Hmmm, I find myself singing the psalm that I heard on Sunday for the rest of the week. So while I may not know which chapter and verse I am singing, I remember the words. I don’t guess that matters to Protestants though, because I don’t remember which psalm it is.

How do you know it was an actual psalm, if you don't actually know which of the psalms it is?

Case in point:
Shakespeare, Aesop, or King James? Which of the following phrases are from the K J Version?
Quiz - Shakespeare or Scripture?

If you don’t know the exact verse and it’s context how do you know it hasn’t been twisted or altered?

Remember, when Lucifer tempted our Lord in the wilderness he used scripture. Jesus understood and responded with scripture.

False teachers want you to lack intimate knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.

No problem. If you "sing it" here most will know which Psalm. The Psalm is for God not for fellow FReepers unless you like to share it and are led to share it to edify others.

If you would like to know the chapter and verse of what you have learned, just google a few words and it should pop up.

You act as tho knowing some scripture as Protestants do is bad...So what does that actually tell you??? That Protestants are interested in what God has to say and Catholics aren't???

Did that verse inspire you??? How are you going to find it again if you don't remember it or at least write down the chapter and verse???

Often times Protestants will use a highlighter and mark out salient verses of scripture in their bibles...Even if they don't remember exactly where a verse is, they can often go to the correct book or chapter and check the marked verses til they get the one they are looking for...

Many of us have wide margin bibles which gives us space to write notes or references to other verses that are relevant...And that's a bad thing???

Instead of criticizing bible reading Protestants you might be better off asking your self, 'why do Protestants have this zeal in their hearts to know the words of God but you don't'!!!
