How often do you read Leviticus?

[Godlovesmetwo]

And other parts of the Bible which seem irrelevant to your faith journey. I just want some people to admit that parts of the Bible don't need to be read. We can just skip them.

Yes, Leviticus is at the top of that list.

I read it once in it's entirety. Only use it for reference now.

Well, right after Revelation.

 

[EpiscipalMe]

The entire Bible is worth reading at least once. I wouldn't spend too much time pondering Leviticus, though.

 

[Godlovesmetwo]

And those people who claim to have read the Bible from cover to cover. Did you read every single verse? And seriously absorb its content?

 

[HoleyHermit]

I read everything. NT straight through several times, then I do once through the OT. I glance though fairly quickly when it's a giant geneology or a census.

I don't claim to but I'm trying. I only made it to Judges on my last attempt and am starting over.

Exactly. So those who claim to have read the Bible. I just wonder how much they actually skimmed or skipped completely.

I can honestly say that I have read every single word. I use to read through the Bible annually, but rarely do so now. I think I had a harder time with when the Bible would list lineage and give name after name after name. But, I think it is important and tells you that God is a God of order. Even when the Israelites were traveling across the wilderness God put them in a certain marching order when they would leave camp and set up.

I can honestly say that I have read every single word.

I salute you for your diligence, patience and faith. But I cant emulate your feats.

 

[HoleyHermit]

If one skips it completely, one will miss some interesting little tidbits. I'm not going to read so deeply that I remember who was a mighty man of valor but did not attain to the thirty or how many sons of Asaph were singing in the temple. My dedication knows some bounds.

By grace I have read the bible hours daily for over eleven years
It never gets tiresome, it always edifies.
Leviticus , I don't read as much as new test .
I have found by grace , the law does not earn us a thing
and in fact if justify ourselves by it.............WELL we cant
for all have sinned , the law shows us that. When at first I was reading
as I kept reading , I came to the real serious , deep truth that oh dear
I need A savoir from my own evil works, for all I ever did APART from Christ
was break the law , and about all of it , many times.
BUT I have found that since crying unto the LORD those many years
ago.........HE HEARD.........and he changed me .
the law , never will I justify myself by it. I cant ,
for by the law I stand guilty before GOD ,
but I by grace sure don't transgress it now. HIS SPIRIT is real.
Just following it , we wont fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
I do use the law, but not as a means of justification or earning
but rather for correction if one is in error. You know like the apostels did
they corrected those in error by guoating it, yet never used to jusifty themselves.
THE holy scrips sure do make one WISE unto salvation through faith in Christ.
the law is holy righteous and good, but never used to earn salvation.
BUT it sure is on the heart if JESUS dwells in us. to live , not to earn. BUT To just live it.
big difference.

Messiah is everywhere in Leviticus.

John 5:46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Hebrews 10:7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a]

Romans 10:4 Christ is the goal of the Law, which leads to righteousness for all who have faith in God.

This may sound strange to many
for I was not a jew........yet by grace I was put in Torah
and torah LED ME to CHRIST ..........I do know what pual meant.
see I was not raised in no church. and sadly for the churches sake
I say amen. For many use grace to transgress the law
THE LAW which if we have the HOLY GHOST is supposed to be ON our hearts
and n our minds. So many have no idea what I say. they truly do not.

 

[frienden thalord]

Grace don't teach us to transgress , omit or change the law.
Grace teaches us to live holy , righteous and godly.
The HOLY GHOST is witness, for it is written
in those days I will WRITE MY LAW upon their hearts and in their minds
I will be to them GOD and they will be my people.
I will DWELL IN THEM ...........
In Issiah it is witten.............I WILL MAGNIFY MY LAW
not omit , not omit. HE PUTS it on our hearts.

But these aren't quotes from Leviticus are they?

Indeed, they aren't quotes from Leviticus, but they are quotes that about Leviticus and other OT Scriptures.

No. I was raised as a Roman Catholic, so I have almost no knowledge of what's in the Old Testament. Apparently it's a prologue to the important stuff.
