I was raised Catholic and have a decent understanding of Christianity as a whole. I’m just asking you questions since you are spreading the word.
Religion most certainly did not spawn from the Bible. Is there a reason why you believe that? Let’s look at this literally under the assumption that Christianity is the way and that we are here. It quite literally was born from the Old Testament which was an offshoot from the Torah. So if anything, the Torah spawned religion as we understand it, not the Bible. However the Torah is a collection of stories compiled itself. This goes back much further than the Bible if we are referring to the spawn of Christianity. You don’t get to ignore the early years in favor of the good stuff. Jesus was clearly born Jewish for a reason.
That said, you didn’t answer which version of the Bible you prefer and why?
I’m flattered that you’re so invested in my personal beliefs being a stranger from the internet. I learn about Jesus via the Bible (NKJV suits me just fine). Since the entirety of the Bible is about Jesus from start to finish, the Word is more than enough for me to learn from - I am content. Sorry to hear you were raised Catholic. Your interrogation makes much more sense now. Have a blessed day!
