I'm still looking for a Bible that has all of God's names in it in the exact scripture in which he disclosed that name.

I'm a strict KJV no ifs, ands, or buts about it

i use the new world translation of the holy scriptures. Back then Jews had a superstition and took Gods name out. King James version has it but not throughout the bible

Update:

I got the Complete Jewish Bible a couple of weeks ago, and I am really enjoying comparing it to my other translations. (I got it at Amazon.com for $31.00) I enjoy the pronunciations of the Hebrew words, and the way it reads. I love the way it uses the name of God that was used in the original OT text, rather than just saying God for whatever the actual name is.

Blueletterbible.com is another great online study resource. I use it almost daily along with e-sword.net. Best about them, they are both free resources. Oh, by the way I only use the KJV personally. To many word changes and omissions in the others for me. Hope you enjoy.

I have found the best website...christianity.com. Very helpful!

I like the NIV for clarity and study, but the KJV for ease of memorization. For Heaven's Sake offers a very nice NIV with key Hebrew and Greek words, and I use that sometimes, too. It's my favorite for research. My daily Bible is an NIV dual English/Spanish so I can try to keep up with my Hispanic friends! The thing I like most about this thread is that everyone seems to be making Bible reading a priority -- good, good, good.
God bless everyone -- g'night.

My next Bible will be the Complete Jewish Bible. I have wanted one for years. I have decided that I will get one as soon as $$$ allows!

Grateful4Grace, the website for Christian Book Distributors is:

www.christianbook.com

I used to buy a lot of stuff from them until I discovered that Amazon.com was even better on their prices. They carry a large selection of Bibles as well as the Christian stores.

go to family christian bookstores in winston salem. they have all varied selections and allow you to browse the editions to find the one that reads best for your needs. go to interstate 40 by[pass and take the stratford road exit. turn left and they are less than a mile on the left across from hanes mall next to joanna's fabrics.

I use several translations including the NIV, KKJV, NASB and others. I use www.biblegateway.com a lot which offers many different translations.

Oh, as to where to find a good Bible, go online to Christian Book Distributors. They will have about every English Bible one can get.

I use the NASV and the NIV. The nasv is an update of the American Standard Version that came out in 1901. The ASV was very accurate to the original Greek, but so slavishly followed the sentence construction of the Greek NT that it was hard to read in English. So the New American Standard came out in 1956 and was more readable. However, about 1976 the NIV was published and was even more readable to a contemporary reader, while still maintaining (mostly) accuracy to the original meaning. Since then lots of translations have appeared, most good but a few may have some shaky accuracy. I've heard the the ESV, the English Standard Version is really good. Too much info. probably, but hope it helps.

I have a KJV which I almost never use, a NKJV, which I use a lot, as well as a NLT which I use a lot, too.

I also have the NLT on CD's. I just recently got it at Amazon.com for $50.38. It have the Old and New testaments, and is dramatized, meaning that where necessary, other voices are used, rather than the same voice. This is especially used in the gospels. I love how I can put one on and have over an hour of Bible read to me. It really does help you to understand more thoroughly what is being said. I would HIGHLY recommend it for any serious student of the Word.

I usually find all of those maps confusing, since it is not the same now as then, and it is hard for me to "get it". I do love the study notes my NKJV has. (It is a Spirit Filled Life Bible for Students) They are sooo good for helping anyone inderstand the context of the verses.

Thanks BJ, I appreciate all your help and everyone elses replies

The second one is the one i have. I believe my wife got it at a Christian book store in Winston

love and bj...Thaks for your replies!
Bj...Who makes the Bible you have with the four translations? I have never seen one at a Christian store and am wondering if you got it on line?

Thanks everyone!

I have one that has four versions, each vesion has its own column on the page so you can compare what they say. It has the KJV, NIV Amplified and the NASB

I got a Holman CSB for Christmas (it is illustrated & has articles, maps, a concordance, pictures of artifacts found, timelines, charts) and it is just awesome. It is so easy to read and it give you a summary of how this translation came to be. I love it. If your church does the LifeWay Explore the Bible series in Sunday School the literature uses that translation and the KJV.

Thanks for your reply 1st!
