Random Bible tag
Alice tagged me on a Biblical type thread. My reply below and feel free to consider yourself tagged if you'd like to blog this one
1 What translation of the Bible do you like best?
Er, the NIV (and particularly the one with ALL my notes in) for study, The NLT when I'm working with Teens, The Message for it's idiom and energy and the KJV for using the word "dung" in Philipians (the NIV loses marks here IMHO for translating the word as "rubbish")
2. Old or New Testament?
Difficult to understand one without the other (he remarks in a slightly piously theological smart-alec way) but on balance it has to be the NT as there's less that just plains weirds me out)
3. Favorite Book of the Bible?
"It's all good" quote Rev Lovejoy ..... but if pushed, John!
4. Favorite Chapter?
John 1
5. Favorite Verse? (feel free to explain yourself if you have to)
Not sure I'm comfortable anymore with lifting verses out of their context so my answer to this one is the same as above, John chapter 1
6. Bible character you think you're most like?
Timothy (apart from the obvious chronological non tie-up, i.e he was young)
7. One thing from the Bible that confuses you?
The Old Testament and Revelation
8. Moses or Paul?
Both
9. A teaching from the Bible that you struggle with or don't get?
The trinity (I mean I kind of do but at the same time I'm convinced that anyone who says they REALLY gets it means that they don't)
10. Coolest name in the Bible?
Habakkuk (which I seem to remember can mean "embraced" or "garden vegetable")
