didnt claim that, im not sure why you would draw that conclusion.
Okay. wrong conclusion. I mean no change other than a continuous desire to improve for the sake of reaching seeking and searching hearts for Christ.
i said that you seemed to be more patient when you had the jaywill tag. you seem a bit grumpy these days.
I'm uneven.
I may be terrible.
Don't wait for Mr. Perfect Christian to come by and tell you the good news.
Lots of Christians came my way before I accepted the Lord seriously.
None were perfect.
no need to explain your change of names. i didnt suggest that there was anything machiavellian about it. observing that it seemed to coincide with slight change in the way you post.
i dont mind you getting all sassy, we all do from time to time. i was just making the observation.
im always up for a game of chess.
Okay. I'll remember that.
Sorry to talk too much about myself.
Now, we were talking about the Lord Jesus ?!
Marvelous Lord and Savior He.

As for whether you should read it...why should you!? Why should anyone!?
If some sort of god or gods exist or existed then I say that for all notions of thing sourced either from scriptures, tribal elders, within, and so on... that they are all grossly deficient in their approximation to it.
The god associated with the Bible does not exist

If I wanted to follow Jesus, I would want to know what he really said. I would read many different books about him. I wouldn't just accept one version and dismiss all others.
It stands to reason that a name that commands influence can be twisted to the aims of the devious. The only defense is to gain information from a variety of sources.
Fi ...[text shortened]... yalty would be to what the man stood for, if it is just and honorable. I'm not loyal to books.

I have plenty of evidence...indeed I also have a proof your god does not exist! A proof that I have shown you twice, and on both occasions you were at a loss for words!
How come you're so forgetful?

Originally posted by e4chrisThere are easier books to read than others, proverbs is good, no doubt, Joshua is a good story to read as is the book of Acts, its quite pacey and you will see how dynamic Christianity was at its inception. I would start with these two, the narratives are good. One of the most difficult books i found to read was the book of Isaiah, its very symbolic and its not always easy to determine what is going on.
if its any consilation i read a bit from proverbs this morning and it was not a waist of time at all. was just a page but informative.
i guess if its a chore its a waist of time?
some are like a chore others are quite enjoyable.

Its odd as i guess every christian has to start at some point and they can't of read the bible, they must judge it will be good before finishing. The NT does impress me a lot. there's a lot of truths i've read that are very useful today and it counters a lot of the harshness of the OT.
