I've actually never read the Holy Bible front to back. There are
still some verses that I hear now that I've never heard of before. Day
to day, I waver about what it really means to be a Christian, however,
in the past year have I taken to heart that no one is more sinful than
anyone else, and therefore there is nothing I can or cannot do to be
loved by God. Today, I am starting a journey with my boyfriend Peter: to read the
entire bible in 365 days. Surprisingly, this challenge was his idea. He is a self-proclaimed atheist, and I am a
baby Christian, despite having grown up in the church. There is nothing
wrong about asking questions or having doubt, and I believe reading the
bible alongside a non-believer will foster a greater and truer
understanding of God's word. I wonder about how far we can get into this
challenge, how diligent we'll be with the readings, and whether or not
we will get to the last unread word. But I'll hope for the best, and pray that it'll give both of us insight into God's plans as well as a way for us to navigate the world without as much apprehension.
Most
of the blogs will have links to sites that I have used to research the
chapters and answer my questions. The verses will be posted from the New International Version Bible. Please do not hesitate to comment
and/or question, but please refrain from attacking whatever is published
on this blog. Because frankly... it IS a blog. This is a place of
faith and opinion, and not a source of absolute truth for readers.
Each entry will often focus on a single chapter... for relative succinctness.
