Robinshe started learning Luke 1

Does this mean you can celebrate learning all John?

Does that mean you're going to start memorizing the whole of Luke? I'd better make my chapters public before you get there!

For the statistically curious, Luke has 1,151 verses, the most in the New Testament! Acts has 1,007 and Matthew has 1,071. http://www.deafmissions.com/tally/matthew.html

You caught me cheating! (sort of). I have 11 verses left in all of John, but yesterday was a busy day, I needed my one new verse, but the 11 verses left are buried deep in Chapter 19, and I didn´t have time to review my way all the way through to get a new one, so I started Luke instead! No, I´m not planning on doing all of Luke (yet), but I was wondering what to do after John and decided that at this time of year, just the first two chapters of Luke might be appropriate (although I had´t realised the first chapter was so long). That gives me time to think about what to do next. Probably James, just for a complete change of scene. Will let you know when I finally get my 11 verses finished!

Very interesting!

I know the feeling, Robinshe, although probably not quite as bad as with some of those really long chapters in the gospels. Do tell us when you're finished learning!

For some reason I find John's writing easier to learn than others. I really struggle with Paul's writings. Interested to hear where you'll go after John. Well done for sticking with John until the end (almost!)

Interesting, JDJDJD. I have tried to learn a bit of everyone so far: some of Paul (Romans, Colossians), James, Peter (1 Peter) and now doing John (1 John). I have found James to be the easiest, followed by Paul, followed by Peter followed by John. John has a very unique vocabulary whereas I found Paul and Peter to be quite similar.

While several people are gathered here, I'd like to apologize for something. I'm probably filling up your news stream with news about me learning new sets. It's because I originally created small sets of each chapter with titles. I abandoned that method and cancelled them, but now I want to go back to the smaller sets to aim for greater accuracy and something a little closer to actual memorization. The thing is, all those sets I originally created as public, and now that can't be undone, so every time I choose to learn one of those sets again, it appears on your news stream.
