Why Read the Bible

This may sound like an odd question when so many reject its message but its been with us for so long keeps prodding no matter our age God is its original divine author with His supernatural pen, He did write all these 66 books within are holy scripture everyone that's read it felt its bite So many say they don't believe it but have they actually seriously read this book penned from God's spirit tells all that God has said For this Bible brings transformation to all who believe its promises within all who are touched are not the same it tells how to kill off their sin History one day will reveal the purpose God planned before time that His own word is sufficient to meet everyone with perfect rhyme

Hello again, Gordon,! My old religion is mostly dogma, thus I never learned the Bible till 20 years ago. And was awake reading Scropture till 3 am last night. To the doubters? There is nothing to say but encourage others, Huggs, Pangie

The "Bible brings transformation." Yes, it does, and my heart rejoices knowing this truth. You must leave things in context, while studying, to truly understand what God is saying. This is both beautiful and inspiring, my dear friend. Your thoughts are so uplifting. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Excellent Gordon. We read to get to know who and what God is. The more you read the more you learn, the more you learn the more you know, the more you know the more you hunger to read more. It's pretty good stuff. Thanks for this. Going into my faves. And thanks so much for your prayer. We can use all we can get. God Bless, JB

Hey Gordon, it can be a difficult read without some good study notes that provide context for each book. Some stand alone pretty well, others are harder to penetrate. There is some amazing stuff in those pages to be sure! Good thoughts.
