What version of the Bible should I read?

KJV - King James Version -
Its as close to the original text as your gonna get b4 you need to learn Hebrew

To be honest, I couldn't say. Perhaps I'm just looking for a different perspective on the problems that have plagued humanity for ever. Plus I imagine there's some wisdom to be gleaned from the Bible, regardless of one's religious beliefs.

King James.

>Latin Vulgate
>not Vetus Latina
kys kike shill

You don't read it, you just come up with off the wall ideas and assume their in there like all other religious people.

Reading any version is better than tossing a question out for schizophrenics to answer.
Challenge yourself to read the whole thing, and you’ll be more of a scholar than most self-proclaimed Christians.

Quran

Just dont do NIV, its a train wreck

>their in there
You disgust me.

Fair enough, I'll start with the kjv then

Thanks yall.

Whichever you decide to get, don't forget to buy the New Testament DLC as well

>canadians are mentally retarded
Color me shocked

they don't, reading protestant versions is like reading entirely different books sometimes

Luther's Bible in German & Gutenberg's Bible in Latin (Vulgate) are closer to original than KJV

>Reading any version
>For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. (Romans 15:27, New International Version)

None of them. Skydaddy and kike-on-a-stick ain't real.

Oy vey. Tbh anything painting the jq in a positive light, I will simply ignore.

Sad!

and the Jerusalem Bible is closer to the original than Luther's or the Vulgate. Unless you think Moses had horns.

Different incarnations of the texts can change your decision on if Christ had brothers and sisters from Joseph and Mary, or if Mary remained a virgin and only conceived through Devine means.
One can also believe that Adam and Eve were not the only two people on earth because after Cain murdered Able, Cain went off to join the Cananites. Strange to join an entire people when your family is the only one on the planet.
All of this is to say that small words and translations matter.

Read as many versions as you can and do research on the translations.

King James version KJV

>When Jerome undertook the revision of Latin translations of Old Testament texts in the late 4th century, he checked the Septuagint and Vetus Latina translations against the Hebrew texts that were then available. He broke with church tradition and translated most of the Old Testament of his Vulgate from Hebrew sources rather than from the Greek Septuagint.

I just started with the old testament. Picked up a free copy of the English Standard Version. I too believe theres probably something of value to the text, however its quickly gone down hill. The old testament, while entertaining, is completely ridiculous. I have alot of questions a out the cleanliness of the altar. If you start it, let me know what you think.

I have heard good things about the Institute for Scripture Research's Bible, "The Scriptures". They're based out of South Africa.

isr-messianic.org/

>Our vision is to faithfully proclaim יהוה and his word throughout the world by means of all our publications. Our primary means though is through the translating, printing and publishing of a literal translation of "The Scriptures" that is as accurate as we can make it.

>We have restored the name of the Father (יהוה) and his Messiah (יהושע) while also preserving the Hebraic mind-set of the original writers, to the best of our ability. In so doing we hope that it will shed further light on the understanding of the message of the Scriptures, thereby spiritually enriching the lives of its readers. Such a translation would be subject to on-going revision, as the ISR continues its quest to make it more and more accurate.

isr-messianic.org/publications/the-scriptures.html

>Unique Features of The Scriptures

>The Scriptures is a literal translation of the Tanakh and the Messianic Scriptures.

>The Divine Name

>The divine Name (the tetragrammaton), יהוה, appears in Hebrew characters throughout the translation in the Tanakh (Torah, Nevi'im, Kethuvim) and also in the Messianic Scriptures. The name by which the Messiah was known, Y'hoshua / Yeshua, is restored in Hebrew as well and appears in the text as such, יהושׁע.

>Order of Books

>The books in the Tanakh are arranged according to the original order of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings.
Personal Names

>The original Hebrew personal names of people and places are restored throughout the Scriptures, such as "Yirmeyahu" for Jeremiah, "Yeshayahu", for Isaiah and "Mosheh" for Moses and in the Messianic Scriptures, "Mattithyahu" for Matthew etc.

Currently I'm using NRSV and Douay Rheims so I can compare and contrast between a more modern English and an older English.

Duoy Rheims is the best English version you can find.

King James.

Do not listen to C*tholics, they ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.

KJV if anything

>worship of Mary, the "mother" supernatural figure that appears in Egyptian, Eastern and Amerindian pagan mythos that gets lifted and used by C*tholics for thousands of years
>praying the Rosary "the right way" involves praying to Mary (a human) tenfold more than any other figure
>refers to Mary as "the mother of God" which pushes the closet-Mason Modalist idea over what Scripture says
>kissing the foot of the P*pe, worshipping a human (again) more than Christ or the Father
>all based on man-made institution, very little basis in Scripture (call no man Father), even less interest in the Scripture from C*tholics
>"tradition" outweighs actual study of the Scripture
>literally want to listen to scripture in a language they can't understand, they want to avoid God's Word that bad
>hurr u can't use musical instruments, here let us cut ur son's balls off so we can have more pleasing sounds, goyi-ahhh i-i mean fellow C*tholic
>spend over a millennium calling themselves "Christian" but not allowed to read the Scripture, get killed for writing down what you hear in Church

Be careful of the Scofield Bible:

"...Two years after [Cyrus] Scofield’s reported conversion to Christianity in 1879, the Atchison Patriot was less than impressed. Describing the former Atchison resident as the “late lawyer, politician and shyster generally,” the article went on to recount a few of Scofield’s “many malicious acts.” These included a series of forgeries in St. Louis, for which he was sentenced to six months in jail...

The Scofield Reference Bible contains the text of the King James Authorized Version, it is not the traditional Protestant bible but Scofield’s annotated commentary that is problematic. More than any other factor, it is Scofield’s notes that have induced generations of American evangelicals to believe that God demands their uncritical support for the modern State of Israel..."

Stick with NT only, King James, then also read about the Desert Fathers, Philokhalia, and anything you can find on Theosis:

Young’s Literal Translation.
I started with NABRE, because that’s what I used throughout 4 years of HS theology, but afterwards, I wanted a more accurate translation, so I went to KJV, but that was kinda meh.
Now I use YLT and I haven’t gone back.

anything not catholic. the mormon bible would do you better then those idiots version.

Which ever one gets you to read the bible

Get a catholic version

No it isn’t

English Standard Version
It's the most literal translation

The only version that doesn't teach you to be a cu.ck: The Satanic Bible.

Lutheran. He was redpilled on the JQ and overall based.

KJV is great as a poetic English-language version, but it’s not the most accurate and for the NT, you’d be learning Greek anyway.

None, iuy shouldn't read jew garbage.

We're talking about English Bibles fag

Whatever translation you are comfortable with.
I like the KJV because it's errors are well documented and easy to see, plus it's just beautiful!

Hit up YT and watch Bible in 24 Hours by Chuck Missler. It's worth the time investment to have a good idea of how to study the bible, and have a basic understanding of its structure.

Remember though, it all speaks of Jesus.
He is the only Way.
Believe in His finished work, paying the price for sin on the cross.

If you care about your soul and don't want to read some blood sucking jewish desert nonsense look further east, read the Upanishads

if you want truth read the q'ran if you want edited truths read the modern bible islamism and christianism have the same god and angels

ESV.

It's based on the KJV and NKJV, it's a little bit more modern, but stays true to the classical English that is so beloved in the KJV series. It really is the bible for new students study.

I personally recommend crossways ESV study Bible. It's essentially an entrance university course textbook attached to an ESV Bible. The commentary and exegesis on most verses makes it worth the money.

>Cont.

It's an invaluable resource. The articles expound and unpack the dense ideas surrounding God and Christ; their positions in the world. Reading the Bible sometimes raises more questions than it answers, especially older versions with less familiar phrasing.

It's advantageous to read multiple versions to get a more subtle grasp of the text. KJV, NKJV, RSV, Greek and/or Hebrew to English word for word translations, etc.
