I'm new to the faith, still learning to fully accept. I do not and will not ever call myself a Christian, I do not support organized religion, I do however call myself a Follower of Jesus Christ. Been reading the Geneva Bible, and have a Harper Collins Bible on the way. I think Bart Ehrman is worth a watch, very respected and highly regarded Biblical scholar, who is actually agnostic himself, but his personal faith isn't apart of my faith journey. I'm not interested in any kind of group though at all, just wanted to chime in, and wish everyone in here the best of luck!!

Neat! Thanks for jumping in. :) Also, if you don’t mind me asking, why the Geneva and Harper Collins Bibles? My go-to translations are ESV, NASB, and (if I need some interpretive ideas or affirmation) NLT b/c those are the most word-for-word precise translations of the original manuscripts.

The Bible has been edited so much over the generations, that I'm personally very skeptical of which Bible's I read. The Harper Collins Bible is a NRSV, and includes Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books, and 60 different Biblical scholars who gives personal footnotes and things like that.
