i’m very curious if this is seen as disrespectful or not! also, why or why not? do you keep a separate binder or notebook?

In the old days some wrote birth records,deaths and marriages inside the cover of their bibles.
What kind of writing would you be doing ?(I really don’t know 🙂 )

Used to, now I have Bibles on my Kindle. I can highlight and make notes and still READ them years later 🙂

I know lots of people who do that. I don’t myself, can’t write in any book, ingrained from school maybe … the last week of school year was devoted to carefully erasing any and all marks and fingerprints that may have been added … books were most often passed along to next year’s class.

Instead, I make it a habit of praying, asking God to write it on my heart, and to call it to my mind sometime in the future when it’s needed. I hope it works. Lol

Some folks still do that, and one of the bible I have actually has pages listed as a family tree with little boxes to write in.
 
Absolutely! Highlight, underline, write notes. I also write notations of meaningful verses on the pages at the back. It helps reinforce what I’ve read, especially for Bible studies. This may be a holdover from my Baptist teaching.
 
I used to underline, highlight and make notes in my KJV Bibles. But the only writing in my Catholic Bible is the family history.
 
No, not at all. I feel uncomfortable about doing that. I feel as though I would be treating God’s word without proper reverence.
 
I did a little bit in high school, as the Bible was a textbook we used for Bible History and the teacher wanted us to mark or take notes on certain things.
It was a cheap paperback Bible. I wouldn’t write in a nice one unless it was on the Family Register page with the family tree and such.
 
Writing in books (other than notebooks, workbooks, etc.) just never felt right to me. I’ll keep notes in a separate notebook or an MS Word doc or something.
