Are they trying to clear up the errors in the previous testaments and put them in the last Bible edition?

Sorry, my question should have read... Why does the Bible come out in new testaments?

The two testaments is a view of Christians. The Jews view their holy writ as the only one which is canon - while the Christians view both the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" as scripture. Rather, Christianity implies that the New Testament completes the prophecies of the Old Testament, while the Jews view that the prophecies in the Old Testament are still unfulfilled, and therefore await fulfillment. The Jews view both the Torah and the Talmud as authoritave texts, while Christians disregard the Talmud as uncanonical.

No. It is not a new edition of the old. It's not like mac 1.5 then 1.6. The first half of the Bible is known as the Old Testament. There are approximately 400 hundred years between the end of the Old Testament and the coming of Jesus, which is the beginning of the New Testament. Overall, it looks more like a linear history book for the most part. And no, there are no errors that the Christian Church is trying to clear up. And for the note, mormonism, and jehovah's witnesses are cults and not a part of the Christian Church.

Who are 'THEY'? Jesus was the fulfillment of the Law, and therefore of the Old Covenant. So now that man had had the privilege and revelation of having God made manifest in the flesh to dwell among them, Jesus (God) could now make a new covenant with them. Not one that threw out the Old, but that was, in a way, a matter of expounding on the Old Covenant in light of the Messiah having come. For God to have given all of the New Testament before the coming of the Messiah would have made no sense to the Jews, since the Messiah had not yet come. Now that He had come, God could reveal the entirety of His covenant to the Jews - it was at this point also, as it happened under the Old Covenant, that the Jews could choose to believe God's Word or not to believe. And by the way, all of the books in the Old Testament were written under divine inspiration of God by Jews. All of the books in the New Testament were also written under divine inspiration of God by Jews.The writers of the New Testament were the readers of the Old. Same people. Same LORD God. Same covenant.

The New Testament is the New Covenant, it in no way gets rid of the Old Testament tho. There are no errors in the Old Testament. God found a better way to give us the gift of salvation and eternal life and that was thru Jesus Christ, He is the New Covenant

Do you mean versions? There is only one Old Testament and one New Testament. I think you mean versions.

New versions come out in order to increase the understanding of the Word of God in contemporary society. Although, I personally think that many versions are going away from the original, intended meaning.

there are 2 testaments old and new. The latter is about jesus christ while the former is about life before him ie noah, abraham and all the prophets. But more and more scriptures are discovered, like the recent ones of judas, and if verified and accepted then new versions come out. But they are only minor changes to the original.

really simple. they hate the jews. so they added some stuff to make their religion stand out and not look like some sort of copy (even though it is). they just dont like the fact that god plays favorites so the stand out and hide their jealousy. but still god loves his jews and every one knows they will end up better than the rest of us.
