Yes they do. It's part of a package of food and warm clothes.Do the homeless people accept the Bible when you give it to them?
Hi, I understand how important it is to read scripture everyday but I am beginning to fear that I am growing tired of reading it. It feels kind of boring and repetitive and I really hate to feel that way about it.
Any advice?
I think you mean, "Bored again"Are you born again?
Read the Hebrew Bible. Learn the meaning of the words. You could spend your whole life just to study and learn the meaning of one word in the Bible. Like the very first word in the Bible: Beginning. There is no beginning for God, He is the alpha and the omega and he knows the end from the beginning. In the beginning of the Bible we have the beginning of Creation. Notice how beginning starts with a B and Creation starts with a C. Why would the Bible start with the second letter in the alphabet? Because 0 & 1 are the code for the computer or the genetic code. Off and on switches.
The third word in the Bible is God or Elohim. The Hebrew people believe the name of God is to holy to say out loud. So we know in the beginning of creation was God, He was in the beginning and He was the beginning. John 1 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This is why they say the Hebrew language is the language God uses to create the universe. Some people say that DNA is the language of God and the language that God uses to create life.
Do we understand these first three words in the Bible? Not really but it is clear that the rest of the Bible explains the meaning of these words to us so we can lean about God and His creation.
I am talking about the Hebrew Bible, not the translation.Last time I read the bible it started, "In the beginning God..." God is the fourth word and beginning is the third.

I mostly use Biblehub dot com. Then I click on the link that says Hebrew. That way I can look at the original Hebrew word and I can look at the different verses that word is used in or the different words they use to translate that word into English. When I am searching for a verse I have to type in Bible anyways. So it is no big deal to type in Biblehub so I go to that web site to study the Bible.Sorry, I don't read the Hebrew Bible as I'm not Hebrew preferring to read from English translations as I'm American and prefer my vernacular.

I don't know. All I know is that I love Christ!Are you born again?
I went out to my town to talk to some homeless people and I don't know, most of them I felt like I did not care. I would be talking to them and it just goes out of the ear. Did meet this one guy who is great though, he said used to follow God and I could tell.Yes they do. It's part of a package of food and warm clothes.
I avoid giving them money as many have addiction problems.
They wear out pretty quick. The most you can read the Bible is twice before you have to replace it. The computer is a lot faster to look up all the scriptures that use the same Hebrew word if you want to study the context for the meaning of a word. It is more than annoying when the pages start to fall out.I'm not much of a digital bible reader preferring paper and ink.
I've been getting used theology books and find it amazing that some of the best books on methology of interpretation are having to be taped together to be able to read again.They wear out pretty quick.

I ask because it is very important to understand that unless you are born again, you will not possess the Spirit. The Spirit is what you must have in order to discern the scriptures. The Spirit also loves the word which contains the revelation of Jesus the Christ. So when I hear someone say that they find reading the bible boring I wonder two things; 1 – are they born again and 2 – if they are born again, what is it that is quenching the Spirit from flowing in this area?I don't know. All I know is that I love Christ!
