btw thanks for helping me with this because my initial post was sorely lacking...

Well now I can agree and it seems that your first statement here was exactly what this thread was about...until we got sidetracked today...

How presumptious.. It stinks of arrogance and "Im a better Christian than you are because Ive read more versions etc... "

Peeeeuuwww

Give me a break.

Reminds me of Jesus scolding the pharisees and sadducees for their hypocrisy.

I thought maybe I was reading something into it but Im pretty sure it was started with the bad intentions whether realized or not..

How about this? I've lived only one life, and so far, God hasn't said that I screwed up, too bad...

The question was what have you read from, not what is better...let's stay on track here eh, all?

I happen to agree to an extent with the Holy Spirit present you can get everything you need from most any decent translation.

Without the Holy Spirit present it does not matter how many 1 or 2000 different translations you use in fact without the Spirit there are plenty of translations that are quite worthless cause they deny Christ divinity.

Its prophecies arouse bright hope for the future. so all bibles are good to read. and the theme of all bibles is this ,
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; Daniel 2;44 from Genesis to revelation this is what it is all about . and bible prophecy is now well along in this time of the end . thrilling times to be reading the bible.
And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant."
The closer the Bible is examined, the more astonishing is its remarkable accuracy.

getting back to the original word of God ,is what all translators of truth are after , with no traditions of man to cloud the thought. and no taking away of the most highs name . but i think you already know the answer to that

for me i like the NWT the best . but everyone to their own.

In Greece, translation of the Bible into the language of the common people has been the focus of a long and bitter stuggle......... interesting link The Struggle for a Bible in Modern Greek - Jehovah's Witnesses Official Web Site

I am currently -listening- to;

The Bible - Old Testament (audio book)
The Bible - New Testament (audio book)

But I have no idea who is reading it or what version it is lol.

The only Bible (physical book) I have read is the JW version. OH! Apart from when I was like a kid in nursery school I read a really cool version with many excellent pictures

WHY MANY TRANSLATIONS

When a new Bible translation is published in English many people wonder why, because a great many English versions already exist.

Some may even argue that the King James Version gives us the Bible in English; so why produce new translations?

The principal reason is to give the public a translation of God’s Word that accurately expresses the fine shades of meaning contained in the Hebrew and Greek of Bible manuscripts and that at the same time is understandable to the average person living today.

The King James Version itself was actually a new translation in its day, really a revision of previous English versions. It met the need for a clearer translation of God’s Word then, and now new versions again meet our need for an easily understood version
