Read the entire Bible

Ok, I read this as my Lent project, I eat little chocolate and drink little alcohol.
1. They are all prays.
2. Some are long, some are short, one is the middle of the bible
2. Some are beautiful.
3. So many are used in the new testament
4. I recognised a lot of it :-)
5. I’ll be using some passages for a long time now.

We did this for Spring Harvest, at great depth :-)
Interesting choice for the last book of the Old Testament.
Basically “he” was telling off the “chosen ones” for not worshipping God enough, sounds familiar.
Ends with a threat of Gods curse if…..
almost 200AD Torquemadaish, “Be pure! Be vigilant! Behave!”

Err, its Chronicles the Kings, Saul, David, Soloman and others.
Its basically the background to the previous book.
Glad I’m through it.

Well, this took a long time.
Am I allowed to say it’s boring?
Extensive lists of rulers, most of them bad, a few good.
Some colourful language though “he that pissith against the wall” for example.
Hopefully the Bible will get better from here.

I know its New Testament but I had to read it for a course I’m doing.

What a lot of parables and miracles and good doings, to quote Ned Flanders.

Mark was the first and it shows.

Umm, its the first book about kings.
Its a history, with lots of problems, of Israel and Judah.

2 Kings is next.

David becomes King
Is naughty and suffers
Lets think about it.

But is does have a Footloose quote :-)
6:14 “David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might”

Errr – its about Samuel
And Saul (naughty boy)
And David (Yurrahh) (who kills Goliath – boo)
Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S17Mvfx2Z5g for the David and Goliath story.

Well that was short and to the point. The story of Ruth, not much else except it flags up the lineage of David and therefore Jesus’s mums husband.

“Its what it says on the tin”
IE The Israelites are naughty, get judged and be good before being naughty again. And again and again.

Who cut off Samsons hair?
Clue: It wasn’t Delilah.
