I started reading the Bible just before I was pregnant (my baby is five months old now) and read it from cover to cover. This is my second time around and am pretty pleased with my Bible Study.
I have always been curious about many different subjects in life. I am in the medical field and am an Actor/Model. I studied science extensively while in college and understand most of what the world has to offer. I am well versed in design, fashion, and the arts as well.
Although I have read different religious texts and experience others, the Bible was uncharted territory. I have read many different books of Siddharta Buddha, Tibetan Buddhism, Astrology, Egyptian/Greek/Roman Mythology, traveled to Japan - experienced Shintoism, different cultural practices of Voodoo, I even had paranormal encounters of ghosts/spirits... the list pretty much goes on and on...
Pretty much growing up I had some sort of adversity to Christianity... not that they did anything wrong, but the introductions were always so forced and I found it repelling. In those uncomfortable encounters, I decided to make a choice and listen to what I've always heard about Evangelicals, etc...
Now, being wholly introduced to the Word of God I understand why people were so overzealous in preaching about Christianity and the Word of God. But before that could happen, I had to get my hands on the Bible. Unbeknownst to me, there are many different versions of it!!! I had to do my research and it led me to The King James Version. It took me half a day to find a copy of that in New York City! I went to huge churches, cathedrals, and book stores! NOTHING! None of the book stores even sold the Bible!! I was astonished! Anyway, I did find a copy at The Christian Science center. I love it!
I'll continue more of my findings and discoveries in later posts...hope you enjoyed reading!
