I agree with you. We should all avail ourselves to putting the Scriptures to memory as much as we can.
Also, again you make a good point about to whom much is given, much is expected.
We are given His word in a language we can understand. We live in a time when we have archeology proving the existence of times and people of the Scriptures. Oh how much more we will answer for our inability to share what we do know to be true.
My point of all this is exactly what you say. We need to put the bible in our minds and make sure it is part of our daily life. I say so because one day we may not have it so available. One day soon, it could become hate speech and become as detested by the masses of secularists as Mein Kampf is to Jews, and Germans.
So the question is a relevant one, and I must ad, that I am not all shocked at the reaction to the very thought.
Amen! Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD! Praise ye the LORD! (Psalm 150:6)
For many years (since back in the 60’s) I have had thoughts that Christians would be thrown in jails and prisons, and would no longer have access to His Word, and other Christian fellowships.(We seem to be closer that every day).
I knew a very godly man that was in his 50s when the doctors told him he soon would be blind. He began memorizing the New Testament,(and much of the Old testament)
When I met him he was in his 70s, you ask him to say, quote Matthew chapter 18, he would stop and think a little while, then quoted the whole chapter.
