The Douy Rheim Bible (written in 1609) or the King James Bible (written in 1611)?

All Bibles are Good as long as they don't cut out the truth. The Bible is a book of truth. Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Truth holds the world in position until the end of time as we know it. Truth will hold up any thing yes it is holding up the universe. Get truth!

Not sure which one is the best. I like reading the
NKJV(New King James Version)
I also have a Life application study Bible so when I can't understand a certain verse I refer to that one. I also refer to the New Living Translation.
For New Testament I ask my pastor whom is Greek and has had extensive study on the ancient Greek language and the original form the NT was written. One word in Greek has such deep meaning that no words in English language can describe the exact meaning. They come close and that's ok.

The Douy Rheim Bible is better. It has the deutorcanonical books which the KJ Bible lack. The protestant reformers remove those books during the reformation while the Catholic Church kept them.

To me the KJV, but not because of King James, but Dr. Paul Reynolds and his scholar's who lead the translation of the King James.
I also used a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, for original Greek and Hebrew.
The Apocrypha Books are good for a study of History. but are not inspirational.

Besides the King James is the most persecuted Bible there is!

I guess the best Bible would be the one written in the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramic text to prevent any form of misrepresentation through translation. But this will involve getting all Christians to study Hebrew, Greek, and Aramic.

Tyndale Bible and Septuagint, two quality pieces of The Holy Scriptures preserved.

The best Bible is the one you will read and study on a daily basis because it makes no difference whatsoever to place one on your coffeetable or bookshelf and never look at it. God has written us a letter and he wants us to understand it. He has made it very simple and used lots and lots of repetition so we really get the point but no one is going to just absorb it by osmosis.

The best bible is the one you read. It depends if you want the Apocrypha or not. Seeing as how I am Catholic I would not chose the KJB as it does not contain the Apocrypha. But it is going to be the one you feel the most comfortable reading.
