I am new at Bible reading, can you help?

You can fret over word meanings till you end up frustrated and accomplish nothing. If you are new at Bible reading have a look at the overview and the main theme and purpose of the Bible until you get a handle on that. Getting into minute details of often controversial and unclear doctrines will just leave you frustrated. There is so much that is clear and undeniable in the Bible, leave the nit pickin' for those with nothing better to do.
