Reading through the Bible Chronologically in 2009
I would like to invite anyone who would enjoy reading and commenting on a journey through the Bible chronologically. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a running, living, and active commentary by a community of believers going through the scriptures together?
The proposed plan for reading through the scriptures chronologically is here, and can be subscribed to via Email, Rss, and the like.
Yesterday's scripture was Genesis 1-3, and today's is Genesis 4-7
If you have a comment on either passage and those going forward forward please feel free to comment. Also, if you think this endeavor would be better suited in it's own group please say so and I will create one. Also, if you like the idea of reading and commenting on this together, please take some time to add me as a friend.
Blessings,
Miguel

I just started the Discipleship Journal one year reading plan which goes more or less chronologically. I just finished Gen. 1-6. I do the DJ reading plan every other year. In between, I read whatever God leads me to. I'm looking forward to some good conversations.

Tom,
Thanks for the response. I think in addition to reading, we will be listening through as well. Hope a few more folks will jump on board.

Miguel,
I'm game.
I will be apart of a Bible Study the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month which will be going through the Bible chronologically. It will finish with Revelation in December. The individual facilitating has been doing this same study for years. Hopefully I can share some from that study with whomever through this forum.
I would like for us converse/discuss a bit if at all possible. I would like to hear from all. The more the better.
This is going to be great!

The last thing I want to do is put unneeded pressure or false conviction on anyone for not doing their daily reading, so feel free to skip, go back, or comment on anything as the Lord leads and I am sure we will be able to keep up.
That said, as I was considering Genesis 1-3, It struck me that God spent so much time telling Adam what he could have and could do and very little time telling him what he couldn't or wasn't allowed to do. Yet it seems, to me at least, that many, when introducing others to God have it backwards. The church seems to focus more on "now that you are a believer, here is a list of no no's."
"Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!" rather than grab on to God and don't let go till you are blessed. "Don't walk on the grass," instead of sit at the feet of Jesus.

I'll join in. I'm planning on doing two plans now (including this one); wow! "What am I getting myself into?!" ha ha....
Hey, just my thoughts on Genesis....
It says that the "fear and dread of" man came upon the animals and God also gave them into our hands for food (while before the flood human kind was supposedly all vegetarian and I'm supposing the animals too). Genesis 9:2
Now here's an interesting thought... It's also written in 1 John 4:18 that "there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear" so can we say then that the animals were also filled by the perfect love of God, but since man fell, that love has been lost so that now the animals were filled with fear?
Its also written in Romans 8:19-25 that the whole creation groans for our adoption as God's sons. Why? Isn't it already done? Hmmm, maybe not... and maybe also as proof is that fear still remains in the animals; perfect love hasn't been revealed yet!?
I have a few other interesting thoughts on other Genesis scriptures, but I'll wait to post those later, perhaps.

Interesting that there were clean and unclean animals before Moses received and wrote out the law...
Convicting for me personally... is the part where Noah gets drunk. Regardless of the father's behavior, two of the sons honored their father (another law that Moses hadn't written yet but God had given?), one disrespected him. A hard lesson for children of alcoholics (or whatever)... to honor our parents even when they act dishonorably.

Tammie, Claudia
That verse about honoring Noah has always challenged me to realize that I am angry THAT dad is an alcoholic, not angry AT dad the drunk.
Today’s verses: Job 1-5
I do Biblical storytelling with Job all the time. Patients see themselves in the suffering and ask what it is about. Despite this, taking time for a fresh reading has shown me new pastoral connections.
I noticed in 2: 10, Job says that he receives both good and evil from God. It struck me what a Jewish view this is, having recently taken care of a Jewish patient and sharing his views with him. It was more of a view of a God who created and now reigns supreme at a distance, leaving man responsible to deal with things. Nevertheless, God is glorious and due the honor.
Wow- 2: 16 speaks of how the stillborn child never suffers through life. I’ve gone to those calls many times and the family is comforting themselves by saying that. Now I can back them up by reading that scripture.
So, Eliphaz is “blaming the victim.” Looking at Job’s outer condition, Eliphaz wonders what God is correcting in Job’s inner condition. Boy, don’t we jump to those hasty judgments all the time? Don’t we see folks begging on the corner and think like Eliphaz, “I bet they are drunks, druggies or lazy.”
