      I mean all the way through, from start to finish, Genesis through Revelation, like you would any other book, as opposed to just looking up bits here and there. Not in one sitting (you would be impressive if you could do that!) but over whatever period. Maybe reading one book at a time, but going from start to end in order. That is what I am asking. So, have you?

        Given all of the continuing avoidance (my questions arise directly from your "answer.") I guess that for whatever reason you cannot answer directly.

          Back to your game of trying to play posters off against each other so soon?

            Virtually everyone who says they've "read" the Bible have done the here and there bit. Sort of like a Sunday School lesson (turn to Job 3: whatever ... now turn to I Corinthians chapter etc.). Very few bother to read it cover to cover. And most of those confess to having skimmed or skipped through the begats.

            My grandmother couldn't sleep, no matter how tired she was until she read from the Bible. She read it through cover to cover multiple times. I picked up the habit from her. I've read it through -- including all of the begats -- a couple times but haven't done so for many years now.


            Maybe I should start again

              Well being pedantic it is a collection books and no I have never decided to sit down and read the different versions in that way, the content is hardly the most thrilling read in some sections.

              However, I have read the books in the various bibles. Why your desperation in needing to know?

                I will admit to skimming through the OT begats I have read the whole thing through a couple of times, and the NT through 3 or so times. And listened to the bible on Audiobook twice all the way through (fast forwarding through the OT begats again)

                I found that reading it from start to finish in a fairly short amount of time really helps with comprehension and context. Reading it haphazard or over a long time ends up you not remembering many of the references and seeing how it all fits together, especially the prophesies. It is obvious that although written by many authors over centuries, that the bible is a comprehensive volume and not just disparate texts cobbled together as H_A seems to treat it like. Which is why I asked her in the first place if she had read it all the way through from start to finish.

                She seems to not want to answer directly for some reason. It's much easier to type "Yes" or "No" than "see my previous answer"

                  Was that so hard to say?

                  1. see my answer in my last post to rogue. https://theologyweb.com/campus/forum...77#post1280777 (which your answer above confirms my suspicions)
                  2. To watch you dodge answering my question after you have spent several threads complaining that rogue wouldn't answer yours.

                    It was the way it was phrased that amused me.

                                No you didn't. You played games. You implied that you had read the bible all the way through, only to admit later that you did not. For someone who has spent several threads complaining about rogue not answering your questions, you are remarkably good at not answering questions yourself. Which again, reinforces my belief that all of this is nothing but trolling and sealioning. This is why nobody takes you seriously. You are just a distraction.
