I've started reading the Bible recently, I'm going to read the whole thing chronologically from Genesis to revelations. So far I'm a little over half way through Genesis but I'm confused. Is the old testament the exact same as the tanakh, or is it a modified version to make Jews look retarded compared to Christians? Or do Christians believe in Genesis too? I'm up to the part where Jacob returns to Canaan to reunite with Esau.
So far every story revolves around lying and cheating, buying everyone's favour with gold and belongings instead of just being a good person, betraying your own family, being unfaithful to your wife and taking as many concubines as you can. Abraham literally cucks himself to the king Abimelech by pretending his wife was his sister and giving her to the king because he thought people would kill him to get to his wife if he didn't lie, which the king then tells him is retarded and gives his wife back, only for Ishmael to do almost the exact same thing a few decades later. Also, God is portrayed as a manipulative liar and is constantly picking favourites and fucking over everyone else. It promotes the idea of not working towards improving yourself in any way and just praying to god to do all your work for you and then following his ridiculous commands without question even if they make no sense. What the fuck am I reading? Does it get better? Does the new testament exist to contradict all of this or do Christians believe in the old testament too?
Also, I'm reading pic related. Is this version OK or does the it butcher the story?
Read Genesis and Exodus, and then skip to the New Testament temporarily. You're going to get bogged down to shit in the old testament and miss the most important parts later on.

>Good News Bible Please consider a Living Bible for reading and a King James for study.

>Is the old testament the exact same as the tanakh, or is it a modified version to make Jews look retarded compared to Christians? No, yeah, even in their own myths jews and their high mythical heroes are total scumbags. Whiners and liars and betrayers. Wait till you get Exodus, as soon as they're out of Egypt they start all "OY, Moshe, you brought us out of Egypt just to starve us" and "Moshe, there's too many snakes" and "Moshe the sand is murder on my sinuses". Reading this shit you realize just how true stereotypes are. >pretending his wife was his sister No, no, you read it wrong. She is his sister, he told him only part of their relationship. Did you not read the one later where he does it again but explains "no, bro, she is my sister but we have different mothers and she is also my wife, yeah"? >What the fuck am I reading? Jew myths. Nonsense stories from a trash people. >Does it get better? There is exactly one good story in the whole book and it is the story of Samson.

> Is this version OK No, you are reading garbage. Get a King James Version, the true bible.

Protestant OT contains the same books as the tanakh but the order of the books differs and Catholics add a couple of books to the canon. I'd say the most common view is that the 10 commandments still hold, but apart from that, the New Testament supersedes the Old Testament.

Christianity starts at the new testament

Make sure you do the following: > Read the King James Versions Don't skimp out on this one. No NIV, New King James Version, etc. They are all fakes and change meanings to verses. > Don't fall for the "Let's support Israel meme". It's completely un-biblical and goes against what Christ taught. > Remember that Christians follow the New Testament. Jews follow the Old Testament (along with the satanic Talmud), Christians follow the New Testament. Jews don't like that because Jesus guaranteed everyone salvation, not just the Jews. That's why they HATE Christianity soooo much. > Remember that 95% of "Christians" you see on TV are full of crap and are spreading false doctrine. There's no 'pre-trib' rapture, Christians, not Jews are gods chosen people, Jesus did not tell us to be 'tolerant' of others, he taught us to root our degeneracy and take a clear stance against it, etc. The bible, when followed correctly, is very based. There's a reason why the ONLY consistently growing white populations in the world are religious (Christian, specifically.)
