Lest we forget
I know this isn't really that important, but which translation of the bible do you personally use? Why do you use it? Have you used other translations and prefer your current one? Or do prefer a past translation you've used or ran into?
I myself use the New International Version (NIV). I use it because it's very concise, and it's the one that my church uses. It also seems to be pretty standard, because generally everything I run into comes from the NIV. It's also very easy to dig into. Previously I have used the Good News Bible, it's the one my old denomination bought for me, but it really just seems like a paraphrase. It's nice to read, but I've never been able to study from it. There just doesn't seem to be the background for that. I enjoy using it as my devotional bible. Also on my bookshelf is a copy of The New Century Version. NCV. I've used it maybe two or three times, it also makes a nice devotional but not a study bible. Both the GNT, and the NCV are in about a grade 5 reading level. I don't mind the New Living Translation, but I personally don't use it unless I am doing youth work.
November 11, 2008. Take one minute at 11:00am. Remember our veterans. Remember those currently in service. Remember our militaries, whether or not you support what they're doing.
