I hope I didn't come across that way - it was NOT my intent.

Honestly, same here. I SHOULD read it cover to cover, just to know
what's there, but at the same time I know if I just do a 'cover to
cover reading' that I'm not going to retain it all. So I concentrate
on portions, but not in a dogmatic sense.
As for translations, my personal read and share is the NIrV, but I
will often compare it to the KJV (not the original, but the one that
is commonly accepted today) but if I REALLY want to get into the
meanings I use Strong's concordance and see what the original words
meant.

Very cool! Our pastor is going for his 'doctorate' in theology online.
