Thompson or Scofield?

[Scott Hutchinson]

I'm not saying on that everything on that site is correct but Scofield's motives are questionable.

There is a book called The Incredible Scofield,that I haven't read personally but proably need to.

The reason I'm considering either a Thompson or Scofield is because I've had both of them in the past and they have some marginal room to add notes, comments, etc.

I have quite a few
versions of the Bible. Some of these are Old or New
Testament only. Some are included with others in
volumes like The Contemporary Study Bible (4 versions) and The
Layman’s Parallel New Testament (8 versions). I have all of the following:

1 1599 Geneva Bible
2 King James Version, of course, but I also have a
1611 version in that older style of English than the
current KJV and it even includes the Apocrypha

1609
4 Septuagint, OT only, from 1851
5 The Bible, A New Translation by James Moffatt 1922

Ever see the Analytical Literal Translation? It is from the Textus Receptus and is the TR's version of the Amplified Bible.

No, I'm not familiar with that one.

uh oh, here's Acts 2:37-41 from that translation:
37Now having heard, they were pierced through to the heart [fig., were greatly distressed], and they said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “What will we do, men, brothers?” 38Then Peter was saying to them, “Repent, and let each of you* be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, to [or, for; or, because of] [the] forgiveness of sins, and you* will receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is to you* and to your* children and to all the [ones] far off, as many as [the] Lord our God shall call to Himself.” 40And with many other words he was urgently warning and urging [them], saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!” 41So then, the ones having gladly received his word were baptized, and about three thousand souls were added on that day!

I looked carefully at both bibles, I chose the Thompson for two reasons. it has a good chain reference. and it does not have some guys own version of meanings of certain verses. I like the chain reference to help in locating like passages. but I will look to the Lord for His meanings.
Peace be unto you brethern
