Which Bible? (salvation, protestant, baptism, bishop)

[Malachi]

Well there all the same as you can see

Blessed are they who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart. (NIV)

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.(KJV)

How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
Who seek Him with all their heart. (NASB)

Psalm 119:2

The wording may be a little different but the message is still the same but if you want a direct translation from hebrew then i suggest the KJV.

[kaykay]

NASB. I heard (right or wrong) that this was the most accurate translation. I think NIV is a little easier to read though. We have many versions in the house including the New King James version but really, I always go back to NASB.

[Malachi]

Thats cool ether way they all are still the word of GOD but im glad to hear you like to learn keep it and GOD BLESS.

[thefer]

I use the KJV and the Rye study bible(The New King James Version )
Was brought up using the King James and started using the Rye as I started maturing in my bible study. Also use the Matthew Henry Commentary.

[beth ann]

I use the St. Joseph edition of the New American Bible.

I had heard that the Catholic bible and Protestant bible might be different in the sense there are some books that the catholic bible has, that the protestatnt bible does not.

Any info on this?

The Apocrypha. I believe it's positioned between the Old and New Testaments and are a part of the Catholics Scriptures but not Protestants.

I enjoy using the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. But I also use the American Revised and THe New King James Version. I like to skip about because I find that it helps reaffirm my faith since they are almost completely in agreement. You can learn 'the truth' from all of them, even if there are slight differences in translation.

Actually, it was the Protestants who cut books out of the Bible during the Reformation.
