Jr001,
Don't be too concerned with what version of the bible you'll need. If it truly is Jesus that you are hungering and thirsty for, He'll come and teach you through what you have gleaned, from whatever bible you read from.
As to what I do recommend you read, aside from the bible itself, is to look for anything on Smith Wigglesworth. A man of God, borne and raised in your own country. He walked in the power of God simply by believing what the Holy Spirit taught him through the only source he used, an old KJV of the bible.
There is also a web site where you can read most of the sermons he spoke as well as 4 audio recordings of a man that knew Wigglesworth during his later years on earth. He raised the dead, healed the sick, cast out demons, and suffered through his physical ailments. But he believed and stood fast on only what he learned of God through reading the bible and no other publications.
Can anyone else on this site confess to this testimony as being apart of their own walk in Christ (the Anointing)? BTW, Jesus's last name is not Christ, but that which is the gift of God. The same Anointing that we all should be high examples of (those who proclaim themselves as being Christians).
Take care and guard your heart, for many will lead you astray from the purpose for which you were called of God to do; become a Son in the same manner as Jesus was on earth.
Now, just to start you off in a right direction, two things you need to know:
1) God is in a war with Satan. Satan, the Father of lies, is a deceiver. All doctrines are bent, therefore they are wrong! Although every doctrinal church (i.e.; Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, etc.) swears that they speak the truth. They don't (speaking in generalities only). There is only ONE religion, pure and undefiled, the same that Almighty God has spoken from His mouth. Religion, therefore, is the enemy of God. It is vomit on His table, and the drink that all have become drunken with. Religion will keep you under the Law of Moses and bring death to you and yours, for the letter kills...
2)Being borne from above, you now possess the nature of God in your inner-man. But your fleshly nature, which is a gift from Adam (laugh), will continue to assert itself as Lord of your life. It will die and cease to exist should you "...eat the Word of God and meditate upon it night and day." This nature exists within your mind (also known as your imagination). Overcome it through the Word of God and you shall never die! (Jesus said this twice in the NT). This lovely Adamic nature (laugh again) is your enemy! It is well known as the anti Christ. I know that everyone will tell you that the aC is the Devil, but He was defeated by Jesus and will never rise again.
Use this information to your benefit and live, or cast it aside and wonder why the good people of God suffer the plagues of Egypt, still.
Hope you choose wisely!
