How should I read the Bible? I'm not interested in dogmatic theology, I want the nuggets of truth contained within. Heresy this, heresy that. Who cares? Reading it in any language other than Latin was considered heresy. Biblepill me.

First learn world history, if you want...
All the way back to Homo Sapiens, Neanderthals, & Denisovans.
"Spirit" is quite literally Empathy.
"Angels" are simply messengers (of light of darkness)
God is love, the deepest part of our universal connection to everything.
God is humanities Dad; he gets jealous too.
Placing yourself above him (which we can due to freewill) is what Satan preferred too. But he is always regected by the big guy.
God is quite literally everything.
The bible is code for everything we need to understand about the world, empathy, & how to progress.
Macro (entire human race) & Micro (individually)
Surrender the Ego in exchange for spirit only when youre ready though. Itll hit.
Yeshua really was that nigga... & they hate hit ass.

why did God seem to change personalities in the Old Testament compared to New Testament?

You should read the Bible with an open mind and with love for your fellow humans. The best places to find the truth in the Bible are in the books of the New Testament, i would say Romans. Reading it in any language is perfectly alright it was meant to be universal and Latin was not the first version of out Bible anyway, the Greek was.

The Books of Luke and John contain the story of Jesus shitting on the Jewish elite and telling people how to live a fulfilling and happy life. You MUST read in KJV, the most accurate translation based of the Textus Receptus. If you want cool nuggets of info, read the Book of Enoch, formerly in the Bible but removed because of Rome
Based questions user, happy reading

I’m a fan of Acts. It’s about the disciple Paul. He was a Jew but turned into James Bond later.
Kevin White
Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are the first recorded Red Pills about about Jews, Women, and life in general. Those 4 books should be your focus
Evan Peterson
Because he didn’t have to deal with a collective of Jews that didn’t choose him in the New Testament

ESV Study Bible and focus on the Wisdom books. Also, check out the long, if buried and condemned violently, history of Christian mysticism and anchorites and 'fools for Christ.'
Christian Watson
The big thing is God told the Israelites to kill all those people because they were so evil. And he actually waited until "their iniquity was fulfilled" IIRC. So they came and stopped the child sacrifice and all the other crap, and then the strict laws they had were the laws of Moses, and Jesus makes it known in the New testament that some of the laws were not even God's preference but Moses overrode it

No that's NIFB crazy southern Baptist stuff

there are none

different fiction books written by different authors

Common misconception. Other translations are perfectly fine as they are based on earlier translations found before the TR was indexed
Adrian Thompson
pray before for God to give you understanding and a clear mind free of distractions and then pray after for God to answer your questions and help it stick to your mind
id reccomend reading the new testament first and then the old
read it start to finish dont skip anything or jump around so you can get the full picture

No. Jesus said in Matt 5 "do not think I came to erase the law of Moses, but to fulfill it." He literally said "na moseta" which means "don't even begin to think" that he came to destroy the law
Wyatt Walker
Read a Bible in modern English. KJV is fine, it's not perfect despite what they want you to think. Know the small errors of whatever Bible you choose. And just deal with it.
>Matthew-Revelation
>Ezekiel-Malachi
>Genesis-Exodus
>Joshua-1 Kings (end with Solomon)
>Job
>Psalms-Ecclesiastes (Read Ecclesiastes KJV)
>Isaiah and Jeremiah
When Reading Revelation, Ezekiel-Malachi, or Isaiah, don't just stop after a chapter of reading. If a prophecy or a thought clearly continues on, read it through. Often times it will last a while. Make sure you give yourself time to do that.
If anything strikes your interest write it down with the chapter and verse. And keep track on a piece of paper all the things that struck you.
Also if you want keep a computer where you can look things up.
Ancient maps are also helpful to have next to you to quickly check.

I forgot to add...pray before you read for understanding.
Absolutely important.

The Textus Recpetus was made off the writings that existed earlier than the writings you referred to. The fact that it was composed in the 1500s is irrelevant. The other writings are missing verses and mistranslated some nuanced but very key things
Brayden Sanders
I recommend just starting in Genesis and trucking on through. There are some road bumps early, (Numbers chapter 7, 1st and 2nd chronicles, etc) but after that it really isn't that hard and shouldn't take you more than 3-6 months but there is unfortunately no shortcuts to understanding the Bible you just have to read it for yourself.
Logan Barnes
Read "The King James Only Controversy" by James White. He refutes all the points you're referring to and more.
Mason Hall
What a man. Truly an empath.
Leo Gray
everything he quoted was directly from the Bible
Luke Ramirez
In one verse he says Moses added a thing because of the "hardness of your hearts" when talking about divorce
Carson Turner
Yeah but those guys have pretty unbiblical eisegesis wishing death upon homosexuals and Obama on par with Steven Anderson
Andrew Reed
I've seen both sides of the argument and even a documentary on the issue. While I don't think there is some conspiracy, it is without a shadow of a doubt that the KJV is the most accurate translation. Not that it matters too much as these things are small and nuanced
Logan Kelly
I'd love to see the return on investment on your 'John the Baptist' hates Jesus church.
