  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My favorite (right now) is a NASB, only had it about a year but it is the most comfortable for me to read of all the others I've tried so far. Since it's fairly new it's not marked up alot yet and the binding is still good and tight, but there is a small coffee stain on the first few pages. It's average size (not thinline, but not a boomer), navy bonded leather (not the expensive leather), thumb indexed (gotta have), not alot of study notes but good references (which I prefer to notes), cost me about $55.

I do keep it in a plain burgundy fabric cover because I've learned over the years that it really helps to keep the binding more intact, as well as keeping my notepad and pen handy. I use a colored ink pen for underlining/note taking --- one of those with four colors in one barrel. I have an attachable ribbon marker that my daughter gave me with 5 ribbons on it and 2 other laminated bookmarks with short biographies and pictures of my Grandma and my Aunt, both of who were very special to me.

I'd really like to try the ESV that I keep hearing about, and also a Thompson. I must go shopping! :)

I have at least 16 different Bibles in various versions and tranlations. I prefer a KJV and use one for my study. I have 2 wide margin Bibles, one with the pages falilng out and filled with notes and the other exactly like it that is new. I use the one in study and the other in the pulpit since I can find passages easy in it as they are in the exact same place on the page as the one I study with. Opps I didn't count the ones I have on e-sword. that makes about 20. I do use them all in various stages of study and preperation. Some are more worn than others.
