Bible Discussion Thread

I have two problems with the Bible: 1. Chapters and verses have little to do with content. it would have been better if it were divided by event and do away verse numbers. 2. Verses are often removed from content when they are used to prove an unrelated position. I believe that John 3:16 is one of the best examples. What does it mean to you? Read John 3:11-21. This makes a full teaching of Jesus to Nicodemus and extends to us. I am working on a Study of the Sermon on the Mount which will begin with John 3 then Matthew 5-7 and end with John 14. Has anyone seen the need for correction, other than me?

Mathew 25:31-46
Philippians 2:4-15
Jude 1:21-25
Hopefully that helps your study :) & encourages

Keep in mind chapter and verse numbers were added by man long after the english language had matured to todays level and the comon folk when it was written normally did not even read. as you might notice the kjv 1611 version has many antique words.

Hi Joseph we know there were no Book Names, Chapters, Punchuation or small particles; is it as etc it would have been a long read for sure but I do see your point it is why I mostly share more than the verse I'm focusing on others feel its better to soom in on what they feel is the most important part of the Chapter but it still is better to read in Contex as we seek to do.
