    Which bible version would you use for formal theology studies?

    Considering the availability of tools, and that You are entering seminary, I'd consider the NIV11. It's not my own preference but I have viewpoints that probably differ from Yours: Such as that since two and a half Months I won't buy more Bibles that have a reading level grade lower than 11½, I...

    Masoretic Text v LXX / DSS /Peshitta

    Prayer here IMO is to read the Bible with such fascination for pretty much all of it and read also the parts You haven't for a while and otherwise with a good intent and frequent research or using a truly excellent Biblical commentary, that You after some time have had the Bible cleanse and...

    The benefits of platonic relationships

    You judge me but are completely clueless about actual figures. If I would actually put effort into both working AND being married fairly soon, I'd loose about $160,000 during 28 Years. So I'd have to make AT LEAST $225,000 from part-time work 25% of full-time pace, i.e. about 10 hours a Week...

    I'm tired of the Christian Culture

    I commend You for that, Mhcapa1! Sounds like what I'm doing except I didn't do in an exact chronological order. I keep taking time completely off just to read and research the Bible, probably usually more often than once a Year, maybe twice every 1½ Years. Prepping to do this took effort and...

    AS in Christian Ministry - what kind of computer should I use? Does it matter?

    For the kind of use You intend, I'd say a tablet with some physical keyboard sollution that runs Windows 10 and has an AMD CPU, if You can find one, and install Accordance Bible Study software on it. Try installing the free version first just to test speed and think whether You could use it for...

    Struggling ...

    I have found what works for me, that's the problem: My standards are now raised to maximum particularly regarding relationship and even friendship. In reality I don't require a large number of things, I've just found a better friend I could ever have even imagined - the way we function together...

    Good guys or bad guys?

    I'd LOVE to be really domesticated. I keep hearing I'm a good guy. Perhaps it's the attraction part then - although I would consider ableness to talk together also being attraction. I've heard the latter last time I got a message too! Kind of I guess "attraction" was not spelled out but I can...

    The benefits of platonic relationships

    Neither do I think most divorces are due to rushing into marriage. A very long marriage costs so much I have to wonder whether there's any point in wanting even a girlfriend. Let me put the question like this: Why want anything that's extremely expensive. All my big failures in life have come...

    How many pills is too many ( vitamins)

    The OP is good! Regarding calcium, I'd only take Calcium citrate about 200-250 mg a day - and in a separate meal. I'd add Magnesium citrate at least 100 mg/day - in a separate meal. Iron might be needed for women, not for men though. Personally I also eat mangan - but a low dose. I split them. I...

    Pointless to prep for longer than 14 days?

    I would think it's possible to run out of some things on a really long term: A bit rare books that You've chosen carefully, some of the business opportunities that only come up under certain circumstances, the parts of the possibilities to keep the Sole trader firm active that are only going to...

    Economic Collapse?

    That's very well done, bugkiller! Some of my costs are very low because of completely other reasons than Yours. I don't know how much I pay for heating it is included in the rent but I can imagine it's quite a lot, I'm rather stuck living in a too large appartment as it's an incredibly complex...

    Is it a good or bad idea for me to prep to be able to get theologically minded friend and/or spouse?

    Well I made a best friend but she moves back and unless a sizable dowry is possible (reversed compared to how it was historically done of course as she's the one who both makes money and would need to bear costs such as a loan) and she realizes I can take out my money anywhere and actually...

    Should I prepp something now besides am able to do Christian Bible scholarship research w/ someone?

    It's a question. As I've been doing one kind of prepping already, is there anything else related to gathering things and finding another additional hobby that I need to do?

    Bulk shopping over the state line

    I shop online over very long distances looking closely at shape and postage costs - I usually do that a lot + compare prices locally in brick-and-mortar stores or buy second hand or items that are gifted away, on for example Facebook. Over here some even shop their groceries online locally, I...

    Looking for NPP-friendly translation

    There is an updated text Edition of the Complete Jewish Bible out since more than a Year, I just got home my cowhide leather bound CJSB (i.e. Study Bible) copy this Tuesday. The updated Bible text is not yet available electronically anywhere: Regarding the NPP, please look at the list I...

    What is your favourite Old Testament Theology?

    I've been making lots of differents choices since I wrote in this thread last time. I did read from it for a short period, but actually returned that Handbook ... series for a refund. Also, I didn't buy that theology collection, I still only have one volume from it: Into the Hands of the Living...

    what bible translation is most accurate?

    I have more Bibles than most, because I actually intensively use all of the versions I've deemed valuable to own and so far every now and then I've worn out a print version and I wear out harddrives in computers which I've used for Bible Study softwares and discussing Bible versions and building...

    Why do I feel faint when I read the bible too much ?

    For me if I'm feeling similar to this, I'll go reading at my office desk turning off the computer - or if I keep it on accessing my most fragile Bibles on the computer instead of the dead tree versions of them. The proximity of my other books and Bibles, helps, but most and foremost I maintain a...

    Which Bible translation should I use?

    Two versions come to my mind, that I'd dare to recommend You - and I'll explain why, sensing all Your criteria which is not the exact same criteria as I have myself (most and foremost I would for example definitely not require modern English spoken today, although there is a limit of course how...
