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?
>>24688691>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?Read Acts 2:>And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.>And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.*fixed spacing God gave the apostles the ability to declare the gospel in all the languages of the world
>>24689216>God gave the apostles the ability to declare the gospel in all the languages of the worldThanks for citing passages, wonder why Christianity places no emphasis onholy language, when most other religions do.
>>24688408>if you can choose language and version freely, why would you choose the most beautiful and literarily important version?yeah
>>24689266because it is a universalist religion that emerged in greek language out of hebrew tradition under latin government
My take on the older brother in the Prodigal Son parableIt’s good to obey one’s father and work, but don’t forget to make merry every now and then, if you want to. Otherwise you’ll become resentful
>>24689963bro is the source of his own problems he's a workaholic and malds even though his younger bro blew his share of the inheritance already like dude are you working for free
>>24688588>I don't I read multiple versions also Catholics shouldn't be reading the KJV but the DRthere are catholic editions of the KJV actually. though you're right about the original KJV.
>>24690224I know about that one I don't think the dude got an imprimatur for it
Any of you guys try the DLC yet?
>>24687742Living in Baltimore, I understand where he was coming from.
