What I mean by that is that I’m not 100% satisfied with any study/reference Bible I have used.

Who is, though? I think it might be the price for using a translation in general.

And let's face it, you're not going to agree with any biblical commentator 100% of the time. You use what speaks to you and impart that to your flock.

I agree. There will never be a commentary any of us agree on 100%. I believe that’s why Thompson created the chain reference system so it’s all about scripture on topics. But I have my problems with that reference system as well. I was a lot more satisfied before I was told to use “this and that” and was just using my old Regency Bible I was given when baptized. Just wanted to throw the question out there to see what everyone loved using!

Hello everyone. I am a new member here and a young pastor. I have a question for any preachers out there. Before I answered my call to preach I never really pod attention to the many different Bibles there are out there. Once a started preaching I had a few different study/reference Bibles given to me and suggested to me to use. I love them all but am on the hunt for one that I just can’t seem to find.  What is a good Bible any of you all would suggest to use to preach out of and study out of?  Not asking for translations I use only KJV (not trying yo start an argument there).

I'm afraid if I went up to preach I'd get a bunch of funny looks, so from the perspective of critical study, I'm partial to the Oxford Annotated NRSV. I'll be picking up the 5th revision when it releases next year.

In terms of sticking to the KJV, Thomas Nelson is a decent choice.

In tems of what's best: learning and reading in the original languages.

What is the "one [you] just can't seem to find"?

Soon be 92 year old mother in law adjusting well to life with us for over six month, although she does tend to overdo it with the weed eater and blower out in the yard…🤷‍♂️

I aspire to be spry enough to use a weed eater at age 92.

I hear you

We have approx 450 feet of curbside e with the street. About 320 feet  of sidewalk (2 sides of course). Call it 300 feet of driveway and parking all in. That’s just edging the grass next to concrete… then around all the flowerbeds and raised garden beds…

I’ve seen her go three+ hours in the summer heat without sitting down or taking a break except to maybe get a drink of water.

Tough tough tough…

 Share your aspirations

All are well here in the home front…

I feel your pain on the studies…

Some days I feel like Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof…”I’d have the time that I lack to sit in the synagogue and pray and maybe have a seat by the eastern wall… and I’d discuss the holy books with the learned men seven hours every day…and that would be the sweetest thing of all… oy!”
