Bible Note: Dear Brother John, I don't mind telling you that my name is Tom. I live in Omaha, NE and have been here since 1968. My Wife and I are blessed in that we have 7 Grandchildren and they are all right here in Omaha. They all know the Lord as Savior except the three youngest: 3, 1, and 4 months. I too favor the NKJV since about 1981 or 1982. When I first began reading the bible in 1973 I bought a KJV with no notes, references, or anything. My joy then and now is to just read it and enjoy it. But for study purposes I begin with the NKJV and use all the references I have at hand. In addition I like to compare translations of verses being studied. At one time, I used the Amplified quite a bit. Sometimes the Amplified seems to just go on and on. I agree that the "Net" is a good easy to read translation, but it has no "rhythm". I love the poetic flow of the KJV. There is nothing more pleasurable then to just read it and let it flow through your spirit with no urgency re. meanings, references, etc. I made a mistake re. the article entitled, "Are You Thirsty? Then, Come: God's Gracious Covenant of Life in Isaiah 55". You'll find it at http://www.bible.org/docs/ot/books/isa/isa/55.htm When it's convenient, please take a look at it and tell me what you think. I haven't read Brother Dave Riever's book, but He spoke at our church years ago. I recall how he asked God to heal him over and over. But at that time he didn't know how God would use his injuries as a foundation for his ministry. My admiration for that Brother knows no bounds. Once again Brother, thanks for your response. I look forward to hearing from you. In Him, Eagle One |
