Which book in the bible is your favourite?

[Blessed-one]

because of the number of books in the bible, the poll options are shortened into OT and NT, so if your favourite book fell into the NT, please tick NT. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So which is your favourite, and why?

[Beauty4Ashes]

where is the poll? (edit) nevermind.....:P

[Blessed-one]

you posted while i was still making it. It's up there now.

[Beauty4Ashes]

lol :P

Phillipians is one of my fave books..but really I like them all....soo much good stuff in scriptures...hard to choose only ONE favourite. :)

[TrustNo1]

umm could you put an option saying both? cause i like all the books. the ot is interesting because the stories are sooooooooooooooooooooooo good and detailed. the nt is very good because of Jesus and revelations. i cant decide argh. meow

[Umbra]

Eph. and James are some of my favotire....but there are so many!!!

[Konnie]

I can't decide between the books in the OT and NT.

[Lucent]

To be honest, my favorite book is Jonah, but most of the rest of my well liked books are in the NT, so I went with the New.

[ShetlandRose]

Psalms, because J. Vernon McGee taught me that the Book of Psalms is the mind of God and condenses the entire Bible beginning to end into one book of the Bible. If you read it with that understanding, it is a resplendent writing.

ShetlandRose :angel:

[Mitch]

Revalation is my favorite book

[Shekinahs]

For me it's the book of Job. I like how God just speaks in Job. I think God speaks more in Job than any other book of the Bible. God showcases exactly who he is and what he does that truly makes him God. The book of Job truly requires you to bow down to God and worship him.

[biblebeliever]

The Book of John is one of my favorites.

[Kathy]

My fav. is Revalations.....Must of read through it many times.... Kathy

[msrene]

Psalms, Proverbs, Romans, and James would be my choices.

All of them are good - but those would be the first that I would look to read in if I wasn't sure where I wanted to read.

[GinooKo]

John and Luke

[TMAKA]

The old testament is just much more fascinating, although the new testament has some really good books in it, the OT overall is better...

[JunkyardGospel]

Ecclesiastes all the way! Probably because the book is so poetic. Reading it at first may be a huge downer, but the last two verses: "Here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and obey His commands, for this is the sole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, every hidden thing, whether it be good or evil." -(Paraphrased by JunkyardGospel) so elegantly explain how to avoid having a life filled with vanity. Coupled along with John 3:16, it is an excellent scripture.

[mesue]

whichever book I'm reading. They're all good.

Right now I'm in Psalms. I love the Psalms. I say that even when I'm reading John.

[Leader of the Banned]

Favorite book in the Bible? Yes.

[Jack_Racz]

Romans... Corinthians... Galations... 1st John... The Gospels...

I love it all :D

[GodsGrl]

I would have to say that the New Testament is my favorite because I love reading how Jesus did miracles!

[Sephania]

Genesis

[Snowy]

I like the New Testament books...but my favorite book of the Bible is Psalms

[wow]

I love the Gospels and all the poetic books of the Old Testament. Right now my favorite book is Job.

[JeffreyLloyd]

The Gospels.
Saint Paul's letters

1st and 2nd Maccabees

Also Psalm, & the book of Wisdom

[Big C]

ROMANS chapter 7

[Angeldove97]

New Testament all the way...its about my Lord Jesus Christ...my Savior and my Messiah!! lol I have been reading threw the Old Testament because it wouldn't be fair unless I had done so and I have a lot of insight and I think the Old Testament is very interesting, just I enjoy the message the New Testament is about. If I had to pick my favorite books in the New Testament, it would be a tie: Revelations and John.

[jeffs_girl_2004]

i can't decided which one is my favorite.

[357magnum]

I love many portions of the Holy Bible, but I must say that the New Testament is my favorite because the hope and faith of man in Jesus Christ is the primary topic.



I enjoy the writing of the Apostle Paul probably the most. The Apostle Paul reveals a mystery not known to men of other ages, Jesus Christ, HIM crucified, and the Gospel of God's Grace. I find Romans and Ephesians to be particularly beautiful in expressing the GOOD NEWS which is the GOSPEL OF GOD'S GRACE. God's matchless Grace and Love is made manifest in the GIFT of HIS Son, Jesus Christ, crucified on the cross in payment for our sins.



To me, this is the most joyous portion of the entire Bible. Jesus paid it all for you and me.



Thanks be unto GOD for HIS unspeakable GIFT!, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.



Love In Christ.

[†Neil†]

New Testament because it shows the works of Jesus. I like the Old Testament because of the awesome stories in it.

[jidujiao]

Job, Ecclesiastes, the Gospels, Romans, Ephesians, Philemon (it's just so nice and personal), James.

[ChristsChick]

I like the new testament the best, because I love reading about the life of Jesus, and about how his love has set me free. I think the old testament for me is a bit impersonal, because I'm reading about other people's lives, but in the new I'm reading and thinking 'he did this for me, wow!' and I just feel it talks to me on a more personal level. However the OT also has taught me some amazing things!

As for my favourite book, I would say have to say Ephesians or Philippians!

[bloodofthelamb12]

I'm gonna have to say Isaiah: just read a few of these verses:

- Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

- Isa 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

- Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Isaiah has inspirational verses, salvation verses, prophetic verses... it's like the Gospels, Psalms, Proverbs, and Revelation all wrapped up in one really cool scroll!

fly with Christ,
Caleb

[Adiel batKelev]

Leviticus, actually

[RVincent]

"The word "Testament", as a translation of the Greek word diatheke (which means covenant), has been nothing less than a great calamity; for, by its use, truth has been effectually veiled all through the centuries; causing a wrong turning to be taken as to the purpose and character of this present Dispensation, by which the errors of tradition have usurped the place of important truth.

The word "Testament" as s name for a collection of books is unknown to Scripture. It comes to us through the Latin Vulgate. This was the rendering in the older Latin Versions before JEROME'S time; but, JEROME, while using foedus or pactum for the Heb. berith in the O.T., unfortunately reverted to testamentum in his revision of his N.T. translation (A.D. 382-405). Some of the Latin Fathers preferred instrumentum, much in the sense of our legal use of the word (*1). RUFINUS uses the expression novum et vetus instrumentum (*2), and AUGUSTINE uses both words instrumentum and testamentum (*3).

From the Vulgate, the word testament passed both into the English Bibles and the German. The Greek word is diatheke, which means "covenant", and the R.V. substitutes this meaning in every place except two (Heb. 9:16, 17, on which see the notes). But even this word was never used as the title for the collection of books which make up the New Testament so called.

When these books were placed beside the books of the Hebrew Canon it became desirable, if not necessary, to distinguish them; and, as the then two Dispensations were already spoken of in Scripture as "old" and "new" (2Cor. 3:6. Heb. 8:6-13), so the books, which were connected with them, came to be called by the same names also.

In Ex. 24:7 and 2Kings 23:2, 21, we read of "the book of the covenant", and this distinction of the two covenants was already confirmed by 2Cor. 3:16, 14, where the Apostle speaks of "the reading of the old covenant".

The term "New Covenant" is indeed a Scriptural expression, but it is not used of a collection of books. It is used of the great prophecy and promise of Jer. 31:31-32:40 and Ezek. 37:26 (which is referred to in Heb. 8:8-12; 9:15-21; 10:15-18).

From here (http://www.angelfire.com/nv/TheOliveBranch/append95.html).

But to answer your question, I like Jeremiah. :)

[spirit_of_purity]

new testament!

[ThaKladd]

hmm.. it's allways hard to choose... but I'll go for Romans.

[Michaela]

I love reading Ecclesiastes...:)

[Alice the Sister]

I enjoy Job and Zechariah.

Job because it shows that humans are capable of being stubborn in a good way.

Zechariah...because it's like an acid trip. No offense...but it has some pretty messed up 'visions'....Yeah.

[Glorianna]

The whole Bible is good, but each book has its differences!

[AngelaD74]

:confused:

I havent read too many but I do like John, proverbs, and psalms

[mle]

James

[duhfur]

I love Galatians

[alfcantor]

I think the book of Psalms really rocks my world. I can really relate to David. Im a musician and I also write songs to the lord and like to dance and sing and shout in his prescence... Especially when I look back on my life and see how despite all the bad things Ive done in my life, God has still managed to forgive me.

[Roxa]

Ruth. It is such a romantic book.

[jeshohaia]

Psalm by far. Proverbs. 1,2 Samuel, 1,2 Kings, 1,2 Chronicle, Daniel, Genesis, 1st Peter, Mark, John, Matthew, Luke, Acts, 1 Corinthians, ROmans, etc... Thats my list.

[caitlincares]

I can not break it down to one book.
I like Paul's writings.
:angel:

[Tara]

The New Testament and Revelation is my very favourite.

[tqpix]

All of my favorite books are in the New Testament, but I can't choose just one.

[Spclone34]

My fav bk of the bible is Acts. For it tells how sinners must be saved.

[Molly7]

I can't decide which book, but I like the NT better than the OT.

~Molly

[mibashful]

i love the scripture phillipians 4:13

i can do all things thru christ who streightens me. i love this scripture cause i use it when im scared and i feel like im going to have a seizure cause its fear of the unknown that brings them on mostly. so i use that scripture alot and its saved me 2-3 times from having a seizure, so im an avid user of this scripture

[Bartimaeus]

because of the number of books in the bible, the poll options are shortened into OT and NT, so if your favourite book fell into the NT, please tick NT. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So which is your favourite, and why?
I'm torn between the book of John, probably my favorite Gospel, and t1 Corinthians because I love all the tings Paul has to say in there. There is so much for us (As Christians) to learn from in just that book. :)

[Texas Lynn]

I thought it was going to be about the individual books in which case I would have said Amos. since it's OT or NT I picked NT because of the Gospels.

[Bartimaeus]

I thought it was going to be about the individual books in which case I would have said Amos. since it's OT or NT I picked NT because of the Gospels.
Well, the poll itself was ot or NT, but you can post about your favorite books in this thread, from what I understand. :)

[TomUK]

Well i had to say OT. All of the bible is amazing, but the OT is longer, so therefore the OT must be my favourite. As far as favourite book though, that one's easy- Psalms.

[Blindfaith316]

I love the bible and all itsn contents, so I really couldnt decide! I love aspects of each, the prophecy in the old testament and reading as each are fulfilled and yet to be fulfilled, and the gospels, what could be better than God on Earth... its just, well, WOW! :)

[Arwen Undomiel]

Any time I read anything in the NT it speaks to me on a very personal level. My favorite book is probably Romans. This is not to discount the OT, it's definitely good to take the Bible as a whole.

[JCis4Me]

Romans is fav book

[Koolaly]

I think that Job is fantastic because it helps to put all of our pain and misery into context. Here is a man whose example we can follow. I know we are told to follow Jesus' example, but that seems impossible!! Realising the pain that Job went through helped me on a year abroad to get my own minute problems into perspective!!

Then there is Ecclesiastes which says it all so simply - Everything is meaningless, but for a relationship with God!! Awesome!!

[zoe_uu]

Ruth

[UberLutheran]

I don't read the stories in Genesis literally; but they're marvelous stories and they offer tremendous insights into the nature of humanity, and also of God's relationship with us.

And I may not read Job or Jonah literally -- but Job DOES why so often the righteous end up suffering while mean-minded @#$%s seem to get off scott-free; and Jonah shows that God DOES listen to people who are not of "the chosen faith" (which is what made Jonah so mad).

I'd hate to give up the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, or the lyric poetry of Psalms. And I do believe that Ezekiel and Jeremiah very neatly address the idols of today, e.g., "I'm right, so you're wrong," materialism, greed, disregard for anybody but oneself, etc.

Likewise, I'd sure hate to give up Luke/Acts; or theological monuments such as Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and James.

I WOULD like to see a lot of the emphasis taken off literal interpretations of the Book of Revelation. God ALONE knows when things are going to happen. We don't. Some of us won't be living at the end of the day, some of us may live in houses which are struck and demolished by tornadoes, most of us will have perfectly normal days -- and if we can't make THESE kinds of predictions, what makes us think that we're capable of figuring out the hows and whys of the End Times? In the meantime, there are plenty of people to feed, plenty of people who need clothing, plenty of sick people to visit, plenty of people who are alone, and/or mourning, and/or imprisoned who would really appreciate the visit. THAT'S what we need to be doing today -- not trying to figure out who "666" is (after all, we all know that it's either William Jefferson Clinton or George Walker Bush, depending on which political party we happen to belong to! ;) ).

[growingupinhim]

I enjoy all of it..EVEn when it says about Gods commandmnets..and if you LOVE me would you follow them! (1-3 John)

[TheDandyMan]

I really like the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. The time that they were written in is somewhat parallel to modern day, I think.

[GG_81]

Right now it's 2 Samuel because I'm looking a lot to David's life

[mnmcandiez]

I like the story od Samson

[Under_His_Shadow]

If I absolutely could only choose one book from each Testament, I'd choose:

O.T.= Psalms, because of it's words of personal encouragement, comfort, and high exaltation of God's sovereignty and loving condescension towards us.

N.T.= Romans, because it contains all of the most essential doctrines for our faith and living, that can be found in just one book.

[MissRowboat]

I love the NT.

Romans and James are my fav individual books.

[violetstar]

My favorite book is job, he suffers so much yet he still trust in GOD, then eventually he gets tenfolds back by never giving up on God and always trusting him.

[agnostic7]

all are complete *****

[agnostic7]

thats was post number 69 in the thread!

*zorp*

eat it, you christians!

[Pacigoth13]

my personal favourite is ecclesiastes. then psalms. the wisdom literature is the best for emotional understanding.
then study... the five gospels... q, mark, matthew, luke/acts, and john.
paul's letters are cool, even the ones he didn't personally write.
revelation would mean much more to people if we could learn to de-mythologise it.
---

[TheMainException]

Philippians. It has some great words of wisdom. I also like Ephesians. They are both some really great books.

[Spclone34]

My Fav Book of the Bible is:

Acts: It is the book about the birth of the church and how for us to come to God.

[LadyBird]

I honestly can't decide. I love both the OT and NT.

[waitsonthelord]

The book of John is one of my favorites!
The whole chapter; John 14

[pimorton]

My favorite is Ephesians, a lot of good stuff in there. I also have gotten a lot out of 1 Samuel through 2 Chronicles lately. Colossians is also up there.

[Centrifuge04]

I like the New Testament more because of Revelations

[HolySpiritWarrior]

My fave is Genesis. I love the stories of Abraham and of Joseph. My other faves are Ephesisans, Luke, and James.

[Michael713]

New Testament.

It involves the good news, Jesus' teachings, our salvation, and OF COURSE

it includes the most detailed description of the future/end of the world know to man.

But there's alot of good things in the Old Testament too.

[Krystina661]

New Testament

[Turkwoyz]

Revalation is my favorite book

[CZzyzx41]

Ephesians would be my favorite. There so many great books (well they're all great aren't they?) but there's something about that book in particular that has always stood out with me.

[PaladinGirl]

My favorite book of the Bible is Proverbs. It has tons of little nuggets of wisdom and that and I just enjoy proverbs and other such sayings anyway. It's kind of like a form of poetry that has useful wisdom in it.

[rua2j33]

The Gospels. Hard to choose one favorite.

[Lia]

There are a lot of books in the Bible that I like. But Psalm is the most favorite of all the favorites :)

[prettyrose436]

NT I like reading Romans and Matthew

[schwarzes_schaf]

OT: Psalms
NT: Luke

[signwonder]

FYI the OT is not a book and the NT is not a book so the poll choices are flawed, however, my favorite book in the bible is Proverbs. It has a chapter for you to read every day and then start over again. I still find insight that I haven't seen before each time I read in it. It is the book of the Bible that teaches the wisdom that we desire as christians.

[Telrunya]

While I enjoy the Old Testament I really get excited and reved up by the New.

[(*BrazilianGirl*)]

My Favorite: Psalms

[wakeboardwithheart]

deurteronomy(sp?) and 2nd samuel are my favorites but revalations is very close to that

[Trinity4Eternity]

there shouldn't be a favourite book in the Bible...it would be the same as asking, Which of Jesus' miracles did you like best

[Teacher]

Well, although my wife taught me a great love of the Old Testament and I can now see the full context between Old and New, I favor the New primarily b ecause of Paul's teachings on the Holy Spirit and church discipline and order.

[Picture.Of.Obedience]

i like Luke and Proverbs and Psalms, i am still working on reading the rest of the Bible

[update]

I Love the whole bible, I think that the New Testament is not complete without the Old, and the Old without the New. I strongly believe that the New Testament can only really be understood in its grandness, if there is a understanding of the Old first.

I do have a few favourite books in the Bible at the moment, all for different reasons.

1. Psalms - no book speaks to the soul of man like this book does. It is like worship in words. I love worship.

2. The Acts of the Apostles - full of excitement and great ways to put the gospel into action. You want to learn how to witness, read acts. I also love this book because it gives real examples of how people were saved, and how the church started where the epistles were written to the churches. A great book to explain salvation to someone from.

3. I and II Timothy - great wisdom for young ministers and second and further generation christians.

4. Isaiah - It really should be one of the gospels, it gives such a clear picture of Christ.

5. John - Reveals how real Jesus can be to an individual. Also explains in deapth who Jesus was, and how human he was, although he was fully God.

6. Proverbs - each verse can preach a thousand sermons.

Update

[aimejl]

Psalms is my favorite because it is poetry.

[Meggy]

I like Genesis because there are so many beginnings, laying the foundation (as it were) for the everything that follows. I also like John and there are some pretty good bits in between as well.

[CoCoChiCa33]

Umm I'd have to say Psalms because you can read it in any mood and it will make you feel better. It's what i read when im depressed lol.

[Benjammin]

John, Then Matthew

[lilchristiangurl]

revalations is my favorite book because its all pretty much diffierent prophecies

[Moros]

Job and Jonah. Excellent moral lessons in both.

[Athanasian Creed]

because of the number of books in the bible, the poll options are shortened into OT and NT, so if your favourite book fell into the NT, please tick NT. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So which is your favourite, and why?

I would have to say the Gospels because we have the recorded words of God in the flesh Himself:bow: It is interesting to see the various Gospel writer's account of Jesus life and the differences in style and emphasis. ;)



Ray :wave:

[DanielJamesSimon]

My favourite book is Romans, so I voted New Testament.

I love the Gospels, I love Acts, and I'm a hug fan of every one of Paul's letters (and Hebrews, whether that was Paul or someone else). He was so frank, concise, and brilliant. I love the epistles of James, John, and Jude. Basically every book in the New Testament is a favourite in its own way.

I love Genesis, as it is the foundation for the universe's origins. I love Psalms for the same reasons everyone does. I love Proverbs especially - it's probably my favourite Old Testament book. I love Ecclesiastes, too, probably only behind Proverbs. Esther and Ruth are lovely stories.

But eventually, if I did have to choose a favourite book of the Bible, it would be Romans, and largely due to Romans 10:9. I believe Romans is one of the main books explaining what the Bible means to us today as Christians, and how we should live as Christians.

[Big Mouth Nana]

I chose NT, but I should have chosen both. I like the NT because of course JESUS, and all that there is in there for the believer. I like reading Isaiah and the Psalms of David also. I can relate to David in a big way......GOD WHERE ARE YOU, MY SOUL THIRSTETH FOR THEEE, etc.

[stillblessed]

the New Testament,by far. my favorite is 1 corinthians,and then james chapter 3,i think it is,about healing,and praying. corinthians,because it discusses the gifts,and such.

[going_crazy_am_i_me2]

i love psalms and i also love 1 Corinthians, so its kinda hard for me to pick

[SuperSmart]

I love both books i can't decide

[Daisysqueaks]

I agree with several posts that say there are so many it's hard to decide.... I too said NT because of the fact that it's about Jesus' ministry but I am partial to Psalms and Ecc. I just can't decide! AHHH the pressure! LOL:confused:

[Gwynne]

The NT... can't decide exactly which book yet, but I know it's in the NT LOL

[Teddy Dandilion]

I said new testament

[Lebanese_forces]

New testament! For sure..

And specially : john's part.

[alexeeah]

Romans and hebrews I can't decide

[PrayerPointPerson]

I can't decide... the Old testament has good stories but can sometimes be boring, but the New testament is more intresting but can be confusing..I can't decide...my favortie book is Proverbs.

[brinny]

Psalms

[Bladecarver]

New Testament. It's like a blueprint for how we are to live our lives. Besides, I love Revelation. We know who wins.

[SandyLou]

OT - Eccelsiates
NT - hmmmm. . . . James and Luke

[sammipher]

I like reading the old test. But, my fave book is Eph.

[Izzy23]

OT ~ Isaiah
NT ~ Luke and Hebrews

[brinny]

I have several. Isaiah is one of them.

[Nevada77]

I would have to say the Old Testament (Genesis) is my favorite so far. It just shows God greatness in all it's glory. I have alot of reading to do still though, my mind could change.

Nevada :angel:

[brinny]

Hebrews is also one of my favorites

[Hisbygrace]

Although I view all of the books of the Bible as a guide for my life, the one that moves me forward the most is Romans. There have been quite afew times since becoming a Christian that the Holy Spirit has brought me to the Romans road to bring me to my knees and pick me up again.

[Bounty Hunter7]

Job.

[Richard]

Esther ..... Old Test.

[Archangel590]

I love proverbs and psalms

[brinny]

I also like Proverbs

[2Timothy2]

Psalms

I love the Psalms. They reach deep into my soul and drive me to worship my God. You gotta love that.

[yashuaskid]

My ultimate favorite has to be Revelation. It tells us about the end-days and is so descriptive.

[FreeGrace]

My favourite is Romans closely followed by Ephesians and of course the Psalms.Its so hard to pick one when all are so good.

[Highland Watchman]

Hm... That's a good question.

I would have to say it's a toss-up between Isaiah (as he had many relevant things to say, for all time), 1 Corinthians (which I believe has a lot for us to learn from as a church, especially here in North America), and Revelation (not because of any timeline or future events, but because of the relevance of its message and the beauty of its writing)...

[okiemommy26]

Old testament

[Neal]

Romans

[Maeyken]

I really like both Psalms and Acts, so I chose that I can't decide. But that is not uncommon for me. I am very indecisive!

[kyansk]

The book of John is now my favorite. John stuck with Jesus through thick and thin. I pray that no matter what God allows to happen in my life ...no matter how rough life gets...I will stick to Him like John did.

[aReformedPatriot]

1 timothy

[Saint2be27]

I'm partial to Matthew right now...it changes time to time.

[brinny]

Psalms is my favorite. I also like Proverbs, Isaiah, Micah, and Hebrews.

[eaglex]

The Book of Revelation is my favorite book espically the last 2 chapters.:D :wave: :preach:

[sictransitgloriamundi]

go the "Jude"
and the "Luke"
and the "Job"

[MooTipping]

Proverbs..they're spiffy

[revelation1115]

Why Revelations of course. :)

[Love&Pain]

My favorite book in the bible is: Matthew :)

[GeneralNewbie]

NO favs!

[xxRachaelxx]

I like reading the Psalms. My fav is Psalm 64...it just fills me with hope ya know?

[xjonx]

I like John, love love love love love love, even the little first second and third John's are filled with love love and more love. I like the symbolic language as well, "and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" :) I love the gospel message written so lovingly!!! love it love it love it!! amazing books, I love the whole NT, Romans is amazing also, Paul was one Holy Spirit filled WARRIOR for JESUS!!! passionate faith. xjonx

[Hadron]

I put NT because of the overall message, but I like Daniel in the OT the most.

[shadowed_eyes]

Revelation.... it has to be the most inspiring book in the Bible.

The telling of the Second Coming is truly amazing, and its my personl opinion that all other books pale in comaprisan.... not that i am saying that the other books are less important, because they're not (oh dear, im digging a hole arent I? *shuts up*)

[jcright]

Revelations...cause I know what will happen in the end.

[chris714ndud3]

between james and philippians

[JaneKaty13]

Isaiah, Luke, Phillipians and 1 Corinthians. Oh wait...Matthew too. :)

[AdJesumPerMariam]

I think the OT is truely fascinating! Plus, it leads to the NT!

[Artificial Intelligence]

Revelation

[Grammar_Guy]

All of them are amazing, but I would have to say James, just because his writing style is so intense.

[draconus71]

My all time favorate book is Mathew

[GodFlute2]

I'd have to say I've gotten more out of the New Testement.

[Wugster]

The New testaments accounts of Jesus are very interesting, but I love the Psalms of the Old testament as well.

[Rome]

Old testament

[CardinalBaseball]

How can it not be the New testament? I mean come on! It's got Jesus!

[mm1228]

New Testament, specifically Romans

[Praying4Peace]

This book supports many of my more progressive views.

Pacifism
If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 5:38

Be humble
Be careful not to do your "acts of righteousness" before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 6:1

This greatly affects my views the issue of school and other public prayer.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 6:6

Simple living leaves more time and money to help others.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where theives break in and steal. 6:19

I could go on and on....:)

[B®ent]

Pacifism

You mean like this verse? :)

Matthew 10:34

This greatly affects my views the issue of school and other public prayer.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 6:6

So, in your opinion, there should be no prayer in church? Everyone should just pray alone in their closets? I don't think that is what Christ was saying. He was probably talking about legalists like the Pharasees, who thought they were better than others because they were more "spiritual."

[MadeYouLook]

i like mostly nt but i love Proverbs so i went with couldn't decide,proverbs has taught me the most.

[Followers4christ]

New Testament.Revalation is my fav book.God Bless

[Swede]

Psalms, especially The Lord is My Shepherd. That one I pray every time I go to the dentist, for example :blush: :prayer:

[cygnusx1]

the one straight after Acts :D

[crusader4peace]

i would say both.

[Praying4Peace]

You mean like this verse? :)

Matthew 10:34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.



So, in your opinion, there should be no prayer in church? Everyone should just pray alone in their closets? I don't think that is what Christ was saying. He was probably talking about legalists like the Pharasees, who thought they were better than others because they were more "spiritual."

I don't believe this is the place to debate. I have sent you a PM in response to your questions.

[Devasha]

My favorite is Shir HaShirim (Song of Songs or Song of Solomon). I'm a romantic at heart, and I love the imagery in this book--picturing Yeshua as my Bridegroom. :kiss: :hug:

[autumnknight]

New Testament here. It is difficult to narrow it down to just one favorite book. I usually enjoy I Corinthians most when reading through the NT.

[evange]

I love the entire bible!

but I especially love philipians

[Godslilgurlalways]

I like ephianas and for some reason I use to love 3John the whole chapter something about it I do like psalms, and song of solomons , and acts,romans:)

[Christian_Babe234]

I like the book of Job.
In the bible Job was described as perfect. I am not perfect, but all I know so far is that Jesus and Job were the only perfect people in the bible.:wave:

[psalms34v1]

mine is psalms as you can see in my name

[newyorknewyork]

new testament :)

[allenwiththetalon]

definately New Testament

[gal4God]

New Testament

[B®ent]

There isn't enough appreciation of the Old Testament nowadays. Perhaps that is because many so-called "pastors" teach that the Old Testament is no longer relevant. :( Personally, I think there is more meat in the Old Testament than in the New Testament, because the Old Testament requires us to really put on our thinking caps. :thumbsup: (That is not to say I don't like the NT --- I do like the NT very much).

[deb7648]

psalms is my favorite as well

[B®ent]

psalms is my favorite as well

When narrowing it down to a specific book, I completely agree. :thumbsup:

[firestar]

Overall NT, but favourite book out of the whole bible would have to be proverbs

[SherryWilliams]

PROVERBS:idea:

[LavenderMoon]

can't decide

[diana_ch]

because of the number of books in the bible, the poll options are shortened into OT and NT, so if your favourite book fell into the NT, please tick NT. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So which is your favourite, and why?
I can't pick... The OT finds its fulfilment in the NT... it runs parralel... You find Jesus in every book in the OT...
But if I really had to pick, I'd say Isaiah and John.

[Stacey]

It's sooo hard to pick a favourite, as I'm sure everyone agrees with! So I'll pick 3 :D Pslams, Luke, Revelations.

[Mskedi]

If I had to decide, I'm pretty sure I'd go with Isaiah. It's a tough choice, though.

[day2day]

I like both.:)

[jbran555]

I don't think you can really say your favorite book is the OT or NT but I like the book Romans and Genesis. and John

But they are all good read them all!

[Deb456]

REVELATIONS...
It's the beginning of actually "seeing" the Promise!!

[Lake]

the NT. Probably because I don't understand a word of the Old.

[handmaiden97]

Ruth is my favorite book, 1&2 samuel are well loved as well

[Dark2Light]

I like Ecclesiastes; I can relate to it most. Proverbs is great too.

[ShanKaz]

I love the book of James!

[AngCath]

I could read and reread Ecclesiastes forever and ever and ever

[jul7246]

I voted "NT" because my life principle is in Romans 8:28. I also love Philippians, John, James, and PSALMS!(i know it's from the OT=)

[Godisgr8r]

I like the book of James a lot, but I don't know if I have a favorite one.

[AvgJoe]

I can't choose just one.

[Peaceman]

I like Job....Boy what that man suffered, and still came out a winner because of his faith

[lily_girl]

I voted OT because I love the Psalms although it's hard to say one book is my favorite because really the whole Bible speaks volumes to me!

[mattsmom]

I couldn't decide between Romans and Psalms. I love both of them.

[ChasingADream]

N T

[~SoLongSelf~]

I love the OT and the NT. It is just so hard to decide..

[Oblivious]

Song of Solomon is my favorite.

[newyorknewyork]

i actually really love psalms because they are like poetry and so easy to read and i find them easy to relate to :)

[reverendtim]

James- tells us that without good deeds our faith is a dead faith.
Ephesians-tells us that without love we are nothing.:preach:

[raineywife]

The Gospel of John

[smiledaily]

can't decide

[BonnieBee]

Psalms and James :) Phillipians and Colossians are pretty awesome too!

[KarenJoy]

i find it difficult to say because to me all the books in the Bible are special.

[Doradmer]

Overall Romans chapter 7.:amen:

OT Psalms and Proverbs.

[brinny]

psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah

[If Not For Grace]

I chose OT, because of the beginning--I think we all like to know something of our History--
& I'm alot like Kris Kristofferson--I wish I didn't know how the "story ends"..

[tanya88]

My favorite book is 1 John!!!!

[plum]

I like the entire Scriptures. they should not be broken up into pieces like "old" and "new"...

[BrileyAnne]

I said OT. I like the history and you can learn a whole bunch from it. I love the whole bible but would rather read OT.

[lyonguard]

The OT is a close second.

[mohawk]

I went with Genesis...It all starts there.

[AllForJesus]

It's all good!

[JesusFreak78]

The new testament is my favorite. Most of the books in the new testament are really good.

[SpiritedWoman]

1 Corinthians is my favorite book in the Bible. I like James too.
:angel:

[schwarzes_schaf]

luke is my favorite

[Kathryn13]

Ester

[jerek]

Revaltion is my favorite

[Scorcher505]

New Testament is filled with the good news and in general applies more to Christianity as it exists today

[On_Fire_4_God_Gurl]

Probably Esther

[krys4ever]

My favorite is Psalms from the old testament.

[Kirkhaven]

This is a tough one, but I voted for the New Testament. From there it gets even tougher...I guess I prefer the epistles of Paul the most.

For the Old Testament I like Genesis, and Proverbs the most.

[pumanator]

the psalms give me alot of comfort

[godzprincess]

I like the story of Esther

[gerianne1963]

Lets see I feel confined and restricted answering this cuz you cant have one without the other. So, here it is I love the little books on James. It is straight forward love, reproof and hope.

[Sethie]

New Testament!

Without it, I would be nothing...

Favourite is... Romans :)

[tansy]

Lots of great books in O.T. but my favourite in N.T. is the Gospel of John.

[NotAshamed]

Well if I was to pick a book The book of Proverbs in the OT because of daily teaches in daily living. In the NT it probably be the book of John. The teaching of who GOD is and the Agape love for us.

[eaglex]

The Book Of Revlation is my favorite book. It tells that everything will be ok in the end.:thumbsup:

[Jade22]

I love psalms also love corinthians for me a hard chioce between the two. Past or present. You cannot have a present without a past. So I say both.

[PixieSunbelle]

I just have favorite stories...lol
I love Psalms because I love poetry
I also love the story of Esther

[tred]

Definitely New Testament here.

[VictoryNGrace]

Psalms also and Issaiah to.. I do have a few favorite verses to that I do keep on my heart and keep them always when I am over-whelmed..

[AnimalMother]

OT i'd say, for it being more interesting from my personal point of view.
