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?
So, just know the Bible wasn’t written in English. There is no ideal translation, because it’s a translation. There are many reading plans you can look up that consist of an Okd Testament reading, a wisdom book reading, a gospel reading, and an epistle reading.
Remember: the Bible belongs to the church, not the other way round. There were 3 centuries of Christianity prior to the New Testament being canonized.
Find the church first. There is only one right choice.
I could tell you which, but what fun would that be?
