If you read anything other than a leather KJV get the FUCK off my board

Reminder that if you have only read the KJV then you have never really read the Bible.

It's sad but true.

>if you haven't read a translation you haven't read the bible

I didn't know the bible was produced in the 17th century

I was thinking of either getting the NRSV or the KJV. NRSV seems great in providing the most accurate english translation while also being much easier to read, though the KJV is what is directly referenced or quoted from in literature and mostly in open discussion as well from what I understand. Which should i get? I feel like i should stick with the KJV for its style and influence but I am afraid that some of the archaic syntax will lead me away from a truer intrepretation of the text.

Bible translations tend to keep tradition, and the NRSV is technically a direct offshoot of the KJV (KJV --> RV --> ASV --> RSV --> NRSV), so it keeps quite a bit of the most famous language of the KJV.

Ultimately, if you're reading for anything, read for understanding. Whether that understanding comes from an old version or a new version, I don't know. But reading the entire goddamn Bible just to understand references to it is stupid, imho.

>>10053416
Women are just big sweet dummies. I can't be misogynistic these days. They're just dumb as fuck and nice and sweet by nature.

>>10053407
What the fuck is the appeal of a choker? They're not even cute. It's like wearing a string around your neck.

>>10053448
People like the feel/look of things around their necks. Chokers directly get that feeling/look, without the extra frills of a tie or a scarf or a cravat or a necklace or whatever.

Honestly, if they weren't called "chokers" and weren't associated with sluts, no one would pay them much attention (and yet, arguably, they'd be less popular).

It's the only reason to read the bible lmao in the first place lmao. My e-cred has gone up signficantly since reading leviticus and matthew.

>>10053760
No pretty girl is a virgin past 12. Invariably they're molested or have a sexual experience early on. Where do you think the stereotype of girls being more mature than boys comes from/ They're exposed to reality early on.

Think back to your teen crushes, yeah, all of them were probably fucking/had been fucked for the longest time while you were daydreaming about kissing her on the cheek.

What is it with hyper religious evangelical type girls and their obsession with purity which just makes them even more lustful?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd6QUobgIik

You can just tell she loved it when she talks about how someone said he wanted "to bang the Jesus out of her." This chick reminds me so much of a girl I dated once.

KJV like any relevant human should read.

>>10053223
I have an ESV just because I got it from a hotel room and that's what the Gideons distribute.

what kind of bible she and her mom read?

No love for NASB? That one is really good for study, and most seminaries use it. I usually switch between it and the KJV.

>>10053400
>NRSV seems great in providing the most accurate english translation
I've never heard anyone say that. the NRSV is considered a liberal translation

>>10054585
Most of /lit/ is Catholic so there isn't much, if any, discussion about non-Catholic approved bibles other than the KJV.
Despite the fact that "Protestant" bibles are generally objectively truer to the source material and use more accurate manuscripts. At least in the case of the ASV and NASB

>>10054574
Probably this

>>10054574
God I love her. How many girls like that even exist? Pains my heart. Do they still exist in Utah?

The ESV is a great modern translation. I prefer it to the NRSV.

I want to get a Bible with good commentary. Preferably commentary written by a Catholic or Orthodox Christian.

Any recommendations?

I was thinking about getting something like this https://www.amazon.com/Orthodox-Study-Bible-Christianity-Athanasius/dp/B017V84NM4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506039456&sr=8-3&keywords=orthodox+study+bible

>>10054729

Am I the only one who rarely thinks about fucking girls I see IRL? I definitely appreciate dat ass and whatnot but my mind almost never goes to "I want to fuck that." I also don't understand guys wanting to have a self insert in porn either. I dig the aesthetics. Mostly lesbians or solo. Does this even qualify as lust by that definition?

>>10055233

>Am I the only one who rarely thinks about fucking girls I see IRL?

wtf.

yes.

I'm reading the KJV atm, it's lovely to read but I'm a bit of a pleb who is used to pulp stuff so I've been reading it at a very slow pace. Something like 1 book every two weeks. I'm up to the Fourth Book of Kings, I think my favourites so far have been Exodus and Judges.

>>10055233
Today I walked behind some cute girls and thought about saying things like
>I'm your dog treat me like your dog I want to be your fucking dog make me lick your ass like a dog I'll lick your fucking sweaty ass hole clean like a fucking mutt animal punch me in the fucking face and make me lick your ass cheeks clean like I'm your fucking dog on my knees
to them

They were with their mom

Do you have low test or do I have high test?

>>10055233
>Am I the only one who rarely thinks about fucking girls I see IRL? I definitely appreciate dat ass and whatnot but my mind almost never goes to "I want to fuck that."

This is normal, it just means you're seeing them as a person and not a possible one-night stand. You only think about someone sexually IRL if they're being sexually suggestive to you.

>>10055540
pretty good pace. Keep with it, more exciting stuff will be coming up soon

>>10054574
NASB or RSV2CE, since they're Catholic.

The Western Canon starts with the Authorised Version, therefore it's probably vital that you read it.

>>10057112

No idea who he is. I've lived in England for a year and got to know some of your celebrities, but I don't recognize him from a picture on google. I also don't own a TV so if he's popular in the US I'd be unaware of him.
