Select Verse Collections to memorize with this Group.
That’s good though! Keep it up!! :)
It's going well...except for that fact I've only done about 100 and the test is like....next week almost!
@Nadia, I wish I had done more ER as well :-/. The season is so short this year! I usually count by verses instead of passages. How are you doing with memorizing? I hope it’s going well!!
OKay........ Back to Bible Bee...
How many passages have y'all finished? (I wish I had done ER there is like no time left)
So your saying, you went one day without thinking one bad thought, saying something not nice, or acting wrong?
@kylo
So, you sin every day, so are you saying you are not saved?
.
"We" overcome the sin nature when we let the holy Spirit work on us (this is Sanctification) and as we draw close to the Lord, sin no longer has control over our lives.
How do you personally over come the sin nature?
.
I didn't say we can't lose our salvation, we can, but it is not a "Oh, you just told a lie, you aren't saved anymore" but a slow, long process of falling away and letting sin build up separating us from the Lord, resulting in us becoming blind and Satan coming in a tricking us to follow him and then, if you resent, you are no longer saved.
What I am confused at is, what is your definition of "overcoming sin"? Do you mean permanently defeat it so we never sin and are now perfect? Or do you mean, that we have overcome it, so it does not rule over our lives, but we still sin, but we are no longer slaves to sin.?
We were all children of the devil, but once we become born again, we are born again into God's family, and are now, Children of God. We will still sin, we do still sin, but sin is no longer in authority over our lives. We will still sin! Because all man has sinned and will sin. But we do not have to give it charge over our lives. If that makes any sense. :)
In short, overcoming the sin nature is not letting it control your life, and your actions. And we cannot do that, we let the Holy Spirit work in our lives, and surrender to him and cooperate with him.
.
.
But, this is a group for the National Bible Bee so maybe you could take this somewhere else???? I mean, so we're not clogging the message wall...
Reread Hebrews 10:26 and then tell me that we cannot lose our salvation again. One example of a person who lost theirs was Demas. In Philemon 1:24 Paul calls him a fellow worker. But in 2 Timothy 4:10, it talks about how he went the way of the world. It is true that we cannot live a sinless life on our own but with the power of Jesus we can overcome that sin nature. Adam and eve passed on sin to all humans we are all born sinners but once we are saved we overcome that through the cleaning power of Jesus Christ our Lord who convicts and cleanses of sin, teaches and guides, and gives us the fruit of the spirit. If we say that we can never overcome this sinful nature I feel like we are taking away from the power of Jesus. One thing I might add is the Bible speaks of those who sin being children of the devil (1 John 3:6-10) and I am a child of God who has overcome that.
@Kylo
Okay, I do not agree with that.
I do not believe that from one day to the next you can lose your salvation just because you sin once!
People have a sin nature, so we WILL sin. There is nothing WE can do about it. BUT once we are saved, the Holy Spirit lives inside us and works on our hearts (if we let him) and that is Sanctification . WE can not do ANYTHING WE can NOT Make ourselves stop sinning. But once we surrender our lives fully to the Lord, he works on us, and convicts us of our sin, convicts us to apologize when we wrong someone. Yes, sin separates us from the Lord. And when that wall of unconfessed sin get's so high, we become "desensitized" or "unsensitive" to the Still Small voice of the Holy Spirit telling us to repent, not to do this, not to sin. At that point we are no longer living for the Lord. Un-repented sin, "reserects" the old man, the sinful man. And then, we are looking and acting like we did when we were not saved, and we are now, living for the devil again. And an unbeliever. Now, of course, if we repent and ask the Lord to forgive us, then we can come back to him. That is an example of one extreme.
I do not believe that if we sin once we automatically lose our salvation, nor do I believe that it is possible to not sin, i.e be perfect. And I'd like to say this again: We can not live a sinless life on our own, we must let the Holy Spirit do his work of sanctification.
.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Okay, so if we repent of our sins after we sin we’re still saved?
Yes, just to be clear if we sin after we are saved we lose our salvation because God can not stand sin and if we are doing it we are separated from him and unless we repent will not make it to heaven.
There is no Bible verse that says we all sin every day. Another question... are you saying that if you sin after you’re saved that makes you lose your salvation?
If anyone else wants to hop in and sate their opinion feel free!
If you continue to be held down by the bondage of sin then there is no difference between an unsaved and saved person except for a desire to please God, which is practically no difference at all. This can be a hindrance for people who are not Christians because they may think that Christians are the same as them, sinners. AS sin is any willful transgression against the known law of God, not mistakes we make just because we are human like forgetting where we put a set of keys. If God can give us victory every second, every minute, and every hour over sin than he can give us victory every day. You cannot have eternal salvation read Hebrews 10:26 we can lose our salvation if we sin. Sin separates us from God and if we continue to sin how will we ever get to heaven. We can overcome our sinful nature through the power of Jesus Christ's perfection. I may not be perfect but Jesus is. Finally, I have one question for you. Where is your Biblical proof to back up the saying we are all sinners?
wow, that was a nice discussion here
my definition of sin is when we disobey God. The context of part of the verse I quoted says “all have sinned” so I was referring to sinning and falling short of the glory of God, I don’t believe that anyone can really pray ‘better’ than anyone, Jesus technically would have because He is God but we can’t live up to Jesus and I don’t think that not praying as well as Him is sinning.
Even though I pray, when Jesus was on Earth he prayed even better, because he is God. So when I pray I fall short of the glory of God. Because when Jesus prayed he was even better. So my question is what is your definition of sin?
@Kylo: I don't understand what you meant about prayer....
And I get what you're saying about sinning but I personally believe that we all sin and as Hebrews 10:26 says we should not sin willfully.
@Kylo
Sinning is disobeying God. Jesus told us to pray, and he would NEVER tell anyone to sin, therefore prayer is the farthest thing from sin. I don't think I understand what you are saying. Are you saying that it is possible NOT to sin? Like go through a day or week without sinning?
What is your definition of sin because when I pray I fall short of the glory of than Jesus prayed so am I sinning when I pray. I also believe that God knows the answer to everything and in his word lies the answer to this problem. Some scriptures that you can read are Hebrews 10:26, 1 John 3:6-10, 1 Corinthians 10:13, & Romans 6:12-14. Read all of these and understand where I am coming from.
@AuroraBeam Yep, I agree.
@Nadia A: That's a hard topic actually, very debatable. And I believe we all sin and fall short of the glory of God and we all constantly make mistakes.
@Kylo: I'm not saying Jesus couldn't make us not sin, I'm saying that God gave us free will and the nature of human beings is to sin. We constantly sin, can you think of a day you didnt do anything wrong? Didnt think of anything you shouldn't have thought of? I'm certain you can't! I think that John 8:11 is a command to all of us to sin no more, to do the best we can, to deny our own desires, because that is what God wants us to do. I believe that I'm always gonna sin and that's why I need Jesus, but I can't use that as an excuse to sin, I still need to to my best through the Holy Spirit. I also think that this is a subject that only God really knows the answer to so we could keep debating it but we probably aren't going to get anywhere...
@Kylo We don't have to keep on sinning I agree. I think everyone agrees with you there ;)
Even if I am not perfect I know that Jesus is and he can save us from our sins so that we can live in victory over it and completely give our life over to Jesus so that nothing can hold us back. If you say we have to keep on sinning you are discrediting the power of Jesus. Also, the woman had as many chances because God will always forgive, but if you can't actually sin any more than Jesus was just joking, probably just laughing up there in heaven because he set the bar so high we will never reach it.
@Kylo The Bible tells us not to sin but it also tells us that it’s impossible not to sin because we aren’t perfect and that’s why God sent His Son Jesus to save us! We do still sin and we still disobey God but he forgives us and gives us a second chance, and a third chance, and a fourth chance, etc. That’s what I think the passage is saying. Jesus was giving her a second chance. I’m certain she sinned again but He kept giving her more chances!
If you disagree with me then why did Jesus say, Go and sin no more." to the woman who committed adultery.
Yes Emma!! God has given us the gift of free will, and we can use that to glorify Him or to sin against Him. It's downright impossible to not sin. Only Jesus did that.
As in my first comment a few days ago I emphasized that we can CHOOSE not to sin :). God gives us free will. We can still make decisions to sin. It is pretty much impossible to be saved and still NOT sin. All have sinned (Romans 3:23) :)
@Jordan and @Tim, I definitely agree with y’all! Christ has saved us “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5)”. We are still sinners, even through Christ has taken away our sin, it doesn’t mean we are unable to sin. We still have a choice.
We all sin. We were born with a sinful nature. But we are DEFINITELY sinners. But God has saved us!! We still sin though, because God is working on us and it will take the rest of our lives.
I go to a Nazarene church, but my family does not necessarily agree with their entire doctrine.
Of course we can still triumph over sin, not contradicting that.
Well everyone is still a sinner. Read Romans 3:10 and 3:23. Christians still sin. The only one who does not constantly sin is God.
I am surprised to find someone that agrees with me! I am of the denomination of the Nazarenes what are you?
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! AMMMEEENNN!!!!!!!!! @Kylo
We don't have to sin every day, there is no predestination, and once you are saved you can still lose your salvation.
@Kylo, Yes! We are not slaves to sin, and Jesus has taken away our sin and covered us with his righteousness and love. We can choose truth over sin each and every day :)
@Kylo Yes we are not sinners because Jesus took away our sin and the Father only sees his Son when he looks at Us.
Did you guys know that we don't have to sin every day and that we are not sinners? Also, we can live in victory over sin.
Hello everyone! I've just added the Senior Final Release passages to the group. AuroraBeam added the Primary and Junior FR as well. Sorry it took so long to get them up! Happy studying! :D
@Nadia A: Hello! How are you? that’s alright xD. It happens to me, too.
The Primary and Junior remaining passages have been added!
Nadia A: It happens to me all the time! If I reload the page or press post multiple times that happens, but you should be able to delete them if you want :D
What? I did not mean to post that more than once! Sorry! 😯😬😬😬
@AuroraBeam: Sorry I didn’t see this earlier! that would be great! You should be admin now :)
@Emma: I can add them sometime tomorrow if you make me an admin! :)
If there are any Juniors or Primaries on here that either has or would like to make an FR collection for your division, I can make you admin so that you can do so. That would be extremely helpful for me, and for the rest of the group, as I don’t have the Junior or Primary verses. Thanks! :)
@Emma Awesome! Thanks so much!
Hello everyone! For those who took the test, I hope it went well! :)
The new study passage for Nationals is John 16-21, so I've added it to the group! The new memory passages will be added as soon as possible!
thank you ☺️ u hope everyone makes it too!
I hope you make it to semi's :)
@Kloe: I so happy for you! Great job!!!
@Kloe Yay, good job!! I hope that you may be able to make to semi's! Cheering you on over here!
I passed the mini test Andrew verses I meant to say
I passed my test!!!yay 😃 I am just going to try my best and see what happens next. I hope to make it to Texas for the show, but we’ll see
If you would like to learn more about the Bible Bee, Alyssa, I would suggest going to biblebee.org. It starts each year at the beginning of June =)
To be able to take the Qualifying Test for Bible Bee, you have to take an 8 question quiz and recite two memory passages. You have to get at least 50% to pass. It’s important for those who want to make it to Nationals to pass Proclaim! Day first :)
@Kloe I hope your Proclaim! Day goes well today! And, I hope that you will be able to keep up with reviewing. I know it can be hard sometimes, but just continue to chug away at it!
@Kloe: That’s is great! I hope you make it.
@Clara R: my Proclaim day is today. so yes Friday,
Wait today is Thursday, lol i cant remember what today is.
@Emma: That's awesome! Self motivation (and motivation created by other 'Aspirants') is a huge help! One of the only things that really keep me going this year.... xD Oh wow! Congrats! :)
@Kunicorn300: I hope you pass the QT! Is your proclaim day this coming Friday?
@Noah: Lol. You sound like me on that one! Although today I have like 250 to review 🥴 ah well....
@kunicorn3000 Yes I did! I hope you pass the QT this year! =D
that’s great! did you pass the proclaim day? I have always passed mine, but I have never passed the test
@kunicorn3000 I’m sure you’ll do well with your proclaim day! I did mine today :)
@Clara My reviewing is going pretty well except for today xD. Like Noah my biggest motivator is my competitiveness xD. I like to make a goal to complete in a certain amount of time, for example, 50 verses in 15 minutes. It keeps me focused ;)
has everyone already there proclaim day? I’m doing mine tomorrow
I do really want to pass the test this year though
I like doing the book part... but when it comes to review I’m either in the mood to get it down, or I’m too lazy lol
Well Clara I'm like sorta competitive so usually I always can review...The will...xD
@Emma: Thx. :) I just finished. All done till tomorrow! :) How are you doing keeping up on review? That is the hardest part for me. XD
@Clara Good job on reviewing! I need to do the same xD
Yeah!!! Review is done for 1 whole hour!! XD
@AuroraBeam: Ouch! That makes my numbers feel small, although it will soon be at that if I don't take care of it quickly. XD
I have 78 verses/passages to review. :/ I'm kinda putting it off, but the numbers aren't getting any smaller XD
I have 64 verses to review
Funny you should mention it..... I have 380 verses to review xDDDD
how is everyone’s reviewing going?!?😁
You should go to this website biblebee.org it tells you all about it! It's really fun :)
so what do I do in this group?
Welcome Alyssa! I’m so glad you joined the group!
welcome @Alyssa! So glad you joined! 😁
@Kenna Crain: I was just saying of course I remember you
Aurora Beam: Is of course good or bad?
I made up the name Atani Yoon people. I’m really Kenna. Remember me?
You guys have no problem. You’re great! My friend just paid me 15 dollars to say that. XD
I think we all have problems 😉
@Atani Yoon: Weeeel, I might be put off that you said we had a problem but yeah. Welcome to the group!
Don’t you want to welcome me to the group?
@Atani Yoon: Do we have a problem? xD
that’s great! I really like those verses too!
@Kunicorn3000 Wow, this is your 4th year? How awesome! This is my first year participating and I am enjoying it thus far! My favorite verse is Genesis 45:7-11. I also really like Genesis 50:17-21.
@kunicorn3000: It varies only a little bit. My favorite verse this year is Isaiah 49:8-13.
has anyone in this group pasted the QT? if so do you have any tips?
Matthew 6:9-15 is my favorite verse this year
I’m in the junior edition so idk if it varies but what was everyone’s favorite verse this year?
@kunicorn3000 That’s great! I’ve really enjoyed this year’s study as well!
my study is going really good! This is my 4th year doing bible bee.I have really enjoyed it this year, and I feel really prepared.
@kunicorn3000 My studying is going pretty well! Countdown to the QT has already started in my mind. XD How about your studying?
@Emily Miller Hi! Welcome to the group!
@kunicorn3000, My studying is going well. :) How is your studying going?
how is everyone’s study this year going!?
I mean the time thing. #clarifying problems
@Grace, probably true. That's kinda weird though!
@Emma and @Grace, Me either! I don't think I will ever be able to say Bible Memory without thinking first. Lol!
Lol, @Grace, I never have and never will stop calling it ST no matter how hard I try. xD
@Clara, yeah, Central time must just be the standard for BibleMemory.com lol (I almost said ST *facepalm* I'm never gonna learn to call it anything else xD)
@Clara, Hmm, that’s interesting. I’m in central time so the times on here that show for you are right for me :). Maybe it has to do with that the admins are in Central time? But that’s shouldn’t matter...so idk. I hope it fixes itself for you and @Grace too =)
@Grace, Maybe cause we are both in Eastern time? Lol! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one. :)
@Cross Man, Definitely for me too! I decided to not push for Nationals this year because of that, and also because I’m really busy this year. :)
@Emma, I am in Eastern time...Every time I post, it shows that I posted an hour earlier. It’s kinda weird! 🤷🏼♀️😂
@Cross man: Definitely! I was really shooting for nationals this year as I’ve never made it before, and I was really hoping to be able to meet new people and make friends and stuff, but when I heard the news I felt kinda discouraged. Now that it has been a few weeks though, I feel okay.
Hello everyone. I am curious if the news about Bible Bee only taking the top fifteen has affected anyone's motivation as it is mine? :(
@Nadia A: That’s great! Keep pressing on! :)
@Nadia A. Hello, and welcome to the group!
@Luke Z, Hi! Welcome to the group!
@Clara: I don’t know why. Sorry! Mine has always been correct.
@Clara, it has always done that for me, I have no idea why lol
@Clara, Hmm, I don’t know. Maybe it’s some sort of glitch with the system. It’s not like that for me. Are you in a different time zone? But time zones shouldn’t matter with the time you post...
@All, Is it just me, or is the clock on Scripture Typer off? When I post something, usually the time on the post is about an hour behind. I know that the time on my computer is correct...
@vasti xiadani. Sé un poco de español! Agrado! ¿Usted también está memorizando para la abeja de la Biblia?
@Heaven: Good job! Keep up the good work!
@Noah My memorizing is going very well! I only have three more passages left to memorize. Once I get those, then I will probably start working on the CR's and take a look at the ER's.
@AuroraBeam: It's going well! I just finished memorizing all my MPs, so now I have to start on the early release passages!
@Emma: Hi!
@Noah: My memorizing is doing pretty good... how about you?
@AurorBeam: Nice! I totally should have guessed...I even knew Reuben was the only Senior! And the tag....who could forget that? xD
@Noah: I've been on Scripture typer for a while... IDK how long.
@All: So how is memorizing going?
@AuroraBeam: Oh wow, hi Charis! xD Totally should’ve guessed who you were xD
@Vasti xiadani: Habla un poquito español. ¿Como estas?
@AuroraBeam:For real! I totally should have known who you are! Is this your first year on BibleMemory?
@Noah: 🤣 maybe if I just told you my name.....
@AuroraBeam: Ohhhhhh! Now I remember!
hola , alguien habla español ? bendiciones
@Noah: nope he’s in senior
@AuroraBeam: So it is not Reuben....
@Noah This will be my 3rd year as a Junior....
@AuroraBeam: Haha IRK!!! Are you a senior or junior this year?
@Noah so many to choose from....
@AuroraBeam: I figured it was! Now which one of the Browns....xD
@Noah oh, haha yeah them.... That would be my family
@AurorBeam: Do you know the Browns? xD
@Noah well, we’ve been at this host group for about 5 years......so I don’t know what else to tell you 😂
@AuroraBeam: I should totally know who you are!!!! I can't seem to remember though! Ughhhh! xD
@Noah I’m in junior. I was also running around playing tag?
@AuroraBeam: Hmmm...I feel like I should remember that! What division are you in?
@Noah well, you might remember me..... my older brother was the only senior last year
@AuroraBeam: That is so cool! I wonder if we know each other?
Yeah, I'm in y'alls too.... unless you changed in the past year 😆
@AuroraBeam: Yes we are! Are you in a host group?
@Noah are you and Emma in the same host group?
@AuroraBeam: Ohhhh! xD Definitely early!!
@Noah I think he’s being late to the New Year......
@MicahJustus I think that’s more of an early New Year than a late one.....🤣
Umm...am I missing something?
@AurorBeam: Welcome to the late club! xD
@Noah, I was considering saying something like that..... Happy late 4th of July!!
Happy late 4th of July guys! xD
Yes, Happy 4th of July!!!
Alright Primary ERs have been added!
@AuroraBeam Thanks! You should be able to add them now :)
@Emma
I’m making a primary collection for another group so I can add them 😁
Hello all! I hope you’re doing well! If anyone is able to make a Primary ER collection, let me know and I can make you admin so that you can add them to the group. I have access, but as I am out of town I wouldn’t be able to add them within the next few days. This would be so helpful—thanks so much in advance!
The Junior ER passages have been added now🙃
@AlternateIsAwesome: Hello! :)
@AuroraBeam You should be admin now :). Thanks so much!
@Emma if you would make me an admin I would be more than happy to add junior ERs 😁
The Senior ER Passages have been added!
@AuroraBeam Yes, as soon as possible. Senior ERs should be added today. I don’t have a list of the Junior ERs, but when I find one I’ll try to add it as soon as I can :). If anyone can make a collection of those, I can add them as admin so they can add it to the group. That would be super helpful. Primary ERs should be added within the next week or two.
@Emma are you planning on adding ER soon?
@Kruiz No, you don’t have to learn this groups verses if you don’t want to :). That’s awesome that you’re learning Psalms!
go join (Black Lives Matter 2020)
I'm learning Psalms bye for bible Quizzing (if you know what that is)
@Emma I'm in a different group learning verses,do I HAVE to learn the stuff in this group or no?
@KC Welcome to the group! Like AuroraBeam said, you don’t have to memorize the Strongs number. :) Unfortunately to give encouragement or prayer to a member, that feature is only on the website. Hopefully they’ll put it on the app someday!
@KC I just realized you said app..... going to go check and see if it’s the same as on the website😆
@KC no you don’t have to memorize the strongs number for the test and to give encouragement you click on someone’s name, then the encouragement wall, and type your encouragement 😁 glad you joined us!
How do you give an encouragement on this app?
Do we have to memorize strong’s numbers for the test?
finally an active group 😂
hello I'm new to the group!😁
@Noah They should be released next Monday :)
Hey can (or has) someone added the early release passages for Nats? (Correct me if they are not released yet!) xD
Thank you all who have more 1,000 successful attempts! Y'all have really motivated me to get to 1,000 on here! Thanks! :)
@Everyone I love seeing how some of your are being so encouraging to Emma! I agree; she is pretty awesome! Such a wonderful person. :)
@Emma It's great that you memorized all of the MP's! I am hoping to do that as well. Also, I just wanted to say how grateful I am that you are on here. You have been quite helpful, and I appreciate it! I hope that one day we may be able to meet. Possibly at the NBB? ;) Keep being you, beloved one!
Hi everyone! The Junior CRs and Primary CRs have been added to the group’s verses!
@Tim, 5 passages is great too! You’re almost halfway through and we’re only a couple weeks into the study! Nice job!
How did you do all those passages?!? I've only done 5!
@inactive I’ll take that as a compliment😆
@Noah Thanks! You’re doing great as well!
@Emma Congratulations on finishing! I am just over half way with Summer passages, still got a ways to go! I haven't studied CF's yet, but I memorized a good chunk of Genesis 37-50! :)
@Noah, I hope your studying is going well too!
@Emma, Thanks for adding everything so promptly! I'm glad your studying is going well!
@AuroraBeam, GJ! Keep up the good work :)
@AuroraBeam: Congrats on finishing the MPs! Good job! :D
@Noah: My memorizing has been going well. I finished memorizing the summer passages, also, so I’ve been focusing more on familiarizing myself with the CRs and Gen. 37-50 :) How has your studying been?
@AuroraBeam: That is great! Good job on memorizing all of the summer passages!
@Noah
Well, I’ve memorized all my MPs. Hopefully going to do some CRs....
Hi all! How is memorizing going? Hope yall are doing well!
@MicahJustus I noticed as well.
there is only one Kenna in the group
Hi, Kenna. Yes, Emma is great! She was one of my first new friends this season of BB, and I'm so glad I met you, Emma!
@Emma No you don't need to make it admin. I will not be able to give to devotion as you have! Thanks for all the work you have done!
@AuroraBeam: I was able to find the Junior CRs through Quizlet. I'll add them as soon as I can!
But meanwhile I’ll add the Primary CRs if anyone needs them :)
@AuroraBeam: As there are no Juniors in my family, I don’t have the list! If someone on here has a list, I can make them admin so they can add them. If not I would be happy to add them if I can get a hold of a list :)
@Emma
Do you mind adding the Junior CRS? Thanks!
@Noah: Currently I’m the only admin, but the group is technically yours since you started it xD. I took you off admin since you weren’t active for a couple years, but if you like I can make you admin again :)
Aww, thank you so much, guys! Y’all are so kind and encouraging, and I’m so thankful for you all. :)
Just curious, but who are the admins here?
@ Ellen T.: Thank you! I completely agree.
@ Emma: You do an amazing job with this group! I know it takes a lot of time to organize all the verses into all the different categories! Thank you so much. :) I and many others appreciate it a LOT! God bless you!
Emma thank you so much!!! you are incredible. ❤️❤️
@Kenna. please do not tear people down. you never know how much it can hurt. Speak life and positivity. God made everyone unique. and everyone is special in their own way. we should love each other and do good to them and pray for them.
@Kenna That is very rude to say and that is the farthest thing from the truth. Plz don't say things that tear people down.
@Kenna
Unnecessary and untrue please don’t say things like that.
I think they’re are a few others. Bible Bee 2020 SS/Nationals: Trust is the name of one. If you search Bible Bee 2020 or 2020 Bible Bee you should be able to find a few. :)
Thanks Emma! Long time no see! Is this the only group that has the 2020 verses? Or are there others?
Hey Noah, glad to see you on here!
Thank you all who posted the verses on here!
You can, but the summer study is meant for mon-fri.
@Clara I don’t think so...I’ve checked and I can’t find it! :)
Hey, just a question...Does anyone know if there is an Official Bible Bee group for 2020 yet? Thx! XD
Hi everyone! The Senior CRs have been added! Enjoy!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy doing Bible Bee!
Bible Bee is awesome! I hope all of you enjoy it :)
@Anonymous
I hope you do to!
hi I'm new here but I hope I will like it here
Welcome! I hope you really enjoy the BB!
Hi Everyone! :D This is my first year participating in BB! I mean I've known about it for several years but this is my first year actually doing it! :D This is a really neat Bible app! :D
@Ellen, Yes! They should hopefully be added by the end of the week :)
hey!! do you plan on adding the CRs for seniors this year?
No problem!! I also added the memory passages for all three divisions :) Let me know if you need anything else!
Oh, awesome! Thanks, Emma!
Hello everyone! I have added Genesis 37-50 (verse by verse) to this group's verses! Collections broken up into passages and chapters will be added, also. The memory passages will be added soon :)
I found out today that the study passage for this year will be Genesis 37-50! I am so excited that we will get to study the story of Joseph!
Hello everyone! Welcome to the group! =)
Hi guys! I'm a Junior and this is going to be my last year as one.

Welcome, Micah and Noah!
What division are y’all in?
Hi everyone! This is my first time doing Bible Bee, and I’m really excited! I hope to make many friends and memorize many verses during this time.
Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen!!! :D
@Joy, You could add me by email, but I really don’t want to out my email on here for everyone to see, since anyone can view this group, if you know what I mean. I don’t know how then. Allison and I write letters, so maybe if you talk to her and let her know I can send her my email via letter. :)
Hey, Joy! This link does not work either. I saw that you mentioned that you could add us via email, but I do not have a gmail account.
@Joy: The link does not work for me either.
@Joy: Thanks! Unfortunately the link isn’t working for me :(
https://hangouts.google.com/group/BpB78WE3MjUwuyis6 Here is the personal study chat with Allison.
Heaven and Emma, I could make a group on both here and hangouts. I have an NIV group (hangouts) set up. But I can have a personal one (hangouts) for us and Allison
@Emma: I was thinking the same thing. Maybe some where in the Old Testament. :)
@Heaven: I really don’t know, since the theme Trust can be applied to so many things in the Bible! But it sounds a little more like an Old Testament theme :)
@Emma - I hadn't thought about what the study book could be. What do you think the study book will be?
I would love to study with you too, Joy! Are you going to create the group on Scripture Typer?
@Everyone: I added ST’s topical collection, Trust, to the group. I hope to be adding to it within the next few months :)
I also have google Hangouts
I’d love that, Joy! I know Allison :). Would this be a Scripture Typer group?
Emma and Heaven, I would love to study with you both! I am also probably studying with Allison D, so maybe we could put together a little study group?
Yay! What do you think the study book will be?
The time flies by quickly! I cannot believe that the day for registration has come! I am so excited to finally do the Summer Study and learn about Trust. <3

Hey! Please join The Legends: Defeat bosses it is the funniest and most active group ever! You get to defeat bosses by memorizing scripture and completing awesome bible challenges! And it is soooo active! It is the #1 best group ever!
I come before you Father God, in Jesus name, asking you to put your protective hedge of thorns around each and every BB participant. Lord, may you draw more of our youth to your Word and to this anointed group of people. May their study continue to be a witness to me, a man in my mid 50’s, asking, seeking, and knocking one more day...and may their meditation on your Word build up and unify your Kingdom here on earth. I pray all of this in Jesus name. Amen.
That is so awesome, Emma!! Thank you so much for the tips! I will keep them in mind. :) Thank you for prayers, too!
Hello Heaven! Welcome! I also use ESV and will be a Senior! I totally agree with what Joy said. I would say to really make sure that you know the things in the Discovery Journal (the “study guide” we go through in Summer) well, as over 50% of the qualifying test has been on it the past few years. :) Study Bibles are also really helpful. I like to keep a notebook and write down some important things I learn in it from a passage. It is also helpful to use them for finding important cross-references and such. It’s so great that you are competing! I’ll be praying for you!
Thank you for the tips, Joy! I will certainly try them. :) I would love to be study buddies with you! I utilize ESV and I will be in the Senior division.
Hi, Heaven. I competed last year. That's so awesome that you are interested!
My personal tips would be learned the SS (Summer Study) passages really well, as last year, they used the SS passages at National's Orals. Take some of the practice tests that some people make, and use your own study methods.
If you'd like an online "study buddy", I'd love to be your study buddy! I will be a senior in BB this year, and I use NIV.
Hello there!
This summer will be my first time going through the Summer Study and I'm certainly interested in taking the qualifying test. Does anyone have tips for preparation during this off season?

yes!! I can't believe it! It came so fast!
Only 10 days until Nats!! Keep going everyone! =D

Contact Heidi Floyd on the BB participant community if you are interested in helping this year! She will give you instructions on how to format your questions and the process we will take in authoring and proofing them before we release them to the public.

Congrats to you too, @Scripture Blondie, and to all who also qualified, and even to those who didn’t! I added 1 Peter to the group’s verses, and I will add the Final Release Passages as soon as possible. :)
Congrats to all the National Qualifiers !
That's a good prayer. Ad yup, all glory to Him!
Amen, @ScriptureBlondie - started reading about BB on the website. Love the mission statement “To know God’s Word & to make Him known” is a mission that I pray with confidence will last generations. Love & admire Gods work through you all! 🙏✊
Hey there you go! It's totally worth it for the grandkids. I'm still wondering how long BB will be around. Hopefully forever!
can’t believe I’m so old @ScriptureBlondie ...that “I don’t have a kid under 18” - but grateful to pray for you all. Inspiring group! Maybe I’ll have a grandkid in BB someday 🙏🤷🏻♂️
@Christa, you're a Senior this year? My, time does fly!
yup, but I only remember you being a junior and now you're a senior and that means time is passing terribly quickly 😅
Wait aren't you a Senior?
*tears* Christa you're already a senior that makes me miss you even more !
Clanceman too bad you don't have a kid under 18 who could be in BB!
@Everyone: What is your favorite thing you learned from this year’s Summer Study? What are y’alls favorite passages?
@Hope: Hi! I loved this year’s Summer Study. I definitely learned a lot more about how to worship, and what it means to do so. ~Psalm 150:6
Hi, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the summer study. I did.
Hope
Thank you, @Christa ...God Bless you, @Emma and all of Bible Bee members - past and present! 🙏❤️✊
@Clanceman Praise the Lord! I will definitely pray. :)
@Emma, I was in the next season (2016).
My ❤️ continues to be filled with joy. As a 54 yr old father of 4...I am encouraged by BB. I never knew this existed. I was a lifelong lukewarm practicing Catholic until the last couple years. I have 3 girls & one boy ages 19-30. I’ve asked forgiveness for not being a father who led my family in Christ’s image & by His precious Word alone. I’ve studied the Bible for the last couple years, and joined a Bible Church. 2 of my daughters go on occasion & are just now being exposed to the Bible. You are all an inspiration to me. I continue to pray for you all. My only prayer request is that I draw closer to God, His Word & His will - discerned through it and my response to it. I ask that you all pray for this and that my wife & children accept & grow in Christ and become as drawn to his Word as you all are. I’m grateful for this app. I’m realizing how vital Bible memory is. Praise God & Bless you all! 🙏❤️
*Glad to have you....oh dear...typos xD
@Christa, Hello! 2014 was my first year making it to Nats, too! Which Game Show season were you on? I was on the 2014 Game Show as a Primary :). I hope I get to meet you next time. Glad you have you on the group! Happy Studying :D
@Christa, Hey! I remember you quite well ;) How neat that you've made it ever since 2014! That's when I first made it, and I've also made it ever since. No wonder we've seen each other every year xD
I might as well introduce myself for those of you who don't know me. I'm Christa M (duh xP), I'm a first year Senior, I've been doing BB since I was old enough, and I've made it to Nats since 2014. I also was on the BB Game Show. So um yeah... Hehe well, I'm excited to be on this group! :D
I am praying for all these intentions right now @snowbunny ...in Jesus name 🙏
Please pray for safety of all people there. Also pray for more people to get saved.
I'm going to the believers voice of victory meetings and there are some mighty breakthroughs going on with that.
😂👍❤️🙏 God Bless you all. I’m here in Portland, Or. - so grateful to know that so many here are storing up God’s Word & increasing Faith. There is revival happening! You all don’t forget to pray for me now 😉
Thanks Clanceman! I was worried you only cared for the Juniors! *faints with relief* no jk. Seriously tho that's awesome
I am praying for the Bible Bee Seniors and Primaries along with the Juniors at this very moment. Father God, may all of those in these groups lift up your name and change the world while storing up your Word so that you may be glorified, in Jesus name. Amen.
@Clanceman: Thank you for praying! Prayers for the Bible Bee Seniors and Primaries as well would be greatly appreciated 😊
