Sorry for going silent. I won't even finish my own reading assignment. lol. I rented a beachside camping spot next weekend and I'll be bringing along a pair of camping newbies so I've been running ragged cleaning, checking, and inventorying my spare gear for them.
Read the first 10 pages of Genesis and boy do I have questions.
Easy answers (probably):
Where did cain get his wife?
Can someone explain Genesis 9:4 through 9:6? I didn't understand this.
How did Nimrod become an insult in the modern age if Nimrod was a mighty hunter? @_@
More difficult...
Try the PDF version I linked. From what I can tell, all bibles have a preface (Including the KJV). The preface lays out the translator's thoughts and methods for the translation.When taking a look at the KJV preface, it was LOOOOOONG. lol. (and still tough to read. And I mean long--probably two...
Just read the preface and already I have some interesting questions:
In the section of the preface, "What is different about the [WEB]?" there are several references to passages that were re-ordered or removed based on findings in the majority text Greek manuscripts. Does anyone consider these...
I've decided to take a break from researching fish brains for a bit. I've found a lot of potential indicators one way or another, but not sufficient to be properly indicative. To that end, until I feel like picking up this thread of inquiry again, I'll go with the ethically default judgement of...
Debate is a possibility, yes. This is going to be a group of diverse backgrounds and therefore there could end up being clashes that go beyond attempts at understanding and into the realm of opinions.
In my case, there's a very good chance that a debate may spawn from this--I'm a rather staunch...
Barring any objections, looks like we start tomorrow with the preface and Genesis 1.
Discussions run through Friday next week. We'll use Anyone interested in a bible reading rainbow? to decide the next chunk we'll read starting next Saturday.
If a native language version isn't the issue, then I'm not sure what you're asking.
I did find this version of the world english bible with an urdu translation. I don't know how good it is, but its what I could find...
I pitched just preface and genesis 1 for the coming week to let us test the waters and also because american holiday. This is where I wanted to do the chunks talk so as to not clutter things up here: Anyone interested in a bible reading rainbow?
Okay, the actual discussion thread is now up: Bible Reading Rainbow!
Unless there are objections, we start this Saturday and read through Wednesday. The whole week (Saturday through Friday) is open for discussion, but Thursday and Friday is specifically set aside for discussion.
For us...
This is the forum for the Bible Reading Rainbow. People are free to join and leave as they see fit, however you must have joined us in reading the pertinent section to join the discussion.
Assuming there's no objections, the format is as follows:
Each week we'll have 5 days to read a...
Hmm... bummer.
Well, looking at that website, how's everyone feel about the world english bible? It seems to be the most recent version of the american standard bible? Based on a little ignorant research, the old testament of the web refers to God as Yahweh--I know that's a sticky thing for...
I'm not sure myself. I don't know enough to judge the time expectations there. I hope we can use the PDF I found. I was going to wait for a not-a-sunday day before I go bug the staff for someone to give a go/nogo.
Assuming I counted people right, we have 2 for genesis and 1 for matthew. So I guess we'll start with genesis. If anyone wants to go back and verify that I'd appreciate it hugely.
I found a PDF copy of the CSB (2017 version, not the 2020 revision. This is not the HCSB version), but I'm not sure...
I was thinking a good week or week and a half per chunk. That lets us read at our pace, work around life, and reread or notate as desired. The nice thing about week and a half is that it gives us a dedicated 3 days of discussion in addition to discussion while we read--IE it breaks evenly to two...
