You fellows are all “introverts” — meaning learners,
I am an “extrovert” — meaning sharing.
You can become an “extrovert” following these rules.
1. Buy only Interlinear Bibles.
2. Choose the Bible with the most “white” paper for notes.
3. Begin at the beginning.
4. Letter all names of the Gods, A, B, C, D, E.
5. In the margin identify the real name of God; for instance MYHLA = [plural] Gods – Gen 1.1 and 2,492 Xs..
LA = [single] God. 395 Xs.
6. HLA = God of Her (H), or Goddess. 92 Xs.
7. HWHY = He Is. Relating to HYHA = I Am.. 6,735 Xs.
When you get done — give it away!

1. Iesous = Iesous 977 Xs..
2. Christos = Anointed.490 Xs.
3. “brimstone” = holy God.18 Xs.
4. “Deity” = holy God.
5. “baptism” = dipping.113 Xs.
6. “inherit the earth” – Mt 5.5 = inherit name (ONOM) of earth.
7. “mansions” = “alone.”
8. “barbarian” = “son of burden”
9. “Peter” = “Rock.”
10. “Cephas” = “Rock.”
11. “Christ Jesus” (53 Xs) = in anointed [Body] of Iesous.”
This is from the deep Dark Ages and is in all translations including NLT & ESV.
When you get done — give it away.

Other chapters include; Why Study the Bible?, Can We Study the Bible for Ourselves? and ten points on How to Study Your Bible for All Its Worth. Part 2 shows How to Avoid Common Mistakes, and even includes a Daily Bible Reading Schedule that you can begin on ANY day of the year!

I just though I’d pass that on to you for what it’s worth.

I do the exact same things. If a passage encourages or corrects me, I underline it. If it is a great passage I put a star out beside it or use parenthesise. Only rarely do I highlight because I have had problems with bleedthrough.
Thanks for the post! Grace and peace!

Neither is my wife…perhaps they should get together and swap stories.

Sorry, she’s not into blogging. That’s my excuse anyway. But it’s true.

Any funny stories she would be willing to share would be great. Should she start her own blog?

I think I heard my name.

You could ask my wife about this stuff. She’d tell you about it after she gets done laughing (lovingly) and rolling her eyes.

Oh, I’m not the OCD, I rarely take notes and all I do is underline. No color coding here, although I have tried. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Ask Jeff, I gave him nightmares because of how disorganized my system was.

Lopez,

I have another award for you seeing your massive case of OCD on Bible scribble – the Anal Retentivity Award. You deserve it, brother.

Actually, it’s nice. When I was in seminary, I had a pastor tell me, “Take notes like it’s part of a message.” Since that day, it’s red ink for the message and a yellow highlighter for the verses. It’s always helped me, and not too mention, it’s always feng shui with color coding and monochromatic messaging.

Good times, indeed.

Peace,
HiScrivener
