Have you actually read the Bible?

[WMS]

More than half, Christian. Or in other words, I'm doing a years-long process of reading the entire thing. I've finished the New Testament, and am partway through the Old Testament (and I intend to read ALL of it, including all of the books that some branches but not all use, plus stuff like the Book of Enoch, etc.). Not that I'll stop there...there's still the holy books of other faiths (Torah, Koran, Bhagavad Gita (sp?), and the other stuff Frodo listed), plus the best additional Christian works (Origen and Augustine, Aquinas, etc.), plus additional works from other faiths, etc, etc, etc. This will take some time.

Hughento, congratulations! Leviticus is one zillion rules with a little action in the center - 'And Aaron's sons offered unholy fire to THE LORD, and THE LORD fried their asses', or something like that.

Vorlon, I am impressed.

I have read it several times and am in the process of translating my own version.

That is wrong 100% wrong.. God made the Bible who are you to make a version? No one....

The stuff that comes out of your mouth sometimes....

The version that you've probably read?  It's a translation.  See people didn't speak modern English back thousands of years ago.  They didn't even speak English at all.  Hell, all the stuff in the bible didn't even take place in an English speaking country!  So unless you are fluent in both Ancient Greek and Hebrew, you are being a total hypocrite.

And Aramaic. Can't forget that.

And Aramaic. Can't forget that.

Actually, while they did speak that, you wouldn't need it to read the original Bible, because none of the original Bible was written in Aramaic.

You would need it to be able to watch Jesus getting pwned without subtitles in Mel Gibson's movie, however.

So I've heard. No, I haven't seen The Passion of the Christ, so I couldn't comment firsthand...
