let me give you an analogy:
Say, you have no knowledge about medieval/renaissance england/scotland and you want to learn something about those period, would you go and watch "braveheart" and "elizabeth" to gain knowledge about those periods, instead of reading books by historians?
sure, there might be some historical truth in braveheart and elizabeth, but since you have no knowledge in those historical periods, you don't which ones is the truth and which ones are made up.
The same thing with you with your insistence to read bible.
By your assertion in the other threads, you have very little knowledge in qur'an and ahadith (to the point that you cannot tell the difference between ayat and surat), so would you be able to tell which parts of bible is the truth and which parts are made up?
Also, say you want to read bible, then which version of bible do you want to read? there are literally thousands of bible versions. Are you going to read protestant or catholic bibles? Most protestant bibles have 66 books, while catholic bible has 73 books.
Are you going to read the whole bible, or are you going to read OT only or NT only?
Did you know that most of NT books were written by unknown scribes and in different language than the language of jesus (pbuh), and less than 18% were about jesus (pbuh), while the rest were about conjectures by unknown people?
Are you aware that reasonable people approach the books they are reading appropriately?
Someone is not reading "a brief history of time" because they expect to learn how to plant flowers.
Or are you reading Harry Potter to learn magic?

Are you telling us that Qur'an is the same as Bible?
May Allah gives you guidance.

it is great that you have knowledge about christianity, but it is ridiculous when you don't even have knowledge about your own religion.
