It also teaches you what to do, but you have to read it the way a Gnostic Christian does to get the full value of the scriptures. Read them and all holy books in an esoteric ecumenist way and you just might enlighten yourself.princesscookie19 wrote:no,and I wouldnt want to-Simply because its all about Sins-Dont do this-dont do that.and a history of people and there lifes and what they followed.

I think the bible lost most of it's usefulness when people started taking that book of myths literally.DavidPugh wrote:I found the Gospel of Thomas a handy quick reference to the sayings of Jesus http://gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html Even better I'd recommend Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings (Seastone) Paperback – January 12, 1999 by Marcus Borg. It really helps to give weight to the theory that Jesus spent his missing years in India. More importantly it gathers some of the most fundamental and iconic wisdom of the Buddha which Jesus borrowed to bring his message of peace and love. I studied Religious Education at an advanced level when I still called myself a Christian and found no time for the brutality of the Old Testament. It has nothing to do with Christianity just a history of Palestine.
Are you reading those as myth or literally and as history?ralfy wrote:If you're Catholic, you can follow the Daily Roman Missal and after three years get to read almost all of it.
Another option is the Great Adventure Catholic Bible.
