Favorite Bible Version

the solid book i use is a nkjv. it was a gift. it has reformation notes in it. it's pretty snazzy.i tend to use blueletterbible.org though unless i feel important and bumish enough to grab the solid book. which is my favorite? i don't have one. i don't like the niv. never did. and i'm starting to not like the kjv on principle of avoiding the crazies. maybe i won't catch it... but especially, i've seen the specific errors in the kjv and it leaves out important cultural information. it's important that we don't turn ancient hebrews into wasps. they were semitic, they wore noserings when they got married (like arab muslims do now). if you can't learn about them as a people from their texts, then you can't understand how they interacted with god (which is what is recorded in those pages). if you can't understand that, then you can't separate their crazed notions from the 'reality' of who their god was.you can't trust people to write accurate histories of themselves. they never do. everyone thinks the civil war was about slavery, and my brother's 7th grade history book proclaimed that mlkj had been president. people's opinions always taint what they write. the secret is to understand how people think so you can peel away the layers of bullshit and find the real meat.This message has been edited by brennakimi, 11-12-2005 11:16 AM

And why you think you take a Ho to a Ho-tel
Ho-tell everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in the sky for the Ho-zone layer
Now C'mon playa wants a Ho always
And Ho's neva close, they open like hallways

if you're so intent on the real word of god, learn the languages it was written in. christ's sake. at least arach is bothering to learn hebrew. you just sit there in your english being a weirdo.

i did say languages. read above. i only mentioned hebrew by name because it's the one being studied atm.

remember i tried to take it first. it's not my fault it was full of little stuck-up spoiled bastardy jew kids.(for the benefit of everyone else.. nothing against jew kids. you don't know boca.)This message has been edited by brennakimi, 11-13-2005 08:05 PM
