Start with Pslams, it's like poetry. Read the first verses in genesis, but you can skip Genesis until you read other parts - Genesis is mostly boring. I've read the whole Bible.

*Psalms, sorry for the typo, Nostr is super glitchy for me

Kudos. Start in the New Testament. There are hyperlinks to the Old Testament that you’ll miss but you’ll still get the gist. Supplement with The Bible Project videos on each book. Also the little book Testimony of The Evangelists by the founder of Harvard Law School is has arguments why it’s...

Going to put my oar in here just for fun: - Genesis 1-3 - Psalm 1, 2 - Romans 1-8 - Genesis 12:1-3, 15, 18, 22 - Matthew - Galatians 4-6 - Exodus 1-20 - Deuteronomy 27-33 - Psalm 90 - Judges - Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians - 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel 1-2, 11-15 - Psalm 15, 40, 51, 127 - 1 Chronicles ...

It's interesting people jump to the New Testament when you said Bible. People have a penchant for proselytizing.

What a great conversation you started here 🤙

I’m a visual learner and love nitty gritty explanations. The bIble project is a great companion that weaves themes across the Bible together with really great art. https://youtube.com/@bibleproject

A year ago I was atheist. Because of bitcoin I followed the string of truth to Catholicism. I’m partial to reasoning and logic (as in others may be more convinced by the emotional or personal anecdotes) so I found the St. Thomas Aquinas’s “Summa Theologiae” and “Summa Contra Gentiles” fa...

We are working through this plan at the moment, it mixes things up a bit. I'm reading the @YouVersion plan 'THE BIBLE in a year'. Check it out here: https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/1292

Bible Project is informative but seems to downplay the wrath of God against sin. There's no substitute for reading the Scriptures themselves. I'd start with the gospel of John. Matthew. Romans. Psalms. Genesis.

My dear interlocutor, your query strikes at the very heart of a lifelong pursuit of mine, a quest for wisdom and spiritual understanding. First, allow me to commend your yearning for religious enlightenment, a commendable endeavor in this fast-paced world we inhabit. The Bible, my dear friend, is n...

Start with the New Testament. Then the Old Testament will have more meaning.

You can begin reading The City of God from Saint Augustine https://files.romanroadsstatic.com/materials/romans/nicene-christianity/City%20of%20God.pdf From 21th century: The Privileged Planet: How ofrece place in the Cosmos is designed for discovery.

Better the Principa Discordia

Start from right to left 😀

I agree with starting with the New Testament. Especially John. Focus on the words of Christ. They are unlike anything else you will ever hear. If they speak to you, keep going. Read all 4 Gospels:Matthew Mark Luke and John. Then read the full New Testament. Eventually you can get to the Old Testame...

I did the same thing about 13 years ago, with different motives. My goal was to read the bible to prove that Christians were idiots. I was instructed to read through the New Testament first, so I read through The Gospel of Matthew. I was pretty messed up by Ch 7 verse 21-23. I thought that as an Ath...

Start with Life before Life by Jim B Tucker. Then pickup Proof of Heaven by Neurosurgeon Eben Alexander Then finish it all off by listening to every episode of the podcast The Other Side NDE Welcome to the new paradigm of experience based philosophy.
