Ok Jow Forums I will finally do it. I will read the bible. I have turned my life around in the last couple of months.

I try to live a decent life without the degeneracy all around me (still not perfect but I'm getting there). And now I figured a good man has to at least know the bible (even if it turns out I still won't become a believer after reading it). What version of the bible would you recommend? Can be anything in german or english. I've downloaded the KJV now but that was just because it is honestly the only one I know. Any suggestions?
The light at the end of the tunnel doesn't care about the bible. Or the Quran. Or any rule of conduct for that matter.
What's the one thing everyone who has a near death experience says?
Love each other. As long as you end up doing every action with unconditional love then you'll be praised afterward.
Statistically everyone who has a near death experience not only sees the same vision, a tunnel, a bright white light full of love, and then they're told they have to go back.
Statistically everyone who sees this light becomes more empathetic and emotionally sensitive.
Neuroscience can't explain it. It doesn't follow religion.
But there's millions of firsthand accounts since the beginning of time.
Disregard subhuman amerimutts saying KJV, thats pure fanfiction in autistic archaic language. The best version in completeness, neutrality and closeness to the originao sources is the New Jerusalem Bible It even has glosses if there is conflict of interpretation or contradiction between the original language sources for a term or chapter and includes them accordingly

Absolute state of Christianity. No wonder jews are having a ball with it.

Oldest bible you can find.

"Pagan renaissance is overdue. It is necessary for Europe to heal its psyche. Under Christianity, Europe learned to reject its ancestors, its past, which cannot be good for its future also. Europe became sick because it tore apart from its own heritage, it had to deny its very roots. If Europe is to be healed spiritually, it must recover its spiritual past--at least, it should not hold it in such dishonor. I spoke of a new kind of pilgrimage: a return to the time of the Gods. Meanwhile, European scholars can do a lot. They should write a history of Europe from the Pagan point of view, which would show how profoundly persecuted Paganism was. They should compile a directory of Pagan temples destroyed, Pagan groves and sacred spots desecrated. European Pagans should also revive some of these sites as their places of pilgrimage."

Jerusalem Bible 1966 version only. Anything else is strictly for cocksuckers.
Kjv. Read both the old and new testaments at the same time. You need genesis and exodus at least. They can get boring but at times you'll see things no religious zealot has ever pointed out to you in your entire life. Take it in at your own pace. A little a day. Let the seeds of wisdom take root in you so that they may grow strong and firm over time.
Jonathan Nelson
Paganism is dead and gone. Discovering old Christianity is the west's best shot at rediscovering spirituality. Maybe follow whatever Russia and Mid East Christians are preaching and cut cords with zionists that have hijacked it in the west.

I think the ESV would be the most easy to read for a native English speaker and have a pretty solid translation
saga because this is a gay non-political thread
Jayden Wright
KJV with backup NIV for when you can't understand the language. KJV is the most poetic and most culturally impactful translation of the bible, but is written in archaic english. NIV doesn't have the same poetry or impact, but is much easier to understand.
Adrian Rodriguez
wow congrats good for you. be sure to have some kids. id go with the new revised standard version.

When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. >Matthew 10:23 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. >(Leviticus 19:33-34) He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. >(Deuteronomy 10:18-19) When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. >(Leviticus 19:9-10) Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt. >(Exodus 23:9)
NIV. King James version is (((Anglican))) propaganda and ye olde tyme English doesn't directly interpret the meanings of the Bible to modern English. The NIV was written as a group project by several authorities on the Holy Bible of several denominations. Using the oldest known versions of biblical scripts available to us (the dead sea scrolls were not in England during the 1600s, we have them now). And it is written in plain modern English so you don't have to wrangle with archaic words from the English 1600s meant to appeal to the peasant reader.

ESV is the way to go, in my opinion. Also, Calvinism is the best way to interpret the Bible.
Words of Woden: An ill tempered, unhappy man Ridicules all he hears, Makes fun of others, refusing always To see the faults in himself
Foolish is he who frets at night, And lies awake to worry' A weary man when morning comes, He finds all as bad as before,
The fool thinks that those who laugh At him are all his friends, Unaware when he sits with wiser men How ill they speak of him.
The fool thinks that those who laugh At him are all his friends: When he comes to them and calls for support, Few spokesmen he finds
The fool who fancies he is full of wisdom While he sits by his hearth at home. Quickly finds when questioned by others . That he knows nothing at all.
The ignorant booby had best be silent When he moves among other men, No one will know what a nit-wit he is Until he begins to talk; No one knows less what a nit-wit he is Than the man who talks too much.
To ask well, to answer rightly, Are the marks of a wise man: Men must speak of men's deeds, What happens may not be hidden.

Your only non-meme shot at "paganism" that isn't written by a creepy cultist in the 1930s or YouTubers is "Norse Mythology" by Niel Gaiman. Niel actually compiled Norse religious scripture and wrote the book to reflect the beliefs of the Vikings, it is a great place to start on the beliefs of Nordic Paganism. Do not go on YouTube and listen to a guy who was in a shitty metal band, murdered his band mate, was sent to prison, and now lives on a permaculture farm making cringey YouTube videos talking about how he is a "Pagan Bolshevik"
Joseph Lewis
For those interested in Calvinism, this link is a great introduction.
>Which bible to read The King James Version is rock solid. Other Bibles leave out key verses basically denying Jesus is God. Also being left out is His Blood shed for our sins.
Downloading is nice (cheap) but an EMP would wipe out all electronics...just sayin when things go to hell in a hand basket...when you're out of ammo and the Cretins are closing in...it's nice to have The Book handy!
