I Support New Living Translation (NLT)

NLT is so much clearer compared to NIV. I've always thought NIV was good until Isaiah posted some verses using NLT version. Let me show you an example between NIV and NLT.

Proverbs 5:16 (NIV)
Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?

What does it mean? I'm not too sure either, and NLT comes to the rescue by giving us a clearer explanation of the verse.

Proverbs 5:16 (NLT)
Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having sex with just anyone?

Oh, so it actually telling us not to have sex with just anyone. See the difference between NIV and NLT now? Strongly recommended by Isaiah and me to get the NLT. And, I've been reading "End Times" article on a website which lead me to find this article that Christians should not have piercings on their body.

Isaiah, this website also have some articles about End Times. Is it true about the Antichrist and stuffs? One of the articles was saying that he might be gay because a verse from Daniel says...

Then the king shall do according to his own will; he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above them all. (Daniel 11:36-37)

he has no desires for women. What do you think?
