I think Jesus would laugh. God has a wonderful sense of humor.

Yep, great sense of humor -- He created PC!

But no. I have several different versions laying around. I like the NKJV for reading... if I'm gonna STUDY, study, I crack out the KJV, NKJV, NIV, etc...and bible.com.

That too, but look at the armadillo - spare parts, I swear.

KJV for it's poetic simplicity, but Living Bible and NIV for interpretation.

I like the old King James. It feels more accurate to the original words, and the wording is spiritually uplifting.

 

[gamebirdsonly]

King James.

 

[debilorrah]

I think the reason I like New King James is because it still holds the old world flavor with an easier understanding. Me likee.

I didn't read all the pages up to this point but if it's not been mentioned, try looking at:

http://www.blueletterbible.org/

I believe there are 14 different bible versions and alot of other interesting things. It's amazing to be able to read a single bible verse in several different versions. And it's easy!

My favorite, NIV.

I love that site too! I forgot about that one because it is bookmarked! I really enjoy being able to see the same verse in different translations.
