Subject: I just started reading the Bible and.... |
Bible Note: Pete, May I interject here? I think I may see part of the problem. You've just finished in the last day or two reading Matthew, you're finishing up with Luke and expect to be through John by morning? That's like eating a New York cream cheese cake in one sitting (my all-time favorite food). I'm gonna be a mighty sick puppy and then be all hungry again. You're reading far too fast. Slow down. Let your spirit digest what you're taking in. Go back to Matthew, read a few chapters, and find a few on-line commentaries and read those and then let your mind and spirit mull all that over before continuing with a few more chapters the next day. Follow the references that your bible affords you, those take you to other places in the bible that covers the same idea, or where words are used in like manner. If you slow down, you may find it's much easier to understand. Seriously, give Matthew about a week's worth of attention before moving on. Give it a try and see if that doesn't help? Shalom :o) Cheri |
