It has come to my attention Christian resources such as the Bibles and an on-line Bible/study site I have been using, 'may be' not be for me, or worse, tainted. I am a beginner having been called less than a month ago; and I'm old, with little patience for sewing of seeds in anything less than good ground.
I was given a copy of the Jerusalem Bible 1968

and found a copy of The New Testament in Modern English 1962

I've no interest in practicing Catholicism or using Roman Catholic Church references for other than academic or informational purposes.
When I surf on-line its not difficult to turn away from sources having an axe to grind, obvious heresies, way glitzy and overloaded front pages - or too commercial, etc. What frightens is the subtle, curious, or unnoticed heresies. One example being business affiliations hell bent on the all-mighty dollar. There are others - and here's where it gets dicey.
Up to now I've been using
Prayed for guidance today, took a nap, and awoke to click on the above to read the NASB version of Mark. Something (lol) told me
to first take a peek at the Zondervan Corporation

I don't know.
Must Christians do preliminary background investigations of everyplace we hear the word? Has some caring and double-sharp man of God already compiled a Jesus approved list for us? Am I splittin' hairs? Bible Gateway dot com's Biblical text says a little poison ain't ok.
Uh boy. A polluted mind and troubled heart such as mine has had a lot of practice in the ways of the world. My faith is young, iffy, and real fragile right now hence I truly hope your Bible and study resources are divine, righteous, and immaculate. If you know or believe this, for the love of God, please share with us.
I'm hitting a bookstore tomorrow and look around for one of these

and hope Nietzsche was full of prunes when he wrote in chapter IV of "Beyond Good and Evil",
121. It is a curious thing that God learned Greek when he wished to turn author--and that he did not learn it better.
Thank God, and thank you all for being here,
