I do not want to tread on any one's thread or job. I want
harmony and peace to prevail.

No, it's fine it wasn't anyone's job. I volunteered Brian
without asking him, hahaha. He pops in a few times a year but
never really posts. Everyone here will welcome you as the Forum
Chaplain.

I am a big fan of some of the religious thinkers. As for modern
authors C.S. Lewis has caught my attention as I can relate to
his journey quite allot.
As I read through about 300-page book of quotes from him, I plan
on posting the ones that strike me as worth all to read.
I also plan on throwing in quotes from some of the giants in
theology as Aquinas, Luther, Spurgeon, and others as I look
through various scribbled notes.

Often forums have more than one Chaplain. So it doesn't hurt to
have more than one.

What version of the Bible do you use every day? What version
would you recommend if asked to make a recommendation?
There are 7000 know languages of those 7000 the Bible has been
translated into 2900 as of 2018.
There are 531 known versions of the Bible published. Of those
531 as of 2018, the NIV is the most sold and the KJV is still in
the top five depending on where you are at. The survey in 2018
shows the KJV as number three overall. An interesting side
note was the Evangelicals tend to use the KJV more than other
major Christian denominations.
KJV is considered still to be the most eloquent translation.
King James had wanted readability and eloquence over truth and
accuracy.
Now to answer my own questions, I used the ESV the most daily.
It was what the seminary I attended used in the main and I am
comfortable with it. If I was buying or gifting someone a
Bible it most likely would be giving them the NIV. The
difference if they are a student entering into a religious study
course it would be the Oxford Bible with notes, commentaries,
and the Apocrypha. This is by far the best Bible for academic
use as it is denomination neutral in the notes.

I was sitting in my doctor’s office and picked up a trade
magazine that was laying around her office. While waiting for
her to show up with test results. Yes, in her actual office and
not an exam room. There was this article about germs and being
human. It got me thinking about religion.
In the article, the quote that hit me as religious applicable
was from Louis Pasteur and a Noble Laureate in medicine
recently: The human body needs to be exposed to germs, virus,
and bacteria at some level for the body to be healthy, As it
was an example in as simple terms as I can understand, for the
immune system to work, it needs to be exposed to bad things so
it can build its immunity to them. The recent Nobel Laureate
explained as your body's immune system is build for war and to
fight always. If it is always supplemented or never fights, the
immune systems are weakened. So, both at different times
recommend, fight out a cold now and then, suffer through the
mild flu. Give your immune system something to fight, something
to live for.
This got me thinking that religion is much the same. It is
built around faith, belief, and salvation. But how do we know
that we are on the right track unless we encounter sin and
despair and other negative life events, temptations? So, does
that mean we need to go out and seek sin, temptations, or the
like, No, it doesn’t. We are exposed to it all the time in
small doses. What I say is it means much like our immune
system, our beliefs are a warrior that needs to resist what is
thrown at us each day to stay strong and build itself up. We
need to feed our warriors through our prayers, or recognition
that we fight temptations every day. We need to celebrate
those wins to help us build up our own immunity to issues of the
world around us. Just my humble opinion and thoughts.

I agree Mark. Being aware of satan's devices and deceptions as
we encounter them daily is very important.
