The point I most want to continue with is the validity of the Bible section, but I'll refrain. An interested party can open one of those, or perhaps I will later. I will close this one with a simple answer to a question you asked.
The Amplified Bible is a version where words from the original language (Greek, in the quote above) are translated in multiple ways to make the meaning of the original word clearer. Usually at least one of them is modernized substantially over the original English King James Version, for example, since some of those words have lost their meaning from the days of Olde English. The printed version is hardly a small volume, though, and while easy to understand it is awkward to read from. As I have been careful to not raise any controversial points in this post and thus extend the discussion, I'm fine with closing it.
