Read the Bible with me series| Read Along| Book of Mark

Everyone is at different places in their walk, but we can all meet in His word. Some struggle to read the Bible for various reasons, some have no one to read the Bible with or do study with. I pray this provides a meeting place for believers to come together in mind, heart and soul- truly seeking Him and His Word. God Bless

Bible versions: I am reading the NASB1995 version. I also frequently read from other versions like the nkjv, esv, kjv, tlv,etc. With the modern tools we have with free Bible apps, we can easily do a verse comparison that would show the differences between each version of the bible. Often you will find it is only a word that is different. You can then use the strongs concordance which can take you back to the original hebrew or greek word and you can further break down the meaning of that word. I use the strongs concordance often. I am more than grateful for all the advances and what we have at our fingertips today, I can say we have no reason to not study His word and know it.
I will not get into arguments that the Kings James version is the only true version. If that is what you want to use, stick with it, but for others who dont naturally speak in old english the 'thee and thou and thus' language can be confusing and the meaning can be lost. So it is more important that you want to know and study His word. Use one that you can read and understand and that you like and once you know His word if you want to go deeper, do verse comparisons, study the background of the bible versions and go from there.

Some Bible verses that show the importance of Gods word:

12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to [a]judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12​​​​)

16 All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16​​​​-17)

17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.(Romans 10:17​​​​)

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16​​​​)

23 for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. (1 Peter 1:23​​​​)

15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15​​​​)

11 So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
