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?
Luke, then John.
Also, no coincidence that 31 days a month, and 31 chapters in Proverbs. Take the short five minutes a day, and read the chapter of the date it is.
If you are coming from a spiritual pantheistic background, ROMANS is a REALLY good place to start. It was specifically written for polytheistic people.
The most important thing, is before you read, clear your mind, give it your full attention, and just ask God to grant you wisdom in what you read.
PLEASE NOTE- once you read the Bible, and discern the truth, it is life altering and PERSONAL DECISIONS WILL NEED TO BE MADE. Ignorance will no longer be an acceptable excuse for disobedience. Thankful God is loving and forgiving (read the parable of The Prodigal Son). I've understood God's love towards us more, ever since I've been blessed by becoming a father myself.
