••••THE HOLY BIBLE...HOW MUCH IS REALLY NEEDED?....••••





????---SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY DENOMINATIONS AND BELIEFS, HOW MUCH OF THE HOLY BIBLE DO WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW AND BELIEVE?••••


•••HERE ARE YOUR INNER THOUGHTS•••





---from TIMOTHY...

I think there are some good reasons in having different versions of the Bible, as long as you realize that they are for helping you understand and not to use as THE REAL THING.
You have to be very careful about what you are reading and who wrote it.
I suggest you study up on the author or authors of an new version of the KING JAMES VERSION of the Bible, before jumping into it and believing it.....
Just don't get caught up in Man's opinion too much...Rely on God to speak to your heart through His Holy Word...


---from JANET...

MY OPINION ON THIS IS KEEP THE KING JAMES VERSION. READ IT UNTIL THE COPY YOU HAVE FALLS APART...THEN GET A NEW COPY....SOMETHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHILE YOU ARE READING...TALKING TO PEOPLE YOU REALLY TRUST OR GOD WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RELY ON OTHER PEOPLE PULLING ALL THE WORDS APART AND GIVING THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF HOW THEY THINK IT SHOULD BE.
THE BIBLE ITSELF SAYS, "ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR US TO BELIEVE.."

I AM QUOTING IT AND IT SAYS EVEN MORE IN THAT VERSE OR VERSES.
ANYWAY, YOU ARE DOING THE CLOSEST TO GOD'S WILL BY RELYING ON THE ORIGINAL HOLY BIBLE AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, NOTHING IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL...


---from BILLY...

I THINK SINCE THE MAJORITY OF US DO NOT READ THE BIBLE NEARLY ENOUGH.....WE SHOULD LISTEN TO THOSE WHO DO. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LAZY. BUT IN THE EARLY DAYS BEFORE THE ACTUAL BIBLE WAS WRITTEN, PEOPLE SIT AROUND IN LARGE GROUPS LISTENING TO MEN PREACH, TALK, DISCUSS, AND TELL ABOUT GOD'S PLANS FOR US.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT FINALLY SOMEONE JUST PUT IT ALL TOGETHER FOR CONVENIENCE SAKE AND TO SAVE TIME AND SAID...HERE IS THE HOLY BIBLE...READ IT YOURSELF. QUESTIONS??? FIND A WISE MAN AND HE WILL HELP YOU WITH THEM.
I DON'T KNOW ALOT BUT I KNOW ONE THING....YOU CAN READ THE HOLY BIBLE-REGULAR VERSION AND IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT....GOD WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
I DON'T THINK YOU WILL FIND A BETTER ONE TO HELP THAN HIM...


---from SHELLY...

I love reading the Bible. Even if I don't scholarly understand it all, I think God blesses me for the effort, which once I pick it up, I have trouble putting it down.
The Bible was not made to be a puzzle. It was written by God through spiritual giants to be given to the general public as a guidebook.
Why -- all of a sudden, would it appear so hard to understand to the people who should have more knowledge than any generation before?

We can do marvelous things with computers..Yet..We need someone to tell Us what God's Word really means.....I don't think so....


---from DANIEL...

I have a bunch of Bibles, I have several different versions of them. That doesn't mean I am going to know anymore than a person who has one of them Hotel Versions they have that the "GIDEONS" put out...Or one that the Mormons will give you FREE if you just ask for it...
The Bible is not hard to understand, unless you are not serious about it when you read it....You have to have a craving for God's knowledge to begin with and it will become clear to you....Especially the parts God wants YOU TO KNOW. That is what I think and I am sticking to it....


---from WAYNE...

I am gonna be brave and say....Do we really need a Bible anyway! Is there not enough people telling Us what is what!
To Me, it is like politics and you just pick a version you like and go with it and hope for the best.
You may not like my way of thinking but this is the good ole USA and I can say and feel the way I want to about almost anything.
You even have the right to print this of delete it....Don't matter to Me. I sent it and it is the way I really feel...


---from CANDY...

I am not the smartest person in the world. But from the preaching that I have heard, the stirring of my heart when I read the HOLY BIBLE, I don't have to be smart at first, but when God takes hold of things, all things are possible. He will see me through. He will bless me and He loves it when I praise Him and honor His word.
That is all that really matters...


---from Dianne...

I have the Holy Bible Version. I don't read it like I should. I don't get any other versions, I don't feel I need anymore since I don't really read the one I have enough.
After thinking about this INNER VIEW topic, I think I will start reading it more.
Maybe I will get back to you later....


---from Nan...

I love reading my Bible. I don't think there has ever been a question when I read. There have been questions when I hear man speak HIS words about what GOD said. All man that preach are not from GOD...so let the listener beware and the reading be the wiser...


---from Glenda...

I think the purpose of the Holy Bible is to talk to you through your reading of it. You can listen to all kinds of preachers and teachers and people who have their opinions on things about it, but the only way you find your OWN CHRISTIAN HEART is through the reading of the pages by yourself and crawl inside it, love it, praise God's name and place it into your heart as a guide lamp...
