I'm 14, own the bible I got when I was baptised, 5 I got on different christmas's, one for school, one for home, and a selection of stories from the bible I got for my 3rd birthday. They are all Roman Catholic bibles.

and yes, i read them. lol, i have no choice- i'm at a catholic high school, my parents read them with me every night, and i can't get to sleep now without a psalm or two

Answer 1

I have 11 of them - one is a childrens bible, one is a student bible bought for comparative religions classes in college and the rest are family bibles of various versions handed to me because they contain valuable genealogical family data in them. The oldest bible I have is from the late 1700's that was my 4x great grandmothers.

I am 38 and I have no religion being an atheist.

Answer 2

I was raised Catholic but I pick and choose things that strike me as true from many religions. I'm 28.
I own a King James Bible, another one that belonged to my husband's mother, a Catholic Bible that belonged to my great aunt, a few of those little New Testaments that they give you at all special events, the Book of Mormon, the Bhagavad Gita, some Grimoires, books about Angels, a book profiling several different religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc, a book about secrets of the Kabbala, numerous new age books, a book about Scientology, books about saints and Mary, the Catechism Doctrine of the Catholic Church, and many more that I can't remember or see because they are buried behind others on my bookcases.

Answer 3

I have 4 Bibles now, one is a New International Version, the rest are all King James Versions. Two are small, and I carry those with me wherever I go, the other two are too big to carry, so I leave those at home. My husband has 1 big Bible, and he carries his with him. We do have some other books from other religions, but we use those to study from.

We are members of the Church of Christ (Romans 16:16). He's turning 43 this coming Sunday, and I'm 45.

Answer 4

My first Bible was a KJV version given to me by my sister For Christmas 1990. I also have an NIV family, KJV for the Lake house, NIV for the car to use at church and work. Audio CD KJV. My next purchase will be Roman Catholic version.

I am a 34 year old Christian, in the process of converting to Catholic. Have a blessed day.

Answer 5

Yes , Authorized King James Version, we have about 15 or 16 Bibles in our home including the NKJV,NASB, NIV,.ASV, Good news for modern Man Bible, and so many religious books I cant name them all or count them.

Remember this , Sin will keep you from the Bible, but the Bible will keep you from sin . For this to be true you must read your Bible . It does you no good sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

Answer 6

I own a few different ones, including a couple of Roman Catholic Editions. The one I normally read is a NKJV MacArthur Study Edition, but it is falling apart, so I suppose I will get a different one sometime this upcoming year.

Answer 7

I have 2 Bibles, one is new International Version, which my parents gave me when I was baptized 20 years ago, and the other is a New King James Version that I got last year. I prefer the New King James version myself.

Answer 8

I own one version of KJV, as well as a separate copy of the New Testament for research purposes.

The books I actually own on my own religion and related topics number nearly two dozen and included titles by Scott Cunningham, Amber K., Eileen Holland, and Ashleen O'Gaea. (I am especially fond of "Family Wicca" and "Raising Witches.")

I also own a copy of the Qu'ran, and a few translations of some Hindu texts.

I am a 30-something eclectic Wicca.

Answer 9

I have two or three New International Versions, a couple King James Translations, a New Living Translation, a Greek New Testament, and an Italian New Testament.

Answer 10

I'm 15 and I have no religion, but I do believe in God. I do own a Bible, but I'm not sure what kind it is. I use it for interpretation, especially the Book of Revelations. That's the best part to analyze!
