[quote:loveexists:MV8zODgyMTgzXzY5OTMwMDAxXzgxMTJBRTY3] Ask The Holy Spirit to guide you and show you the meaning of Scripture. Read the 66 books start to finish (Genesis-Revelation) and seek the guidance of The Holy Spirit. No scripture is of private interpretation, only The Holy Spirit can interpret scripture. If you're reading the catholic version, keep in mind 2 maccabees is a false book. The other extra 6 are truly scripture, but the translations in the catholic versions aren't perfect, nor are the catholic translations of the other 66 books perfect. The kjv isn't a perfect translation either, but better than the niv, nlt, etc. You can still glean a pretty much accurate picture of the commandments and of the various 'biblical' events that happened by reading the kjv. Kjv has mistranslations when it comes to some words though, and it leaves over 150 books out. Original scriptures were over 200 books ... [/quote]
Original Message
I'd like to hear your advice on how to approach reading it from cover to cover, free of the personal biased interpretation I have on it right now... (Growing up Catholic and having it essentially dissected and read for me). By reading it by myself and for myself, I hope to gain a much more sincere, original, unbiased and truer perspective/connection to it and what it means in my life.
Thanks
