Peace Jules,
I really do appreciate your patient and tolerance. I am not going crazy about it but I am concern. I will not question how God reaches those that seeks Him but I do know that Satan is the master of deception.
You may be quite right about the NIV, how it is easy to read and understand at the level that one can comprehend but really, why all the footnotes?
I am going to post some scriptures of both NIV and ASV along with a few other versions and let's see if each one means the same. For now, I will give it a rest and let others voice their opinions.
And thanks for the suggested Bible. I will look into it!
BIC,
Eddie
