TSR Christian Society

I'm following the daily reading chart in my Bible which takes you through the OT and NT at the same time. Some of the things written in the OT seems really harsh and undermines the 'all loving' God which I try to believe in. Does the NT in some ways take away some of the barriers stated in the OT eg. chosen people etc?

I went to leave you a visitor message, but I couldn't

I was just gonna say good choice of pic in your sig!

Thanks, sorry maybe that privacy setting is a bit too much, I've changed it now

only because your sig told me to post

how are you? Nice to meet you also, don't think I've said hi before!

Good thanks, nice to meet you too
Just felt like taking a read through this thread for a bit and see if I could find any good advice etc

I feel socially dead again. All I seem to be doing is work



It seems I have only chosen one.

Oh wow. I wish that wasn't so true. More tea, I think...

Can you ever work with others?

Erm, I have some group projects, yeah, but we don't have group study or anything.

I think I work best alone/on TSR

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But who ever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

I just got this passage on my daily bible app on my phone and I thought it was a great passage. It pretty much represents the entire life of being a Christian. Knowing the word, but also living by it. I find it easy to slip out of being a doer and simply forget who I was before my faith and who I should be. But I think its passages like this that remind me of what I believe, of the love, the salvation and blessings a God like ours has. Hope others are persevering in their God life

I love my daily bible app on my phone =D easy way to make sure i start the day with a bit of bible reading!

I know, it gives me some encouragement when I need a quick word from scripture. Also, it makes me feel like I've read the Bible on those days of drought in my reading

I've also got the entire bible on my phone, which means I can do a sneaky bit of bible reading whenever i get a free moment! although at the minute I am just reading Mark in circles in a desperate order to learn everything needed for Mark Drama

Your triangle above reminded me of this:



^ Currently my life I'm not getting any of them lately

You do the IB, you silly person!

I did the IB twas stupidly stressful.

Yea same, I take it everywhere and annotate and stuff on it. I sometimes get some wary looks from the elders in one of my more traditional churches, when I'm annotating on it in church, because they don't realise its my phone Bible
