This is a question I got from one of my freinds, and I want to know what other people think. Is it okay for Christians to read the commentarys and not the Bible? I think probably no, but I wondered if anyone else thought otherwise.

I would say reading the Bible is very important for Christians. Otherwise they are just taking someone's word for it rather than seeing it for their own self. That and God does instruct His followers to read the scriptures.

Reading the Bible is very important. Granted, commentaries can be very helpful (I particularly like the MacArthur Study Bibles), but you need to read what the Bible to know what it actually says.

Yeah, Lazy people. except most of the comentaries are like three times bigger then the actual Bible. I don't know why anyone would like to read just the commentarys but he deos it.

The point of the commentaries is to help you understand what the Bible says, not replace it.

My Bible is juts a Bible anyway.

It's good to have Bible study aids because for sure we aren't going to understand everything right off the bat. So in order to study the Bible we may need the assistance of commentaries and other Bible study helpers. But nothing can in effect replace reading it for yourself. I think the first step is to read it and then to gain deeper knowledge then you can use material provided by people who may have expertise in areas we do not, such as the original language of the scriptures and the meanings of each words for example.

My house is like that, different Bibles everywhere. Got one the size of a 24 pack of Sprite.

Its not wise. But if you are Catholic or any other faith that TELLS you what the bible means, then I don't think it really matters.
