I've had my feet in and out over the years of really starting my journey into the words of Jesus Christ, but haven't fully accepted it. I finished watching [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ4NTdSK5ac] and my mind is blown. Especially the part he says towards the end that "why should god show himself to me if I won't continue banging on the door over and over?"
It's like I've been waiting for proof, but if I knock once or twice, don't get proof and give up, why should god present himself?
I encourage you all to watch this video. For those of us who were on Voat, it says a lot of what we already knew, but he provided sources, citations, photos. It's quite remarkable the work he put into this video.
Anyways, I would like to get myself a bible and I am curious what the most accurate version is?
I am also curious if the words of the bible today can be trusted? Who is to say the satanists didn't take over publication and tweak words, remove verses, etc? This is a legitimate concern of mine.
This is the most serious post I've ever made and I am genuinely looking forward to responses so I can proceed to the next step of this journey.
I personally like the KJV, but I get that it's not for everyone.
My next 2 choices would be NASB and ESV.
I grew up with NIV. That's where I found salvation, but really, it never resonated with me. I couldn't get excited about reading it.
I don't particularly care for NLT or The Message.
Personal advice, go to biblegateway.com.
You can pull up 2 translations, any 2, and read them side by side. Do this with Psalm 23. That should point you in the right direction.
