@biblesummary If it helps, try using shorthand, e.g. & rather than and - saves a few characters!

It may come to that! But I'm going to try to use full English as much as possible. I'm a glutton for punishment!

I can't help but wonder, as you are a Developer, if you haven't simply automated these tweets. Are you really typing scripture manually or is this just programmed? No matter to me...

@biblesummary God bless your heart. You're doing a great evangelistic job. Keep it up!

Great Idea Chris. But you know not always can one take the Bible literally. It is veiled and many chapters are set in correspondences. Like Genesis 1. Logically Gen 1 is confusing. The real meaning was given to us by Jesus in a revelation. If you are interested send a blank e-mail to "genesis1 at hisnewword.org

Thank you for creating such an excellent summary of the entire Bible! Check out http://www.torahsummary.org
It covers only the first 5 books, but provides images and analysis, which people find very helpful.

God is the Father of us all who accept and believe in Him. But, also, he is the Creator of heaven and earth. He created the heaven and earth and everything that lived. How great God is to make mankind in His image? Then God gave man charge over the earth. God is an awesome God whom we serve and love because He first loved us. I am truly blessed to serve, love, and know God the Father of the entire universe.

Can't believe how legit this is, the thorough detail throughout the website and more important the technical accuracy of this page is up to scratch. Furthermore I can also listen to this motivation and enlightening biblical stories, in a summary, through my Amazon echo with my grandmother Alexa Trevor
God is my Monday motivation
Love you all
May god bless you on this fine day

It really helped me thanks

I cannot understand how people believe such a crap! When the text say in his image, what image this is referring to? Physical image or intelligence? For, humans have similar physical body as other animals - eyes, ears, feet, hands, penis, blood (same color as human's)... etc.

chrisjuby

Not physical body, no. Perhaps having rational agency and the capacity for love.

What I saw: God created...And the Spirit of God hovered over the deep. God said...And it was so...And God saw that it was good!

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
