CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What type of Bible do you have?

I prefer the amplified mysekf. I have NIV but I definitely don't think it's a good translation at all. Once you read something that goes more into depth things start to make alot more sense.

My Bible is an NIV. It's a Zondervan one called "Strive: The Bible For Men" which is full of little sidebar articles and the like to help explain passages, help with parts of life, etc, all stuff to do with men things.
My old Bible was the NIV Teen Study Bible, which was also good, with helpful bits in it too. I used it until a couple months ago when I got the new one (I decided I had outgrown it at 21 lol).
I just love Bibles where they help explain what you're reading and how it applies today. I don't think I'd ever buy myself one that just has the text and that's all. Nothing wrong with them, but like I said, I like to have that little bit extra.

I've got an NIV Women's Bible. It's alright. I like some of the sidebar things, but I haven't really gotten into the devotions (they only have one a week). NIV is my preferred translation, but I also like to go online and compare translations at www.biblegateway.com

jko said:I have three now, but my main Bible is the KJV Life Application Sutdy Bible. I really like it as it helps me get more out of the Bible.
I bought some Bible colored pencils for highlighting as I study... so far so good.
Perhaps it is better to ask me what type of Bible I do NOT have
I come from a family of Baptists, so we have tons of Bibles diane
