Hi! I’m SeungMi from south Korea. And I am Christian as well. So many times I made a decision to read the whole Bible mostly the seasons of new year but I’ve never been successful. Thanks to you, I remind myself to read and meditate the Word.
Keep reading~! Sister in Jesus.

I like that you said you needed to know what you believed. Very good point! I know faith is huge and can be there without ever having seen a bible, but if we have the opportunity to read it, we should. It’s God’s handbook for us. He loved us enough to give us tangible words. I hate when someone asks me a question and I get all flustered because I haven’t spent enough time reading the Word to be able to back up my beliefs with scripture.
I’m glad you stuck to it and finished! I’m also glad to hear you’re going back and reading original translations. That is KEY! So many scriptures are taken out of context. Always read at least 3-5 verses before and after a quoted verse to see if it is being used correctly. At least I know there will be a few TRUTH speaking Christians on this planet. Keep it up! :)

Keep in mind, that there are different religion bibles and they do not all say the same thing. They have all been translated, lost in translation, and altered according to religion.

The catholic church changed the bible in order to have control of people. Furthur down and just like the catholic church, other religions did the same.

You have to also keep in mind, that the bible was written by people who did not know jesus. Remember that the bible isn not the only place jesus is mentioned and that you do not have to go to church or pray to go to heaven. Jesus said that if you make peace with the world, then you are in heaven. The original languages of the bible, were Aramiac, Hebrew and Latin. Not too many people can read this, unfortunately.
