Is it worth reading?

[Anonymous No.13324412]

Yeah but don’t feel like you need to follow the religion.
Also ignore Catholics who come into this thread if you know what’s good for you.

If you're going to read anything beyond genre fiction the bible is absolutely essential

All belief is a choice anon

[Anonymous No.13324423]

>>13324416
this post makes no sense
so it's not ok to not follow the religion but it's okay to ignore and not discuss it with other believers?

Read the Bhagavad Gita first so you can understand what having Christ in you actually means and you don’t become a stupid fundie

Yeah whatever man it helped me understand it maybe it will help him too

You won't need anything else if you read good translations faithful to the original Hebraic. I recommend the Restoration Scriptures True Name Edition Study Bible 3rd Edition. Best version.

welcome to root Christianity, free from judeo-Catholic paganism

What’s different very curious?

No, read Torah insted

[Anonymous No.13324488]

>>13324483
it is the most faithful to the original scriptures. including untranslatable terms fully explained, like the mention of Christ in the very first verse of Genesis.

I don't see the word Christ or Messiah or Yeshua anywhere

If you had to write it from scratch instead how would you do it?

first and last letters of the alphabet, mentioned later, translated to greek later on the NT as "Alpha and Omega". Messiah.

That's literally the marker for a definite indirect object in Hebrew. It's used thousands of times in the Bible, Jews in Israel say it thousands of times a day.

[Anonymous No.13324605]

>>13324536

[Anonymous No.13324646]

>>13324536
very thin pages. Have you ever touched a bible?

[Anonymous No.13324672]

>>13324646
Yeah I have it, with very thin pages, and I'm pretty sure if pic is possible page should be 1/3 more thin

[Anonymous No.13324729]

extremely thin onionskin paper and no heretical apocryphal/deuterocanonical books, dual-column with 10pt condensed font it's doable.

[Anonymous No.13324786]

>>13324605
In my country that thickness is the only thing we have

[Anonymous No.13324792]

god tier translations:
Knox - fine poetry, only real useful Vulgate translation
Unvarnished New Testament - great Koine paraphrase, very textually faithful
NABRE 3rd study edition - footnotes are actually very helpful, see Mt 19
New English Bible Oxford 1976 study edition - best of the dynamics
Maaybe RSV - like the Didache edition but they cut out the textual footnotes and butchered the psalms
also the new NLT CE is surprisingly faithful and decent, lots of good alternative readings

[Anonymous No.13324878]

>>13324401
Yes. Just reading it cover to cover should normally make you wary of judaism and christianity though.

[Anonymous No.13325242]

>>13324472

[Anonymous No.13325427]
