Retrieve Holy Bible: The New King James Version Executed By Anonymous Presented As File

a lot of mixed messages in this book, The author seems confused. I started reading the Bible as soon as i could read, which was before kindergarten, My mother started me reading a few verses a day, then a chapter, and the more times i went through it the more i wanted to read it.
I've lost count of how many times i've read it cover to cover, . . it's the living Word of God, relevant to today in a way that many people don't realize because they don't study it instead, they pick through what they like and don't like.
Don't do that read it and be open to what God is saying to you, even if it feels like it's tearing your heart out.
The heart of God is to teach you to have a heart for Him, In order to grow in a relationship with the Creator of the Universe, you need to be reading it, even if u get stuck in Leviticus.
:P Keep going! Cute book of fairy tales that people take way too seriously and try to shove down others' throats.
Honestly, I've ready better stories, I pray that God gives me revelation so that I can fully understand the book of Revelations I read this bookchapter a day, from Gen.
Rev.amp I will NEVER get thoseyears back, What a waste of time, . .

It's a shame that people worship a childish amp jealous, psychopathic murderer,

The psychosis of Abraham is a horrible malfunction of common sense amp rational, . . IT'S PATHETIC. What kind of man would be willing to kill his own son at the

request of an invisible being Is that what is required of you from your god That's the father of Judaism, Christianity amp Islam.
They are all so proud of this man, But, what would people think of somebody like that today This book had interesting stories, but it was obviously written and edited by committee: multiple authors within different time periods, some quite talented, others with almost sinister agendas.
It was most likely written by nobles for Kings since they were the only ones literate enough to write these many's of years ago.


And considering the language used throughout, Lord, Kingdom, it was obvious the last edition was heavily tainted in Feudalism.


Generally, this book was disjointed and obtuse, with some heartwarming suggestions spattered about but mostly incoherent tales of lore, so sporadic and nonsensical that it was nearly impossible to enjoy.
Being raised Pentecostal, it was helpful to learn WHY I believed certain things, I also learned to throw out things that I was just taught out of tradition, As my husband says, "Eat the meat and throw away the bones, " I also love the Word Wealth sections that give the Greek and Hebrew roots of words.
Once you get started inductively delving into it, it is hard to just do "surface" reading anymore.
full of contradictions, plot holes, misogyny, genocide, infanticide, bad history and bad science,
this book should come with a warning label, definitely not for kids. If there is only one book you read in your life, make it this one, It contains the actual history of the world, not what modern scientists would have us believe.
Man is lost in sin and we will all answer for the sins we commit in this life.
However, there is hope for us, God's only begotten son, Jesus Christ, came to earthyears ago, lived the perfect, sinless life, and willingly let himself be crucified by those who opposed him.
He gave his life as a perfect sacrifice to atone for the sins of the world so that we need not suffer in eternity for the sins we commit in this life.
The Bible tells us how we can find this salvation, gives us God's expectations for how we should live our lives, and tells us how we can spend forever with our God and with our savior Jesus Christ in Heaven and avoid the torment and agony that awaits us in Hell if we fail to follow Him and put Him first in our lives.
It is better than any selfhelp book man has written or will ever write, If you disagree with me, I pray that you will read it for yourself and will change your mind.
It can change your life, Please let it. Out of all the minutes in a day, how many do you devote to God

NOTE TO FRIENDS: I UPDATE THIS ROUTINELY FOR MY PERSONAL RECORDKEEPING, NOT TO APPEAR AS HOLIERTHANTHOU!
I just finished the book of Matthew, and now I'm going to start it right over again since it contains so much, particularly the life and words of my Savior.
It's funny when rereading passages that I have read numerous times, how I find new information that I overlooked in the past.
With this reading of Matthew I noted especially:James and John the sons of Zebedee did not ask to sit at Jesus' right and left hand in heaven, their MOTHER asked that for themAt Jesus' resurrection, when the temple veil was torn and graves opened, many of the dead saints were raised, went into Jerusalem, and appeared to manyIt wasn't Roman soldiers as is so often pictured who guarded Jesus' tomb after His crucifixion it was Jewish temple guards!

I have read the "Living Bible" version through twice and for quite a while I have been rereading the "New King James," one book at a time.
The version I am using now is Max Lucado's "Inspirational Study Bible," with notations and readings for each book.
This will be a permanent book on my current reading list, I try to read at least one chapter per day, in addition to the daily lesson from my Sunday School book.


Started early in the year, perhaps in January,, I think this is my fourth reading of the Bible all the way through, not third.

So far as of, have read Genesistimes, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua so exciting and factfilled that I read it a second time, Judges, Ruthtimes, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kingstimes, I Chronicles whew!, II Chronicles, Ezra, Habakkuk, Isaiahtimes, Jeremiah, Esthertimes, PsalmsI finally finished reading allof them!, Proverbs, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Danieltimes, Hosea, Joeltimes, Amos, Obadiah, Jonahtimes, Micah, Job, Nahumtimes, I JohnOur pastor challenged the congregation to read Luke through Revelation by July, about/chapters a day Matthewtimes, Mark, Luke, Johntimes, Actstimes, Romans, I Corinthians, II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippianstimes, Colossianstimes, I Thessalonianstimes, II Thessalonianstimes, I Timothytimes, II Timothytimes, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, Jamestimes, I Petertimes, II Peter, I John, II John, III John, Jude, Revelation Finally finished! It took me just over two months instead of one to complete the New Testament.
I had to take my time STUDYING Revelation, rather than just reading it, I and II Thessalonians for a Bible study class, for which we were also required to WRITE OUT both books in their entirety, James, I Peter, II Peter, I John, II John, III John.

Just finished a study of the book of Daniel, For anyone interested in Bible prophecy, there is a short, FREE correspondence course on the books of Daniel and Revelation, offered by Voice of Prophecy,Waterleaf Court, Greensboro, NC.
I ordered mine from Discover Bible School, P, O. Box, Tellico Plains, TN. The lessons are short pamphlets with simple T/F answer sheets that can be returned in the selfaddressed and stamped envelopes provided and then the next two lessons will be mailed to you.
The study is nondenominational, absolutely biblical, and they haven't asked me for one cent nor for anything in return.
Lessons are wellwritten and very interesting, providing much light on difficult biblical passages and historical facts.
I give them five! With possibly one of the strongest opening lines in history, the Holy Bible really starts off swinging.
Here we're not only introduced to the main character, named God, but are also informed that he's some sort of magical being whether that's a vampire or a wizard or something, we don't know yetwe just know he can fly and shoot laser beams.
The prose in this section is simply top notch, and you'll find that the action, atmosphere and language of the Holy Bible are carried off with a master's touch.
But accompanying this impressive show of skill is also one of the Holy Bible's greatest flaws: Verbosity.
One of the first things they teach you in any writer's workshop is that every word in a novel should be integral to the story never leave anything in that doesn't absolutely need to be there.
So, while we as readers start the book all sweeping through demons and darkness like Ronnie James Diorocking out and firing lightbeams and building people out of dirtit all quickly gets bogged down in unnecessary detail.


As readers we're enthralled by the mystic action wondering exactly what kind of creature this God is, why he has these powers and what on earth he's going to do with them, and then all of a sudden we're pulled out of the action and forced to sit idly while the author describes an entire week day by day in God's life.
I mean, that's great and all that we're getting some backstory on his character, but honestly, what happened with paragliding through Hell I don't really care what your Wednesdays are like, or on which days you like to restget back to the action! Jesus, if we wanted to hear about your day, we would read your LiveJournal, almighty.


Due to the presence of these tangents, a lot of readers won't stick around for the meat of the story, and that would certainly be a shame because once it gets going, it really is one of the most exciting reads around just to give you an idea of how good it is, the book has apparently gathered such an intense fanbase that some people give it away for free on the streets!.
The first half of the book, called the Old Testament, is really more about getting a feel for the setting than it is advancing the story.
During this time we get a glimpse of God's troubled past and are witness to a few key events that really allow the depth of the character to shine through he's kind of a dark antihero quick tempered and sometimes spitefulbut much like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, he actually has a heart of gold deep down.


The author takes this setup time to explore the world thoroughly, But while even supporting characters are given their moment to shine, sometimes that gets distracting, For example, during Moses' adventures, we come to relate to him as a troubled sort of everyman.
Sure, he was adopted by royalty, but he never really became complacent, He saw the mistreatment and suffering of the people around him, and he was moved into taking action.
All good so far, right It's kind of like Footloose or a Bruce Springsteen song: It's all about the plight of the working man.
And honestly, who exemplifies the working man more than slaves All they do is work!

It's a simple little story of class conflict and redemption, and then, almost without warning, everything suddenly gets magical: Oceans are parted, flaming shrubbery starts yelling at dudes and, in what is one of many disturbingly phallic metaphors littered throughout the book, Moses and the Pharaoh's magicians start slinging about their "snakes" and "staffs" to see whose is bigger.
It's all quite exciting and imaginative, but it feels kind of like a bait and switch: We came into Moses' story reading The Grapes of Wrath, then wham! Moses finds out he's a Jew and shit goes totally Harry Potter.


After what seems likeyears, the Holy Bible finally finishes the setup phase and launches us into the main tale, where we meet our central character for the first time.
. . even though it's still God, Sort of. It gets a little confusing, frankly: Our protagonist, God, is somehow also a character named Jesus Christ, who is the son of God and.
. . listen, it's never quite clear what the genealogy is, or how God is his own son or anything and what's up with the ghost but a lot of the setup just has to be taken on faith.
Now, the character of Jesus may not be the most original creation he's kind of amalgam of three other prominent protagonists: The "awakened man" complex, like Neo from the Matrix a bit of Superman's down home heroics and an oddly compelling dash of Timothy Leary's "freaking out the squares" mentality but he's oddly endearing nonetheless.


Really, there are only a few criticisms I have: The sections where the author obviously forces their own political agenda into the story are rather distracting at one point the whole story grinds to a halt so the Jesus character can give some sort of "sermon" on this "mount"like thing that is little more than liberal propaganda extolling the benefits of a welfare state and at times it seems like it could've used an editor with a heavier handpages long! Who do you think you are, David Foster Wallace.
I must say that overall, the Holy Bible is a story everybody should read at least once.
Just keep in mind that though this may seem like your run of the mill fantasy adventure, there are a myriad of vicious maulings, explicit torture scenes, rape and prostitution, so it's definitely not for children!

Oh, and though there are some hints of a sequel a Second Coming is mentioned a few times, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were youno official deals have been signed at this time.
