Why should I read the Bible in English? I'm not that fucktarded.
James Nguyen
>I'm not that fucktarded.
You probably are if you thought the gospels were in the old testament.
and that's ignoring the major sign of fucktardery

I'm not OP, check the poster count. But reading the Bible in English is the epitome of being a dumbfuck.

I wouldn't suggest reading it cover to cover like you would a novel, as there are some VERY dull parts that would simply wear you out. You can read it in 365 days at a relaxed pace by following a yearly plan. Here is an example: biblica.com
For getting the historical basis of things, you can read Genesis - Leviticus, and Joshua - Ezra. Obviously, you should read one of, if not all four, of the gospels of Jesus. For a good gist on the bulk of Christian theology, read Acts and the letters of Paul (Romans - Philemon). And, of course, read Revelation.

John Campbell
Why?

If you don't read the Bible in Greek you might as well just give up and become an atheist. I'm not even trying to be a memester right now, it's just how it is, regional translations were a mistake. Especially shit like KJV that tagged on shitty mistranslations from the Vulgate like that Lucifer thing.
Hunter Allen
Almost all the good poetry and stories are in the Old Testament. The New Testament is okay, but nothing special outside of Revelation. You can get most of the interesting aspect of Jesus' life from edited summaries.
Josiah Wilson
If you want to "just" read it I advice you to read the Evangelium if however you want to study it you need both OT and NT as there are a ton of references between them
Chase Reed
That cleared up what is what.Thanks.

ouch dude I'll need a burn heal
>not reading the OT in Classical Hebrew and Aramaic
holy shit dude is your IQ 12
Logan Gomez
>implying there's any NT text written in Aramaic
All the originals are in Greek.
Logan Butler
>implying there's any NT text written in Aramaic
I'm not, although some scholars argue parts are Greek translations of Aramaic.
The Book of Daniel has Aramaic chapters, and the Book of Ezra is in Aramaic.
William Lopez
I was talking about NT since this thread is about Jesus though. When it comes to OT it's best to read it in Hebrew and contrast it to the Septuagint due to all the shit the codifiers managed to alter in the Masoretic canon.
Luke Perry
If you plan to read exodus, read these first.
Exodus 1:11 capturing and enslaving the hebrews. “...My soldiers were as lions are with their spoil, having serfs.

There's no Jesus parts in the OT. Read the letters of Paul, then the Gospels, including the "apocryphal" Gospel of Thomas. Paul's letters came first and so have precedence over the Gospel accounts.

There are alternate translations than the KJV. The Oxford Annotated Bible for instance uses the RNSV translation, which is more literal, and includes alternate translations for words with contested translatons; it's meant for academic study.
Carson Peterson
The KJV is actually one of the best, it's based on deep scholarship and preserves meaning very well. But the best way to read the Bible is in an interlinear version, such as biblehub.com
James Rodriguez
As I recall it was written with a distinct political slant. Meant to justify both a specific form of clergy and a specific form of monarchy. It's a masterpiece of literature, and probably good enough for basic scholarship, but I'd still recommend a proper academic version over it.
