I am someone who ponders everything, have a problem with taking something at face value. While searching for answers, “That’s just the way it is” and, “I don’t know” never sat well within me. So I wonder with many on this site, what questions have you pondered while reading? What verse or...

I have heard many times over how some are so adamant about which version is the correct version to be reading, which is their right to express. However, I wonder how many others are a little more open minded. My go to is the NIV but, when I read my daily verse I will search the verse in all...

You believe that you read a verse that rings strongly within you BUT, when you go to search for that verse again, you cannot find it. I have not read the entire Bible (NIV is the version I read) I do like to cross reference the KJV I topic search for whatever topic surrounds my thinking each...

Anyone have any clue how many translations of the Old Testament existed then? Reading that the Old Testament was around over 1000 years prior, there had to be other translations. Look how many exist now. Besides Matthew 22:29, did Jesus ever speak of scripture? Thanks!

Even though none of us lived in that time in history, we can imagine it. The things that matter, existed the same then, as they do now. Many asked Jesus questions but I wonder what some here would have asked him? More importantly, would he have answered?

I have to have a talk with my Sunday school teacher from childhood. I probably would have been kicked out of class for questioning their teaching methods. We were told to call the priests F*ather ........ A big no no, according to the Bible. I was raised Catholic but saw too many practices...

Living in today's world, there is plenty to make you pause and get scared. I do believe that if we are always worried about, what will happen if we take that leap of faith? For instance, you will never learn how to swim if you don't eventually be brave enough to get in the deep end. I can only...

There are many verses talking about the subject but I wonder how others understand them and how they fit into their daily lives? I usually search topics when a certain inquiry comes to mind and found it very interesting how the Bible does not DIRECTLY deal with the topic of choices and...

I never knew this even existed. I haven’t gave it a good look through yet but reading certain verses in different translations can sometimes make it a little bit clearer. For instance: Matthew 5:3 KJV “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” MSG "You're blessed...

I stumbled upon Jeremiah 1:12 today and saw a word that I did not know the definition of, hasten. Hasten - be quick to do something This came from KJV Now upon reading all the other translations, the topic of speed(quick)can no way be interpreted. They all basically reiterate that God will do...

I read a verse a while back that talked about someone following their path and how it appeared to everyone around them that the individual was going the wrong way, and to ignore them. I only read it once I believe and my searches have turned up empty. Thanks for any help!

What does this mean to some of you? The people ignored his words but I must assume that Jesus knew they would. Is there anything in these verses, that anyone is able to apply to their life and make sense of?

If someone submits to this, do they still ask for things in prayer? Reason being, if you are at peace knowing God is looking out for you and knows what you want and need, wouldn’t asking for certain things show just a smidge of doubt? I also recall: Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit...

Is there any Biblical account of anyone that had more than 1 victory? I cannot recall any.

I am aware of the, “Nothing new under the sun” verse. But, For instance: Voting Modern medicine and it’s uses I don’t believe these topics are addressed directly but they possibly are addressed, indirectly. Kings of the earth where not voted into power, like they appear to be today. I am...

I recall reading how not to search endless genealogies. Probably because it will have you going in circles without hitting bedrock. I assume the same rule applies here. I am just guessing that the path from the wilderness, is different for all.....Not much attention should be paid to exact...

Such as, Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? I understand that the use of words has changed through time but, even if I modernized them, it still is confusing. Don’t you know? Still says, Do not you know? Haven’t you Heard? Says, Have not you heard? Anyone else find this odd...

What does this 1 John 4 verse mean to you? Is this something that is done only within ourselves or something that also occurs outside ourselves, with interaction with others? “Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us” Who is “us” referring to?

The part about not easily angered is the one I want opinions on. Since I still have not read the entire Bible, the only time I recall Jesus getting mad was 2 times. The time he flipped the table and when he healed the man on the “sabbath” My bible knowledge i mediocre currently but, what do...

For instance, there is John, John 1, John 2 and, John 3. There is Corinthians 1 and 2 consecutively, Peter, Etc... Why not all be together? I am curious what people here think?
