What bible do you read and why do you read this particular bible? I read the King James Version of The Holy Bible, because it was ordered by King James to have people to interprete it for his knowledge, not for religious reasons. That is why I think it comes the closest in translation. And do you use the Bible as a whole or just hold tight to certain scriptures? I guess just reading some of the other threads has me wondering, I feel I should look at all views and then wieght them out against the Bible to see if that is how I should line up my life. I want to be a willing vessel for God, and do all I can to honor him not myself. And being that I am human and by nature am prone to mistakes. I am seeking out you're imput. thanks

While I grew up on the KJV and learned so much and received my salvation by the influence of the KJV, I have since found that the NKJV and the NIV are both wonderful in that they are more easily readable and understandable. I prefer a more modern english translation because I find that when witnessing, people get a better grasp of what you are reciting and showing them.

Why would I want to show a non-believer whom I may hardly know a bible written in a form of the language we do not use? I would want it to be easily grasped by today's non-believer!

When I study, I add The Message to give me another fresh inspiration about the meaning of some passages.

To these I add concordances and commentaries.

Blessings! :blink:

My friend I read the kjv it was given to me at Christmas time by my brother in law. It is the first bible I ever owned. I still have it, it is all beat up and rather raggy looking but I sstill find it a great deal of comfort. It also has a Christian outline in it that breaks down many of the truths that are discussed on these boards. But the truth of matter is, unless you ask God for His Help it doesn"t matter what bible you use. You will still not understand. I always encourage any of my friends when we are taking a bible lesson first to pray to God and ask for His Help. After all Since He wrote it,who better to explain it. Love in Christ littlejoe

I also use concordences and comentaries, I find them very insightful I also use the Strong's dictionary. I don't have the big strong's dictionary yet I'm not sure of it's full name but it has a lot more to it than mine. I want to be so full of the Lord's word that it will (like the Bible says) pour out of me as living water. The other night i woke up to "listen and absorb but not like a sponge." I thought a sponge is absorbent right , then a little more thought , it can be squeezed out dry. I don't want to be dry. I want to stay hungry for more of God he is so wonderful and there is sooo much to learn. thanks

I like KJV and ESV (when I can't understand KJV). Most discussions such as this will turn into a debate about what text a Bible is based on. Supposedly, the KJV was translated from a different text (Received text I think) from the newer versions, but I don't know for sure. :blink:

KJV and ESV... :24::blink:

I love the KJV and am familiar with the language and love it..

I use the ESV for a more modern translation because it is closest to what the KJV actually says...

I will also read the Amplified sometimes....pretty wordy... :24:

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
