Eschatologists, what version of the Bible?

[Kinison]

NIV for me. Particularly the Zondervan study Bible.

[other one]

the one I use to study by is the 1972 release of the NASB    It seems to be the best word for word translation....  deeper study I use an electronic interlinear with both the Testus Recuptus and Nestle/Aland manuscripts with both Strong's and Englishman's concordance and three lexicons....

I tend to use the NKJV often but also like to compare with other translations from the 1599 Geneva all the way thru the current NASB.   Now that being said, there is no one translation that is error free.  The one thing that is good about the KJV is that it is a very good translation and the problems it does have are well known.  The problem with the plethora of new translations is that not all the errors within them are documented and well published.   Therefore it is probably wise to compare now and then and even dig a little deeper in the translation from time to time by using a Strong's or Young's concordance.

sadly as most cant read greek or hebrew we rely in faith on the translations we read.

 

Interesting poll results.

I am not a particular fan of the NIV, especially the later ones, nor do I think they are as bad as many make them out, but the Zondervan Study Bible (which had a new name now) is excellent. Some of the best helps and notes I have ever seen!

or, if you are really serious, don't settle for Young's, Vine's, Strong's, etc. got for the best and get the "A Greek–English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature" by Bauer, Danker, Arndt, and Gingrich. They are pricey, but you only have to buy them once, you can find them used, and they will last you for you lifetime. I bought my first one new in 1981, and I bought a used 2nd one earlier this year, since I have a habit is mislaying books, this way, hopefully I can always find one.

When it comes to (studying) the end-time, I prefer the KJV, but when something in it isn't clear, I'll read several other versions to get a better understanding.  
However, when I write or reply to a topic, I may not always use the KJV.  Instead, I'll often choose the version I feel says it the best.  If they are close, I'll stay with the KJV. 

Cheers
