The Gideon Bible is far better than both.
It contains only God's Word, and no untrue and misleading commentaries of modern man who peddle their opinions with clever packaging and advertising to turn a buck.
Regardless of anyone's views, the entire epidemic of how modern-day bibles are packed with more opinions and 'expert speculations' than the actual scriptures themselves should trouble any sincere Christian.
It is difficult to go to any Bible Bookstore and find printable bibles without somebodies name plastered across the cover, espousing their expert opinions throughout.
Find a bible without commentaries, (like the Gideon Bibles), and study them with all your heart and soul....for they contain the truth of God's Word without external man's faulty opinions.
Colossians 2:6 "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. "
Though, it won't be out until Oct of 2006.
