So you taught sunday school for a year before you owned a bible?My first bible was an Open Bible KJV presented to me by the First Freewill Baptist Church after spending a year with them teaching Sunday School while I was going to college. I read that bible until the cover fell off and I had to buy another bible. Which was another KJV Open Bible! Oh to go back in time! I would love to spend a Sunday evening service with them while they had the Footwashing-Communion service!

Meaning that mom and dad never owned one? The only way this could happen is someone converts from Buddhism or something
Obviously well used. My first NIV is like that and with loads of markings and pages falling out.My first bible was an Open Bible KJV presented to me by the First Freewill Baptist Church after spending a year with them teaching Sunday School while I was going to college.

I bought the NKVJ Open Bible in 1985 and that is still my main Bible and the only one I mark up and take notes in church and study from. Before that I had the NASB, fully marked up, but it wasn't an Open Bible. What I wish Thomas Nelson would make was a Spirit-Filled NKJV Open Bible with all the notes of the Spirit-Filled NKJV, and Concordance, but add the Biblical Cyclopedic Index. My husband had The Living Bible. What a great read. It is like reading the Bible as a commentary. Fortunately, the author had great insight, and taught me a lot of doctrines that were hard to understand in the translations.My first bible was an Open Bible KJV presented to me by the First Freewill Baptist Church after spending a year with them teaching Sunday School while I was going to college.

@Michael BoryAlis Hi, Sir; I do myself greatly appreciate the King James and use it extensively; and as you say the Strong's linkages can be very helpful. While I wouldn't go so far as to say that everything else is false, in my humble view the King James far exceeds many of the alternatives.
