if you have friends who have read the bible then its better to read with them so that you can be able to discus with them.. the bible has so many parables that it's better to share while reading it coz you may not understand all the words in it...but if u dont have these kind of friends then you can always read and try to reflect afterwards and if you have passages that you dont understand you can always approach sombody (priest,pastor,parents if they are religious) to clarify and discus this things...

The Bible is a study. It is not ment to be read as a novel. I have been a Christian for 6 yrs and have not made it through all of the Bible. But I know many, many who have. But none who have , that I know would tell yo to just  start at the begining and read to the end. \n\nI recomend Starting in The New Testiment. Try First John. Or Luke Chapt 1 & 2 and then go to First John...\n\nfor my pov on the Bible:\n\nhttp://pages.zdnet.com/mikevanauken/mikesinternetoutreach/id4.html

actually even the king james version is currupte (nice try trying to help) the only way you'll get the full effect is reading the hebrew text. the message bible is nice but its more of a study guide to the bible then a translation

Search the Scripture to find God's will.\n\nRead & study the Scripture with faith, guided by the Holy Spirit. If one reads Scripture looking for errors or contradictions, etc, it is worthless superficial reading which even Satan will help you with.\n\nRely on God's Wisdom to understand Scripture; man's ~wisdom~ is folly.\n\nTrue Faith requires a spiritual relationship; it is not religion or denominationalism or non-denominationalism.

Read the Bible to understand His will for you, then let nothing stand in your way of doing it. Romans Chapt 12:1-2.

You need to follow the basic rules of hermeneutics. Understand a passage in the immediate context of the statements before it and after it. Cross reference the words or passages you are studying with the rest of the Bible to get the fuller view. The Bible often explains itself and that explanation is to be accepted before anyone else view. Certain churches or preachers have their own interpretations but it is most important to see for yourself by studying the Scriptures what is the best view. For example if you do a basic check with a Bible concordance on the words or subject of "keys of the kingdom, you will get a better understanding about that instead of what you will get by a dictionary description of the word "key" alone. Follow the basic rule of scripture that "the Scripture cannot be broken". That is to say that a view of certain scriptures should never go against what the Bible says about that subject. Be careful when you run into people who will say things like, " the Bible does say that but that's not what it means" or something similar to that because often they are not putting the Bible first. Often people accept a popular Christian's view or their pastors view because they are held in such high esteem. We should esteem others but not above the Word of God.  As far as the doctrine of salvation, I would not say that it is primarily taught in Acts because Romans and the Gospels hit on it alot as well.

There are a lot of good suggestion already written here, and frankly I don't think which version you use will make a lot of difference when you read it. It may down the road when you start to study and look for teaching in it. Then you will want to get an accurate version and stay away from paraphrases versions like the NIV.  The important thing is that you allow God to teach you while you read. In James 1:5 it says, "...if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." This is a promise from God that if you ask Him He will give you wisdom as you read. So, when you read it, pray in your heart and ask God to open it up to you. It is a spiritual book and needs the Spirit of God to direct you.

I read the Bible cover to cover every year. I read 3 chapters from the Old Testament every day and one chapter from the New Testament. I love it, b/c it keeps me close to God. I also meditate on scripture daily.

why bother looking for something about the bible. why not just read it yourself, or ask a christian about it? If you are really interested, just go to church yourself.........

To know right from wrong you need a foundation. I found that foundation to be very firm with the Bible. Every difficult moral decision I have had to make in my many decades of living have been illuminated by the light of scriptures.

Reading the Bible through in different translations helps it to make more sense.  Start with Living Word, then next year, read through in the NIV translation.  In my opinion, too many of us started with the King James, and that is a difficult translation until you get to know the Bible well.\nGood luck and GOD bless, the journey through the Word is worth it.
