I was thinking of starting a Bible listening challenge once I finish this one, you're free to join!:grin: But yes you are right, this is by far the best challenge I've ever participated in!:clap:

Checking in for day 59!:cool:
 
I am really late joining this thread.

Can I jump in on the end?

Are you all reading your own individual Bible or did you purchase the 90 day bible?

Thanks! I can't believe it. Girl please expect alot of PMs because there was some stuff that had me like :perplexed and then others that had me like:brainy: and still others had me like:think:.

I definitely have to delve deeper into certain books. I think next time I'll definitely take notes. I also plan to use another version, I had NLV. I was reading so hard I found like two errors.

Thanks.
I was so inspired by this thread that I decided to start at the book of Genesis and just keep on going. What a good idea.

I'm reading the Message Bible.

Way to Go!:clap: Keep in mind too that the NLT is very much a "watered down" version meaning that it's written/translated in a way to appeal to non-Christians so a lot of phrasing that we're used to like Justification, redemption, sanctification etc., has been left out. I think the NKJV is very good though I'm personally a fan of the ESV myself:grin: I plan to use the NKJV next time. PM me anytime or better yet, post your questions and what you learned here so we can al benefit from the discussion:cool:
 
Checking in for day 64! 24 days to go!:clap: I'm really proud of my daughter for sticking to this as well. It's been a great bonding experience for us to read together and discuss what we're learning.:yep: How many 9 year olds have read the whole Bible....how many adults for that matter:look: I'm glad to have crossed over to the reading side:cool:

Thanks! I don't want to be the only one though and it would be nice to gain some feedback....
 
Ok, the next version I'll get is either the NKJV or the ESV. I did like how my NLV had some of the hebrew and aramaic translations in the footnotes. If possible, I'll look for a version that includes these.

One thing that interested me was the food ordeal. At one point I called up a friend and said "I have to stop eating pork and shellfish!". I didn't get this from Leviticus but somewhere in the Old Testament the Lord says something about his people eating swine. Then in the New Testament I understood why it was ok to eat these things aside from the usual scripture that everyone quotes that it is not what goes into the mouth but what comes out of it.

I also liked how much of the New Testament drew from the Old Testament. That helped me put things together alot quicker and the footnotes that were included also helped with finding passages.
