Reading a translation is fine desu. Don't worry about anything getting mixed up or lost in translation.

don't bother reading the bible. read monastic and theologian literature and go read about individual bible passages when they come up for adequate context. never rely on your own personal understanding of the bible you just read. Best way to achieve this is to not read it.

Wrong on many levels. Appreciation of the Bible and receiving the messages of Christ yourself is an integral part of Christianity, regardless of denomination. Relying on mindless and destructive theological debates for your information is dumb.

As someone who has an interest in early historical documents and wants to read the first testament purely for this reason, what's a good version?

Anyone else walking in the Spirit?

"On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as[a] the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified."

"Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit."

Water should be taken to mean a subjective symbol of the Spirit of God in the mind of man. Just as people can sympathize with one another, they can sympathize with God, who is felt as an infinitely expansive love.

I prefer the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition.

The Amplified Bible is good for enhanced clarity on the text.

The New King James version for a more modern version of the classic text.

And The New American Bible because the cross-referencing system is excellent, as long as you ignore some of the footnotes.
