Underlining the Bible
Many people, I judge, carry Bibles, dog-eared, underlined, circled and commented about in the margins, for whatever reason I will not judge, to possibly make it appear they are devoted re-readers of the Word.
I could never do it. I used sticking, colored transparent bookmarks of various colors. Green tipped for strong verses for remembrance, gold to highlight the very most vital verses of all. I also used colored round dots to catch my eye for my favorite verses, etc.
Once a pastor asked to see my Bible, that I had with me. He studied it, I thought, obviously looking to see how dog-eared it was.
If you read it all, often marking it up, it is not long before everything is underlined and nothing is highlighted, or even recalled, in my view.
In any event, I respect my Bible, most especially my reading Bibles, and said nothing. Neither did he.
