If you haven't heard this already, Landon and I finished the first (out of 6, hopefully) Bible Bee video reviewing week 1 of the Sword Study! If you want to see it and the next ones as they come out, the link is www.vimeo.com/channels/biblebee
You'll be able to get this year's verses on June 1st by clicking the Bible Bee Shield at the top right of the website. There's also a getting started video there with lot's of info on using Scripture Typer for Bible Bee verses. This year, only Bible Bee verses will be counted in the group rankings. All of our stats will reset on June 1st and only this years verses will be counted. Happy Memorizing!
Yes, I am not doing it because I am so busy. I do not know what local group he will go to. and as to wether he will try to make it to the nationals, I think so but he is doing a lot this year for college schollarships and clep tests so I am not sure how much time he will be able to devote to it.
Are you not doing it because you're staying so busy? Also, do you know what local group Seth will go to? Is Seth going to try to make it to Nationals?
I think that seth is doing it again but I am not going to
So...you aren't doing it again, though. Is that what you're saying?
I think that Seth may do it this year but I am not sure if we will be going to that local group
Hello! Are you all doing Bible Bee this year? Are you coming to our Local group again?
Less than a week left. I can't wait.
11 days left. It's so close!!!
19 days left till the locals!!!!
Hello Daniel W! Great having you on here!
We just got an email saying that they were using the cards instead of the bible, so I guess you were right. Next, I am planning on making it to the nationals as is Seth, and maybe Joel.
We asked a rep on the Bible Bee site. I'm sure that they know what they're doing....though, does Seth have any other info about it all? We asked because we were cofused about it all as well. Next question, are you all planning on making it to Nationals :) -Bethany
I let Seth know, and he said "In the case of such a contradiction in the suggested regulations for the National Bible Bee, I cordially sugesst that you consult the rulebook, under 'General Structure and Rules', page 7, article 7, sentence 5, and NOT at the asterik at the bottom." I hate when he talks like that.
Wow! where did you learn that? did you just see it in the rulebook.
Nope, nope. They switched stuff around...you have to go by your cards and not by the Bible!! You'll need to know this, that way you don't learn all the wrong words. If you get this and understand it, let me know...you might also want Seth to know. Oh, and welcome, Joel! We need more poeple on this roup! -Bethany
On 2 Timothy 16-17 this says "that the man of God may be COMPETENT..." (like the bible bee cards) instead of COMPLETE, which is how it should be recited.
what method do you use for memorizing? I have tried a few different methods but haven't found any that work especially well for me.
I guess the same thing it means on Facebook (which I don't have). I'm not exactly sure though. -Bethany
When ever you go to someone elses profile, at the top corner it has the option of adding that person as a friend. What does that do?
Oh, OK. Great! That's right - you said he was on when you were mentioning all the Memversers that are on Scripture Typer. I forgot! :)
Yes, he does, Bethany :) He's in our MO Bible Bee group! -Bethany
Do you use Memverse.com, Benjamin?
Thanks! Those will be really helpfull. unfourtunately I don't have any to suggest to you.
SS stands for Sword Study :) Sorry about that. Let'se see. This is for finding cross-references -- http://www.openbible.info/labs/cross-references/ This is for Biblos -- http://biblos.com/ This is for if you own a Studen Study Bible -- www.esvbible.org E-Sword is also a grea thing to us; and then just reading commentaries and what other people thought about the book is helpful too. Do you have any sites you would recomment to me? Thanks. -Bethany
After you review a verse once, you don't have to review it for 2 days, and I am not sure about after you review it twice etc. Next, I do not have Logos, and I have used quizzlet a little bit, and I am planning on using it this year.(What does SS mean). Any more links would be helpful :D
I just rezlized, that after you memorize a verse on here, you have to review it the next day, that's why it dropped us! Just in case you didn't know. Also, I don't know if I'll be able to be on here everyday...I'm really busy! Next, thanks for bringing us back up! Next thing...I'm planning on memorizing 2 Timothy as well -- and cross-references from the SS. I have a lots and lots of links to place that have helped me with Bible Bee...do you want them all? Also, if you have Logos, you should use that...it's really helpful! Are you on Quizlet? I have more to share, if you like :)
Sorry I didn't notice your post below about memorizing bible bee verses. but to answer that question, I dont have any specific time I am trying go memorize all my verses by (Eccept the Bible Bee of course) I am mainly going to be focousing on the 2nd Timothy an slowly memorizing my verses, and as to any other sites that have helped me, there havent been any that I have found, but if you find any, especially in regards to 2nd Timothy be sure to let me know.
WOAH! we need to get up to 130 verses. wow you better start memorizing fast.
Okay, I got us back up to third place, now I am counting on you to bring us up to first
@Bethany. To answer your question about wether we will be going to the kick off or not, we probably will not be going because it takes 2 hours for us to get there, but it is possible.
Oh, I see. Hope you can! We will be speaking there :)
What?! *looks at leaderboard* Hmm...we've got some work to do, don't we?! Oh, I know how...we have to review all our verses! do you know how?
The Sinclairs are on the Edgewood Reformed Baptist group - currently 6th place. Octavius just joined the Royal Redeemer Lutheran Church group. AstroLeah I saw on the main leaderboard. I'm on the St. John's Free Lutheran group.
Well, I didn't see her, but she sent me a friend's request, so I know she's on here. Are the ones you mentioned, under a Bible Bee group? If so, what ones? Also, are you in a Bible Bee group?
I saw AstroLeah - I'm pretty sure she's the same AstroLeah as on Memverse. Then there's Matthew and Elizabeth Sinclair, and Octavius. I didn't see Rachel C, though. Where did you see her?
Neat! Who else is on here? I know that SBG, CH, Rachel C., you, Ben and that's all...who else do you know from Memverse and here?
It's fun seeing how many people I recognize from Memverse! Getting close to 10 people now.
Oh...hi, Bethany M :) Nice seeing you on here :)
Hi, Bethany P! This is RejoicingAlways(BethanyM) from Memverse. :D
Oh, neat, you moved us up :) Thanks.
Well, I don't know if this is official, so you might not want to mention it outside of your family...but I heard something that it was on June 12, a Wednesday afternoon. Did you all get an e-mail about it yet? -Bethany
Do you think you all will be coming to the Bible Bee Kick-off meeting next week? -Bethany
Thanks =) 12 more and we'll be to #3! hopefully, tonight :)
Well, it is just the 4th day into Bible Bee, so, technically, you don't have to have lots memorized. When are you trying to finish all your verses? I'm aiming for the end of the week :) hopefully, I'll be able to work on here some more. Any other sites that have helped you in Bible Bee? Challenges are nice, and since I'm kind of competitave, they are lots of fun for me! Hopefully, by the end of the week, we'll be #1 on the BB leaderboard :) -Bethany
No that's Joel he is my twin brother. No there are no others that I know of, in fact I was just about to ask you the same thing. I have not memorized many of the Bible Bee verses, so I probably will not be helping much more today, but by tomorrow I hope to have a lot more memorized, and hopefuly Seth will join soon to.I like the friendly chalenge of trying to memorze more than anyone else, and so I will probably have more memorized soon.
Ben
I'm trying to figure out which Walley you are...are you the one that looks like Seth? :) Uh...they have been talking about ST on the new Memverse Forums. Yes, I did notice that error. Any others that you know of? Oh, you're welcome...I just memorized 7 verses. By the end of the day, I hope to be way farther than that :) Yes, 1st place, is what I'm trying for! -Bethany
Do you know if there is any way to just edit a post on here?
Yes we are doing the Bible Bee this year. I haven't heard about Scripture Typer on memverse, What is it?
B.T.W. you may have noticed but on the 2 Timothy 3:16-17 There is an error, it says Competent, while the bible says Complete.
Ps Nice job bringing us up to 8th place, maybe once my brothers join we can get up to 1st place :D
Ben
Well, if they do, they can join our group! Also, are you doing Bible Bee this year? Did you hear about Scripture Typer on Memverse? Thanks for joining our Memvers BB MO group! -Bethany
I am the only one on Scripture typer currently, but most likely others will start using it soon.
And yes we do use the ESV.
Are any in your family on Scripture Typer?
I use ESV! I think that's what you all use to...right?
BTW What version are you using for the Bible Bee.
Hello Bethany.
I just joined today and I am just trying to figure out how to use it.
-Ben
Hello! Thanks for joiing @BenjaminWalley! Have you been on Scripture Typer for long? I just joined yesterday :)
