Which version do you use?

I use the RSV.

 

I use the NASB, NKJV, and NLT. I use them somewhat interchangeably, to cross reference what I read in each version. My NKJV is a "Baptist Study Edition" with commentary by Criswell, I like it for travel. Bruce

 

I'm three times a better man than you are
I use three different King James Versions:
the KJV 1611 edition
the KJV 1769 edition
the KJV 1873 edition.
The differences help illustrate easier
the real deep truths contained within
the written Word of God.
Those are on my computer desk.
The God's Holy Bible that i take to church
is God's written word for the 21st
Century (2001-2100) - the Holman Christian
Standard Bible (HCSB).

 

Very intresting that most people use more than one translation. I find that my KJV is my study guide for understanding and the NIV is my companinion and story book. While this might anger other people I do apologize but, to me the language in the Niv is understandable I do not have to work to find the meanings it's plain. Where as the KJV is something I must study in order to understand. I don't think thier are flaws in either.

 

Ed Edwards,
As PastorJeff requested, I would also like to hear more about the Holman CSB. I just purchased it on the CD version (Bible Navigator) from the local Lifeway store.
Regards, Bruce

 

I've got some advice for you. Go find yourself a board that is in Dutch or French or German.

 

Ed, unlike you, I am not confused as to which Bible is really God's Word for the English-speaking people.

You may think this is "God's Holy Bible" but as far as translations is concerned it ranks near the bottom of the barrel.

 

Terry Herrington:Ed, unlike you, I am not confused as to which Bible is really God's Word for the English-speaking people.

Terry, Ed has listed several editions of the KJV, each different from the other. Which one is your fave, and why? This is what pastor Jeff asked.

 

There are 71 threads in this forum which mention
the HCSB.
The name "Edwards" is mentioned in 110 threads

At the bottom of each of my posts is the
number of posts that I have made.
Click on that number, it will give you a list
of my last 50 posts.

I see no reason to redirect my effort here
from that which is important to that which
some cannot do or will not do.

I have been using the HCSB to teach my
Sunday School class for over a year now.
It seems clearer than the NIV and more likely
to read like the KJV than the NIV does, except
where clarification takes place. Then NIV seems
to try to be different when it isn't necessary.

Pastorjeff: "Ed Edwards,
I haven't seen much of this Holman Bible.
I've heard good things. Tell me why you prefer it."

The HCSB is available on-line for free at:
http://bible.crosswalk.com/
along with many other good Bibles, all
of which and each of which is the Written
Word of God preserved for our generation.
I note only the HCSB is completed in the
21st century (2001-2100) where we now live.

Praise Iesus!

Thank you for the consideration of this
request.

 

Thanks Ed, and I will try reading the forum as well (all 71 threads, well maybe not all). Regards, Bruce

 

Yes and he also lives in one of the most racist parts of the country too. When I lived there I could not believe the comments I heard by some people in the church.

BTW, as far as being a racist is concerned, my wife is a Mexican who was born in Mexico. Where was your wife born?

 

We note this question is being ignored. Doesn't that look foolish

 

It's also availiable at www.biblegateway.com

I'm hoping that it becomes availiable at e-sword soon.

 

Where are you at so far and what do you think of it? I have read the entire NT, but not the entire OT yet.
