I'm just curious as to how many posters on TOL have
read the entire Bible word for word, name for name,
and cover to cover?

There's a myriad of posters here that act like Bible
scholars however, will they admit to reading God's
written word in its entirety? I mean from cover to
cover.

My favorite version of God's written word is, The New King James Version.
However, I still place my trust in the original King James Version.
When I was younger, I read from the New American Standard Version.

Three times from front to back. Many times passages to passages. However, not all of those times were read with understanding and the Holy Spirit being the guide.

I have.

Besides with my congregation (we read it together every week and when we finish Revelation we start over again), I read it by myself during the year of October 2013-October 2014. Every word.

Have you read the entire Bible and if so, what is your favorite Version?

I have many versions in my library. I love the KJV, as that was what I grew up with, and much of the language will remain dear to me.

However, any version that has taken the name of the Author out is not a very accurate version, in my opinion. God's name is found in the KJV in a few places---Psalm 83:18 is one---but that name (YHWH) is supposed to be in the Tanakh 7,000 times! Why just four times? The Jews leave the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) in their scrolls, but just don't pronounce it. Sadly, most modern versions in English do not honor that name and leave it out entirely. Is it fair to delete the name of the God who authored (or inspired) the Bible?

Because of that, and other reasons, I think the New World Translation is excellent, and so do scholars like Dr. Jason BeDuhn. Next to that, I like the New American Standard Bible, which I quote frequently, and even the old American Standard Bible, because it includes God's name. Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible is quite good as well.
