On becoming more acquainted with the word of the Bible, I began to understand so much more of what I had been taught, and of what I had learned about life and about the people in mine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
By the time I went to college, I knew the major passages of the Bible pretty much by heart.
I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.
My whole life, I had been taught to read and study, to seek understanding in knowledge of history, of cultures.
I learned so much about life and other human beings - then about myself.
From a very young man, I learned the importance of believing in Jesus Christ, and I have all my life.
I like reading my bible, I like bible studies where I get together with others and talk about the word of God and how it relates to us and how we can change to become more like him.
Scripture has always been a part of my life. My dad was a pastor. My mother was a speaker, writer, and teacher. I memorized Scripture from the time I was little.
Liberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth.
I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.
When did I learn the Bible? When I was four or five years old. It's still the pull of my childhood, a fascination with the vanished world, and I can find everything except that world.
