I have Bibles in every room, left to me by my parents and my lovely aunt, the Church Army sister. Over the years I have bought the Jerusalem Bible, Living Bible, Life Application Bible, Amplified Bible, various commentaries, and recently The Message devotional Bible. I know, my family say, why don't you get rid of some, but every one is used. :rolleyes: I love books...:)

The KJV's literacy style is exactly why I hate it. Only modern American English is understandable. If other people who grew up around the KJV find it easy to read, that is great, but it feels like I am not reading an English Bible if words are written in the wrong order and there are way too many commas and words that do not exist anywhere else.

I too have bookmarked the Hub as an indispensable resource. But I must say, they do conflict with the Pentecostal message with those hosted commentators on occasion.

I have not even looked at ther commentaries yet. What conflicts did you find?

Forgive me, but I have long since shelved any remaining knowledge of what lead me to that one particular commentary. Nothing really earth-shattering, the usual cessationist's worries.
