Thank you for allowing me to join the group. If there is a system, specific verse of the week, or a weekly a weekly online meeting, please let me know. I look forward to learning with you.
I do have commitment, blessed are those which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled: mathew 5:6
yup. but it takes a lot of commitment which is like oof
You’ll have them memorized before you know it!
I like that CRoss. I'm memorizing Mathew 5:3 to 5:11 I have 5:3 to 5:7 down. when I'm done I'll jump to Roman's. I will be honest it is overwhelming trying to memorize it all especially because I forget alot lol. God bless all!!
See also James 1:2-4. I pray to one day be sanctified enough by Him to “count it all joy”!!
Welcome DavidB.! I am currently working to memorize Romans 5:1-8 which has some great news for those of us who suffer tribulations (all of us): ...but we glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulations worketh patience, and patience, experience, and experience, hope. And hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
awe! I will be praying for you. just remember Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever
I am new and just starting this. I joined because I have seen Ducky's post so thank you. I do need encouragement because I do feel poor in spirit, thank you and God bless.
Prov 18:22 emoji riddle, Stuart?
*anonymmous 665 ugh that's a long name
Welcome to the group Hannah... I hope you have a good day too!
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
just joined... have a wonderful day, everyone!
if you don’t memorize john 11:35 do it I memorize it every day and now I am a master.
Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1. What a great thought, that once being the enemy of the creator of the universe, we now have peace with Him! How undeserving we are, and how gracious He is!
lol haha ok. cuz I'm from there and your description was perfect 😂
No, Blondie. From Wyoming originally, spent some years in Montana as well, so I have been through ND a number of times and am familiar with the region at least.
Crimson that's true but then we could still say Tony. why am I still arguing this😂
ND is a magical land of 10 foot snow drifts and wind that can push a man down. North Dakota.
hi Cross. yes Australia! it is starting to get cold here as we enter into winter soon. I have been to Cairns. also what is ND?
Yes, but an actor must in a way become the person he is portraying.
technically he only acts him he's not actually him. Hate to break it to ya
No. Iron Man IS Robert Downey Jr.
cuz Robert sounds JUST like Jacob!
Of course not! It's Robert Downey Jr. Gosh, Blondie! Get with it!😂
Welcome to the group Jacob!
I’m a beginner I’m only level 15.
and thanks for sharing that encouragement Anna! amen
Happy Good Friday and Easter! Don't forget to thank Jesus for what he did for you on the cross! Sometimes it's so easy to forget to be thankful for Christ.
Stuart- I was reading some old posts and saw you mentioned you were from Australia. I got to go there a few times (Bunbury, Cairns, and Darwin) when I was in the Navy and I loved it! Also, I saw Blondie was in ND. I grew up in Wyoming, so I know you probably still have 2 months or so before you finally get Spring... I mean WIND!
I just wanted to share one of my favorite verses: The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptations to be more than you can stand. He will show you a way out so that you can endure. If you’re struggling with something, a temptation or hardship, just remember that God aint gonna let ANYTHING hit ya that he knows you can’t stand. Remember, before Satin attacks us, he’s got to talk to God ‘bout it first.
whenever you are in a fix. Philippians 4:6. 😉
Yeah, Stuart! And it’s also not of myself, but a gift from God so that I may not boast!!
just want to say Romans 10:17. Have a nice day. 👍
Welcome Andrew and Doug! Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!!
hey how’s it going just joined
I know ppl who r trying. for reals
That would take a lifetime!😓
maybe. some ppl have done it tho
I have 31 039 more verses to memorize than! that might take awhile...
you're hilarious Cross! 102 verses is better than most ppl. 31102 huh. I'll have to remember that
Wikipedia knows! 31,102 verses. It gives me great hope to know I only have about 31,000 verses left to memorize before I have them all!!!
yeah I guess sometimes it's annoying when u have like six million verses to review (lol i dont think theres even that many in the Bible 😂)
Oh, she meant to not have to review it again? If that's the case, then Stuart is right.
just set the review to every year. or delete the verse entirely from the app.
I’m curious as to why would you want to mark it memorised to never be memorised again...?
The only thing I know to do is to get to the third stage where there are no given words. After I finish typing out the verse completely from memory and it's within my target accuracy, it should mark it as memorized and start the reviewing cycle. Sorry I'm not of great help, but I just got this app in October myself. I didn't get the Pro version until December.
I have memorized a verse and I would like to mark that I have memorized it. where do I do that and how?
What do you mean by "done"?

please, I find Ineed help again. I looked at the manual and haven’t found the answer. How do you mark a verse you have memorized as done? Thank you.
Did you know that the three most highlighted books on kindle are the Bible, Steve Jobs biography and the Hunger Games?
CRoss that is an interesting point. thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Crimson Dawn, I appreciate all your help. I kept on till I went back to the email they sent me this morning after I signed up for Pro. I had to use the license code on some page and then it worked. Thank you again. So kind of you.
Crimson Dawn, I had been there before and didn’t see anything that would help. Since you said go there I tried again. I clicked on settings. The only thing I see is Create a new account. There isn’t anything about Pro. It has a place for my email and password. I have no clue what to go to. What ca I do now?
Go to settings and click on the Pro Accounts button. You'll probably have to put in your password to add the account.
Crimson Dawn, How do I do that and where do I go to do this. I looked, guess I don’t know where to go .if you can help me I would appreciate it so much.
Did you put your account as one of the Pro accounts?
Crimson Dawn, I signed up for Pro this morning. I tried to use the Flash Cards and the Drawing tools and it kept telling me I had to upgrade to Pro to use them. Which I had already done. I have the company so far no one has answered my question.
I hope you have a blessed day as well! Did you mean that you have a lot of questions about the tools that are available?
I just joined and I have a lot about all the tools that are available. Have a blessed day.
Blondie, to answer your 2019 question - it was recently pointed out to me that the same God which has the power to condemn me will also be arguing my case for me (see Micah 7:9). That is an image that provides great assurance for those hidden in Christ. I now have Micah 7:7-9 on my list to memorize!
Perhaps some small plant life similar to what we know as plankton today (though plankton today also consists of some things that could be considered animal life).
There were in the rest of the world though.
I don't remember there being an ocean in the Garden of Eden.
I don't know... maybe seaweed?
Going to back to our conversation earlier, what do you think animals in the water ate in the Garden of Eden?
The Israelites were like that. I think we are like that today in some ways.
well I read through the book of hosea recently and I learnt that Israel kept wandering away from God and so God would judge them and then there would be a remnant that would repent and God would rescue them.
except when I jumped and the China broke
2019 just started, so nothing earth shattering.
I'm confused. I'm also inactive so sorry guys😂. what's something Gods been teaching u this 2019?
Is that a denomination or the name of your church?
Hello. I don't use groups to memorize because I have a lot of verses to memorize for school and AWANA.
let’s see how long it will take anyone to answer me. Then we will really know the state of this “group”
also what percentage does everyone set their review to? I set mine to 96% in order to account for me pressing the wrong button a few times lol.
how’s everyone going with getting their bible verses up to a few months for review?
Is this the most inactive group ever or something? I'm just asking you because you're the first person to post here in a week.
Hello👋 How's it going everyone?
it’s probably cause the app kept crashing
all the groups I’m in have suddenly gone quiet...
ahhh it doesn’t really bother me either way right now anyway.
hang on. But I like the taste of meat...
I certainly could be mistaken because some of the details may not have been of importance to be included in The Word, but I don’t think it has any theological significance really, just posing a trivia question 😀. If any part of that is significant, it may be that we know there was no sin in the world before Gen 3, and so there was no death either. Without death, we would be eating only plants. The fall had far reaching implications which we still deal with today, and thank The Lord he provided a just justifier for us or we would all suffer death twice!
I think what CRoss is saying is more exact word for word.
I’m really not 100% sure on this one. In one way gen 1:30 sounds like you can eat anything but if you read it another way it sounds like what CRoss is saying...
Ducky, God says in Gen 1:29-30 that humans and animals were to eat plants. I only see clean animals in 7:2, but nothing about being able to eat them at that time. If they could eat animals before Gen 9:3, I don’t think God would have said all plants and animals are now okay for eating.
hmm I'd have to agree with that
Like in Genesis 7:2 God told Noah to bring aboard seven pairs of any animal that he had approved of eating. if you read the whole verse, it makes it sound like he had already approved multiple types of animals for eating.
Does it say in the bible that humans only ate fruit and veggies before the ark?
To your point Stuart, there were later prohibitions on which meat was “clean” that was then removed in Acts, I believe...
Genesis 9:3, when Noah came out of the ark. Before that it was just the veggies! “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”
Do you mean which book of the bible or the specific verse that he said that? (either way I’m not sure)
Trivia question: At what point did God first say we could eat duck??
Mmm. You can eat duck. I found that if you marinate it in some peanut oil and cook it on the grill it tastes like a fantastic steak! Who knew?!
that’s ok. You can eat duck
Welcome, JerryInOklahoma! It would be good to have a goal for the number of verses you could memorize by month’s end. Could you do 10? or three?
thank you. that is a nice duck. My duck is one from a Local public garden.
The duck that I have a picture of is the one that comes on our front deck when we are in Tobermory
lol. yup! I love Christmas
hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!
yes ducky. that is not good.
hey I updated this app and now the search function doesn’t work when I try and search my verses
Hold up, now. I think I might be doing GREAT... 😆
Yes, that is good and this is good!
Then we are all doing good! That is good! Good, Good, Good!
I'm doing good. not sure about Stuart but I'm guessing he's doing good since he asked 😂
hi CRoss. I just saw the trailer on YouTube. it looks very interesting!
I just watched the movie “American Gospel: Christ Alone” and it was incredible!! If you know anyone caught in the word of faith movement or prosperity gospel movement, it would be great to share with them. Very well put together and has you loving Jesus more at the end like a good church service!
oh wow! that is fantastic! would love to know what he thinks.
ooh that'd be awesome! it'd be nice to know what someone with a PhD in that stuff would say!
Ok, my dad actually has a PhD in biblical languages and bible translation. So when he preaches sermons or writes papers he just translates the verses straight from the original language. Sometimes when I want to know more about a verse or am confused about a word I'll ask him and he'll get out his Greek bible and give me the literal translation of it. That is really neat! Tonight at supper, I'll ask him what version of the Bible he thinks is best and then y'all can have his opinion. 😊
yes amen! that's actually very comforting
Most definitely, Blondie! Praise God for His preservation of His Word (Matthew 24:35).
that's true, CRoss, I doubt God expects us to learn Greek and Hebrew and only read the originals! 😂 however, and I'm sure you'd agree, there are some OBVIOUS mistranslations
The ESV and CSB are both considered formal/functional equivalents of the original text and I personally am comfortable with both, but we all should study the issue of translations for ourselves to make sure we are reading what God intended. It’s tough to get any good info from the internet since everyone has a bias, and even then all translations come from one or more ancient texts which some people also have a bias on. Since I can’t read all of the ancient texts in Greek or Hebrew, I just have to do the best I can and realize no text will be accepted by all!
hm that's cool! honestly I don't think I've heard of the CSB? but yeah with the ESV thing I'm not completely sure. that's just what I've heard 🙂
I did not know that about the ESV. That would concern me too. I am kinda of new to reading different Bible versions, my church is KJV only (though my family is not) and I have always read KJV until a few months ago. I am reading CSB and I am loving it! I understood the KJV well since I am a good reader, but I am still amazed at how much more I am getting out of my Bible by reading it in a modern translation.
@Cross and loved by Jesus that's kind of what I thought. I'm not KJV only by any means but some translations just take it a little too far. actually the ESV (the one I use) kind of concerns me a bit too in that they have to "update" it every several years 😬
Hey Katelyn! Great question. I would suggest all of Psalm 51 (19 total verses). You can do them one at a time, and that chapter has such great application to our everyday lives!!
im gonna memorize more i just need more verses
what verses would you recommend
wow I had no idea he had died recently nor did I know he said that.
I would be really careful with The Message. The Eugene Peterson more of rewrote it than translated it. He died a few weeks ago and there was an article on him in our newspaper and he had said that he would have no problem marrying a gay couple.
Really, the NIV is a paraphrase as well. I don’t consider myself a “translation Nazi”, but God’s Word is precious and I think it’s wise to put some thought into how the translators of our versions have preserved it.
Yeah, The Message Bible was written by Eugene Peterson, and he had free range to put his own theology into it. I get that some of the other translations are difficult, but I would suggest looking at his theology (just google his name) before you decide to use his bible. You can’t go wrong with a “formal equivalent” translation in my opinion, but we really should treat all others that interpret the meaning of God’s Word with caution.
hm yeah I'd stick with those versions too
for me I would go to NIV, NKJV, ESV, NASB translations to try and understand some verses in the context before going to the message. From what I understand the message is a paraphrase written by one person.
Vicki that's interesting. I know some ppl really "doubt" the Message Bible, but I supposed it's good for helping you understand stuff?
I was looking thru the posts and saw some discussion about bible versions. I wanted to share this. I am involved in a study of the book of Job. that is a hard book to read. I picked up The Message and read a chapter, then went back to my NIV version. I was able to understand it much better. I know The Message is a paraphrase and not a word by word translation but it helped me in this study. I think the poetic type of writing in Job was making my brain think each line was a sentence. in The Message the paragraph form made me see it differently.
Cool! I really want to go to the Ark sometime
Yes,the ark is really good! I have also been to the creation museum.
CRoss. Yes do that! let me know how it goes. 🙂
Stuart - That is an interesting point about shifting the frequency out. I am going to give that a try with some of my verses and see how it works.
Not been to the Ark yet, but I just moved to Dayton, so I’m real close to it now. We’re homeschooling our girls and hope to make lots of field trips there!
hi loved by Jesus. I have not been to the ark but some day I want to go to America to visit it!!!
that's cool Loved by Jesus that ur looking at different versions. I use ESV. Also I've only been to the creation museum not the Ark... is it good?
Just curious. Has anyone on this group been to the Ark?
Hello, I was reading all the posts about bible versions. I have always used KJV both for memory and personal Bible reading. I have always loved the eloquence and power of the text. I just got a CSB and I am getting used to it. ☺ It is easier to understand than KJV but I don't like the wording as well.
hmm interesting challenge. I'll have to think about that...
I want to challenge al of you to try and lock your verses in for up to 1 year. The reason for this is you want to get these verses memorised and put into your LONG TERM memory. From my research I have done. If you review the verses too frequently then when you stop reviewing them, you will forget them. However if you keep reviewing them and the frequency increases you will gradually get them up to months. Just my 2 cents... what do you all think?
I've locked all my verse below 3 weeks.
If I set my maximum review time any longer than a week I’m sunk! I can’t imagine how many attempts I would need after 3 months!
I always change my review date lower because in 3 months I wouldn’t have a chance.
oh yeah. sometimes for me it's like I have to re memorize them!
😊 a few reviews and I get it back to 100% but that first review after 3 months is a shocker... 😯
anyone get there verse(s) up to 3 month review and then suddenly cannot remember them?
oh my! actually it's supposed to warm up to 60 this week, of course that's right when we go on vacation
We are in TN. My phone says it is 65 degrees but I think I am sunburned!!
ooh fun! how though?! it's like 30 degrees where I am!
I just reviewed all my verses. I am sitting in the sun on a lake watching boat drag races. reviewed as the boats lined up.
The use of the word “strive” in Luke 13 aligns with some of the characteristics of the Greek word pisteuo which is the word which we read as “believe” in the Bible. Strive means to endeavor with zeal, and pisteuo-believe means to commit yourself to the object of belief.
You guys are welcome to join my group, Athletes for Christ! I would love to have y’all!
very good point scripture girl!!!!!!
no that makes a lot of sense! Now that I think about it, it probably is talking about the fruit of our faith, since "walking the narrow way" (Mat 7:14) is a result of "finding" it, which to me would be the faith 👍
I got a bit off track. but I think this might be relevant to 13:24..
Regarding the passage we discussed in Luke 13:24. Take a look at verses earlier in the chapter. Look at 13:5. Unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Then the following verses talk about bearing fruit. (Read over 6-9). Two words stand out to me from these passages. REPENTENCE and FRUIT. I suddenly thought of a verse mentioning these words together and I did a Bible search and found Earlier in Luke. LUKE 3:7-8. I find these verses striking! Read down to verse 14 in Luke 3 if you like. I find it interesting Jesus talks about bearing fruit worthy of repentance here and then later on in 13 He talks about repentance followed by talking about fruit. What does everyone else think about this?
alright sounds good! can't wait to see your thoughts
great discussion everyone! I’m going to think about it some more and post my thoughts at a later time.
yes I agree our faith will grow into what you said, study and prayer. That's probably what a Bible scholar would say! (unless they were Catholic or something:)
Yes I believe simply believing is enough. I think as we study and learn the believing is easier and our faith is built. This is just my opinion, don’t know what a bible scholar would say.
I might agree! it's hard to know in that context. Isn't "entering the narrow door" simply believing in Jesus ? hmm I'm gonna hafta look into this! 👍
in NIV it says make every effort to enter instead of the word strive. I think anything we do to know God better (being in the word, praying, study) would be striving. Anyone agree or disagree?
hmm... this may be simple but strive in this verse seems to be "just believe" since the context is salvation. I don't know for sure tho... great question!
let us have a discussion. How does one ‘strive’? (Luke 13:24).
Haha that is hilarious... I'm gonna use it
the answer is: Irrelephant 😆
haha true. I give up Stuart
Or you call it and elephant that doesn’t matter.
nothing? (like he has no matter?)
What do you call an elephant that doesn’t matter?
wow that's hilarious! I don't even try to punctuate well on the message wall 😝
Yeah it does punctuate for you when you’re memorizing verses, but it gives you no help when you’re posting a message on a wall! I like to memorize from and read the KJV and I know there is some punctuation in that version that doesn’t make sense to me anyway, so even my best guess was WAY off! 😆
oh yeah that makes sense you want to do it from memory 😄! that IS funny I had never thought of that! doesn't Scripture Typer do all the punctuating?
Right. I was just trying to type out a verse from memory, so I was not going to look at the Bible. Like I said, I’m not real concerned about it, it just struck me as funny.
hmm sometimes I struggle with that too! But usually the Bible has the right punctuation so I just copy that
I just typed out a verse on another group’s page and quickly realized I have no idea what the proper punctuation for the verse is. Anyone out there memorizing punctuation?? I don’t think “rightly dividing the word of truth” is talking about punctuation at all, just something I had never thought about taking notice of before!
Oh nice! It's nice to comment in peace
It was already private—guess someone got the idea before me.
I will do it for a bit I guess, until those people stop.
@Cz, I think that could be a good idea at least for now. Though it seems like eventually those type of people stop, so I don't know 😕
Also, if anyone knows any good verses, please put them on the group!
Should we make this group private because some people have started using bad words on chats and I don’t want that here.
