Do You ever trouble reading the bible, I'm sure you do. Pastors always say you need to read your bible but its seems to drain you than actually enjoy it. Now I know some of you like the study bibles as well but the best answer I can give to you is find a bible that speaks directly to you. It should not matter what translation it is as long as it speaks directly to you. Read the the bible and see if you will enjoy it if you not gonna enjoy the bible don't read it meaning if your just buying for the sake of buying.
I'm gonna share a testimony I had 2 years ago. I was slightly reading the NIV bible when I prayed to God that I wanted a bible that read like a novel but was still accurate to His original translation. I don't know how many months after but I was going between The Voice Bible and The Common English Bible. I read Genesis to see if I was going to continue reading it. The Common English bible I like because of some the wording but how the represented Christ in that bible bothered me. So I read the Voice and at the time only the New testament was out. I started reading it was exactly what I was looking for. Now I read a chapter a day every morning in the Voice bible and whats really interesting is that it gives some history and thoughts about each book and spread through out. Plus the The Voice Bible has both the old and new testaments as well. Pray which bible is for you and look for them in Christian book stores and if you find the right one.
I like to mention also when you have the right bible you can't but help share with the world because you understand the bible so clearly that very true for me when I take the voice bible I will let others read it see what they think spreading the gospel through a bible you love.
Thought of the day

I don't know about The Voice Bible, but reading a Bible because you like the way it reads/sounds is not an idea I can agree with. After all, one of the big arguments Muslims use to try and promote the Quran is that it sounds good. This is not a good argument. Especially considering the vast differences in what people think sounds good. If we do that with our bibles, then we are going to have even worse doctrinal differences than we have now. We should be looking for translations that are the most accurate reflections of the original languages as possible. This way we can get as close to the theological understanding of those who wrote the various books.

Don't think so. I will stick with the NASB and the ESV, with notes by John MacArthur.

I am wary of "translations" that come from people who say:

Christ is not Jesus' second name. It is a title. It means "the anointed one". It is the same as "Messiah".

If the guy who has worked for 7 years on this can't get that right, then I can't trust the rest of it.

This doesn't shock me at all, Zeke... it does concern me, though.

Um, that's not his view. That's the view of uneducated Christians to which he's referring.

That said, I don't much agree with the premise of the translation.

Thanks for clarifying. I misread it.

I don't like the premise, either.

I'm gonna share a testimony I had 2 years ago.

That should be 3 years ago by now.

Zeke, is English your native language?

[zeke365]

yes English is my native language but I should let you know

when I said 3 years (technically 5 years ago 011) this is my testimony of finding a bible that I could read.

The second part is I not saying you should abandon any translation just find a translation that speaks directly to you as an individual
some are NIV fans and are fed by the Word from that translation
some are NLT fans and are fed by the Word from that translation
some are The Message Fans and get fed The Word by that

What I m saying is each translation will speak to people differently just like we are all different people and don't receive the God Word the same, so is each Bible translation it speaks to individual differently and God wants to have that relationship with that individual. For me the Voice Bible speaks directly to me and I can't but share it with others not everyone gonna be on board with that and that okay. Hopefully this explains things a little easier

it okay to disagree but I m gonna continue sharing messages The LORD has gives to me.

Zeke, when you say "are fed by the Word from that translation", that's a bit troublesome. Because "what they are fed" is pretty important. For example, if I feed you lies, you're still being "fed", but led in the wrong direction. Joel Osteen "feeds" people the Word all the time, but it's his own version, and is quite misleading. Cult followers are being "fed" that cult's version of "the truth".

It kinda sounds like you're aligned with the "whatever floats your boat" mentality. That's troubling.

Now what does the Bible say about finding something that speaks directly to you:

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
2 Timothy 4:3-4

Couple of weeks ago? More like 14 months ago maybe?

[b]

You do know Mark 16:9-20 is not part of the original text, right?

[Cow Poke]

PLEASE PRAY BEFORE READING THIS SO YOU CAN RECEIVE WITH A CLEAN MIND AND NOT HAVE A CORRUPT MIND!

A couple of weeks ago...

Zeke.... it's a bit disingenuous to lead us to believe this is "new stuff" (a couple of weeks ago) when it's clearly something you've copy/pasted from somewhere else from over a year ago.

So much for "corrupt mind".

How bout a little more honesty on your part?
