Bible Reading Poll
I think it’s about time to change polls, so here are the results of the last one:
What is your most common reason for reading the Bible (i.e. the one that causes you to spend the most time reading)?
| Selection | Percentage | Votes |
|---|---|---|
| Devotional | 23% | 8 |
| Guidance for a specific personal situation | 6% | 2 |
| Ethical guidance | 3% | 1 |
| Learning correct doctrine | 14% | 5 |
| Hearing God speak | 40% | 14 |
| Historical or technical interest | 9% | 3 |
| I don’t read the Bible | 0% | 0 |
| Other (please comment) | 6% | 2 |
| 35 votes total | ||

to find out how to do good. Not that I am
good, but I want to know what is
“biblically good”.
Joh 5:29 NETB … the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.

I ticked hearing God speak, but to be more correct I would add ‘as man understood at that time and place’

“What is your most common reason for reading the Bible (i.e. the one that causes you to spend the most time reading)?”
For its poetry.
I was interested in how many chose “hearing God speak” and I wonder how many of those would agree with the second comment made by Mark Thompson.
