I've read the entire bible in KJV many times so I recognize any of that scripture even if I can't pinpoint exactly what book it's from. I've also read the Koran (not entirely because I vomited halfway through) and I recognize it's style.

really, literally vomited? i have considered "seeing how the enemy thinks" but haven't finished the OT yet (read the NT first, when i returned to scripture few years back). koran, talmud, torah -- would it help or harm me to absorb the knowledge in those books?

after i posted the above comment, i highlighted a piece of text and searched on it, and turned out it was from Amos. which i might not have gotten to yet...

No, not literally vomited. That's just hyperbole. But, the Koran is as boring as fuck and worse than just boring, it's mind numbingly stupid. Read all the Talmud? No, I don't have that many years in my life but it's worth reading it if someone posts and excerpt. Reading the KJV of the bible is fine but it's worth noting that it's a translation that misses out on cultural context so I like to read up on what scholars have to say. One of the more interesting books I think is the book of Job. Then reading commentary on the book, rereading it and thinking about it. Most interesting aspect is when God compares the building of the pyramid to the creation of the world.
