King James Bible:  Psalms 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.\n\nModern Translation:  29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will reside forever upon it.\n\nI grew up in the Church of Christ, they teach that approved persons go to Heaven, bad people go to Hell, if what they say is true, then no one is left on the Earth, and King David told us a lie.\n\nThis one scripture is what caused me to start studying the Bible, and what a large amount of Bible knowledge have I consumed.

I tell you one thing about the bible that is pretty trippy. Some, a few, know it's heavily veiled and cryptic.Some who skim through it (like allot of them out here) take many things the bible says literally.They think they know the truth. You cannot possibly understand this book by just skimming though it. Any theo-scholar can tell you that.. The best thing you can do is read it cover to cover, keep doing this no matter how many times you've read or what you think you know. The more times you read it, the more messages become "unveiled" and unencrypted. I've read it 37 times cover to cover, working on 38..and believe me when I quote gods own words in black and while in the bible where it says "none of you have this right" He's not kidding. I've seen only one or two Christians out here who are developing a good understanding.. From what you're seeing in what you've read you are beginning to get it.But you just went WAY over the heads of 99% of the Christians out here by a country mile...lol good work keep reading

gablue430 has listed some of the very best choices.  My list would be similar, with one addition:\n\nNIV Study Bible\nNIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible\nESV Reformation Study Bible\nNIV Quest Study Bible \n\nBut I'd like rather to suggest a METHOD for you to make a good choice for YOU.\n\nThings to consider:\n\n1) Which TRANSLATION(s) are you comfortable with?  If you have a fairly strong preference for one you should take that seriously.   Of course, if you're mainly using this book at your desk and happy to keep a copy of your favorite translation at the ready, this may be less important for you --you can focus on Point #2.\n\n(NIV and ESV seem to be the dominant versions in evangelical circles these days [ESV is esp. claiming the old NASB crowd and many NKJV users].  I use both [with others] for study & teaching, but just for reading --silently or aloud-- I think the NIV is superior.  Comparing their Study Bibles, the NIV Spirit of the Reformation vs. ESV Reformation Study Bible are very close in quality -- you translation preference might well be the tie-breaker.)\n\n2) Are there specific study aids within the TEXT that you think would find especially helpful?  and do you know what you want them to do?\n\na) is it cross references that give you a lot of related passages to check out on your own?   -all of those listed ar pretty solid in this area (I have a slight preference for the NIV Study Bible on that; they did an excellent, thorough process of assmebling USEFUL parallels)\n\nb) book introductions, overviews: \nAll of those listed include some helpful book introductions (The book outlines are just OK -- haven't yet found one that is consistently helpful at this point.  At some point they tend to break down into a mere list of contents, without any analysis of WHY they are organized the way they are.  But it's a reasonable start.)\n\nc) text notes:  are you looking for 'topical notes' that answer common theological questions, esp practical ones?  (try Quest);  do you want some good, reliable discussions of what the Bible teaches on many key doctrines?  (try the two "Reformation" Bibles);   do you mainly want note that focus on special features of the specific text you are looking at, the structure of this psalm, etc? (NIV Study Bible probably beats everyone on this point -- this is my own preference and why I've always preferrd this one over the rest for MY use)\n\n3) What about the EXTRA resources in the back?  ( I don't think these are generally as imporant as those under #2 --which tend to be the *main* reason people get a study bible, but do give them some thought, esp. if things are coming out pretty even to this point!)\n\na) MAPS  - how many? how readable are they for YOU?  (some Bible map sections are great... some are awful!)\n\nb) INDEXES:   esp. 'topical guides' & Concordance -- are these enough for your own needs?  will they help you find things you are looking for? (I mostly use a separate complete concordance, but for some folks having more IN their Bibles is important to them)\n\n3) "PHYSICAL" matters, layout, etc.  (some of this may come into play more AFTER you've decided which version you want, when you're looking at size, shape, etc)\n\na) Readability of print:   All of these probably have pretty decent, readable print, etc. but that is not ALWAYS the case.  But you might find you prefer reading a single column ['like other books'] or that two-columns works well for you [tends to decrease the page count, so may lead to a smaller book to carry, or to thicker paper]\n\nb) Some have better quality paper than others as well (oddly I've found some hardcover editions have better, thicker paper than the leatherbound).  \n\nc) binding: You might have a preference on binding, and that may depend on how and how much you use the Bible, as well as the size.  (I have found that I like a smaller leatherbound cross-reference Bibl

Any of the Hebrews men who conquered Canaan, because they got to rape any women they could grab in the cities they conquered... having murdered their fathers and brothers in front of them of course.\n\nNo, I take that back, my favourite is Elisha, because he got cool super powers and could sumon up bears to eat young boys because they called him baldy. It would b so cool to see young boys being eaten alive by a bear, don't ya think, especially for such a frivolus reason?\n\n\nNo, I changed my mind again. It's defintitely the Angel of the Lord. He gets really cool super powers all the time, and he gets to sluaghter everyone in cold blood: old men, women,  babies.\n\n"And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee."\n\n\nThen he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!”  When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.  And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.\n\n"And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city."

My favorite is Hebrews 4:16:  "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."  This verse is my favorite, because it is so comforting.  It reminds me that even during hard times, I'm not alone, and that God is always there.

The best study bible I know of is the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.  Translated accurately from the original Hebrew and Greek into today's common english.  An excellent bible to be used for bible studying.\n\nHELPFUL HINT:  If you're looking for the most accurate bibles, make sure they are  original "translations" instead of "versions".  Original translations are translated directly from the original Hebrew and Greek languages, not just a translation of a translation, which are (needless to say) less accurate due to retranslating, and allows some influence from the retranslator.

My favorite characters in the Bible is Job. When my son was suddenly taken from me at the age of 10, I read the book of Job because I wanted to know how he walked through this difficult valley to come out with victory. What a powerful story. It gave me hope when I read it.

Crosswalk.com is the most incredible resource ever!  It has a great many commentaries, bible versions (including the NASB and KJV with Strongs numbers) online bible studies, sermons to listen to, references and notes. Go for it!\n\nBiblegateway.com is also excellent and has the amplified bible as a version- which crosswalk is missing.

When you find something really neat in the Bible, share it with them. Do not preach to them, just let them see your enthusiasm and joy in God's Word. Try reading through some of my studies to give yourself some places to start.\nhttp://www.schneblin.com/studies/\n\nA good one is titled John 3:16. It is short and shows how the entire Bible is summarized in this one statement by Jesus. Share it with your friends and say, "Wow, isn't that awesome?" Remember, enthusiasm is contagious.

I have two favourite chapters in Bible;\n\n1. Proverbs. It has 31 chapters for 31 days in a month\n\n2. Parable of the Good Samaritan - Luke 10: 30-37. I love this chapter because a good samaritan can only become a good human being.
