Start with the Nag Hammadi library. That's real Christianity before the Pharisees took it over.

None, learn Koine. Before the negrification of education, White middle schoolers used to do it as a part of basic schooling and not knowing classical languages was considered a mark of uneducated subhuman rabble.

If German schoolboys could do it for centuries then so can you. Get to it, Hans.

how about this. christian or not. everyone itt goes next time when he has day free to hospital and buys some fruits and food for a random poor old sick guy there who has nobody visiting. Nurses will know. There are many every time you go. Thats all. Its like 30-45min wasted. Will cost you like 20-30 dollars. But how much you will make that poor sick guys day will amaze you and you will genuinely feel like you made a world bit better and brought hope.
Its not that hard at all. Imagine your sick and dying and noone cares and then some anon just comes and brings tendies and memes. Great shit. Do that. Reading makes you argue a lot. Waste of time. Many poor fucjs that need your time more.

>>533274490
I don't know anything about German translations. The best English bibles out right now are the Orthodox Study Bible (English translation of the Septuagint, NKJV New Testament, shitload of footnotes) and the Ignatius Catholic Bible (RSV, OE based on the Masoretic text, very nice binding and cover art)

In any case, if you're interested in reading the entire bible, I suggest you get one with "the apocrypha", the books that are canonical in Catholicism and Orthodoxy but aren't in most Protestant denominations.

Read the gospels already if you haven't. Most of what you need to know is in those books.
They're all quick reads, too.

Real talk: Was having a minor stroke a couple of years ago and when I woke up in the hospital there was this self-proclaimed Christian guy making rounds talking to the patients. Which is fair but honestly he was kind of an asshole and you could overhear him gossip about other patients in other rooms. In theory I guess visiting sick lonely people is neat but that particular case felt like a vulture poking at the sick and dying. It was disgusting, honestly.

>>533274863
Yes. The New Testament was first written in Greek, and the Old Testament was translated to Greek long before the time of Jesus. The original Hebrew inscription of the Old Testament was lost for centuries and was only retranslated back into Hebrew from Greek later on. However, most Abrahamic believers in Jesus' time memorized the Greek version. Greek was the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean for over a millennia until Arabic took over.

You can take the King James literally.
Sometimes the context becomes obscure. Youngs Literal can help clarify.
Get the esword and read the KJV with the Strongs Concordance so that you learn words in the Greek and Hebrew.
Many hours of Bible Study are needed for your modern ears to grasp the pastoralist frame.
Just reading it is a little hard because it reads close up from primary witnessess. Sing it out loud by the way.

the KJV has gotten kiked by astral jews and cerniggers. It has aliens, unicorns and wine bottles now:
https://youtu.be/L7C9agmaVn8?t=540

I would advice side-by-side reading with an interlinear to avoid some of their tricks:
https://www.abarim-publications.com/Interlinear-New-Testament/index.html

And these sources for changes:

>>533275474
None of them. The Bible itself says not to take it literally. "The letter kills, the spirit gives life". You're supposed to look for the spiritual meaning behind everything.

If the Bible were meant to be taken literally, there wouldn't be over 1000 years of exegetical texts from men like Origen and Gregory of Nyssa.
>>
>>533274490
>>533277664
otherwise a good starter translation is MEV, it's easy to read while being created with the methodology of "try to keep the same meaning as KJV as much as possible"
>>
>>533274490
Any of the most common versions will get you on track. The bad ones don't get much traction generally. The same lessons are taught in so many ways in so many places that it would be basically impossible to subvert it without rewriting it entirely. When you have questions, go to church. Not to Google. The internet is full of sources that don't disclose their leanings, so in researching broad questions about heaven, hell, God, souls, and the like, you might get led astray by some Christian-adjacent doctrines like Mormon, kaballah, JW, SDA, dispensationalism, or Roman Catholicism. Go to church. Stay for Bible study. Ask questions. Profit.

... I mean, atleast half of the Bible is supposed to be a direct historical record. Especially the parts following Kings.

So yes, at the very least youre supposed to take parts of it literally. The question is how much.

Septuagint+Enoch for the OT is non negotiable. Both explicitly describe Jesus before he existed. For the NT it's less critical, just avoid anything that traces back to the Scofield Bible.

I did. I was challenged/drawn into reading book of John, had a copy somewhere, was n33t nothing else to do, read it laying in bed took about 2 1/2 hours, hadn't realized how quick you can read them. Few days later read Mark. Obviously I'm digesting it and thinking as I read new parts. Then just had the epiphany in prayer and Christ was there as if He were there the entire time in my life. Nothing but blessings in my life since

KJV only use https://kjvcompare.com/

>>
>>533278405
Latin Vulgate added verses that are biased towards sacrament focus. It turns the Word into vague allegory. Erasmus pointed this out in 1500s.
>>
>>533283962
In Matthew 4:17, the Vulgate said:

Poenitentiam agite
“Do penance”

But the Greek says:

metanoeite
“Repent / change your mind”

One of the many examples of Roman Catholics attempting to guilt trip people into giving money to their churches.
>>
>>533283712
it has mathematics but the words demons, false gods and messiah have all disappeared from it
>>
>>533284227
messiah = Christ
false gods = idols
demons = devils

it's just the result of Hebrew vs Greek translation. In Hebrew it was sheol, in Greek it was hell etc..
>>
How's Luther's translation?
>>
>>533284503
>Luther

That is where you get into debate over free will.

Erasmus corrected Luther and protestants are still butthurt over it today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sprax8k8N4M

in short Textus Receptus was created by Erasmus. It was more accurate in every way which led to the KJV which has been translated into every language, even under persecution and death by Catholics and Protestants.

Demons definitely used to be a thing in the KJV, King James himself wrote a book on daemonologie. Furthermore, there's many other weird changes, like grammatical errors and emojis:)

KJV translating all mentions of the afterlife to hell is its own problem (sheol, hades, gehenna, tartarus).

What I'm saying is to not blindly trust one translation, the Bible and especially the KJV are suffering from supernatural changes. I suggest you look into it.

>>
>>533285237
That is what I am doing, there is not point in arguing over whether or not a demon is a devil. That is a low iq brainlet topic.

The more important thing is if you bible is an accurate representation of the Greek and Hebrew texts. Erasmus started that project and it was completed in 1633. It blew the Latin Vulgate back into the trash bin in Alexandria Egypt.
>>
>>533274490
Any bible you have at hand, the most important skill is to understand context. Reading comprehension from passage to passage is #1.
>>
>>533285373
>legacy standard bible

That version comes from the NASB which came from Westcott and Hort. Westcott and Hort's version came from the Latin Vulgate.

Another reason to stick to KJV, every modern translation is trying to get you back on the Latin Vulgate.

>>533285661
https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=484

"At the monastery Tischendorf saw some leaves of parchment in a waste‑basket… He retrieved from the basket 129 leaves…"

This is where the Sinaiticus manuscripts came from, which is where the Latin Vulgate was derived.

Anything that isn't scoffield
>>
>>533286518
Scoffield promoted dispensationalism which is the better version of Covenant Theology. This is where modern eschatological interpretations become more accurate and coincide with what is happening in Israel today.

Dispensationalism separates the Body of Christ from Israel. So you have ethnic Israel and spiritual Israel. This is more biblical than Covenant theology that Protestants and Catholics still adhere to.


Covenant theology is a Reformed (Calvinist) framework that interprets the entire Bible through three theological covenants — not the biblical covenants themselves — and sees the Church as the continuation or fulfillment of Israel.
>>
>>533286731
The argument is not whether dispensationalism is wrong. The argument should be how far do we separate the Body of Christ from ethnic Israel?

Some people take it too far, some people not enough. Dispensationalism is just a study through that framework.

>>533274490
Septuagint for Old Testament
>>
ERV unironically. At least for your first read. KJV is for autists. ESV is great, but your first read should be to just read and absorb general. ESV is great for more autistic dives. KJV is great for more poetic enjoyment. NKJV is an excellent compromise between the two.
>>
>>533286995
Masoretic and Septuagint are essentially the same, Septuagint is older while Masoretic is carefully preserved and newer.
>>
>>533285661
>That is a low iq brainlet topic.
Just bringing awareness to the issue. This site contains all former appearances of demons in the KJV, because a demon is not the devil:
https://www.demonbuster.com/demscrip.html
>>
>>533287176
>ERV
ERV uses Westcott & Hort’s Greek text

>>533285854
>>
>>533287248
I don't see an issue. A demon is a devil, love can be charity. Jesus describes love in that doing good to a good person achieves nothing, but doing good to a person in need makes the world a better place, charity is a perfectly good word for it.
>>
>>533287186

This is the best version of the Bible by far.

Read the Enuma Elish first. Inscribed on clay tablets 4000 years before the Bible, there has been 0 edits. The old testament plagiarized the Enuma Elish to fit their narrative and has had many changes throughout history.
