The Bible
If you are in anyway religious and read the Bible, which version do you read? I know that different religions have different Bibles, and even within the Catholic faith we have several different versions of the Bible. I read the King James version. When I took Bible study in 1999 the minister who taught the class would only use the King James version. I actually had a different version, so he gave me a copy of the King James and I've stuck with that one.

King James, You couldn't pay me to read the NIV or any other version.

Well I read the more "modern" version without all of the "Thou" sentences, just because the others are easier for me to understand. Although it takes away from the meaning of the words, since the other version is so much more widely used, I would imagine.
I guess it doesn't matter which one is used as long as the message ends up the same! Andrea

I like both the NIV and KJV. The KJV especially is so poetic, like music.

I know James Earl Jones has narrated an audio version of the KJV. I'd also love to hear Morgan Freeman narrate the Bible. He DID play "God" in Bruce Almighty & Evan Almighty, after all...

How about a Gregory Sierra narrated version of The Bible? I'm sure you would love that.   |

I use the NIV, but I also like to use the NASB or The Message as cross-references when I'm having trouble understanding a verse.
That's why I'm thankful for sites like Bible Gateway.

My "main" Bible is the KJV. I do have a Women's Devotional Bible and the NIV as well that I read when I am really studying a certain topic.

It depends.
For just reading, I like both the King James and the NIV. For study, I like the NIV, the Living Bible, the Message Bible, and I really like the Amplified as well. There are also tons of study Bibles centered around different themes. I like the Maxwell Leadership Bible. And the NIV that I have is actually the NIV Study Bible... I also have a Men's Devotional Bible...there are Devotional Bibles for Men, Women, Teens, and Kids, Husbands, Wives, etc... Anyway, the moral of all this is, you can never have enough Bibles in the house! |

I use NIV and NKJV most of the time. Our church always uses NKJV, gotta love us Southern Baptists.
