one of the ways to learn about God is to read the bible, but to me the bible is kinda the most untouchable book around the house. sorry about that. i really would like to try to read the bible but its really rather dry and boring. to make it worse, the print is so fine that it makes reading it a chore. im not trying to flame anything but seriously, how do you christians read the bible? can anyone tell me how to get interested in the bible. people have told me to start reading from the new testament onwards but my interest starts to wane away once i get started and i end up throwing the bible to one side and not touching it for months.

read the revelations and the old testament. new testament more of teachings. old testament more of action pack stories.

It justs shows that u have no heart and will to embrace the religion now. One cannot expect all religions to be preached in a vibrant manner like certain churches in S'pore.

The bible is a book of wisdom. To others, it may seem utterly boring but if one really puts heart, soul and sincerity into reading it, it can be enlightening.

My $0.02 worth. Do show the bible more respect as it bears the word of God.

Just a couple of questions my friend. have you read it with the intention of applying it in daily life? Have u trusted in Christ Jesus alone for salvation?

read it with the intention of applying it in your life. The Bible is a boring book if it is all lodged in the head and not lived out.

The Bible is a boring book if you do not have the dynamic life of Christ indwelling in you.

Or if you have Christ in you, the hope of glory, are you in fellowship with Him?
Has some unconfessed sin gotten in the way between you and HIm?

NT2 SG

nowadays got those funky kind....ESV, TNIV Bibles mah....there is even one kind tt looks like magazine. can be bought from SKS warehouse.

the impt thing is ur hunger for God's word, the cover may appear dull after a while, the prints may be too small as u age but the thirst must always be there.

alright sorry about that. i was just speaking my mind. its not that i have no heart to embrace the religion but the thing is, one has to get started on it first right. another thing, i find the bible very difficult to understand, maybe my english is that bad, so that should be another contributing factor

jaydunkfull SG

i read it with the intention to get started to knowing more about christianity. i dont know how to apply it to daily life since i find it rather difficult to comprehend in the first place. and yes, youre right, i do not have the dynamic life of christ in me, at least not yet, im sure. i thought reading the bible would be one of the first steps to getting started on the discovery of this journey

NT2 SG

NT2 SG

Ironside SG

along with NT2's recommendation, can i direct you also to read the book of John since you want to know more about Christianity, then i would recommend you to know about Christ Himself. Read John

I prayed for you Smile
