Question regarding the current editions of the Holy Bible?

What you are looking for is called a "loose leaf Bible".  I used to have one and they are really nice.  It comes in different translations but the KJV is probably the easiest to find.  The loose leaf Bible is a Bible in a three (or more) ring binder form.  So not only can you remove just the books you need and put them in another binder, but you can insert your own note pages anywhere you want since it's like a notebook.  Another answerer mentoned a J. Vernon McGee Bible study series.  That is also another good option.  You can get each individual book really cheap at used book stores.  J.Vernon McGee is a very good commentator and offers some very easy to understand insights into the scriptures.  There are other commentaries like his that come in individual books as well.  So, you have a lot of good options out there.  You can also download for free individual books of the Bible in the King James Version and print them out and make your own loose leaf Bible that way.  (The King James Version is free because there is no copyright on this version.)  Just Google search "free Bible downloads" and you'll come across it.  Good luck and I hope I've been of some help to you.

Remember that the Catholic church canonized the bible which had those books in it before the protestant reformation. Catholics didn't add to it, Luther(and others) took them out! Those of you who swear by the King James bible are missing out on several books that are in the Old Testament and of value. We (Catholics) are not "on to something". We just have the complete Bible (and have all along). \nTo my Protestant brothers, check the history of the bible, and see what I'm saying!\nGod bless you for asking this question.

Perhaps not.  But is it okay to ram your personal interpretation (of that which you have learned as dogma) down the throats of others if you never listen to informed critism?\nIf you have never read the old testiment in Hebrew, how do you really know what is says?  If you do not know Aramaic or Greek, do you really have an informed opinion yourself?\nDo you know the exact reasoning made by the men who decided what should be included in the Holy Bible and what should be left out?  Do you know that all of them did not agree with all of the books included?\nA good computer program can be written to look up an answer (or several rated answers) in the text of the King James Version of the Bible for just about any question, but that does not make the program holy.\nJudgment of others based upon whether or not they interpret scriptures in the same manner as you do may be a sin and certainly has lead to the disruption of the Christian religion into smaller factions.\nNo, it is never okay to critize anything that has not been studied.  Sure people do it, but that does not make it okay.

hmmmm, this will be good!!\n\nFor: GINEVRA1WEASLEY, how is he pulling things of contexts when it's from your very own Bible? 32 (Bible) Scholars couldn't get it right and I doubt that you'll be able to get it right..

There are a lot of good suggestion already written here, and frankly I don't think which version you use will make a lot of difference when you read it. It may down the road when you start to study and look for teaching in it. Then you will want to get an accurate version and stay away from paraphrases versions like the NIV.  The important thing is that you allow God to teach you while you read. In James 1:5 it says, "...if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." This is a promise from God that if you ask Him He will give you wisdom as you read. So, when you read it, pray in your heart and ask God to open it up to you. It is a spiritual book and needs the Spirit of God to direct you.

I have not heard of it.  My opinion is that the best English translation of the Bible is the New Revised Standard Version.  Better than this is to understand the original languages of course, but since that is a big task, one ought to have an interlinear version available.  This has each word in Hebrew or Greek with the meaning of that word below it, together with a translation.  You can make use of Strong's Concordance, and a Hebrew Lexicon or dictionary (or Greek as the case may be) and get a pretty good idea of what the verses are really saying.

It is unlikely that the Bible as we know it will be re-written anytime soon. It is too entrenched in our culture as is.\n\nI suspect that some 'New New Testament' will arise sometime, but see a pretty big struggle before it is accepted- and it will probably cause a huge schism in the faith.

It is Strong's Concordance (you were VERY close).  If you actually need the physical book, you will be hard pressed to find one for free.  It is one of the largest, heaviest books I have in my library.  I would guess that a new one goes for around $40-50.  You might be able to find one cheap online, but it would be expensive to ship.  I would recommend calling a few used book shops in your area.  You can find software online that you can either download, or use right off the internet, however that you can use for free.  Any online Bible with a search feature does pretty much the same thing.  I like biblegateway.com.  If you specifically need the numbers that go with the search however, I don't think they have that.

:}\nNo electronic coppies are available. National Geographic holds the rights to the translation and will be publishing it for sale. not yet released.\nThe Internet is full of rumors about what it says, if you care to google it.  \nThe rumors are probably as accurate account of what it contains as it is an accurate record of the life of Christ.

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

This so-called "question" seems to focus on "New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures", which is distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses. There are more than 130 million copies of this modern-language bible in print, in dozens of languages.\nhttp://watchtower.org/languages.htm\n\nThe entire text of NWT is freely available at the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses, and a personal printed copy can be requested at no charge:\nhttp://watchtower.org/bible/\nhttps://watch002.securesites.net/contact/submit.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/how_to_contact_us.htm\n\n\nJehovah's Witnesses certainly like NWT, but they are happy to use any translation which an interested person may prefer, and in fact Jehovah's Witnesses themselves distribute other translations besides NWT. Jehovah's Witnesses attach no particular infallibility or inspiration to NWT.\n\nSince the same manuscripts used by the NWT translators are still widely available for study, and since there are dozens of alternate translations for comparison, anyone who chooses to use NWT does so informedly. \n\nIt seems that the vast majority of the criticism against the New World Translation is actually as a proxy for blind hatred against Jehovah's Witnesses. The hatred must be "blind" since secular experts of biblical Hebrew and Greek have consistently refused to condemn any particular verse or phrase as an unacceptable translation. Instead, it is religionists with preconceived theologies who bigotedly insist upon particular wordings, since these are necessary to prop up the shakey tenets of their false worship.\n\n(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.\n\nIt seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/pr/article_04.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/na/\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20020915/article_01.htm\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/e/20050715/article_02.htm

The Bible is very reliable and the message has not been changed with new translations.\n\nThere is contradictions in the Bible but I would like you to ask specific contradiction so we would be able to help ou to understand.\n\nThere is very big change that the Bible will not make any sense to you if you do not let Holy Spirit in your heart to guide you.\n\nThe Bible is written by men but inspired by God.Feel free to contact me personally....and if you ask specific contradiction questions here, you will get great answers.\n\nGod bless.
