Do you read the Bible regularly?

No. -
Yes. 4 times a week for at least 10 minutes. Though I should do so more often.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)Comment

At least once a week, sometimes more (even a lot more).

The old testament has some amazing stuff in it.

I don't think cover to cover is the way to read it.

Cover to cover is the way it's meant to be read... gore, blood, guts

Best to read a subject/etc. You don't study physics by reading all the physics books straight, you pick out a few books on quantum mechanics or one bohr scattering, to learn about bohr scattering.Originally posted by MikeH View Post
I know that I am incapable of reading multiple books in the Bible that are right next to eachother (generally) and gain anything more than I would from reading a chapter by itself.
If I read things on the same subject, and that reference eachother, and so on... I gain a lot more.

I think he meant it is best to read the Bible in different order some times... after all, its a collection of books. It's like saying you read a collection of books about the History of the World cover to cover, when sometimes you just want to read about WW2.Originally posted by MikeH View Post“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

And you aren't going to additional gain insight about Hitler in WW2 if you read a bit about WW2 bombing, then a bit about aborigines in australia, then about aztecs, then about prussia, then about muscovites, then about the zulu... and so on.
It will be all diluted.
