos" the constant written word,it is " rhema' the instant spoken word. "All scripture is God breathed and is profitable for teaching for conviction for correction for instruction in righteousness" (2Tim 3:16)
The bible is not a mere book just for believes to read and get knowledge. It is our spirit's food and daily supply.. Its the manna that sustains us day by day as we journey through this " wilderness"
The word is not just our food, its our water of life to quench our thirst.
In it we have the breath of God breathing back life and vitality for us to go on into us. The word can store richly in us when we memorize it. This indwelling word is what God' speaks back as " rhema' into our being. The word also sanctifies us and guards our hearts and thoughts. It inoculates us against all the lies of the devil. The word is our foundation upon which we build our lives. I tell u my friend... the word is eternal and inexhaustible and we need to store as much up into our being everyday. I eat physically three times a day and likewise i need to supply my spiritual man with the word three times a day to grow and mature in the christian life in a healthy and normal way.

" feeding by reading and drinking by prayer"

I had to study it in my childhood school, I had to attend church 3 times a week and have it read to me, and I once read it from cover to cover.

The bible is probably one of the biggest reasons I'm an atheist, if you actually read all of it and don't pick and choose your passages you see just how horrible a book it is.

I've been reading it not because I believe it, but rather for my own edification, since it is an important piece of ancient literature, and it is important to so many people in the society in which I live. So far I've read Genesis and Luke, and I'm working my way through Isaiah.

I often refer to it, usually while or after watching documentaries of biblical accounts from a historical perspective. Last thing I looked up was the story of Noah's Ark to see if it says that the whole world was flooded which would be impossible. It says that all of man and beast was destroyed except what was on the ark. I guess it does suggest the whole world.

Rarely recently. Should read it more often, good food for the soul to be had in there. Always feel at rest after reading it too.
