Also, if you’re unaware, Gideons pocket Bibles for spreading the gospel are just New Testament + Proverbs and Psalms.
I wish that were the official Bible. The messages and even the temperament of Yahweh himself got a lot more tame.
To be quite honest, if I do ever become a Christian again, that will literally be my Bible. Just like ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology, the Old Testament has some interesting stories to tell, but I wouldn’t use it as a source of theological or moral insight.
