Bible Question (short): Ways to Study the bible? |
Question (full): Dear Hank, Thank you again. With your words I can tell you are very well read. I have enjoyed reading anything that you write to me. I learn from every note you send. I have but another question concerning the Old Testament. I am not known to read the books in the order they are presented in the Holy Bible, I tend to move around from book to book. I am reading the Genesis Again for I have read Genesis many times, I have trouble getting through the all the judges and kings books like numbers, and others. I tend to read the short books while I am reading the others to break up things for me, and I am reading the book of Luke as well. I feel out of touch with the New Testament if I stay in the Old only. I by no means want to come across as one who is singing any praise of my own when I tell you I study about 8 hours aday I have always been a hard studier, I am enrolled in 7 Bible Studies through postal mail from all over. the 8 hours I study are my own personal studies of Gods word. You might would think wow I would be a well read person myself but I am not. I study to know God's word and I study to teach my children what I know. Back to the point my question is, Is it better to read the Old in the order they are in the Bible or moving from books to books is the right thing to do? I do know that some of them seem to tie together but others read as their own book in itself. I have been told that you can read to much of the Bible, but I feel that as long as you are grasping what you are reading theres no such thing as reading to much and getting to know Gods Word. What do you think about this? Thank you for taking your time for your inspiring words, and wisdom you have shared with me. God Bless You.. |
