As true believers we ought to read the Bible through constantly. Read
and study it until we go to meet the Lord in person.

HOW MANY HERE ON TOL HAVE READ THE ENTIRE BIBLE COVER TO COVER?

It takes discipline and focus to read and study as much as we can.

and my favorite is a leather bound version printed in 1853, given to my great great grandfather at his christening, by his grandfather who was a Mennonite minister
online I use biblegateway, kjv
After all, it's God's Holy written word to the world.
That's okay. As long as we pick it up and continue, as we can.
The Bible is the only Holy Spirit inspired book that we have.
For those who haven't read the Bible in its entirety, why not make it
a "to do" for the new year?

I have read it in its entirety. I have used several translations. I bring a pocket NASB with me to church. Mostly I use the NIV study Bible, starting with 1984 and the current 2011. Though I will reference other translations and the original languages when needed as no translation gets all the exact meanings of some of the original words.

I have a generally low opinion of any translation based upon an eclectic textual tradition no matter what the translation philosophy being used (dynamic, literal, contextual, etc.).
For me, worship means hearing the word of God, so rather than stand in judgment of what the word of God actually is, I bind my conscience and submit to the translation of the ancient texts that were received by the church militant of my faith, that is, the TR for the NT and the Ben Chayyim, also called the "Bomberg Text" for the OT.
As for the NIV, Mr. Marlowe captures my concerns (and probably yours) nicely here:
"It is a very useful version for teaching novices, as a first exposure to the biblical text; but it is not to be relied upon for detailed study."

Ever have something edifying to say?
You are hanging in there real good Nanja. Keep going. You took the words right out of John Calvin's mouth. Just like I know you meant to.
Calvin also said it is time wasting to try and prove the bible to non believers. It is the Holy Spirit that makes belief in the scriptures possible. Not our arguments.

The Truth of God's Word is only edifying unto the Salvation of the soul for one whom Christ died.

Oh, now I understand why you can't say anything edifying.
Can't really blame 'em.
