Comfy Bible threadI'm going to start reading the OT again as I've just finished the NT for the first time. Should I resume from where I left off (I had read everything from Genesis to 1 Kings) or resume with another book from the OT?
Read all the poetry, Daniel and Jonah
>>24685762I re-read Romans
>>24685762Daniel, Jonah, and the four books after chronicles 2 are also narrativeEzekiel chapter 1 and 2 are probably the best chapters in the OT Ask gpt the most important prophecies from Isaiah and Ezekiel
>>24685762>I had read everything from Genesis to 1 KingsYou didn't read 2 Kings?>>24685805>Ask gpt
Genesis is the best book of the OT
>>24685762I really like this verse, I had it stuck in my head for awhile after I read it. Jesus had so much powerI also like this verse: John 3:27 John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven."
>>24686216I like the books with Elijah and Elisha, they were like cool wizards
>>24686105>gpt is bad in september 2025Come on, anon. It's really usefull when asking about literature. Just try it once.
>>24685762get some good commentariesthere are 1000s of them>alsoplan on reading the bibble several timesafter the 4th or 5th pass the stories get boring
>>24686420Why did he do it?
>>24687618>usefull
>>24687742Because they mocked him for being bald
>bible tourist here: unlike the Koran, torah or Vedas, the Christian bible is unimportant to read in the original language, so why do you all settle for the KJB? why not read one the modern rewritten versions since the exact language is unimportant and it's just about the message?
>>24688408Personally I read either the OSB or one in my native language
>>24688408>so why do you all settle for the KJB? why not read one the modern rewritten versions since the exact language is unimportant and it's just about the message?I don't I read multiple versions also Catholics shouldn't be reading the KJV but the DR
>>24688408Because the language is simply better rendered into English in the KJV. Modern translations concern themselves with accuracy, clarity, or condescending to minorities/ESL. Except for the epistles which I do not prefer to read in KJV.
I wish I could believe in Jesus
>>24688602You can
>>24686216genesis is great I agree, theres the theory its stories are actually from another god. then the jews go on to their tribal yhwh wars and bull sacrifice crap
>>24688588>Modern translations concern themselves with accuracy, clarity, or condescending to minorities/ESLDoes this imply, every time the bible is translated or rewritten, god is guiding their hand? Since God originally gave the laws, or spoke to man in certain languages, how can we be assured that newer versions carry that same spirit/meaning?
