I ended up talking to Helen and DJ on the phone last night, and by their powers combined, I feel better! *does a dance* (Disappointed?

I agree that the bible is very confusing at times. But its meant to be like a strainer. It weeds out the less interested, less didicated readers by being that way.

I say stick with it. It gets much easier to read to more you do it. I would also suggest considering getting a student study bible. I've never read one myself because i think its better to stick with the original king james version to get rid of all the errors the others have due to translations. But i've heard that student study bibles are much easier to get into, and then apply it to your own life.

Maybe you could start there and work you way to the real thing.

yeah, I've been wanting to get a study bible of sorts, but I don't know which one to get...I've heard the King James version is the definitive version to read, at least when it comes to the translation and everything...I'm not even sure where I'm going to go with the whole bible reading thing, I think I'll just decide when I get to that point, ya know? if anything, I just want to understand it better...

Well good for you.

If you're interested i have a resource for you. A video that covers the first part of the New testiment (the gospels). It's pretty good. And its free. Which is always good. I just sent you a online card that has a link where you can have one sent to you. (sorry if i sent it twice)
