Question

WHY ARE THERE MANY TYPES OF BIBLES OUT THERE?
BUT YET
















HERE IS ONLY ONE QUR'AN
EXPLAIN

meaning i know they are translated ones into different languages like the quran but meaning why are there so many altered versions of the bible

Answer 1

Hi...
According to me that nowdays the Bible is no longer pure. The men is translate it and add some spesific part for their own puprposed. Just compare the old and the new testament.

In the old one, it said that there is will be the latest massanger of God that born in the arabic jazeerah from the Quraish. But, why do the christian avoid it ???

The Rome capitally change the part of the bibble contained for their own purpose. They avoid the Mohammed appearence and said tha he is the son of satan. But actually they are lie to them-self.

And it is different with The Al-Qur`an. From the beginning we have found the word that said 'This is the Al-Quran, and there is no doubt in it.' Why there is no doubt for Qur`an ??? Because Allah SWT defend it by HIM self. NO one can change the contain even a little. If u find the different between each Qur`an , u may kill me. So that is why Quran is the same all over the world.

But is all depend to whom read this answer, u want to believe in it or not.
Allah, see, I have told the truth to them.

Answer 2

You are not actually correct. The earliest biblical manuscripts basically have but one version. This version coincides with other later written manuscripts. It is then accepted as the actual version. Thy can be translated into multiple languages different ways,

===> just like the Qur'an.

Ah, well our understanding of the history and language of ancient times makes some translations better than other. It makes the bible more and more easy to understand (in english say) in historical context and lessens the need for a commentary. The Qur'an suffers from the same thing. I just answered a question on Qur'an 5:51, which on the surface insinuates that a Muslim cannot be protected by christians and jews. However, using a commentary and putting it in historical context, you can see that the situation was much different (5:42-50) when the Qur'an was written, although, I should point out, there is still value, in viewing other people customs with skepticism.

Here is a commentary link:
http://www.al-islam1.org/quran/

The site is somewhat hard to navigate. The use of the commentary allows Muslims to defent the peaceful nature of their faith.

Other translations have been made either purposefully to decieve (since around the 4th century), or out of ignorance.

Because English is a beautiful, complex language which was not the original language the Bible was written in. In history, there have been varying degrees of translation ability, but then also, the different translations try to accomplish certain things.
For example, the New Living Bible freely paraphrases to try to bring out the original intended meaning.
The King James Version and New King James Version try to be excrutiatingly literal.
The New International Version tries to be literal but with updated language that can be clearly understood.
The Amplified Bible gives extra words to fill in the gaps left by discrepancies and shades of meaning lost in translation.
There are many different versions for kids, usually picking out specific stories instead of actual text....these really cannot be considered translations of the Bible, but instead they are called books of Bible Stories. A few translations exist for children.
Some want the children to read the King James Version for it's literal translation even though the language is from the early 1600's and difficult to understand.
There is a New International Version for kids that attempts to be literal but with the updated language of the adult version but uses simple terminology.

Then there are different Bibles for different uses, such as devotional Bibles and study Bibles, which have the text, but also have passages clearly marked seperately to provoke thought and study.

They are all Bibles and most Christians freely use any version at any time without feeling like they are reading different books.
I usually like the Amplified Bible. I used to use the New King James Version for its literal translation and then I would read the same verses in the New Living Translation to see what was thought to be the spirit of the word in updated, descriptive language.

Does this answer your question?

Answer 4

Though neither a Christian or Muslim, I guess it is because there have been many translations of the same text AND there were many gospels in the Bible which was written after the death of Jesus. Some gospels were deemed legitimate and others not. Picked and chosen for human interest. Unfortunately, Jesus did not write his own gospel and if God had thought about it he would have had Jesus spend that 40 days in the wilderness writing a new religious text book.
The Qur'an was written by a single person before the Muslim religion existed and the Qur'an became the religious text of the Muslims.

Answer 5

There is only one Christian Bible, but there are different translations of it. As the English language changes (through the years), updated translations use the latest English words and idiomatic phrases.

Similarly there are multiple translations of the Quran.

Answer 6

Because WE DON'T KILL PEOPLE for translating the Bible.

Also, some are "modern language versions," some are poorly translated like the Kings James Version. Others have concise Concordances to locate like scriptures, there are Study Bibles, etc.

Answer 7

There is only ONE Bible, but, many translations.

Answer 8

Well there are many version of many fairy tales. So you should just go buy a non fiction book to the left of the bibles and become educated. Education is more powerful than absolute buy into a fairy tale....
