Bible Discussion Thread

Thanks for this free Holy Bible on-line. Thanks for the information about spelling. Does misspelling or spelling have to do with being Catholic?

Really appreciate the section on how to be a Christian.

Much love in Christ Jesus,

Kristen, Sorry no one responded to your post. I don't quite know what you mean by the spelling question. As an elementary teacher, I will say that spelling needs to be explicitly taught as it was when I was young, for people to be able to consistently spell words correctly. In today's education system, spelling is not emphasized as much as it was in the past. Therefore, some people are more naturally drawn to be good spellers and others not as much. It does depend somewhat on exposure to reading many words and spending time actually putting words down in writing. When one reads much, one will automatically remember how to spell words as a whole word and not sound by sound. This is like your brain taking a picture of the word and then your brain shows you the whole word to spell. Other times, one may try to spell a word sound by sound using phonetic rules to spell the word. As we get older, we usually spell words by the picture in the brain method.

Hope this helps.
