Im sure some churches have small numbers, but I do not think that means anything other than they are small churches. If you check out www.biblegateway.com, you can find english bibles in NKJV and NASB. These will be in easier english for you to understand, if you wish to read them in clearer english.

Guest NewPilgrim Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) Silvia, if you are keen to really understand the meaning and the beauty of the bible, I would recommend that you find a website that teaches you about the original hebrew and greek writings. Understanding Jewish culture and jewish history is very very useful in understanding the bible. There are many websites written in english that will help you with this. http://www.moriel.org is very good. I dont know if they have similar websites that are written in your home language, but if you can find any perhaps they might be even more useful to you. As far as bibles are concerned I would recommend using a New King James (NKJV) and an English Standard Version (ESV) Shalom.
