I heard there is also a "modernized layman / english version of the bible". Do you if this is true and it's good to also have? You might say, it's not the original translation therefor it's 'fake / untrue'. Ya but if I can't understand the Robin Hoodish, Robin Hoodish, Robin Hoodish version of english in the bible then I ain't getting the 'right translation' there either.

Thanks!

I was reading one and noticed this. Thought it was “weird” / blasphemous. It referred to “other gods” then god as “lord”.

I was like, wait a minute, the Bible recognizes other gods?

God himself sure seemed to.

Exodus 20:1-3: “And God spoke all these words: 'I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.’”

Now think on what that says, and also on what it does not say, most carefully.

It says: "I am your God." (Those other folks over there? They've got their own god/s that aren't me.)

It says: "You shall have no other gods before me.

He could have said: "I am the one, true, god." But he didn't.

He could have said: "I am the only god." But again, he didn't.

It doesn't even forbid the worship of other gods, only stating that you must worship God, first and foremost, before them.

...ahem... "for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"

I mean.. that's pretty effing clear, my guy.

Ahem yourself, friend. Unlike the Ten Commandments, that's not claimed to be a direct quote from God himself, is it? That came later. From the mouths of men, didn't it?

weird how jealousy was one of the 7 deadly sins.

The fallen Angels became the pantheon of gods worshipped by ancient cultures, the bible just acknowledges that perspective that other supernatural, though lesser beings exist. Today, that's inverted, and some just call them "aliens". Aliens = Demons as some researchers have basically admitted in so many words...

Psalm 82

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
