I recently bought a brand new NIV Bible, with the red letter and a concordance in the back of the Bible

I pray that I read it silly! Read it carefully, prayerfully, meditate upon it, study it, know it inside and out....To read it with fresh eyes, even after being a Christian for 23 years. I am ready now...Lord please may the Holy Spirit reveal what you really meant, and that the word may come alive!

I agree. You definitely should read it. Start with Genesis chapter 1, verse 1, and read every single chapter and verse, in order. Take notes of anything you don't understand and anything that seems to be nonsense, so that you can look it up later.
@LordShadowfire And there will be some great explanations out there for things she doesn't get. I'm sorry you never had a relationship with Christ.

@LordShadowfire I know nothing about you, but God's word doesn't lie.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Oh, I see. So I must be the ӏіаr.
@LordShadowfire No, you just decieved yourself. You cannot convince me my friends, wife and family are not real.

I cannot convince you your nearest and dearest aren't real.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Nope. Nice try. Again, your crystal ball is broke.

I was fully convinced of the reality of Yahweh, Jesus, heaven, heӏӏ, and Satan before I read the Bible.

I was fully convinced it was all real after I read it the first time.

I was still fully convinced after I read it the second time, but I had some questions.

My third read through, I finally saw it for what it is. A jumbled, cobbled together book of mythology from various religions pretending to be a single coherent text.

But you're right about one thing. I can't convince you of anything you aren't ready to believe. You'll just keep inventing excuses for why I can't be convinced.
@LordShadowfire You had no reverence for God and no genuine relationship with Christ, so you obsessed over details which many Christian apologists and Bible scholars can explain.

We get it.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Okay. You're once again calling me a liar, and you've already called me a snowflake.

The gloves are coming off.
@LordShadowfire Can you buy me a ticket to Portland? 😂

@BritishFailedAesthetic Keep laughing, bitсһ. It's all you keyboard warriors are good at.
