O.K., well…...maybe there is something wrong with your computer, or maybe your counting is off. If there is no problem with either, then it is suggested to first read John 3:16 to start, then a good book to read through would be Philippians, which is relatively short yet covers many interesting and important topics. Also, the book of Mark is suggested, which is the shortest of the four gospel accounts of the life of Christ.

A Fair Score. It is recommended that you sincerely look into the Bible's messages concerning Jesus, mankind, sin, forgiveness, and love. Reading John 3:16 might be a good place to start, then a good book to read through would be Philippians, which is relatively short yet covers many interesting and important topics. After that, to read an account of the life of Christ; the book of Mark is the shortest of the four gospels nd relatively easy to read through, or if a gospel account with more background information and detail is desired, the book of Luke is recommended.

Pretty good! You seem to have at least a good acquaintance with scripture. It is something solid that can further be built upon. Reading, or re-reading, through Romans (along with meditating on scripture, and prayer), can provide a thought provoking and enlightening exploration of Christian concepts and beliefs.

Excellent! You seem to know scripture quite well. As just a reminder, you will be able to keep up, and build up, your biblical knowledge and understanding through prayer, and regular Bible reading. Also, possibly if you haven't already done so, you might consider reading through some of the New Testament books that people generally are less familiar with, such as Philemon, and 2,3 John.
