Highlighting the Bible

[font=&quot]What Colors do you use when highlighting stuff in the bible? Some use Yellow as favorite verse Green for money Orange for major Prophets…[/font]

Only yellow for me... and I do it sparingly... some people have their Bibles so highlighted, very little of it is not!

I circle the verse numbers that correspond to the key verses I may want to refer to in the future.

I bracket verses in pen. I also write in the margins. I tend to not use highlighter because it usually shows through to the other page.

I use pencil because it isn't all that distracting, but can find verses when needed. However my husband won't mark in his at all, I think everyone has different ways of study.

I use a special highlighter for Bibles. It doesn't show through. It is more like a light crayon in pencil form than a real highlighter.

I write around the text too.

I use pencil, in case I change the wording...as time goes by it seems words can be inadequate on first study, and then I think of the right one later one. Then I can change it.

Same here, about the pencil. My hubbie won't mark in his either. Perhaps they can remember everything to take note of? My memory is too poor.

Hey Sapphyre,

I'm one of those 'won't mark their Bible's' guys. I haven't thought about it too much, but I have a few reasons for it. One, I don't know, I kinda feel the Bible is a pretty special text, so I feel strange writing on it (don't know why; most people I know write on their Bibles). Second thing, I find that when there are notes, you tend to skip over verses I guess, or make assumptions about the meaning of verses. I think we all go through a bit of a 'journey' in understand the Bible, and can change our mind about different issues. I know if I highlighted my Bible, there'd be about as many crossed out writing than actual notes! I guess it just helps meto start with a clean slate when I read, can get something more from the same verse

Peace,
Alchemist

P.S. My memory isn't the best either! I will usually take notes in a notebook if I am planning to take notes in a sermon.

I usually underline and/or write notes in the margin. I do have a highlighter, but don't color code anything.

Ive found after 4 years in advanced math (no dont worry im staying on topic ) ive learned im a very visual learner.Geometry was always my best fiels becuase i could see what i was talking about. i need to be able to understand by what i see. I highlight, underline, squiggly line, write in margins, put bookmarks, write in notebooks, shove notes in the pages whatever i have to do to mine, I have a few bibles i use for study... my nkjv is the one with all the additional stuff , but i like to use atleast two translations, my pink bible i would NEVER write in!! hehe.

I remember so much just by the color and mood and understanding i was in. I can think of a verse, then flick through the pages and find it very quickly because ill remember what book it was in and the color. i am not hesitant to mark out my nkjv because it works for me, and i am most comfortable with it.

I have come to the issue of thinking i know all i can by studying and writing straight into it, and overcome that very quickly, just by allowing God to reveal it to me by rereading it, and humbling myself first, reminding myself i know nothing
