A chocolate Bible?

[MorningGlory]

I love the KJV and found this wonderful bible that has the KJV and Amplified side by side. So if I'm reading and run into something I don't understand, all I have to do is glance over and receive clear understanding. Sadly to say...I left it at a conference and someone walked off with it. Be getting a new one soon.

Oh no! Who would take your Bible? Well, we can pray that the person really needed it and is brought to a better understanding of the Word because of it. Then I hope they pray for forgiveness for taking it.

I have no idea, but after a little melt down I was ok after a hour. My thoughts was the same..they must have really needed one. Thanks for your concern

I found the choices very limited. For reading, or listening, I enjoy the NJKV, but for deeper studies, I prefer the Holy Spirit teachings through the Interlinear Bible accompanied with the NKJV, ASV and the NASB.

I like bibles with big text and the word of God from cover to cover in them

I use the NASV because it is my study bible, and the ESV at Church and somrtimes at home.

All versions that I have downloaded on E Sword for Worthy (hey what can I say, I am lazy....)

[Isaiah 6:8]

Sorry I just picked 5 real quick, I should have tried to figure out some more!

Isaiah posted asking what bible we prefer using.

I want to tell you about mine. It matters not what version in this case.

It is my best friend, and I feel lonely without it.

It has travelled with me in cars, boats, planes, helicopters, on foot, through borders, into board rooms, to weddings, funerals, home groups, prayer meetings, churches, and dozens of other places. It has been in my backpack in wild areas I have worked and slept under trees in the open in.

It is battered and bent. The hard cover is delaminating and the corners are bending up.

Some of its pages are stuck together and have to be carefully pried apart after my tent collapsed onto me during a rainstorm while on outreach in Mozambique. So lots of water marks.

The other water marks are tears

A chocolate Bible?

:24:

Hey, you might be on to something there, nebula. Chocolate may be more than just the 4th food group . . .

I use the NASB for reading, but the KJV, NASB, Amplified, and others in study.

I started out with the KJV right after I got saved because that's what everyone was using back then. The Lord moved me around from one to the other since, but He is still found among the pages of what ever version I read.

[Openly Curious]

Just curious as to what version everyone prefers.

I personally prefer the New King James for everyday reading, and I use the NKJV, NIV, KJV, and Amplified for my study.

Forewarning, I will shut this down if it turns into a KJV only thread. I want to know what people use and if they want to why, but no arguments!

I use the KJV as I have have always used it. I do prefer the KJV over other versions this is both for personal reading as well as for personal study. If I vere from the KJV I only will use the NIV version and nothing else. God bless

I generally use the NASB...although I have been known to cross out loads of the commentary....I also like and use the King James, and although some will no doubt holler sacrilege I have crossed out and altered a couple of the words...

The version I personally enjoy above all others is the Orthodox Jewish one, mostly because of the language and sense of cultural Jewishness that permeates from it....I find David Stern's translation equally helpful, and the notes he provides pretty instructive and thought provoking.
