Dominic,
I wouldn't say that I know Bible even well, on this forum for sure the I will find better scholars then I. I couldn't say as well how many times I've read it, because I don't know, I've never read it in one go (this method doesn't make sens to I. It is not story book, it is Icyclopedia of Ivity Wisdom.)
I don't even remember when I started to read it, it could be about age of 10-11 since now. I got my first Bible from my honorable great-grandmother, she was only one evangelic (Lutheran) in whole my family, dominated by catolics, atheist and orthodox, so She was the One who brought the Word to I. I use to read (and still do so) Bible printed in my native language, which first edition was printed in 1632 in Danzig (by lutheran congregation), translated from original languages (so no influence of KJV in it, and it is in original XVII century language), I do also read KJV english version, but only if I want to compare some verses, how they were translated to english.
The most important, I suppose, it is not great deal what version do the I read, as long the I is reading it.
I method is:
I think What I need to ask JAH for, then I Pray, Read and Meditate.
The answer is always there, some times immediately or within few days.
I found in Bible (don't remember which book), that the answer from JAH will always come after 7 days.
The quotation that I put on the forum are from Fetha Nagast and the choice of Bible verses was done by HIM, so it is not my wisdom, I am just a humble messenger .
Give Thanks and Praises to the Most High JAH.
Dominic, the I made very good point, Bible is a people Bible, it is the people who try to give it a color, don't worry I's self, read it and believe in JAH guidance, He will be there to tell I the True.
If the I will have questions, bring them to I and I forum, hopefully here will be someOne to help the I to overstand.
Last matter, JW are people like any others, but they use the Word of Bible like computers, them have a lot of information, but are unable to overstand them.
Blessed Love
Love Rastafari
