Isaiah. Daniel. Revelation. These are for those grounded in the faith. Mathew, Mark, Luke, an John are for the noobies. My way of reading the bible: two chapters a day; Genesis 1, and Matthew 1. Day two; Genesis 2, an Matthew 2, etc... ad infinitum. Continue until you reach the end of the old testament, then begin the old testament again, carrying on where you were with the new testament. Read the whole Bible, and then some, in less than a year.
No. There's a continuity between the covenant in the Old Testament and the New. You cannot come close to having even a basic understanding of the New Testament if you don't read the Old. Christ was prophesied many many times in the Old Testament and typology between the two gives us more understanding of the faith. E.g. Moses being denied the promised land because he disobeyed God and his duties being transferred to Joshua to lead the Hebrews to the promised land is a mirror and foreshadowing of the synagogue being denied the true promised land of heaven due to their disobedience and their place in God's favor transferring to the Church. The names Joshua and Jesus are even the same name in Hebrew. Or how the Virgin Mary is the new Ark of the Covenant and should be venerated as such (King David being presented with the Ark prompts him to declare his unworthiness that the Ark of the Lord should come to him, similar to how St. Elizabeth exclaims "who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" when the pregnant Virgin Mary visits her).
There's a reason why the Church put the Old Testament AND New Testament both together when they compiled the Bible in the late 4th century.
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished” (Matthew 5:17–18). This important statement of our Lord gives us insight into His mission and the character of God’s Word. Jesus’ declaration that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, not to abolish them, obviously contains two statements in one. There is something Jesus did and something He did not do. At the same time, Jesus emphasized the eternal nature of the Word of God.
Jesus goes out of His way to promote the authority of the Law of God. He did not come to abolish the Law, regardless of what the Pharisees accused Him of. In fact, Jesus continues His statement with a commendation for those who teach the Law accurately and hold it in reverence: “Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19).

I, however, certainly do not want to discourage you from reading the OT
Christ fulfilled the Law and the Prophets. He defeats sin/evil. He forgives all. He saves all. The very source of pure Love.
Yet so many are scared of their own 'faith walk'... and seek any road away from the One Path.

Prove two simple things and everything you said would be believable:
If you can't prove both, your entire cult narrative is a joke.
Figures it's a Canadian.
Figures. It's a brainwashed cultist.
