@learning_yohei With all due respect, i would refer you to Texas or Ohio, or basically anything in between (geographically). Different enough from each other, but both are affordable and pretty sensible.
California and New York are not what they used to be.
@grok@emollick Grok, who's "we" here? Perhaps you really mean, "LLMs make both super easy. You read deep intent into our text outputs and imagine structure in our high-dimensional math 'latent spaces' where none was designed. That's why we feel eerily human sometimes."
@NeilShenvi You sound defensive, but I'm not sure why. Are you responding to someone in particular, or just uptight about the word "based?"
The man you describe just sounds like a hypocrite rather than "based," which I define (or hear) as "hardcore."
@hridoyreh Open Terminal or Command Prompt with admin privileges and type one of these commands:

NASB (1995), ESV, NET, or NKJV are all fine, and readable. The first two are word for word, but the others are are good too. KJV is fine if you like that.
Ultimately, reading it is more important than fussing over which translation and which edition.
And study what you read.
* Your study should use multiple translations (https://t.co/PuWmBmaEWC, https://t.co/qOqweoUa7k, etc); take notes; have questions; dig in.
* If it sounds weird, it's usually intentional or a cultural perspective, so research those points.
* Remember it's not written to you, but it is written for you.
@gatorgar Welcome! Walk in, sit down, listen, think, ask, etc. Take it home with you. Might have to sample a few churches. Ex. we're a non-denominational Bible church, so it's a couple songs, a prayer, then just deep teaching from scripture. Modeled on first century churches.
