1 | Which book in the Bible do I commence | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 141279 | ||
If I were to start afresh to read the bible or if a non believer wants to know about the bible which book shall I start to read 1st? Genesis in OT or Matthew in NT. I had so much "trouble" trying to stay at Genesis that I jumped to the 4 Gospels first and very much later tried Genesis again until I'm stuck at Chronicles. Jumped again to Acts - Galatians and then tried to go back to Chronicles. Am now reading other materials (books) that is subject based, scriptures are refered from the bible to support what was discussed. I find that I understand the scriptures better this way but its bits of pieces here and there. I don't see the chronological order except to where I had read in the bible. My Pastor wants us to at least read the bible cover to cover once. If I do so, I know I will just run thru without understanding the scriptures. What should I do? Reading postings in this forum also helped a lot. |

John is written that you might be saved. 1 John is written that you might know you are saved. They are great places to start. I concentrated on gospels/acts at first and later was blessed by Pauls letters. Many like Psalms/Proverbs as a place to start in the Old Testament. I love Genesis now, but it has been many years. Don't force yourself to read a book. You will enjoy the books that you are ready for. Greentwiga |
