ngkh - On not feeling the need to memorize Scripture: Apparently the Psalmist saw the need when he wrote, "Your word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against You." Obviously Jesus had committed Scripture to memory, as evidenced by the many times He quoted it. He quoted from Deuteronomy in response to each of the three temptations Satan placed before Him (Read from Matthew 4:1-11). The apostles quoted from Scripture numerous times. It is enlightening to comb through the New Testament with a view to marking the number of times the writers do quote from the Old Testament Scriptures. If Jesus and His disciples felt a need to "hide the word in their hearts" -- and it is clearly evident that they did -- then who are we to say that we feel no need to do likewise? To my way of thinking, there are two chief things that would keep a Christian from committing portions of God's word to memory, apathy or mental sloth, or possibly both. --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Perhaps I phrased it wrongly. I know the scriptures or at least some of it. If not, I would not have been able share the scriptures to back my understanding. That did not come by trying to memorize by hard. That came from understanding them. Just that I do not memorize to quote which book which chapter which verse number the scriptures comes from. That I relied on search engine. |

Well, one does have to concede that Peter, Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were at a distinct disadvantage: Having no search engine, they were forced to use their brains! -:) --Hank | ||||||
