The Bible Reading Challenge

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

All right! Instead of voting for a book, I was thinking we should read the Christmas story. You can chose which gospel to read from, BUT please, if you finish, please read again. There is something to be learned from all scripture. I don't want someone trying to get done as fast as they can, just so they can be done. The Holy Spirit can speak through all scripture, and you can hear, and learn. But only if you listen. So...

Are you in?

• I'm in!
• Nah... (Really?)

There is something to be learned from all scripture. I don't want someone trying to get done as fast as they can, just so they can be done. The Holy Spirit can speak through all scripture, and you can hear, and learn.

I would like to point out that this is applicable to all Scripture.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Isn't that what I said?

[Hans_Oddcraft]

Yeah, I was just confirming it.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

By the way! The scripture I am counting as the Christmas story is: Luke 1,2 and, Matthew 1,2. If you get board with reading the story of Jesus's birth, then you can read Obadiah (Please don't...).

Summary

@Hans_Oddcraft. Because I couldn't delete my prior post, I have to double post.

If you would like, you can read BOTH accounts. It would let you see different parts of the story.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Where are you all in the story of Christmas? I have finished the Matthew account. I am oscillating between the accounts and re-reading them.
@Ariella_Newheart @Hanna_Brassheart @John_Otterblast @Elizabeth_Newroad

[Elizabeth_Newroad]

I have finished Matthew's account.

[Hanna_Brassheart]

I, too, have finished the Matthew account. Reading how much angelic activity there was surrounding Mary and Joseph is always striking.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

I have now finished the Luke account. How's everyone doing?

[Jones_Elderview]

I'm doing pretty good, how are you?

this should go in TAYW BTW.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

I meant in the reading... Therefore it should go in this topic?

[Jones_Elderview]

Okay 2 things: 1: that seemed a bit aggressive.
2: Yes, but I didn't mean in reading, so I would go there.

[Elizabeth_Newroad]

How's everyone doing?

I'm doing good. I just finished Luke and I think my favorite verse from what I read was 2:19.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Sorry if that was aggressive... Okay.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Summary

So sorry everyone with being almost a week late on announcing this, I have been very busy and haven't had much free time. I will try to do better, but I am working on a huge project and that has been sucking up my free time. :0)

[Lucas_Dibblevest]

Just a friendly reminder please don't double post.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]
