"We are using it in our church. BUT, the "one Bible for all" smacks of the legalism of the King James only group."

Our Pastor uses ESV for the most part. I too use several translations, tho currently only have NIV and KJV readily at hand. My KJV ONLY friends attend legalist churches and won't even touch my NIV Bible. One dear friend of mine secretly reads the NKJV at home for study, but wouldn't dare take it to church with her.

real shame. But I must admit my own avoidance of the Living Bible translations.. call me old fashioned! lol

I need to clarify that I do believe the Holy Spirit speaks to us regardless of which man-made book we hold in our hands.
