I am sorry to hear that. Hopefully you get a chance to explore both in the future. Comics have been a huge part of my life growing up and same with the Bible - great stories and needed life lessons.

I'll be sure to look into it when I need to know the godly way to keep my slaves and sacrifice my goats.

As usual, a person that knows nothing about the Bible is trying to act like he does and reads from the abysmal NIV translation.

Shhh, you'll hurt his feelings. He really thought he was on to something there, he read something even.

I'm indifferent to comics and the only way for bible study to be worthwhile is to study it from a secular perspective and enjoy the stories as fictional mythology and allegory, like Greek, Norse, Egyptian, etc. mythology.

No, the King James Version is a dated translation that is only good for it's literary value. The NIV is considered a bad translation because it often distorts what the Bible says to fit the world view of fundamentalist American Protestants. If one wants a good, modern translation, they should use the NRSV.

This, despite being a Wordpress site, has some good examples of the problems with the NIV:

The usual response from someone that's mad that people attack their unsubstantiated world view.

I have seen people who say the KJV is the only good Bible translation (one reason being that it doesnt omit that one verse from Mark so it is more true to Gods word or something like that)

From what I have read I cannot trust the site you linked. From the About section its by some guy so its impossible to know what his biases are just from that, but he is pointing out words that dont match or are incorrect, but the NIV is meant to translate meaning rather than literal words.

That doesnt necessarily mean its a good or bad translation, but I find it the most useful because it translates meaning.

I havent found one good English translation of the Quran, so I try to read multiple translations + the literal Arabic to find my own meaning for ambiguous verses

Perosnally I recommend the 1599 Geneva bible. It is english enough to read and it has a pretty accurate translation of the jewish bible.

Pretty good. Liked the length.
Some things resonated. Temptation has been hard for me. And I've definitely been brought low lately.
As for translations, I've heard NASB was good.

Might give this a look, not clicked on the link yet so don't know how serious it is.

I was reading a book on Lucifer by Peter Grey earlier in the week and it said that it's hard to get a full understanding of Lucifer and how he can fit into occult practice without reading the bible, Grey recommends the King James translation so I started that this morning. I'm also a comics fan

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding temptation, know your triggers, get trusted friends and family who can help keep you accountable, and substitute with prayer, Bible study, and a solid hobby - gaming, writing, etc.
