Christ did to the Jewish orthodoxy, what Buddha did to the Hindu orthodoxy.

The Bible is a book that every Christian should read, listen to, or have read to him or her throughout his or her lifetime; however, in the event that God has gifted a person with the characteristic for the utter joy that envelopes some during times of, what they would describe as, “pleasure reading” (an often times rare characteristic), it is only acceptable that he or she (particularly) reads His Holy Word at least once during his or her lifetime. At least, that’s what I think.

You ought to pray and read the Bible concurrently. You cannot pray effectively without reading the Bible and the vice versa.

Until a man begins to read, then He will discover himself.

Thy word O Lord is my great hope.

If we ask a random orthodox religious person, what is the best religion, he or she would proudly claim his or her own religion to be the best. A Christian would say Christianity is the best, a Muslim would say Islam is the best, a Jewish would say Judaism is the best and a Hindu would say Hinduism is the best. It takes a lot of mental exercise to get rid of such biases.

Anytime I'm not reading my Bible or praying, I feel like I'm wasting my time. [Mark's brother-in-law, Matt ________, speaking].

It’s time that Christianity should be redefined by the world based upon the original teachings of Jesus, instead of the Old and New Testaments which have been interpreted, reinterpreted and distorted by all the Ecumenical Councils, I.E. The Church Councils.

May God give you the grace to pray and the desire to read the Holy Bible.

Learning is the heart of discipleship. You can't just take up your cross daily. You need to take up the Bible every day.
