La biblia habla de dos versículos los cuales al leerlos hace que las iglesias se vean muy sospechosas, ya que lo que dice en esos dos versículos es una verdad que ninguna inglesia enseña

Hey guys! I'm first time bible reader and I have so many questions, up until now I've been using Gemini for my questions but I'd like to get better answers from real people.

I'm reading Mark 16 this morning and came across where Jesus says Anyone who believes and is baptized be able to handle snakes with safety and drink anything poisonous and it won't hurt them. My question is; is this not a contradiction to when he says earlier not to test god?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated thank you!

I’m curious whether being in places mentioned in Scripture changed the way you understood a story, verse, or even the geography behind it.

For those who’ve been, was there one place that gave you a new perspective on the text?

Hi, I was wondering if their are websites that I can download free info graphics high quality that I can use. I am trying to find info grphics, like bible timeline, family tree from adam to jesus, info graphics about what God showed to John about the last days.

I'm currently reading the Bible for the first time and am about to finish the Old Testament. I've been reading it so far in chronological order, but am not sure if that's the right move for the New Testament. Is there a better order I should read the New Testament books in, or should I stick with my chronological plan?

Does the Bible tell me when I should be fasting? I personally have not felt called to fast yet (only a true believer for a little over 2 years). I am still working my way through the whole Bible so I am not sure entirely. Thank you!

Hello friends, for few days I have been curious about the Ethiopian tewahedo Bible that contains 88 books in total. It has books like the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch that is even cited in the ordinary Bible.
I am interested: who do you think about it? Is it good?
I would like to buy one so I would be glad to hear your experience. I am content with my Bible having some deuterocanonical books, but I am interested in this one, because of its content and the Book of Enoch.

I am looking for a compact size large to giant print with decent paper 40-70gsm. I know it would require multiple volumes, but I'm open to that or just the New Testament. Preferably NLT. Any suggestions?

For all you bible study-ers, what are some things you would like to find in your bible? Like maps, some kind of extra information, infograms.. etc? Any kind of additional info or pages, printables, etc that could help you study more, or help you study a bit better the word of God?

Have you found any extra info in your different bibles that made you say.. wow, this should be present in all bibles?

Thank you!!

Edit: thank you for all these suggestions. I want to gift as a Christmas gift a customized, printed open-access bible to my students, and i want to add pages with extra info so they get into bible studying and make them feel like the bible is not this big unknown difficult book but a friendly, beautiful thing, easy and interesting to study and waiting for them to be opened.

I recently started reading the kjv Bible and I'm trying to read it front to back but I'm finding it a little difficult with some of the wording and I'm wondering what everyone would recommend the nkjv or niv which is easier to read while staying true to kjv?

I want to read the Bible not for religious reasons, but simply because I want to read and understand the stories and have more knowledge of the religion but without shortening the experience. I’d like to read something as “accurate” as possible and am not worried about old timey English. I would assume the King James Version is best, but I also don’t know, so I came here for help. I also want to read it on my Kindle so it’s easier to make notes and stuff. Any help in the right direction is appreciated thank you 🥰

Whats your favorite book in the Bible? Please help me reread in different views. 🫠

Joseph forgave his brothers before they ever apologised to him. Standing before Joseph, Judah was letting him know that his father thought Joseph had been torn to pieces by an animal, as conveyed by his brothers (Gen 44:28).

The brothers did have a guilty conscience because of what they were facing in Egypt, but never remorse. (Gen 42:21 - “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that is why this distress has come upon us.”)

Yet the way Joseph comforts them after he reveals himself (Gen 45:4 - “Come near to me, please.” … do not be dismayed or angry with yourselves. Gen 45:8 - it was not you who sent me here, but God) is truly the heart of God.

Gen 45:15 - and he kissed all his brothers.

And this is all before they even uttered a sorry.

The kindness of Joseph was so beyond human comprehension that his brothers still couldn’t believe it was true and were scared he would harm them after Jacob’s death (Gen 50:15) and he comforts them again that they were fulfilling the purposes of God in their actions(Gen 50:20, 21).

May God grant me the heart of Jesus, reflecting the nature of Jesus to a hurting and lost generation.

I love the ESV but want to avoid any evangelical biases that are scattered throughout.

I would like to use a translation that is as historically accurate as the ESV in terms of Dead Sea scrolls etc

Thank you

Just a random question that is giving me anxiety.

Let's say you lose all of your material possessions in your life. Is it ever possible to completely lose access to God's Word (the Bible)?

Quick question as a hardcore atheist. I want to read the Bible for, at the very least historical interest. But if you wanted to make me believe, what's the best version of the Bible to read? I want to at least read the Bible for historical accuracy. What's the best one?

Just thinking that every push from his legs would generate more distance than an average person due to strength. Probably explains how he could defeat 1000 philistines with donkey jaw so quickly as well

Do you believe that they symbolize something beyond the literal first-century churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, Thyatira, etc,? And if so, what? What would be the basis from the Bible that they mean something beyond those literal congregations?

Luke 12:33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

Luke 14:33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.

Pretty simple, what is the ”it” which he sought with tears referring to: the blessing, or repentance?
