Bible Discussion Thread

My husband is having difficulty understanding all of the scriptures as we read our Bible. Can someone suggest a book that may be easier for him to understand Gods word. I have to admit some of it goes over my head also.

Hi Carlos.

I agree with what you have been told by others, especially prayer throughout your reading for understanding.

And most important be sure you have gave your life to Christ. Wisdom and understanding is given by the Holyspirit.

Here's a verse that may encourage you.

James 1:5-8 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

This is a great site to visit for help.

God bless.

Pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit. When you study the Bible, always ask the Holy Spirit to Teach you what you are reading.

Carl64,

I cannot think of a single book that would explain every verse in the Bible. But, there are many fine commentators that can help guide you. I enjoy the teachings of Dr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio. For a verse by verse commentator I often turn to David Guzik of Enduring Word Commentary. He provides free resources that can be obtained in many ways. I am sure others will have suggestions also.

God bless

Hi CARL64 ,please dont get discouraged ,the Bible is a very big book full of information that no one could possibly remember it all or understand it all first or even second time around ,have patience with yourselves ,the more you read the clearer things become and you start to see the beauty and the love and the perfection and you just want to read more and more as you see it all fitting together so wonderfully ,take your time ,try to relax and enjoy it and dont fret if you dont understand something ,it will all get clearer as you go along .
