Marking in your Bible

I have used an ink pen before.

 

SaggyWoman??? Ink????
This action is unheard of!
Citizen's Arrest!!

 

I don't know if it's just that I cannot do a well enough job of explaining myself or I have been misunderstood.

I know we change after we are saved and become a new creature in Christ Jesus.
I know that we are commanded to take up our cross and follow Christ daily.
I know I am indebted to Him because He saved little old me.
I also know that my salvation was not obtained through my works, but it was a gift.
Gifts are free the last time I checked. I didn't have to do anything to earn my salvation. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Yet the argument that has been presented by SFIC is that salvation itself came with a price. IT DID NOT! It was a free gift.
If you still want to insist I'm wrong after this post, I'll shake the thread off the bottom of my feet and enjoy other postings on the BB. :wavey:

 

Then you do not believe denying ungodliness and worldly lusts is a price we must pay because of Salvation?

If we have no price to pay after Salvation, then we can give in to the flesh to steal, kill, commit fornication, extortion, etc., any time we so desire and still be guaranteed eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I am sorry, my friend, but I cannot buy that.

Shake the dust if you wish, but I do see a price we must pay ourselves.

 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me where I ever implied there was no price AFTER salvation to pay!!!

That has been my point!

Look at my last post!

 

I have used ink pen, fountain pen, pencil, occasionally a highlighter and a Crayola "Twist-Up" colored pencil in my Bible.


The sacrifice that SFIC refers to is AFTER receiving the Free gift of Salvation, is it not?

 

Yes, that is after Salviation. But regardless, it is a price.

 

I've noticed that this thread keeps tending to drift way way off the topic of the OP. If this contiunes it will cause the thread to be closed.

 

Are you making fun of me?:tongue3:

 

Marking is not bad
As long as it does not bleed
Highlighting can help!

 

And no ink pens. :laugh:

 

wrong thread. rofl

Amy G.,

I actually have a KJV that I bought at a Dollar General that cost only $10.00! It's large print, to boot! It is made with regular paper, so ink doesn't bleed through. It's not made with the nice bible paper you'll find in the "costlier" bibles. Naa naa naa naa boo boo!!

It's not the "nicest" bible you'll find, but for 10 bucks, it's a steal!!

 

Well ok. I guess I'll let you use an ink pen in it then. :laugh:

That large print is nice, isn't it? :thumbs:

 

Amy,

Broadman-Holman makes a SUPER GIANT print bible that is either 16 or 18 font size! It is one notch below box car lettering!:laugh: I have bought a couple for my dad, he is far sighted, and it's easier for him to read. My wife and I bought one for my father-in-law last CHRISTmas. He really likes his,too. They cost a little over $50.00, plus tax....quite cheap considering the quality of this bible. My dad first started marking in his bible LONG before I did...I used to consider it borderline blasphemy if anyone marked in their bible, but I now see how it makes it better for me to study His word!!

Wow! That is big print! I'm not ready for that yet, but probably not far from it! :laugh:

My husband won't mark in his Bible either. I have never had a problem with it. I figure marking is fine with the Lord if it helps me learn.

 

I have been 'inking' my Bibles up for years and I have yet to see any bleeding. Ya'll must be buying the more expensive Bibles with the super thin pages. The cheap ones I buy don't have that problem.

 

1. I use a fine point pencil for my Charles F. Stanley's edition of the NASB95, wide margin and two ribbons, with no references or study notes, so I have to write a lot.

2. But no ink.
