RE: must i say why?
What university/universities you been to? I know what you mean. I went to U of L, and transferred to Indiana University Southeast. I wish I would have taken the scholarship offers I had for Tennessee Temple University. I won two scholarships there and was on board for an athletic scholarship (baseball) as well as an academic one.
There's a missed oppurtunity.
What part of Indiana you in?
Remember that Jesus told Christians (myself included) would be persecuted against. Here is another good verse to remember: Romans 12:2"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God"
I saw your other post about an easy bible to read. One that I use, which it took me forever to find after I found someone with it, is called Quest Study Bible (NIV). I absolutely love it. There is all kinds of information in it, and it is very easy to read, and has a Q&A in the margins relating to the scripture. It has a topical index in the back relating to many differents topics,things likegreed, envy, jealousy, patience, anxiety, covetness, etc etc etc. It has the usual dictionary and concordanance as well. It is absoultely loaded with information. I love it. I love it love it love it. All Bibles do the same my brother. Give you the word of God. This just makes it easier for you.
You also may want to go to e-sword.net It is a downloadable program (free) with different translations (a lot of them too, even hebrew, greek, and latin vulgate), with dictionaries and commentaries.
May Jesus lead you down the right paths.
