I read the whole bible in little more than that

You can easily saw your own leg off in half an hour.

>>25212791
Awesome. Many Christians haven't even read the entire Bible. There's much to contemplate and a second reading will serve you well.

>>25212806
Prove it

>>25212810
No need to respond in kind to negativity. Better to ask for the Lord to open the eyes of the unbelieving.

>>25212762
is this reading order good for a newfag though? I like the picture maybe I'll follow it

Did he try to unpublish Ulysses after saying this or

>>25212762
What a bizarre schedule. Just read one book per day if the book is long, two or three per day if they're short.

>>25212796
Funny author to enlist to make this point, given Joyce quotes from the KJV about once per page in Ulysses.

>>25212762
I read through the new testament like it was a novel and I don't remember anything. I tried to read through the old testament 5 times and always get stuck at the same book. I think it's Exodus. I've forced myself through some truly terrible stuff, but nothing is as boring as the Bible. I need to take a slower approach next time and not try to read more than one book per day.

>>25212810
My point was ... why would you want to?

>>25213094
Sure, it's the canonical order split into 30 equal chunks.

>>25212762
I already have and didn’t get much anything from it honestly

He identified it as the OT book that gives him trouble.

What helps me is asking Chat to give a brief summary, key points, as well as important figures like Paul. With a little work you can probably get through in 20 days.

You should define which hermeneutical methods, and even the particular lexicons and word studies you'd like it to draw from before using AI as a Bible study tool, else you risk receiving some answers that draw from various traditions and aren't in alignment with the orthodoxy of whatever particular tradition or denomination you're most interested in.

>>25212796
Who did Joyce specifically dislike? I honestly don’t hear much about writers he was vehemently against which is odd. There seems to be some rule for every great writer which is that they must hate another great writer.
Nabokov > Dosto (among others)
Pound > Milton (lol filtered)
Tolstoy > Shakespeare (lol, love Tolstoy though)
Borges > Joyce (kind of)
McCarthy > Proust (corncob jelly)

What he >>25214697 said. Unless that is, you don’t care to make your own exegesis, or study others’ on more specific parts of it. It can work as a tool to help you look into it more thoroughly.

I read the whole thing and it was a tremendous waste of my time

>>25213523
There are only a handful of books in the Bible worth reading. Check out the Gospel of Mark, Galatians, Job, Ecclesiastes, Jonah, for some of the good ones.

>>25212762
I've just started Galatians. I find the epistles really tedious, like the minor prophets in OT.

Every time I try to read the Bible I get filtered by the OT. I've never even made it to the NT. I've heard it's better but I cant bring myself to skip to it
They should really just print out the NT on its own as the free Bible they hand out to laymen what's the official translation catholics use now?
