To all christians do u belive the bible is the true words of god ?

Question

if yes which one cuz as i know there's more than 200 Vir of bibles and they are diffrent
why do they differ from one to another ?

Answer 1

The bible, like all other religious books, are purely and solely the words of men. It is not the word of any god, except for the god that our own brain generates.

Answer 2

The true "word" of god is his divine will. This does not necessarily mean the bible.

The authors of the bible, upon understanding god's will wrote what they felt compelled to preserve for future generations. However, as they were human and mere mortal themselves, they could not perfectly translate god's divine will into such a grossly incompetent language (which english even now is). So, while some truth remains in the script, it is often not read with discretion and through the eyes of the spirit of truth, hence the many different interpretations and misinterpretations.

While I thoroughly believe that the original authors of the bible's texts were divinely inspired, I also understand that:

(a) it was written in a mindset of at least a thousand years ago (and to an audience of the same mindset), when science and medicine were still lumped with magic in "alchemy," and the common belief was that the world was flat. Only a rare few were educated and literate, and even fewer had seen much of the world or other cultures with understanding.

(b) it has been translated numerous times over the centuries, and speaking two languages myself, I understand how things truly can lose a quality of meaning through the translation (i.e. a lot is left in the hands of the interpreters' own understanding of the text).

(c) history (even current events) has shown that those in power will do what they can to remain in power, even using religion to their advantage. I do not believe that the bible made it through the centuries in the hands of those in power (who were also, coincidently, the educated scribes who translated it) without being modified and/or interpreted to their advantage.

(d) none of it is "first hand" from god. None of it is even "first hand" from christ himself. Neither was any of it even written during christ's lifetime. I'm only 22, but I still know how memories fade over the years, sometimes blending so with our dreams, hopes, and fears that we often cannot tell them apart. If I tried to write down the events of the most crucial part of my life so far, my high school and college days (all well within the last ten years), I would find they'd be a little fuzzy and inaccurate.

(e) and most importantly - No matter what the good intentions of the author, or where the source, it should never replace our own internal relationship with god as our guidance and light. Experiencing god is a very personal thing tailored for each and every one of us.

We all have the light inside of us, so be confident in yourself! God has made each of us perfectly fit to seek him, and understand him! He has given us all a very piece of his own magnificent and truly original personality to live within us, to guide us. This is god's true "word," his divine and inerrant "will."

Answer 3

Sure do. And just because there are different versions, I believe in any that are true translations of the source documents. Generally these are KJV, NKJV, NASB, and NIV. There are others, but these are the best. I don't agree with those who have misinterpreted/added to the Bible such as the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Here is a good site which describes the issue quite well.

Answer 4

The Bible as we have it is a collection that came from early writings and collected. As given to the original writers, it was the true word of God. Through translation, some minor words and thoughts may have been changed. I have probably 20 translations-paraphrases. They mostly say the same thing.
Be careful of things as satanic bible or "other holy books" that are wrong.

Answer 5

2Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I believe that scripture is the inerrant word of God. The alternative is to have human authority as the criterion and that will vary from person to person.
As to version, there are slight differences but the fundamentals are all the same - unless it is a deliberately apostate version having the intention to mislead. If you stick to the main ones (KJV, RSV, NIV) you will find no basic difference.

Answer 6

There is no doctrinal difference in any version of the Bible. The words may be different, but the theology is the same. The JW bible and book of Mormon are not Bibles. There is not 200 versions either.

Answer 7

The Bible is the true word of God. There are many versions, but they all say the same thing, just in a different format. Choose the one that is the easiest for you to understand. For me that is American Standard.

Answer 8

My KJV Bible is the True word of God. It was written by men that was inspired by God. It is the truth from the beginning to the end. There are no lost books in this Bible. It comes complete. Many other Bibles were rewritten to please man, Not God.

Answer 9

Absolutely the Inspired Word of God. People interpret differently, if you check they all line up pretty good. Read a book by Lee Strobel called The Case for Christ. It will help you out on this aspect.

Answer 10

No not all Christians believe in the Bible. Some just believe in God and such. Others do believe in the Bible and usually it is the one the church provides, some don't even care as long as what they are reading has God and etc in it.
