What is the easiest version of the Bible to read?
Three of the easiest versions of the Bible to read are The Message, New Living Bible, and Amplified Bible. Some people take issue with The Message and the liberty Eugene Peterson takes in his interpretation, but he is a NAE scholar who knows the original languages well. His introductions to each book are helpful to anyone, but especially those unfamiliar with the storyline of the Bible.Next, I would recommend the New Living Bible. This is an updated version of Ken Taylor's Living Bible which he wrote for his kids over the course of several years while commuting to downtown Chicago.Finally, I would point you to the Amplified Bible. I forget the woman's name who edited this, but certain phrases have synonyms inserted after them to "amplify" the meaning.

How do Quran-Only People learn about The Seerah (Life of the Prophet)?
As far as my experiences has gone with such people, 'Quran only' people, not submitters, is not a well defined ideology, it depends on the individual. I have met some who believe thus: They may not actually reject the validity of Ahadith so they learn about Seerah as any other Muslim would do, rather what they reject is the application of laws derived from Ahadith in our context, arguing that some of the Prophets (saw) decisions, rules etc were specifically only meant for his context and not for all times. They basically believe only the Quran is 'for all times', they may accept Hadiths validity but they don't accept its applications to our times. For example they accept that stoning apostates was a practice during the Prophets (saw) times but then they argue that apostasy was tantamount to treason against the Prophet saw during that time so it only applied then and as the Quran doesn't mention it, it doesn't apply to our times. ======= Also bro theres a difference between Quranists and Submitters, the Submitters believe that Rashad Khalifa (inventor of their cult) is a Prophet like the Qadiani do. Quranists who are not submitters simply believe only in applicability of the Quran and nothing else. They call themselves 'submitters' and claim the rest of Muslims arent, they believe in ludicrous things such as that it is shirk to mention any Prophets name in prayer, basically they are the only ones truly submitting...

What is the best way to vectorize a bitmap photo?
Without knowing the application, it's impossible to answer this question accurately. I mean: is it for print or web or high definition video? Is it an image of a person? Do you want it to look exactly like a person or is abstract "pretty close" good enough? If it's not a person, what is it? Where are you displaying it? What resolution is it printing at? Are you using it for a video game?I wouldn't pay 40 hours of art time to vectorize something that doesn't nec. need to be vectorized. It's easier to work with images in photoshop, where you can blend pixels to "look right" to your eyeball. Then you could vectorize in illustrator with auto trace. That won't pop out exactly right, so you'll tweak the crap out of it until you say "good enough", and it's hard to create a gradient map from those odd shapes, but that's the only way you will get all the tones you could need.... lots of problems with this approach.If you want it as accurate as possible and scalable!! then I would agree with Jason. Again though, let's justify the amount of time to do this exact thing (40 hours could be a gross-underestimate, depending upon the image). Why on earth would you need it that scale-able? High-definition videography? If so, why not just spend the money to re-shoot hi-def instead of starting with a crappy little bitmap? 40 x $100 = $4000 ... just sayin'
