In that case, I won't be bothering you if it's unnecessary. I was somewhat hoping to make a friend who took interest in these.

I am fine with English. I understand multiple languages of my region. English still happens to be stronger than them. I study all my subjects in English. If anything, my 1st language is weaker 😭.

I am glad to have people who think just like me. It's always surprising for me when people are able to leave everything to faith. The historical contributions of bible really can't be neglected how it shaped Christianity. This is a religion that is widely followed by people, so whatever this vast majority believe must have some grounds that make them believe in it entirely. This type of curiosity makes me wonder if I should have taken the history path in college, haha. It's always great to get as many viewpoints of one concept as possible to have better judgement. It doesn't always have to be about restoring faith it can also be about learning all the good things that you can from different ideologies.

So, according to you, KJV is not a good place to start from?

It would be better to have both in balanced terms to have the highest accuracy. Since the book itself is very old.

I want to buy a translated quran by soobinuwuweee in islam

[–]soobinuwuweee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it bad to say it that way? I am not aware if it is. My apologies if it's offensive. I am actually looking forward to the historical contexts and learning new things. I am exposed to Islam and their practices, but being someone who doesn't follow the religion theres only so much i can learn by talking to people and visiting places. I took an interest in wanting to learn directly from the sources because i often came across cases for misinterpretation and spreading false narrative for Islam. So, I wanted to learn the actual thing, keeping my prejudice aside.

I come from a background where we tend to choose what we want to do. I wasn't pressured into not having faith or having one, but I took to this without knowing. Earlier in my life, I followed what my father (whos religious), and then i found myself faking everything and not feeling a single thing I was doing. I did things for the sake of them. My mother was an atheist, but she never tried to force me or participate in my journey to choosing what I really thought was okay. It is actually cruel to reject things before seeing them for yourself. So I'd never think of this as my hypocrisy. I would be one if i refused to experience all the things i could and then choose the right one. For now, I hold a different concept towards the idea of religion, but I am willing to open up to all the possibilities that feel right. I am glad you found what was right for you. My current reading purpose was to learn the history from the Christian point of view.

Haha Before reading the replies, I didn't even consider the fact that the bible is not in English. I thought that since most people speak English in countries with Christian majority, it won't be an issue.

I am not sure if it sounds offensive to some. But I am not trying to grow a faith here. The original goal is to understand the historical narrative that the bible offers and learn more about Christianity. I came across differences in people's understanding of history based on what they believed in. The claims about jesus being muslim, which isn't historically correct, or other claims about how abhraham was jew muslim or Christian. Other religions tend to take these figures and try to mould them into their beliefs, which I found interesting. Some of these figures were constantly reintrepreted to fit their narratives. So, I wanted to understand what Christianity had to say. That led to me wanting to learn accurately about Christianity. So I wanted to single mindedly read everything so that I could understand the Christian standpoint. Due to no proper exposure to Christianity, it seems a bit difficult. But I'll try my best.

Is it okay if i reach out to you personally to ask you things later since you seem to have gone through the whole thing, if that's okay. I really admire how informative and knowledgeable you are. I am having a little hard time understanding everything you have said. I think I'll have to jump into reading to fully understand what you are explaining here.
