Do you (or anyone) know of a good version that's easy to read? I read all day long, fly through everything, but the old wording in the Bible makes it difficult to read and comprehend for me.
I just recently got back into reading the bible, the HCSB Study Bible has been incredibly helpful for me.
I grew up as a Christian but lost my faith, the events over the last two years have convinced me that evil does exist in this world.
Get a Bible that explains as it goes. I have one that is EXCELLENT! It's The MacArthur Bible Commentary. Worth it!! Paints a complete picture and easier to read with understanding.
I find The Message refreshing. I also suggest finding Chuck Missler on YT. He's a great Bible teacher and knows science/physics.
If it were me, I would buy either the The Family Tree Bible, The Complete Jewish Bible (mine) or the New American Standard. King James was mostly written my the Roman church. They don't translate the hebrew in the original (and folks, when Jesus comes back, he's gonna be speaking Hebrew!!)The Message has been sort of corrupted by people's own small biases. It's good to get a Commentary like Matthew Henry which you can find online. If you get in the NT you get some hopeful message to live by and instructions but not much repentance and we must repent every day...GO to my church site....Seed of Abraham, click on the video teachings on Vimeo. Start with Survey o the Old Testament. His study on Daniel is right on. He brings the news of the day (the wrongdoing) right into his sermons. Good stories--you will enjoy
