When I was taught how to really read & study the bible it was by my friends who are Jehovah Witnesses. They were the ones that taught me to question, question, question. Also they taught me that messages were repeated at least 3 times in the bible, and to use other bibles to gain understanding when the language in the bible you are reading is confusing. The basic principles are things that parents should teach, other things seem to vary a bit from religion to religion, culture to culture, and person to person.
I have several bibles, and I have several books on witchcraft, pagan & wiccan traditions.
I read everything and love it here where I can ask questions and occassionaly attempt to answer one.
