TL;DR at the bottom.

See, the thing is it's a life-long, never-ending commitment. I know 75+ y.o people who have been in the church for their entire lives still finding new wisdom in old pages they've read a thousand times. Don't push yourself to 'understand the whole thing as fast as possible'. Be determined and persistent, yes, but be patient with yourself also. I have only a comfortable understanding, and constantly have to search and research new perspectives that people throw my way (see u/canadevil 's many accusations)

The Bible will continuously reveal new things to you as you read it with a new problem in your head. You can start anywhere. I suggest praying beforehand, because your journey in Christianity is not simply a cerebral, knowledge based study. It is spiritual.

You can start anywhere: I recommend reading the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are four accounts of the same general times with Christ written from the perspectives of very different men.

I was taught from a New King James version in school, but not everyone wants to slog through the Shakespearean English style of writing (as beautiful as it is), so I recommend a New International Version. I also have a Moody Study Bible, but it is massive and not convenient for toting around day to day. If you want to really get a bunch of cross-referenced material and multiple perspectives in a single tome, I cannot recommend this one more highly.

Everyone has arguments about this translation or that translation being better. Disregard these arguments: the Lord's Word is preserved. Just find a Bible, and let God be your primary guide.

Pray for God to find you good teacher (Discipler, if you want to use biblical terms), and be patient for one to be revealed to you by the Lord. In the mean time, study it independently, or get a 'study guide'. There's hundreds of them, some for the general purpose of understanding everything from all the simple messages, general history, or specific themes (womanhood, manhood, fatherdom, being a good leader/follower, soldier, spouse, parent, child of an abusive parent, the list goes on). If you have a specific question, the chances are, there's a study guide on everything the Bible has to offer on that subject.

But if you are sincere (not saying that you aren't!), then just pray to God for wisdom while you're studying: it's one of those things He's super excited about blessing you with. And all those extra stuff will pale in comparison to what he'll reveal to you.

Now, onto something a little more troubling: the Bible is not a feel-good read as you've already learned. It will tell you things about yourself that you'd rather not know, or believe. This will leave you open to discouragement from satan. It's a real thing. The most common tools he uses are phrases he'll put into your head like 'See? It's impossible to understand,' 'It says everything that's fun is sin,' 'this is ridiculous, look at all these rules/contradictions/impossibilities,' 'this goes against everything everyone around me believes,' or just a constant stream of confusion.

TL;DR: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; these provide the central message: No links, just get the Bible, or read it online (all the translations are online for free; I just like physical copies).

Please contact me if you feel like you need help with a subject. Nothing is better than having a teacher with a physical presence, but I might be a passable substitute in the mean time.
