Well i've finished the whole ding dang Bible, cover to cover! Can't say i've become Christian but im basically a Bible scholar now lol. Any questions?

Overall a good read though.
Lots of good characters, compelling stories and tragic ones. Sexy bits, funny bits, epic bits.
Some good messages and some bad ones. Could use a little bit of pruning down of the repetitive parts but all in all i give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars!

This is the background music i chose to read Revelation to because my normal stuff was not epic enough lol.

Two questions...

1. Which translation?

2. Will you be moving on to the Apocrypha to read just what the Church didn't want you to read about Christianity and left out of the approved Bible?

3. If the Jewish god said you will have no other gods "before me", does that mean he/she/it was admitting to the existence of other gods and just demanding the Jewish people worship him/her/it as more important than those other gods?

@ChipmunkErnie Well that was three but i'll forgive you😜

1) New Living Translation

2) Maybe, but there's some other books i want to read first.

3) I think the OT definitely points in some places to the polytheistic nature of the religions it grew out of.
