What study Bible do you use?

[KeptByTheWord]

I am looking to purchase a new study Bible. I currently have several study Bibles that include the Thompson Chain KJV, a NKJV study Bible, and a KJV/Amplified Bible.

I have been considering purchasing an ESV Bible, and just wanted an opinion on translations, and study helps out there. Going to the Bible section at the book store is overwhelming, with so many different translations, and study helps available.

Would appreciate hearing what works for you, and why. Thanks!

despite the fact that 'www'='666' in Hebrew, i am completely hooked on online study now, with virtually all the translations--that i at least assume are rendered faithfully--at my fingertips.

I check them all out...I use in church the KJV but it is not the only Bible I use and read.

Didn't know that about the 666. LOL... is the internet the "antichrist" then? interesting.

I have e-sword, and also use biblehub. But, I still prefer the old fashioned pages to turn. I don't have a kindle either. Guess I'm just still old fashioned, but there is something precious to me about turning pages where I can write thoughts on, underline, highlight, and so on. Because of this, I tend to wear out Bibles pretty quickly, lol.

KJV seems to be the standard that most are familiar with, for sure.

Take just 5 minutes and watch this video titled "Best Overall Bible". I did research after buying many Bibles and being disappointed with quality. Bought this one and it has **exceeded** my expectations. VERY high quality. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

Thank you for your input! I watched the video, and this guy certainly seems very confident in this Bible. So... you own one of these Bibles?

Question, is the OSAS doctrine "confirmed" in a sense in this Bible, since a Baptist man wrote it? I read through some of the notes detailing this Bible, and thought I would just ask you for your opinion on that.
