Is it humanly possible to memorize the entire Bible word for word? The answer is YES, few people successfully memorize the entire Bible in less that 6 years but how long can an average person with daily job can complete memorization of entire Bible? Is it still feasible within the entire 6 years?

I agree. Do what you can and gain the most out of what you learn and review. Thanks Josh.
My pleasure, Marie!!
Thanks for the motivation. Memorization is something I am going to work on.
Great! 👍🏻
Great facts.
Thanks, Eric.
I believe it’s definitely possible. Probably not realistic for most, but I like what Andy Davis said about accepting our limitations. Josh I found your point about spaced repetition review to be extremely effective. I’m struggling to keep what I’ve memorised lately, but using that technique, books are starting to really stick for me, especially the ones I’ve had for the longest. Can’t wait to celebrate with you when you’re done:)
Well said - possible but not realistic. And I'm with you - maintaining a good review schedule is a challenge!
NICE! Memorize one verse at a time. Awesome! Thank u for the encouragement!
You are so welcome, Takeshi!
Bom dia Johs.
Gostei muito da mensagem que você passou para nós.💎🤝
Obrigado por assistir e deixar um comentário.
This was so good. It’s fun to memorise but we must never lose sight of the real reason we are doing it - to know God better through his word and to share his love with others.
👍🙏
I watch your utoube everyday to give the motivation to myself.
I decided to memorize the whole bible for the rest of my life.
God bless u for doing this !!!!
" Whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the Kingdom of heaven!"
That is YOU ! JOSH !
Thank you for your encouragement 🙏
I just finished memorizing the book of Colossians. I am using the month of October to review and solidify my memorization work. I have a question for you. How quickly do you typically move to your next Bible Memorization attempt? I am praying about what I will do next. I know that I should continue to review Colossians so I don't forget it, but should I wait a little bit before I start my next book or portion of Scripture?
I spend my chapter/book review month also daily reading (not intentionally trying to memorize yet) the next chunk of verses (usually about 1/3 - 1/2 of a chapter) I plan to memorize. This pre-memorization strategy allows my brain to start soaking in the flow of new words even while my intention review focus is still set on solidifying my prior works. After 3-6 weeks of daily preview, I start chipping away at learning those new verses.
@@infertilitymom Thank you for your suggestions.
I’m glad Jennifer shared some of her experience. I think it depends on the person and the situation. Sometimes I jump straight into a new passage and sometimes I take a break. Right now, I’m spending 2 months reviewing all the 10 books I’ve memorized.
Great 👍😃 video. I would go for the entire 27 books of the New Testament only and some few books of the old testament but not all the old testament. I won't just do that but others can because Ephesians 4:7 says that.
However you feel led 👍🏻
@@BibleMemoryGoal Excellent reply brother Josh. And also congrats 👏🎉 big time on memorizing the book 📖 of 2 Timothy fully. I look forward to an interview with you if God permits.
Amen! Yes, it is possible by the grace of God!
Only by His grace.
10 Tera = 10,000,000 Megabytes not 10,000 so…. 10,000,000 div 4 = 2,500,000 so…1 brain div 2,500,000 pieces is equal to 0.0000004 % for the Bible, to be exact.
Thanks for the correction. I think I meant to put 10 terabytes = 10,000 Gigabytes, but either way, that was an error.
I have seen mention of the brain being able to hold 10 petabytes, not terrabytes. But, honestly, its a guess. Scientists do not even know how our menories are encoded yet, much less how much it can store.
So much yet to learn about our brains!
Either way it’s possible
I liked memorizing. It was a fun trick and it felt like I did something useful while I was driving to work on the highway (reviewing some epistles out loud), but last year I quit when I got the corona virus (last year november) and I really started to get a spiritual crisis. I have so many questions about my faith that I don't have answers to. Besides that, the only time when I could use a verse that I 'saved', I was like: 'Yeah, it says something about that in James. Let me find it'. And I tried to look it up in the bible and still ended up looking for it for five minutes, 'cause I thought it was in a different chapter. And I wasn't used to the lay-out of the page of that Bible. Anyway.. I also started to feel proud about the fact that I had Jude, James, Philippians and John: 1-3 memorized.
I'm sorry it's been a rough road for you, but I hope that these questions lead you to dig deeper into His Word and come to a stronger knowledge of the truth.
May the LORD provide the answers you are seeking.
@@infertilitymom Thank you :)
Aceitei um desafio insano de memorizar o salmo 119 até o dia 31/12.
Estou sentindo muita dificuldade. Creio o tempo para chegar ao objetivo é curto. Mas, por outro eu amo a palavra de Deus. E eu quero conseguir memorizar este salmo com o seu 176 versículos nem não consigo ser no prazo do Desafio Insano.
Se eu conseguir vou ganhar uma camiseta com o desenho do coração e as muitas letras deste salmo. Torce por mim Josh
Mantenha o bom trabalho!
Conseguiu?
I told myself last year I wanna memorize from Romans to Jude as my 30th anniversary gift. I’m 28 and I pray I meet up with my target
It's possible!
Recently I’ve been thinking that doing this would be the absolute coolest thing anyone could possibly do. A while ago I saw The Book Of Eli movie, and in that movie the main character [Denzel Washington] memorized the entire King James Bible.
I didn’t realize that. I’ve never seen that movie.
My cousin could recite scripture word for word. I was very impressed. He went to a Christian School and part of his curriculum was memorizing the Word. He ended up rejecting Christianity though. He believes in some new age religion now. I thought he was a Christian and I contacted him on social media. But he called me an idiot when I said something about Jesus. Then blocked me befor I could respond. I wish I went to his school growing up. I would have worn the Word as a badge of honor. But my cousin has free will to reject God. But I hope he finds his roots.
Sorry to hear about your cousin.
in which language? As i know Bible was not revealed in English.
Fortunately, we serve a God who doesn't speak only one language and doesn't judge/condemn those who memorize in their heart language.
Just finished my 50th chapter! But no, the whole Bible is out of my league. Lol.
Congrats! 🎉🎈
I'm aiming for the moon of memorizing the whole thing. We'll see where i end up 😃
WOW! 🤩
👍
🙏🙏
Great video! I think I disagree though. I’ve been memorizing for quite a while now, and I haven’t been able to find one single person who’s memorized the entire New Testament. For me, that would mean the ability to recall any chapter in any book at any time. I’ve searched for them, but I haven’t found even one.
I’m not sure we’re in disagreement. I’m saying that it’s possible that a person like that exists (or did exist), even if I don’t know of them personally.
@@BibleMemoryGoal I do agree it’s possible for the NT. The whole Bible is a different story 😀
There is a Lady called Susan Heck...her and her husband have done it...I think she now has memorized the whole Bible... there are people who have done it ..things if the Bible don't bring fame..
@@mariamutahi. I'm certainly not looking for someone to gain fame from memorizing the Bible...but I have been looking for a long time trying to find someone who has memorized the entire NT and have not found anyone. And I mean someone who could quote chapter and verse from any part of the NT.
@@churchhymnsandpsalms you misunderstood...I meant you have not heard of them because they are not famous for it...
It’s possible if you believe
I think Jack Van Impe (lol I know I’m saying his name wrong) did it
I didn’t know that. Who is he?
@@BibleMemoryGoal He was a Televangalist. His website says that he spent 80.000 hours memorizing 18.000 verses of the Bible
That’s definitely impressive, but 18,000 verses is still well short of the 31,000+ verses in the entire Bible.
So perhaps he just memorized the New Testament and not the whole Bible?
God has a better idea. Instead of trying to memorize the Bible, study it every day, even if it's only a paragraph or a chapter. Why do I say that? Because Jesus said this in John 14:25-26, “I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you." While I have favorite texts in Scripture, that always seem to be changing, I do not have the whole Bible memorized. Yet, since 2011 I have been faithfully reading God's Word daily, with only an occasional day here and there missing. What I have noticed in recent years is when someone says something or I read something, a verse of the Bible pops up in my mind. This is not because of memorization, but the Holy Spirit can only bring to remembrance what I have placed in my heart. By reading the Bible daily I give Him more to work with. It's an amazing journey.
It's encouraging to hear that you've been able to faithfully read God's Word daily. I wouldn't say that it's a "better idea", mostly because I don't think that memorizing the Bible replaces reading your Bible. I do both. So how about we just agree to say that it's good to be in God's Word daily no matter how you engage with it?
@@BibleMemoryGoal I'll either read through books of the Bible, but if something stands out, I may do a topical study. If you want too memorize the Bible (there are a few who have accomplished this, like Noah Webster) then keep doing it. I'm happy to realize the Holy Spirit does this for me. I just need to read God's Word. Other words the Holy Spirit has little to work with. I'm not saying this to put anyone down. My father taught us some memorization, and I've been able to know where things were in the Bible even if I couldn't quote them. Now, after reading the Bible constantly for almost 11 years I've experienced the Holy Spirit bringing God's Word to my mind these last 3 or 4 years.
@@BibleMemoryGoal I don't think memorizing the Bible is wrong. I hope that's not what you heard me saying. I grew up in the best of Christian households, was encouraged to memorize Scripture, both at home and at church. I've always felt it was best to STUDY the Word of God, not just read it. So, the last 11 years I've been reading with an intent to STUDY. That's when I found something happening that Jesus promised, "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you everything and REMIND you of all that I told you." Here's my point, yes, memorize Scripture, at the same time fill your heart with the Word of God, because there may come a time you will need to speak, and in that moment the Holy Spirit can go beyond memorization and remind you of the very teachings of Jesus. You will hear verses of Scripture come in answer to some question that is raised.
Randy Skeete has memorized the entire Bible
That's great.
Yes, the review is the nagging woman of memorization. Haha 😂
Yikes
If muslim asians can memorize the whole quran (which arabic is not their first language) then it's possible for a christian memorize an english bible.
Btw millions of muslim memorize the whole quran. Even the KIDS.
I'll be one of them one day insyallah
Aside from the fact that the Bible is SIGNIFICANTLY longer than the Quran (9x’s longer!), I always find it peculiar that Muslims are proud of the fact that they memorize in a language that they do not speak or understand. I could memorize the original Greek/Hebrew of the Bible, but I wouldn’t get any benefit from it so I choose my native tongue.
That’s not to take away from the amazing feat it is to memorize the Quran, but…why?
This guy is lying. No one can memorize bible ever.
Ok
