How many reference books or research books have you re-read.
But the Bible isn't a reference or research book, it's a story book.
And once you know how a story ends, what's the point in re-reading it?
lol. The Bible is a reference book, a research book, an instruction manual, a history book, a book about the future, a study in ethics, it's a science book, a dissertation on the Creator of mankind, it is a numerical code, a computer code, a love story........
That is why it is necessary to read and reread the Bible, and pray for understanding before you do. And still you won't get through all of the layers it contains, before you meet the Author.The Bible code for instance, can be researched by anyone that has a computer and a Hebrew dictionary. That code is contained in the Torah.
The thing that intrigued me about the code was, not only were major events throughout history and into the future documented, but lesser things. An Israeli soldier came up missing and the Bible code gave them the location of his body. Other people have found their genealogy in the code. That makes me wonder if the Bible is the Book of Life that Christ opens.
There are large groups of people that feel the same way about the Star Trek tv series and movies.
A lot of people desperate to find meaning in life. Simple answer..There is none. Just scammers praying on the weak minded. You stand a better chance of finding "heaven" in the purchase of a powerball ticket.
