Have you ever read the bible?

[myles]

if so has it inspired you in anyway or form?
and what are your fave quotes?

i have read it once but im thinking about reading it again.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I have read it once and have read many passages a few times in researching certain topics (mainly sexual morality). I've been planning to re-read again for a while actually, it's been a few years.

[Samantha]

I've read parts of it. I liked reading Psalms, but that was years ago.

[lawrawrrr]

read the kids version

and i refer to passages in my creative writing analyses & lit essays (to do with mythology/biblical imagery)

but literally zero interest otherwise

[FlyingJesus]

Yes probably more so than most Christians

[Northquake]

Got a free bible in school once, read a few pages of it, can't remember it much. was pretty cool story bro.

[wixard]

never, not really interested but i'll get around to it someday

[Jurv]

nope i'm not interested in religion

[karter]

i have tried reading it but i just cant
same with the quran but i have read the summarized versions of tripitaka and the gita (buddhist and hindu texts)

[Ardemax]

Read parts, mostly the key players like John and Mark.

[Red]

Yea, I've read parts and when I was 18 I planned to do the whole thing using this cover to cover book which if you follow it it takes a year but I quit at Job and then was busy with alevels. I deffo want to try again though.

[geo]

read some bits. doesn't really interest me much, only did it bc we got a free one and just thought i would try lol

[Empired]

I've read almost all of but I had to miss out Psalms because I just couldn't :( My favourite story by far was the one with Samson & Delilah

[FlyingJesus]

Psalms isn't all that important in terms of theology, it's mostly just David pissing around making phat beatz

[MKR&*42]

Nope.

[iBlueBox]

Yes I went to a catholic primary and high school and sixth form.

[Absently]

i've not read all of it, but i've read quite a bit of it.

[Zelda]

i've read small little tiny passages in r.e that we covered but thats it really have no interest in reading it at all and think it's really boring

[Yawn]

no too boring

[Sieglinde]

I tried honestly
I really did
but everytime
I fell asleep ;(

[Sho]

I've read some bits of it

[HC]

all I know is that Jesus handed out bread and fish... and turned water into wine! And Moses are put into a basket and put into a river! (Are these even in the bible or did I read them in a book at school when I was little lol)

Yeah, the Jesus bits are new testament and the Moses bits are old testament.

omg this sounds familiar to me for some reason
anyway ive looked through the front pages of the bible where it gives you specific pages to go to for depression, jealousy etc, then started reading through a bit n enjoyed it (im not religious) rly need to finish it sometime

[myles]

even if you are religious or not it is a really inspirational book that holds some very good messages about life

[Eoin247]

I read it every now and again. How else would i benefit from its inspirational words, such as:


Exodus 4: 24-26


On the journey, while they were encamped for the night, the Lord met Moses and would have killed him. But Zipporah picked up a sharp flint, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' privates with it, saying, "You are my bridegroom." So the Lord let Moses alone. It was on that occasion she said, "Blood bridegroom by circumcision!"

[Daltron]

BEHOLD, I WILL CORRUPT YOUR SEED, AND SPREAD DUNG UPON YOUR FACES, EVEN THE DUNG OF YOUR SOLEMN FEASTS; AND ONE SHALL TAKE YOU AWAY WITH IT.
