How many times have you read the bible?

[Jephunneh]

36 Times through to John Ch.10

 

[l33tace]

More than 5 and less than 21 times. I lost count maybe 15 years ago. I know I've read the NT many more times that the OT for most parts.

Peace

 

[Jephunneh]

38, from cover to cover, all by Gods grace and for His glory!

 

[DeputyDan]

NIV
KJV
Living (Twice)
Scofield

Just to see the differences....

 

[slightlypuzzled]

I think only 3x's straight through, but large sections of it much more than 5.
I have read it through in the NIV, JB and NEB. Have read the NT in Phillips, Ernst Cassirier's translation, and The Message.

 

[littleman]

I have read the Bible a lot of times but, I have yet to read it the whole way through....I'm actually working on that right now .

 

[Speaker-Of-Truth]

ive got like 100 more pages till i finish it the first time

 

[kimjp]

I've been a Christian for a year and a half. I'm about half way through it for the second time. It's exciting because I am picking up so much more than I did the first time. I can't wait to finish so I can read it again and see what I missed the first two times. ha!

 

[Chakotay2]

I've read it through once. But since I've been in church most of my life, I'm sure I've made it through at least twice by hearing the scripture in sermons, Sunday School, etc.

 

[ngkingchi]

only about thrice because I'm only13 years old! others have years and years more time to read

 

[bop1997]

I couldn't vote because I haven't read the bibile cover to cover but I read everyday!

 

[adelpit346]

Thousands, Thousands and Thousands.

[Konnie]

Finish more than 5 times!

 

[Snowy]

I'm working on reading the whole thing for the first time

 

[BIGJOSHDOGG]

i'm trying to read the whole thing, starting from matt.

 

[GodBoy809]

i havent read the whole bible yet, i lack a few books in the old testament.

 

[Globexgirl]

I have read all of the new testament, because as a new Christian it's better to read the new testament first. Anyway, I read that with my first bible, "The Message" I recommend that to young Christians new to it all. It's really easy to read and understand. And I got a full bible, old and new testament from this event I went too, but I brought that bible to my church and when I left I couldn't find it anywhere! I think somebody brought it home, thinking it was there! *mental notee, write NAME in bible*

 

[sistersoandso]

I have never read the Bible from cover to cover. I have read the old Bible stories, and at Church, I read there, too. I feel intimidated by the writings by Paul , whom I question and who seems to be what I call legalistic . John is good to read, along with James and Peter. Peter and I would have gotten along quite well.

I do believe the words of Christ .

The Old Testament was for when mankind lived under the Law. The New Testament (with the possible exception of Paul) is for us today, under Grace and the precious blood of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Revelations is for those with deeply religious backgrounds and those who understand symbolism .

So there you have it. What I understand about the Bible. I'm interested in learning a lot more.

 

[BarbB]

I am still on my first time! At the time I was saved I was working on the OT and am still fascinated by the way that the NT is the result of the OT and the OT is the prophecy of the NT. Then the gospels and some of the letters. I bounce around depending upon inspiration and whatever Bible study I'm doing. I love it all and should just sit down and finish it through. Again and again and again!

 

[mesue]

I was reading the Bible as a book and came to know Christ as my Savior. I love my Bible. I try to read it every day. Right now I am reading "My Utmost for His Highest" with my Bible.
