Questions About My Bible

Now faith,
You are right, I had suggested it could be covered, but hang on why should you have to do that? I agree that you should return it and also tell them why.

As I said there should not be any of these sort of symbols on the Bible. I use a King James Bible and all it has on it is "Holy Bible" it is from Cambridge Press who are one of the oldest publishers of the Bible. Also the Trinitarian Bible Society have their Bibles at really good prices and are worldwide.
I think you are wise to be discerning as you have been. (or should I say wise to heed the Holy Spirit leading you). Do keep us up to date.
God Bless You

Two actually. The cross and the fish.

There is also a third, but it was of the ancient Messianic Jewish community, and was a combo of the fish, Star of David and the Menorah.

Hi there, I recently bought myself a new KJV bible and I have a few questions about it that I couldn't find anywhere on the internet when trying to search for answers.

First of all, could someone tell me what the following image means? I'd like to think it symbollically represents Jesus' crown of thorns, though I feel I could be wrong. A part of me fears that it might be a pagan symbol or something (which I hope is not the case). Here it is:



Secondly, I notice that all the names of people and places in this bible have syllable dashes or something which I find somewhat annoying and cumbersome to read, for example: Je-sus, Da-vid, Is-ra-el, A-dam, E-den, Ish-ma-el, so on and so forth. It's repeated continuously throughout it. This may be a dumb question, but what do you call that? I've found no information regarding other bibles printed in this manner, although I assume it's to help with pronunciation.

Thanks for your help!
