YES, I AM CURRENTLY HALF WAY THROUGH 🙏
Love that for you
I will… for there are only two ways to live in this life… one way leads to blessing… the other to final destruction.
Psalm 1
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
Blessed/Happy is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
but they are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
it's a life long endeavor to understand it. bible project has an excellent podcast to aid understanding. another approach is to listen to it. I listened through it three times on my commute last year. really helps in making connections between different parts.
Get it brother!
You'll love it
Then read it again
That Bible is suspiciously thin.
it's this one btw
several people recommended the NIV as an accessible starting point though I'm sure I'll explore other versions in the future 
followed and will be praying, amazing news brother!
If this is your first time … welcome. 🙏 I’ve read the Bible multiple times in my life & it always offers various interpretations. Enjoy.
I recommend reading the Essence of the Bhagavad Gita at the same time.
Also, it’s just a book. A useful book. It’s not God. God is God. Book is book.
Nice. I’m 1/3 through ESV
aw man am I going to have to unfollow you already? what percentage of your notes are going to be weird religious stuff?
I'm into fiction, too.
Love your new profile pic… it’s like you’re scanning for relays with the laser eye. 👁️
nostr:npub158qesjv52ysz2vnl2trmd5apgd9r07ah5vvrsr9tfqe03k4vhdfqcl4xtl give you the laser eye upgrade? 😀
thought this was a mining rig for a second
Looking forward to your hearing your thoughts and impressions. Dr Radmacher does an excellent “how to study your Bible” series from the 90s that I found especially helpful. Folks often want to take their western thinking and impose it on the text Or misinterpret the context or intended meaning. He does a good job at building on an easy to understand hermeneutic. I can figure out how to push the MP3s somewhere if interested.
If you have any questions, please ask me. #LatinRite #Catholic

God Bless!
I did exactly this just over a year ago. The result was absolutely life changing. Bitcoin is truth and (by God’s grace) I followed that thread to Truth Himself. Truth is out there for us to know it/Him, firstly through our reason and then enlightened through faith (reason and faith never contradict) as is beautifully portrayed by Dante in the Divine Comedy. I’d be more than happy to share my story, experience, and/or thoughts if it’s of interest. One thing I would encourage is that you attend mass, especially with Holy Week coming up. A profound celebration that really brought everything together when I first attended last year. Praying for you 🙏 ✝️

KJV bro…but happy for you. Life isn’t a big random bang it’s by design of a creator …
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1 KJV
The Bible Recap podcast/plan is great. It takes you through the Bible in one year with a podcast everyday to recap what you read. I’m almost done with my first go around. I would recommend it for the start of the new year.
