Why We Should Read The Bible

I usually recommend starting with the New Testament because you will get so much more out of the Old Testament when you understand who Jesus is. Some of my favorite books in the bible, and good ones to start with are:

All four gospels, (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John especially John) Acts, Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, 1 and 2 Peter and the Psalms and Proverbs (But hey, they're all good!)

Read to understand, not to just read. Chew on each passage. If you come to something you don't understand, go look up what bible commentators have said in the past about that passage. A good place to do that is this website: http://bible.cc Basically just enter the passage into their search bar and then scroll to the bottom of the page, and you will find out what the scholars have to say about the passage your wondering about. 9 times out of 10 this will solve whatever question you have about it, and will help you to grow as you learn more and more about all the deep truth the bible has to offer.

I also use a free bible software program called E-sword when I do in depth studies. It has all kinds of free apps for commentators and other fun stuff. (I have included the software in this package as well)

This video was inspired by a commentary on Hebrews 4 by David Guzik.

I enjoyed this so much. I read some of the negative comments and realize they just have not been BORN AGAIN and, therefore, cannot appreciate this beautiful and very important encouraging video to read and study The Bible. Thank you and God bless you for taking time to create this very important video. I'm sharing this link with others who may need encouraging to read the Bible more. God bless you!

C'mon man.. Do people really still believe in the Bible?

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

Mathew 25:29.

and another thing, the bible is sharper than a two edged sword? This book can discern my thoughts and intents of my heart? It can divide my soul from my body? If I burn my Bible, can it still do these things? 66 books authorized by a man is the word of God?

john 1:14 And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. . . The Bible is a book, not the word of God. When was the word of God ever referred to as a book in the Bible? The spirit is the word. We shall live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You can see the Bible cover to cover, thats God's word? A Book? The Bible is a book about history, about people who had the word of God in them, the spirit, they never had bibles.Did Yahusha die to send a book?

OK so i read the bible and here is what i found

Num 31:17 "Now kill all the boys. And KILL every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves EVERY GIRL WHO HAS NEVER SLEPT WITH A MAN."

1Sam 15:3 "... Do not spare them; put to death men and women, CHILDREN and INFANTS..."

Isaiah 13:16 "...their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes."

Exodus 5 " I, the lord your god, am a jealous god."

Thank you for your enlightenment; and good day.
