I never really considered myself religious. When I was a teen I was an atheist for a long while. Then I moved to a new-age kind of spirituality. But now I'm more of a pantheist believer that God is just a representation of all consciousness (omniscience), energy (omnipotence), and light (omnipresence.)
I'm more curious to read the Bible now. I've read either here or on TheDonald that the King James is the way to go. Do you think so? And where do you begin reading? Cover to cover? Or read certain passages at a time?
I would start with one of the gospels - the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These tell the story of Jesus and his time on earth.
They are much easier to understand than if you were to start in Genesis and read sequentially. Reading the bible cover to cover would sort of be like watching the star wars movies out of order.
This seems like it may be a good resource for you: https://saltandlight.sg/newchristian/faith-101-where-should-i-start-reading-the-bible/
