I remeber memorizing from it.. ( Eventhis week when I felt afraid over the elections.. fret not thyself because of the wicked.. Because of the Holy Spirirt I actually understood as a child , a version that certainly didn't come in the vernacular of Atlanta . I 4eas given a Lining bible at 16 from a dear lady at a church my sister and I found where someone really preached. It was like freshair but I held it more loosely. Most of my life I have studied from either the new Amer standard version or Niv1984. One reason I am speaking into this is because of a great tool I use ALOT. Bible gate.com has many versions. I cn put in a passage and view it in the many translations. I love the one with strongs helps to click on for the greek or hebrew words and meanings.It is not as helpful as the old Lexicons but still good. '<br />The vriety of versions isnot as different as one might suppose.<br />Buthe otherday I was using a passage for some correspondence. One of my friends, helping me in thinkiung about an iussue sent the same passage in a different version and I was stunned at how differentlky it read and it actually left out te meaning I had originally seen. Comparing the cersions as you study really is helpful.

Google WyCliffe Bible Translators, and Rick Warren and you will see why.<br /><br />I actually have digital photo's of The Dead Sea Scrolls, and I can't read or understand them either, and I'm guessing they were somewhat original. My advice is get what speaks to you. Get multiple translations, that way you will probably get a better understanding from each of them as they may reveal something to you in a different way. I also have a study aid called "What The Bible is all About" Bible Handbook, by Dr. Henrietta C Mears. it gives clear concise overviews of every book of the bible. <br /><br />Be wary, there have been companies as named above along with preachers named above that have conspired and met and re wrote the Bible to make it more appealing to muslims, gay and lesbians and so on.....hope this helpsDavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-25371389081894804132012-11-09T18:22:49.730-05:002012-11-09T18:22:49.730-05:00Oh, and a link if someone wants to read it.....not...Oh, and a link if someone wants to read it.....not very good, but just another of the ever growing voices chiming in....this is not well written or documented, just handy.<br /><br />http://www.economicnoise.com/2012/11/06/the-one-hour-meltdown/Cavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-2127420964141196382012-11-09T18:16:08.270-05:002012-11-09T18:16:08.270-05:00Hi Miss Ann Marie,
OK, am back from the running ar...Hi Miss Ann Marie,<br />OK, am back from the running around so will take a stab at it off the top of me head.<br /><br />A little background. The vast majority of money exist in digital forms, not dollar bills. IN fact, the supply of actual paper money is in short supply. Starting about 6 months ago, it began to be hard to actually walk into many banks and say I want to empty out my account and I want cash. Sometimes the bank took over 24 hours just to get 10K together. Some actually try to prevent you from actually getting cash.<br /><br />So, with that said...anything that induces a run on the bank is going to result in shut doors. These days, that is a wide range of potential causes and minor low scale bank runs been happening for several months now, as folk quietly try to get from all to 1 to 3 to 6 months of their cash out "just in case". <br /><br />Two things have long been considered the trigger to look for, each expected to give 7-10 days warning before it reaches our shores. One is the default and collapse of one of the weaker EU countries, such as Greece. <br /><br />The other is the raising of US interest rates...once it starts its a complete reversal of policy and the implications and snowball effect roll over and flatten (close) many things in short order.<br /><br />Several scenarios and even videos have been showing up in alternative media and investment blogs and advisory letters lately...more and more, with differing scenarios and the speed with which they are expected to move. In this digital age and with so many banks leveraged to the hilt in derivatives, its truly frightening.<br /><br />Think about a few scenarios....<br />1. One country, say China, start dumping US Treasury bonds on the market.<br />2. Iran close the shipping lanes for oil and gas.<br />3. One major bank default on its derivatives (don't forget, the US Banking industry has derivative exposure to the tune of over 17 times the WORLD GDP at the most conservative estimate. These things are starting to collapse)<br />4. The world is starting to unhook from the US dollar as the reserve currency...there are any number of ways this could mess us up big time overnight but its one of the least likely scenarios. <br />5. Successful or partial successful EMP attack.<br />6. Hackers get serious access to financial computer networks and either jumble the records or start transferring money overseas.<br />7. JP Morgan is manipulating the silver market to keep the inflation rate hidden and interest rates low. Others are doing the same with gold. All with apparent government approval. Just like any ponzi scheme, their ability to do this is getting less and less....and it's expected to run out sometime in the next year. As folk (including major banks) are being caught without the gold or silver they have been paid to store for clients or to purchase and store for clients, they are having to pay more and more for replacement gold and silver to make good on what they were supposed to already have. There is not enough in existence to cover what has been sold...its just not there. This could cause all kinds of problems....check out the stories of Germany trying to physically inspect the gold they have been paying the Federal Deposit bank to store for them for years now....its been six months and they still can't even see it.<br /><br />The list goes on...<br /><br />Hope that helped just a Tid bit.:)Cavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-35348292306778598582012-11-09T17:39:49.739-05:002012-11-09T17:39:49.739-05:00Dave and Vic,

I have tried them all and keep them all.<br />I like to read different versions, but my real understanding and joy comes from the NLT also. I so look forward to reading and studying. I agree, if you force yourself to read a version you do not understand, are you going to read it? or give up.<br />thats my 2 cents.marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-73334265928706228532012-11-09T17:34:08.563-05:002012-11-09T17:34:08.563-05:00Hi Alice,

Don't get hung up on this issue as it will keep you from moving ahead in your walk and growth with God. The reason being is because your always wondering if your what your reading is the truth and that can have disastrous consequences on your trusting the Bible as a whole.<br />2. Ask God to show you which version he wants you to read. About 18 years ago I was in this dilema and I just asked God to show me which is the best translation for me and before I knew it I had a New Living Translation in my hands. You know what it spoke to me and I've had and loved that bible since.<br />3. The word of God is perfect but in my opinion not the versions. Heresy you cry, please bear with me. I doubt we will ever be able to read a bible exactly the way it was written in the original languages as there just simply aren't exacting words in the English language to parallel or match the original.<br />4. As I said in number 2, you must ask God to show which version is for you as He made you and knows what works for you. You are an original and are created so your maker, He knows.<br />5. If your American I am betting you can't afford to get hung up on this issue. You will probably have to start devoting yourself to serious prayer and fasting, seeking Gods face for His guidance and provision in these terrible days of the wonderful coming of Christ. <br /><br />So my friend please please please find yourself a modern translation or one that speaks to you ie jumps off the page and opens the understanding of your mind, giving you the assurance that God has just spoken to you. You don't know how long Bibles will be legal over there so please go to your Heavenly Father and ask Him now. <br />It's very far away that banning home groups are coming to my nation of Australia, don't worry it's coming I believe that.<br /><br />DaveDave DUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-59998411865208050422012-11-09T15:16:12.296-05:002012-11-09T15:16:12.296-05:00Hi Mary!
