Thanks all. I have enough points to get into heaven now! ;)

congratulations on yet another milestone!

WOW!!!

👍😇 Well done. Your zooming past everyone. It'll be my turn soon. 🙃

Thanks all. I have enough points to get into heaven now! ;)

I use Learn Scripture for the same reason, not so much to be able to recite the verses, but to meditate on Scripture in a deeper way than simply just reading the Bible. But memorisation should hopefully come and yes, I'll pray that you'll be able to memorise more verses next year. :)

That's a lot of verses! Well done.

Thanks joosep. Yes agreed. I do hope to continue to learn at least one new verse every day.

Nicely done! This is one of the best badges, in that it shows a day to day consistency in moving forward with the Word of God.

Thanks joosep. Yes agreed. I do hope to continue to learn at least one new verse every day.

Yes, me too :)

Thanks JDJDJD, I am, and it goes without saying that I'm also learning so much that I didn't know!

Thank you joosep. And on you too!

congratulations on two milestones, this one and the one thousand verses started! God's blessings be upon you.

Thank you joosep. And on you too!

Both of those are quite an achievment! Well done. I'm sure you will be being blessed in the process. :)

Thanks JDJDJD, I am, and it goes without saying that I'm also learning so much that I didn't know!

I simply don't know all the things I don't know! :) But levity aside, I agree that I'm learning new things all the time about the Lord by using this site.

Thanks Peter. That's good. I'd prefer it to go back into the cycle if I don't know it that well, and lately I've only been adding passages rather than single verses. So, it seems Learn Scripture will work it all out for me! :) :)

Thanks for that joosep! I hadn't read that. Well, if I do eventually learn the whole Bible, or at least the whole NT, I might think about learning it all again. Just for the points. ;) But seriously, as JDJDJD indicated, there may be a need for further revision with certain verses.

Thank you joosep :)

Thanks again. And JDJDJD, 84% is not too bad though! But maybe it comes off your "memorised verses" and you have it up for learning more frequently again? Not sure how it all works.

Thank you 5ptcalvinist. :)

Thanks all, however, many of these points were gained because I hadn't learned my verses well enough! I do hope to have them memorised eventually. :)

Nice!

Good job!

I blinked, and you zoomed past me! (No hard feelings, I was well prepared for this day... :-) ). But seriously, congratulations on the faithfulness you have demonstrated in learning a little every day over such a long time now. May the Lord bless you through the word he has spoken to you.

Great job!

Zooming is certainly the word! Well done for your commitment. I hope you get as much from learning scripture as I do. God bless :)

Keep learning as unto the Lord.

I'm sure you're doing better than you think. I've had some verses on the go for nearly 3 years and just can't get them into my head at all! I've just revised one now from 3 years ago and still got only 84%! 😕

Thanks again. And JDJDJD, 84% is not too bad though! But maybe it comes off your "memorised verses" and you have it up for learning more frequently again? Not sure how it all works.

I'll add to the crowd my best wishes and prayers that God draw you close to Him.

Thank you joosep :)

Annette, I would just like to clarify that at this link http://learnscripture.net/review-schedule/ it says "...the gaps will keep increasing, until the verse is considered fully learnt after about 1 year, at which point it is retired and not tested any more.". So once verses are fully learnt, there's no more testing; unless I suppose one wanted to reset them and start again the learning process :)

Thanks for that joosep! I hadn't read that. Well, if I do eventually learn the whole Bible, or at least the whole NT, I might think about learning it all again. Just for the points. ;) But seriously, as JDJDJD indicated, there may be a need for further revision with certain verses.

Congratulations, Annette. You zoomed past me too!
And another point about fully learning verses: I have noticed that a completed verse does get retested, if it is part of a longer passage that you start. Then if you don't get it over 90% or so, it goes back into the cycle again. (Like JDJDJD, I have several verses from over 2 years ago that I never seem to get quite right!)

Hi PeterP, thanks for that clarification! It's good to know what's ahead :)

Thanks Peter. That's good. I'd prefer it to go back into the cycle if I don't know it that well, and lately I've only been adding passages rather than single verses. So, it seems Learn Scripture will work it all out for me! :) :)

joosep, you don't sound crazy at all, just super organised.

That's a lot Robinshe, I didn't realise. I may be able to finish the NT before I die, God willing. That's if I don't keep adding OT passages!

And graetzmi23, thanks for letting us know about that page. Very helpful :)

Yes, I understand what you mean joosep. And even though I have been a Christian for many years, there are so many things I have never known, or actually taken in, regarding who He is (of what is revealed to us through Scripture).

I haven't added Daniel or Revelation yet. Perhaps I should! I am getting a little mixed up with the letters - as to which verses are in which letter. I guess it doesn't matter too much about that though. Daniel and Revelation really would be good to learn, in fact the whole Bible would be good to learn! Hmmm.

Thanks joosep & Robinshe, I ran out of verses to practice today! Just added a few more though. I must say I'm enjoying learning the gospel of John most of all out of my selection.

keep up the good work, AnnetteCN!

Well done AnnetteCN!

Thanks joosep & Robinshe, I ran out of verses to practice today! Just added a few more though. I must say I'm enjoying learning the gospel of John most of all out of my selection.

I'm enjoying the gospel of John a lot, also. It truly helps in knowing the real Jesus better. By that I mean, understanding better who He truly is. But I'm also enjoying Daniel and Revelation, so I guess I'm enjoying "too many" if that's possible :)

Yes. Once again it seems your experience is similar to mine. I have to strike a balance between my desire to learn and meditate on more of God's Word, and the necessity of not adding too many verses, so that the review queue does not at some point become unmanageable.

I added Daniel because I was working on Matthew 24, and in one particular verse it mentions what was spoken by the prophet Daniel; so that motivated me to start learning Daniel, and it is really blessing me. Daniel was an excellent role model for us, in every aspect of his behavior. I'm learning Revelation because ... as I'm sure it's obvious .... the times we live in motivate me to understand Revelation better.

Have a good day!

I just wanted to add, what my strategy at this point is, is to add two verses per day. On any day when I don't have much to review, I'll practice my verse sets over at scripturetyper.com. This way I hope to get my memory of the verses to be more accurate. I've noticed, as have you, that when the small boxes turn into one box per row, testing is a lot harder. I also like the variety of using different kinds of testing such as the kind here as opposed to such at scripturetyper or at Memverse.

Annette - I am also surprised at how often I am discovering completely new things reading the Bible in this way, even though many of the passages are familiar from before. Joosep - are you working your way through all of Daniel, or just the part about Daniel?

Hello Robinshe, it's nice to speak to you again. :) I plan to eventually work my way through all of Daniel, but it will take some time. At the moment I am adding two verses a day. I focus on two particular chapters (at the moment Daniel 2 and Romans 3), and then when I complete those, I will start two other chapters in the same way, choosing from a number of Bible books I have in rotation. So, how long it will take me to complete Daniel will depend on how often I choose Daniel from that list of Bible books. I'm using an Excel spreadsheet to keep myself organized, and at the moment it will take me until sometime in 2021 to complete the task (completing all the Bible books on my list). Some people probably think I'm crazy ... but I like the idea of mixing short term and long term goals.

Without having set a specific date in mind, I think it would be a cool thing to have learned the entire New Testament. Which seems like a very ambitious lifelong goal - until I checked how many verses there actually are: only about 7500! So both of you guys have already learned the equivalent of over 10% of the whole NT!! We´re on our way!

Yeah, I've always thought like that too Robinshe. I keep this page bookmarked so I can figure out estimated completion times and things like that: http://www.deafmissions.com/tally/bkchptrvrs.html

It's nice to have a conversation with like-minded people. :) This morning, I feel very grateful to know that God is real and that He gives wisdom to those who seek Him. "There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries ....." Daniel 2:28, Daniel speaking to Nebuchadnezzar.

Well done!!

Thank you 5ptcalvinist. :)

Thankyou joosep and JDJDJD, and God bless both of you guys too!

God bless you as you keep moving forward!

Amen!

Thankyou joosep and JDJDJD, and God bless both of you guys too!
