They add up on you over time like that. That's why it is a good idea to stick to one or two verses per day so you don't get overwhelmed. If you ever find a day where you don't have time to do all of your reviews, focus on the newer ones first. I find that once you get past a month interval on a verse, it is usually not a big deal to let a review sit for a day or two when life interferes.

I apologize for my first comment. I see now that I should have given more context. Sometimes what I mean and what I say don't always match each other.

I agree that the Bible is divinely inspired. I also agree that it is "innerant," if you mean that it does not have any errors when rightly interpreted within the period it was written. In other words, "what did this mean to the people it was written to" and "what does that mean for me today?" If by "innerant" you mean "does not contain any errors," then I would have to disagree. My background of study is Biblical Greek and Hebrew, and when you look at the ancient manuscripts themselves you find that there are over 200,000 copy errors and misspellings in the Bible due to the conditions of which they were copied. Considering that there are over 25,000 known copies (or fragments of copies) in existence today that have survived the ravages of time, it is not surprising that there were errors in them. These errors, however, do not take away from the authority of the Bible. To be honest, the existence of errors in the manuscripts are a good thing, because only works of fiction have no errors in them. That is the work of the translators: to look at all the copies (there are no originals) to determine which one is most accurate and thus inspired by God. And that is the key, really: divine inspiration. If we have enough faith to believe that God raised a person who was both fully God and fully man from the dead to save our souls from eternal damnation, then believing that the Bible we have now is exactly the book we needed it to be to receive that salvation is relatively easy in comparison.

While my original point was simply saying that verse conflicts cause memory collisions, I would like to add some context to my comment. I certainly don't want to ruffle any feathers, but the fact remains is that we don't know exactly how many authors there are that contribute to Proverbs due to distance and the ravages of time. The book identifies itself as a collection of "proverbs of Solomon", but in the Ancient Near East it was common for a book to have a person's name attached as the author (due to name recognition) without the person actually contributing to it himself. In fact, linguistic studies of the book show that some of the individual proverbs directly correspond to similar proverbs (sometimes almost word for word) written at different periods of time. For this reason, scholars identify up to five authors depending upon who you ask. Perhaps that's why you get conflicting scriptures like Proverbs 26:4 (Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him) and Proverbs 26:5 (Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit). Of course, it is also easy to say that those verses indicate that answering or not answering a fool is situationally dependent. To be honest, it doesn't matter who the author(s) was, because if it found its way into the book, it is authoritative and useful to both the Jews and the Church. Likewise, even if it has verses that are found in other works of wisdom at the time, that just indicates that a similar set of wisdom existed in that area, and either the Jews adapted it to the God they served or the surrounding nations adapted it to their own cultures.

It also doesn't help that since they were written by different people, they sometimes conflict with each other. That being said, I still love Proverbs.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It is clear to me that those who type one letter per word have an entirely different experience than those of us who type out the whole word.
