Bard needs Bible Study: (and fast!)

 

What is the best translation of the Bible ?

There is no one "best" translation of the Bible, as different translations have different strengths and weaknesses. Some factors to consider when choosing a translation include:

  • Accuracy: How closely does the translation follow the original Hebrew and Greek texts?
  • Readability: Is the translation easy to understand?
  • Style: Does the translation have a traditional or modern style?
  • Purpose: What do you plan to use the translation for? (Study, worship, personal reading, etc.)

Some of the most popular and well-respected English translations of the Bible include:

  • New International Version (NIV): The NIV is a balanced translation that strikes a good balance between accuracy and readability. It is one of the most popular translations in the world.
    New International Version (NIV) Bible
  • English Standard Version (ESV): The ESV is a literal translation that is very accurate to the original texts. It is a good choice for those who want a translation that is as close as possible to the original.
    English Standard Version (ESV) Bible
  • New Living Translation (NLT): The NLT is a dynamic translation that aims to communicate the meaning of the original texts in clear and understandable English. It is a good choice for those who want a translation that is easy to read and understand.
    New Living Translation (NLT) Bible
  • King James Version (KJV): The KJV is a classic translation that has been in use for centuries. It is a beautiful and poetic translation, but it can be difficult to understand for modern readers.

Ultimately, the best translation of the Bible for you is the one that you find most helpful and meaningful. There is no right or wrong answer, so it is important to try out different translations and see which one you prefer.

Brad is getting better! 

 

When the end of this wicked system will come?

The Bible does not give a specific date for the end of this wicked system. However, it does provide some signs that will indicate that the end is near. These signs include:

  • The increase of wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6)
  • The rise of false prophets and teachers (Matthew 24:11)
  • The persecution of Christians (Matthew 24:9)
  • The widespread increase of lawlessness (Matthew 24:12)
  • The appearance of a "sign" in the heavens (Matthew 24:30)

Jesus also said that "no one knows the day or hour" when the end will come (Matthew 24:36). This means that we should not be trying to predict the end, but rather we should be prepared for it at all times.
