Reading the Bible how often do you read it?

I do not read the Bible with any regularity or even frequency. I pick it up on an as needed basis. You, however, seem to be reading it enough for both of us Yes, the church that you belong to is very strongly in favor of regular Bible reading. The joy of it though is that they actually believe the words in it as opposed to your last "religion" which just used the Bible as they saw fit, truth be damned

I used to read the New King James version every day, but have slacked off recently. Most of the time, I start off in the morning with Proverbs, and then go to the Psalms. A very good way to gain insight into what the Bible is saying is to pray before you start to read and ask God to show you what He has for you today. I have often gained much wisdom and inspiration from reading just one or two scriptures after doing this. The New King James is most often recommended for easier reading. It is very close to the King James, but does not have all of the 'thou' references. Another good way to understand what the bible is saying is to get a New International Version, and compare the scriptures side by side. Ultimately, though, if you seek inspiration from god through the reading of His word, He will enlighten you as to what each scripture means in general and specifically in regards to your life.

Hi ShellyB, I read from the New King James Spirit Filled Life Bibleand find this is great and simple to read as it has interprtations of what is actually being said and questions and answers section to and also truth in action at the end of each section. I read daily as I receive a United Christain Broadcasting book every quarter calledThe Word 4 Today ajnd in it on each day is an inspirational peice of writinf and then at the bottom a section from the Bible for you to read, it means that by doing this daily you can read the whole Bible in a year each year. Wonderful. huggles. Ellie :D

I will surely not gonna lie but I just read the Bible once of twice I think thrice in my life.I am catholic and I have faith but was never reading it.My mom tells me about it and I listen.

WEll' I like to read it everyday. But it doesn't seem to happen. Just like right now. I havent read the bible today. I feel sad. But I know this is also my doing because I am just infront of the pc, trying to post responses and comments in mylot. *sigh* im disappointed with myself. I feel really guilty.

Actually I have never read the Bible. That is because I am not a Christian. Actually that is not the real reason. I was given a free Bible in my school.And I tried to to a casual read. But reading it proved to be very tough, so I left it. As I dont have any obligation to read it as I am not Christian. I have never since touched the book. It would be cool if someone wrote the bible in such a way that normal people can also read it.

I read bible when i like to reflect and read good passages which could have an effect to give me courage then meditate on it. After then i could be inspired by some quotation especially from psalm and King Solomon. They are wonderfully worded very meaningful and full of good morale story.

I try to read my Bible each day, I am currently reading through it, like it is a novel, from cover to cover. I used to just read bits and pieces here and there, as was suggested, and hardly every day, just a little while back I decided I was going to read the whole thing from cover to cover it seems to be going well. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Hello shelly, nope. never did after graduation, although i studied in a catholic school, it's only been oblige to me to read the bible if it's part of school work and activities, most specially retreats. but after that i stop reading it, am just not into reading and stuff, not everything, bible is one of the things i don't read but not because i don't like it, am just not into it. but i do go to church and hear mass that's from the bible.

For me reading the bible everyday 3-5 chapters you can finish it for one year and yo feel that Jehovah God will very near you.

I don't follow any religion so i don not read the bible. However I do have childrens book of bible stories that I read to my daughter sometimes.

before i read the bible a lot. because of my very busy schedule at work, i do not have the chance to read the bible again but i still participate during prayer time. if i have a problem or i doubt and i need an answer or solution to it,i just open the bible and whatever is written on the page i have chosen, it only means it is the answer to my questions.

i am hebrew. hebrew tongue is my main tongue and hebrew culture is my culture, passed down from generation to generation as the translations of hebrew scriptures called "the bible" speak. hebrew scriptures are more than just an excercise, and you cant read it like any novel. however i can tell you reading the english translations of hebrew scriptures is a hard thing...and as you say..people feel it is too hard to read so they come out with "easier" versions, not realizing they take away from what the hebrew scriptures have to say, not only in translating it, but also in translating it to be read by the common people. i tell you, without knowing the hebrew tongue, or hebrew culture, it will practically be impossible for anyone to understand the hebrew translations called "the bible". the best thing you can do is pray to the son of god....whose name is not english because he is hebrew, and english didnt exist then......and ask him to assist you with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. dont ask a man for the meanings of the scriptures...ask god..he will give you the true meanings..but the truth of hebrew scriptures is far from what the european nations teach about the hebrews. and note...the son of god never called his followers..."christians". put love in your heart, and open your mind without any preconceived ideas...follow the translations as close as possible, not trying to put an imperfect meaning on what a perfect god says. then you will be on your way to seeing the treasures hidden in the translations of hebrew scriptures....take everything to god, even before you take it to a pastor or preacher. am i wrong to tell you to take it to god?

reading the bible is the best thing a christian has to do .in my perception i think the bible should be the companion of the churistian shold be read read always to learn from your maker

I read from a very old King James Version. I read the bible everyday & like today I read my bible all day on my online show were we were having a very very deep bible study. We have a athiest who watches the show. The bible is a comfort for me, it is how I get by & it is my entertainment because sometimes the bible has me laughing. I just really enjoy the bible. I could not live without my bible. I know the King James is really hard for you to read but it really is for me the best in old english.
