Christians, when you tell others to read the Bible do you include the Talmud in that advice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud
Have you read it?
Did you know that the Catholic Apocrypha includes it as one of the most important things to read if you are learning about the bible?
Protestants did you know that Martin Luther included it in his bible as the Middle Testament and wanted everyone to read it?
Does it make you sad that one of the main reasons it is left out of modern bibles is because doing so decreases printing costs?

I am not a Christian but I am learning as much about them as I can.
I feel that everyone living in this world should know as much as they can about political minorities that have strong voting power.

I am, also, trying to learn about Islam for the same reason.

I've never read the Talmud. It isn't actual scripture.
I didn't know it was in the Catholic Apocrypha. I am not Catholic and I do not agree with most of the teachings of that church nor its bible.
I also don't care what Martin Luther included in his bible. If it isn't in the King James bible it isn't scripture.
And no, it doesn't make me a bit sad that it's left out. If people want to read it they can seek it out - it's available.
You should study out the history of the Bible. Majority Text bibles - such as the King James - are from a collection of accurate and doctrinally correct documents and manuscripts. They are perfectly consistent with each other, the only differences are spelling errors and the odd typo. Minority Text bibles - such as catholic bibles as well as NASB and NIV etc. - are from a collection of documents that are riddled with inconsistencies and doctrinal errors as well as heresy. They can't be trusted. That's why I don't trust the apocrypha or the talmud....they are part of those incorrect documents.

Many people don't know about the Apocrypha, the Talmud, etc. You're pretty smart to know it. No, I don't tell people to read it. Many won't ever go that deeply. Does the absence because of printing costs make me "sad?" Uh.. not sad, just a weird reason. Are you sure? Peace.

i think distinctive the reasoning is that most of the bibles do not even stick to an analogous message by way of certainty the unique text cloth fabrics. Heck the Catholic bible even re-wrote the ten commandments!!! How can we've faith the magnificent certainty, whilst each and every and each distinctive branch edits it to in good shape their very own needs? study it on your guy or woman fairly of in step with somebody to interpret it for you. undergo in suggestions, people make blunders. God dosn't.

That is wrong to leave it out i think well to tell someone they should read the bible maybe you should tell them about your salvation maybe they will wake up and see that God is there and they need him

You have convinced me to read it.
Is there a version or translation you could recommend?
