Quote:Then ask your question. You have more than enough information now.Yes any translation will do for your purposes.
Quote:The 'Word of God' is a term used to describe a revelation from God. Any Holy bible can be considered or even contain 'The word of God.' To ask which revelation is the cloest revelation of God is to not understand the term you are using, nor how bibles are translated.What's so special(or different) about the translating of the bible compared to other texts.

Quote:I did follow link and seem to be a tool to search different versions of the bible. I could be wrong, not interested enough in the bible to read more of that site.did you not follow any of the links? The blue letter is a specific bible. It was the only one not included in the first link.
Quote:This is EXACTLY what this thread is about! I do not appear clear to you because you do not understand the depths of the questions you are asking.

Quote:You have a singular understanding and believe your understanding is the only way 'christianity' (as you understand it) can work. This is what I have identified as a 'sunday school understanding' of this religion.True, christianity is bullshit
Quote:You have a very basic simplistic understanding of Christianity and believe it to be the gold standard in which All Christians Must operate, and when someone gives you an answer that is different than what you expect. you believe that they are evading the question because the answer given does not align with the your limited understanding. Meaning you are too proud to acknoweledge that you question is so far off base that you can not recognise a proper answer when one is given.This is what I heard Blah Blah Blah.
Quote:This is a another perfect example of what I just said. you believe that all christians have to only subscribe to one bible.(You even admit this later on) Even in light of the fact that I directly told you I use many different translation depending on what it is I am doing. But, none of this matters to you, because it does not match up to the sterotype you are working with. Which causes you dismiss what was actually said because you believe with all of your mind that all christians can ONLY have one bible. Read this next part carefully as I am only going to tell you this once more. I use more than one bible. If you want to know which one I use in a given situation then provide the situation and ask a question.When you are on this forum and someone asks you a question about the holy bible which one do you use to refer to?( I have provided a situation and asked a question)
Quote:I know you did not ask, but Here is an artical on how bibles were and are translated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_translationsNo different than translating other texts.
Quote:Can we get to this so important life changing question now?If you want, yes, what is it?
