The King James Version. The teen study Bible, it has blue and orange swirls on the front cover.Was raised on the KJV or the Bible. But for those who say God dosen't exist....I think this song by Jill  Phillips  pretty much says it all about His belief in us. "When you start to doubt it you exist, God believe in you. Confounded by the evidence? God believes in you. When your light burns so dim, When your chances seem so slim;And you swear you don't believe in Him. God believes in you. When you rise up just to fall agian, God believes in you. Deserted by your closest friends? God believes in you. When you're betrayed with a kiss, And you turn you face to another fist; it does not have to end like this. God believes in you. Everything matters, if anything matters at all. Everything matters, no matter how big; no matter how small. God believes in you, Oh, God believes in you. When your so ashamed that you could die, God believes in you. And you can't do right even tho you try, God believes in you. Blessed are the ones who grieve, The ones who mourn and the ones who bleed. In sorrow you sow, but in joy you reap. God believes in you  Oh, blessed are the ones who who greive, The ones who mourn an the ones who bleed. In sorrow you sow but in joy you reap. God believes in you. Oh. God believes in you..........    I am glad He chose to believe in us.

Studying by subjects are better.\n\nThis way the  bible will interpet itself.\n\nAfter you get thru one letter,  do you really remember what it said on every subject it discussed?\n\nThis will help you avoid taking one scripture and creating a belief around it.

Could be a different Bible version.\n\nToday people love modern Bibles rather than the KJV.\n\nWhen i was doing my Bible studies with 8 Bibles I quickly tossed the "Living Word" as being trash.  The translators took so many liberties with phrases in that one I couldn't deal with it.\n\nI have a friend who collects Bibles and she gives a lot of them away keeping only the ones she personally likes.\n\nBUT, to get to YOUR question, how can YOU say MEAN AND VIOLENT and then use a phrase like IS THIS RETARDED?\n\nIsn't that the pot calling the kettle black?\n\nAnd yes, religious people do play with words.  A sad fact of life.  That's why I don't belong to an organized religon.\n\nThe sad fact of life is these people tell you how to live your life and they go home, get drunk, beat their wives up and make them give them oral sex, like any good Christian should do, right!

I don't think you're going to hell because you can't read the KJV of the bible.  There are so many versions out there...who can say which is really 'right'?  I think it's all a matter of finding your own path to spirituality.  Tomayto...tomahto.\n\nI do think it's sad how many people can't appreciate older versions of the English language...when I hear good actors perform Shakespeare or I read a classic novel like Wuthering Heights, I realize how LAZY and TRITE modern English is.

muhammadroth...\nThe difference between the Bible and the Quran is that when you look at the Bible - you see God, not man ! ! ! !

I prefer the 1624 version, so much more poetic.

The KJV Bible was modernised as it was written in old English and too hard for most people to understand.  I personally love this version, so there's no need to stop using it.\n\nThe term Jesus saves is true, but He saves through the repenting of sins.

Yes, I have compaired the NIV to the JKV the New KJV and the modern english Translation the American Standard version and the New American Standard version. I find all these are very similar, some are easier to read of course, but I always stuck with the King James for memorizing and teaching. I also used the NIV or some other modern version for my straight through reading, but have read the KJV through many times, but not as much as I used the other versions. \n\nI did notice some words were changed to make it appear to say something else, but when you read everything in context it is hard to take it out of context.  Especially when you looked at other passeges. \n\nI never liked or trusted the Schofield notes.\n\nI did buy one NIV study bible with notes and found it very desturbing because the scripture would be very plain, but the Scholars added their own intrepretation and even claimed that the Apostle or writer was wrong and did not understand their own scripture. \n\nPersonally, I feel it is better to use a bible without notes. That is just my opinion.

I have because I think if you're going to follow a religion that's based on a holy text, it's important to know what that text says.  Yes, Proverbs was good; my favorite was the one about how a good wife is worth more than pearls.  I think it's towards the end.  Leviticus, on the other hand, was dry as dust, and the geneologies were seemingly endless.  I liked the Song of Songs  and Esther.  The Epistles were really interesting because they showed the problems of the early Church and how they dealt with them.  It kind of lent a personal touch that I could relate to.    \n\nOne of the biggest things I realized, though, was that the Gods of the Old and the New Testament really aren't radically different.  There's a lot of love and understanding in the OT that frequently gets skipped over, and ditto for some of the sterner stuff in the NT.  That was kind of a revalation to me.  Still, I need to read it again sometime.  I got a lot out of it, but there are more things I need to go over.

YES I DO! I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN RE-WROTE OVER AND OVER, BUT I ONLY READ KJV BIBLE BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST VERSIONS. SOME SAY KJV IS TO HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT IT IS WROTE ON A 8TH GRADE LEVEL. SO ANY BODY COULD UNDERSTAND THAT. I BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE BECAUSE I HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST AND I CAN FEEL HIM IN MY HEART AND SOUL.

That wasnt in the bible. You are mistaking the bible for "Times are a changing" by Bob Dylan. Its ok because Bob Dylan is better than god anyway.

As a seminary student it is a known fact that the NASB is the closest to the original text than any other version of the English Bible. The KJV is merely a translation of the Latin Vulgate. King James of Scotland ordered the English translation of the Bible in the 1600's from its Latin translation so the common people can read it. However, the Bible wasn't written in Latin.\n\nThe NASB however is a direct translation of the original Greek/Hebrew text of the scriptures taken from the Masoretic text. The NIV is a close second.\n\nIf you truly want to read and know the scriptures as close to the original text as it can get, then I suggest the NASB or NIV. Stay away from the KJV, it will only complicate the learning process.

OK,\n1. The Bible is unique in its continuity, circulation, translation, survival, teachings and influence on literature.\n\n2. The bible is trustworthy. The Bibliographical test, the internal evidence test, the external evidence test, and it confirmation by Archeology.\n\nI could go on and on. \nAnd as for the bad stuff that goes on in the world, it is man, not God who chose to do evil things. It is called feel will.

Bible is older and they both make up stories.
