1 | What Am I doing wrong? | Bible general Archive 3 | 2007 mouse | 187628 | ||
What am I doing wrong? As a fairly new Christian, I have enjoyed reading on this forum almost daily. I will say I have learned a lot BUT as I personally read through my Bible at home (daily), I find it very rewarding to LISTEN to God's word. I always pray and ask God for his guidance for ME to understand his word while I'm reading and I have found that although I may not totally understand what the chapter was all about after reading it, I do leave each day with the thoughts of that particular chapter that I had just read that morning playing over and over in my mind all through out the day and most of the time the meaning of that chapter or chapters comes to me like a full movie screen in front of my eyes. I know I'm not being too clear here but it's the best way I can type what I'm thinking. My question I guess is this.......why do we want to go into great study or detail of each verse and chapter of the Bible and study it??? Why can't we just read the Bible and let God do the rest, meaning, let the Holy Spirit fill our own minds with the understanding of what we are meant to know??? I sometimes feel totally overwhelmed with people's knowledge of the meaning of the Bible as they understand it. I think we as humans, sometimes make life more difficult than it needs to be by picking apart each and every verse and try in our human minds to interpret everything that we have read. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy reading on here but everytime I come up with a question on a particular part of the Bible, I just pray about it and leave it as that. Am I wrong to be so arrogant or do I really NEED to study the word in depth, like most of yous on here have and continue to do so? Sincerely, Mouse |

Amen, Mouse, Just keep on doing what you're doing. There is nothing wrong in it, if fact, there's everything right in it. The commentaries (for me anyway) are just to help clear up some questions that may arise. They are definitely not infallible; but they can be helpful. It sounds to me like you have very lovely days with God's Word ringing in your heart. Just keep on keeping on and you'll be just fine! blassings cheri |

Thanks Cheri!!! I was beginning to wonder how I would ever begin to become as knowledgeable as some are on this forum when it comes to knowing the Bible. I have been very blessed and have recieved with out a doubt miracles in my life but unfortunately until I became a Christian, I did not know about miracles or all the other many blessed things that have happened to me to get me to where I am today. I'm so overwhelmed with God's grace that I have decided to write a book about my salvation and I have now written 200 plus pages and continue to keep finding more to write about. I do not know if I will ever get this book published or not but when it is complete, I will get great satisfaction knowing that it could possibly save one person's life in its unpublished form. As the book when completed(soon), will be sent to many in prison and those living on the streets in North Carolina.(long story), Now I can't get enough of God's word and I feel like I need to know all I can, and this is coming from someone who never read books or had the desire to read anything before. My Motto...........I'm on FIRE for GOD!!! Mouse |
