What Bible version do you read?

I've only recently learnt that there are many versions of the Bible. I was raised Catholic so I grew up reading a Catholic version. Now I'm considering picking up a different one.

Wondering what peoples experiences are of reading Bible versions.

 

i like NLT personally

 

RSV-Revised Standard Version

 

I've found by sad experience that I have to use more than one version. RSV is the one I find most reliable. I sometimes use the NKJV, the NIV, and the New American Standard Version. It's surprising to me how many significant differences I've found in these translations.

 

Ditto. Though mine has the Deuterocanon.

 

I have a King James Bible , but am not Christan . There is a version not too many people know about , all I can say is that it is a very thick book . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urantia_Book http://www.urantia.org/ http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2012/12/25 http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/psychic-paranormal/70807-anyone-read-urantia-book.html http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/spirituality-consciousness-awareness/69265-urantia-book.html desert rat

 

Are you sure that this Urantia Book a version of the Bible?

 

I guess it deponds on ones definition on what a Bible is . I just wanted to bring it to the attion of the forum . Its in the public domain , you can down load it from the site I posted , free . desert rat

 

doesn't matter. all versions are vile and disgusting.

 

Jehovah's New World bible .. for the Lulz..

 

I read the Urantia Book back in the mid-eighties. I recall that a lot of it was about the life of Jesus.

 

English Standard Version.

 

Douay Rheims

 

King James. Something about the eloquence and beauty of this version. The Twenty-Third Psalm in any other loses much impact in this great passage.

My wife has a four-version Bible that features two versions on the left page and the remaining two on the right page. Makes for expedient study.
OP, very good question to post.

cheers,
