In April 2016, my wife had an idea to hand write the entire bible.
Wow, that would be quite an undertaking, but it sounded like an awesome idea to me!
We purchased journals, and even special pens (Kohinoor Rapid-o-graph technical pens).
I created a Facebook page to encourage others to join our project, and to post progress photos. I wanted to create a community out of this project.

Hand Write The Bible
I worked on my copy from April 2016 until approximately October 2016, which is when I began to do research and write this blog.
I spent a year writing over 100 articles, making an attempt to show people the warnings in scripture regarding the differences between what churches teach and what the bible actually says.
After a year, I found that I was repeating myself.
At about the same time, there was a resurgence in interest in my Hand Write the Bible Facebook page, with lots of new members arriving daily.
I decided to go back to the project, and make it my main focus (instead of this blog).
Instead of picking up where I left off, I began anew.
The main reason for this is because I was using the New King James Version the first time. Since then, I’ve learned much with regard to the original Hebrew and Greek, and have switched to using the ISR2009 Scriptures and the Eth Cepher bibles.
I also purchased new Leuchtturm 1917 Master Classic journals, and Lamy Al Star fountain pens to use this time around.
Make no mistake about it…
This project is a massive undertaking.
It will take a significant amount of time, and a significant amount of effort.
So why do it?
I am currently on Chapter 16 of Bereshith/Genesis.
It is phenomenal how much information I have noticed by hand writing the text, as opposed to just reading it.
I am also looking up key words in Hebrew, and including their reference and definitions in my text (see light blue writing):
If you would like to take on a project that will be one of the greatest accomplishments of your entire life, then I encourage you to join us!!
