To not insult the intelligence of "others" this thread is not directed to those that have an issue with the Bible
This thread is for those who Enjoy reading the bible.

I rather the KJV and find no fault with the NIV for reference.

It depends on the research I am doing as to which Bible I refer to.
I have a full Bookshelf of varying Bibles.
I also use e-sword software and have about 24 Bibles installed.
Each translation and version has it's place since they do vary quite a bit.
It really is fascinating to compare the versus between Bibles.
It does take a discerning heart to put it all together.

I Agree with you on that it does take a discerning heart. I tried E-sword before, but I've fallen in-love with SwordSearcher, it has a wide range of information, from books to commentaries, maps and pics you name it. It's not free but after purchasing you can use the key on as many computers as you desire.

I absolutely hate the KJV since I started studying the Bible - it is really a horrible translation.  I use the NRSV mostly, sometimes the NIV, but as one of my professors once told me, the best translation is my own translation.

I have completely read the King James Version and the Holy Quran, and you would be amazed how similiar they are in what is said about GOD(ALLAH).

Scofield KJV ~ I have been reading the Bible from Gensis to Revelations for the past 22+ years.  I try to have my devotions the first thing in the morning.  The more I read and study the more I amazed at how ignorant I still am of God's Word.
Have a wonderful day!

I have a KJV and when I find something I am reading and I dont understand it, I will pull out my NIV or Living Bible to help me understand what it means.  Of the 3 I love the Living Bible.

King James Version. The NIV has removed and changed too many things.

KJV, NWT, and the BoM.

Atleast I did read and compare them up until I closed them in disgust. There are far better, enjoyable, and enlightening things to read in this world than an ancient book about a guilt-tripping childish god and magical superheroes who play the false-dilemma game left and right.
