EdB: Thank you. I have never actually read one, only different verses that someone has used in a quote. I have gone to a site and it allows me to read the books and chapters. I have read the history and those early settlers who came to America for genuine religious freedom, rejected the KJB. In my sorta research of my own, the first Bible printed in the USA was a GENEVA Bible. Christians were so hungry and even starved for a Bible many, many gave all they ouwed to have a copy of the Word of God. Today I sincerely doubt that most so called believers know where Acts is say nothing about Ruth, or 1 Kings. When I worked for Zondervan when Pat Zondervan was alive, I sold a Bible reading plan for families and schools, and other uses full people called THE BOOK OF LIFE. In the companies research they found very few Christians read the Bible even once a month. The Bible is the worlds best selling book, but the worlds least read. With a Bible for just about every occupation you can think of, and translations in almost uncountable languages, and numerous English versions, with many slanted to every group from homosexual, to liberal, conservative, and every denomination, yet people just are too lazy to read the Bible. There are just a few Bibles that are as close to the original thoughts of those inspired writers. Proudly the NASB is tops on my list. The one that most of my fellow believers that know me are rather surprised is the NKJV. I read it for contrast and a fresh read of what I read as a child and partly into adult years. I have come to dislike the NIV even the 1984 version. I have a ESV, but with the National Counsel of Churches approval I have deep feelings against the NCOC therefore I limit my reading of the ESV. My only desire is for people to read the BIBLE. But here again even the Muslims do not read the Qur'an or if they did then they would reject the instructions to kill infidels meaning Jews and Christians. Surely women would see how they are to be treated like slaves. So even with people calling them self a Christian does not make them a "FOLLOWER" as Jesus called genuine believers to be in order really saved and going to be a born again believer going to heaven to be forever with the Lord Jesus, and the Loving Almighty Father God. |

I use the NASB to do personal study but I find I have a hard time reading aloud from it so I use either the NJKV or NLT. I like the NLT because for many listeners English is a second language and the NLT is easy for them to understand. | ||||||
