dragongirl42391 Lethkhar dragongirl42391 Lethkhar I've read King James Version and New International Version. Cool, do you have a preference? I prefer the New International Version by far. Lol, I TOTALLY know what you mean. I used to have the NKJV when I was little and I had NO idea what it was talking about. Then I read the NIV and NLT version the whole thing just completely opened up to me. I dunno if any of you guys have read The Message translation but sometimes it totally cracks me up. This is a direct verse from the Message and I quote "Mark 5:37 He permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John. They entered the leader's house and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and neighbors bringing in casseroles. " CASSEROLES! lol lol lol The Message tries to make the whole Bible culture friendly somehow. But, sometimes its just plain out there.
The Message Bible, along with a few other translations that are popular, especially in youth groups today are... not the best translations to be using. They warned us against them pretty heavily in my Biblical Literature class because they deviate from the original text so much. That class isn't even a religious class- it's just about better understanding the Bible. You don't have to believe in God or anything in it- that's not the objective.
I have a NIV and NRSV texts that I use, as well as an old plain English contemporary Bible my best friend gave me in the 7th grade because I couldn't understand the KJ version she gave me xD I have a few other random free ones I'v aquired from visiting churches and stuff too.
I do like my NRSV though, because it has lots of notes and the Apocrapha. Of course, it's also a study Bible for my bib lit class razz
