hi,iam new to the board ..this subject as given me a few sleepless nights..i found i became so worried about what Bible i owned.that i spent more time reading Books about the Bible i owned..then if i had time, i would read the Bible i owned!
iam a great fan of j green as well .. i do read the KJV + NKJV ..but i dont think i would/want ever be in a position where i would say one Bible is the One..
iam reminded of when John's disciples came to Jesus asking if he was the Messiah "Then Jesus answering said unto them,Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached"
maybe iam naive. but when i think about most scriptual debates i come back to that verse..whats your fruits!as far as preaching the Gospel, i cant see anything in any of the major Bibles that would prevent God's message or not back up God's message
the only thing i would say about different translations.. is a moral point, its kind of sad how much moneys spent on them..so many different bibles/study bibles..kind of sad with the poverty in this world.but hey i voted for Blair that makes me a socialist
as my fav verse says "Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. "
