  From a perspective of efforting to understand the Bible, the NIV is easier to read and understand, in todays modern English language. I do agree with you that the KJV is the more poetic of the two, if that is what you want.

    Maybe it takes some extra effort, but it´s worth it. And old forms of language are closer to the true meaning of words. And then, there´s that thing about left brain vs right brain, which poetic language jumps over so easily, going straight to the core of things...

    But you missed mine. I read the Bible for inspiration rather than
    information. Regards,

    J.R., listening to Jovino dos Santos.

        When you tire of being a simpleton, take some peyote or mushrooms.
        Open your eyes. Another point of view, personally experienced, can
        do wonders for tedious petulance. Regards,

        J.R.
