New member Young pastor

[Kingfisher]

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 not a pastor but I fill in to preach on occasion.

I do lead a small group Bible study weekly.

I have a John MacArthur NASB study Bible that I use
I mostly use commentaries (mostly Guzik and Gill) from Bible Hub. https://biblehub.com/commentaries/
I sometimes use a few (Chuck Smith) from Blueletter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/

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"?

What I mean by that is that I’m not 100% satisfied with any study/reference Bible I have used. I’m just hoping with suggestions I could look into a few and see if any of them are what I’m looking for

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!
