There are several versions of the Bible-which is the real one?

Question

As a Catholic, I was taught that it's the Vatican's duty to preserve for all time the teachings of Christ, and all the paperwork etc. that has existed from Christ's birth/death forward and to keep that preserved and sacred, thus going from Pope to Pope. As such, the true bible is the bible used by the Catholic Churches. All others were re-written by priests who left the Catholic church and started thier own. That is where all other religions stem from (i.e. Baptist, Protestant, etc. etc.) We are living with the PROOF today that churches are being re-created by their ministers (ie. gay churches etc.) so why fool yourselves into believing everything you read when it comes to re-written versions of the bible? For example, King James re-wrote the bible...King James Version...duh!! How do you know that what you read there is really what God conveyed to the disciples to write? God did NOT write the bible, neither did Jesus, the disciples (followers) wrote what Jesus told them to.

Answer 1

It's called the Torah, and it's the first five books of the bible as they were handed down by Moses to record the beginnings of the Jewis people. After that, it just more a matter of personal interpretation, because the hebrew language has such a complex system of concept relation, being written to speak in an individual language for each person reading it. It always says the same thing, ultimately in concept, but the symbols and relation points will differ for each seeker. That makes it easier for each of us to have an intimate, personal relationship with "god" or whatever name you put to the consciousness that is living out every possible reality as every possible phenomenon, which our human minds interpret as our reality. As far as the New Testament, there is no way to know what is what, since the Roman Catholic church basically got to decide for humanity what was "divinely inspired" and what was not, so there are vast libraries of books which were never canonized into the bible, because some flawed human intelligence decided that it didn't fit into their idea of what message the bible is trying to convey. My answer (it works for me, I can't say if it will work for you), has been to look into every possible path and look for the places where they agree. This will give you a good idea of the foundation of what religion was supposed to be about, and give you a good starting place to build your own faith in what you believe.

Answer 2

THE BIBLE THAT TEACHES TRUTH. GOSPEL. In Mark thirteen Jesus is with His disciples, speakme approximately the top occasions. In verse 10 it states “And the gospel ought to be first preached to all countries”, is that this regarding the time earlier than Christ comes on the Rapture, or is it regarding the time whilst Christ comes on the finish of the Tribulation? As I learn Mark thirteen, verses eleven -37 look to denote this might be for the period of the tribulation interval. We continuously been taught that the entire indicators don't must be fulfilled earlier than the Rapture. If there were not one signal we will be able to nonetheless cross to be with Jesus for the reason that the entire indicators would be fulfilled for the period of the seven years and for the period of that interval of time we've got a hundred and forty four,000 flaming evangelists, recounted in Revelation 7:four-eight and they're preaching Matthew 24:14 the Gospel of the Kingdom, Gospel way Good News and it’s the Gospel that the King is coming and those messengers are circulating each and every facet of the globe. Every character on the planet will pay attention it. It does not must occur now. It would occur once we’re long gone for the period of the ones seven years. So, compliment the Lord and He's coming quickly and we've got began this Gospel of the Kingdom message . Amen! Find a Bible that preaches this, and you will have the proper one. KJV. Have a best week. .

Answer 3

It sounds like you have not taken the time to read the different versions available. The message of the Bible is so clear that even the most divergent ones cannot hide its message. The sects did not come from versions of the Bible, but some of the sects created some of the versions. I cannot think of anywhere where Jesus told the apostles to write, but the Bible does say that God inspired it. Comparing the versions helps to give a fuller understand of what the original Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic was saying.

Answer 4

There are more fake than real. But this should not interrupt your faith. Weather old or new,, most of them, cathoclic, protestant, Baptists. etc., basically teaches the teaching of Christ and the old and new testament. Dont worry about the churches or the religion.. they will not help you. The bible before the 1960 are for me readable and reliable. But it does not matter. Your faith will make the difference. I was born a Catholic,,, I will remain thus untill the end... so be it...protect it, defend it. believe in it.. but it is not your salvation..Only Christ, GOD and of course as a Catholic.. Mama Mary..as the mother of GOD will always be our way and bridge to Christ and to GOD the Father.

Answer 5

Even if Christ recorded the Words of God by His own hands, mankind would fail to keep the Bible completely authentic through such a long period of two thousand years. But the Bible was recognized as true because the Words of Christ have beautifully affected mankind and raised them to a very high station as spiritual beings reflecting all the qualities of God such as trustworthiness, mercy, forgiveness, sacrifice, modesty, courtesy, sincerity, purity, patience... No other books can provide such a noble education.
In our time now, Baha'u'llah directly revealed the Words of God, and the manuscripts are kept at the Baha'i World Center, it is still not easy to convince mankind to turn to those Books for divine guidance. But, as the Creator of mankind, God knows why they are like that, how to bring them back to the spiritual folk and teach them how to live the life as His noble children.

Answer 6

There was no original Bible. It is a collection of ancient myths, stories, history and letters that were compiled by various figures over time. The Catholic Church was the result of the Nicene Creed in 325 A.D., well after the time of Christ. Catholicism was a hybridization of Paganism, Judaism and the opposing sects that comprised early Christianity.

Answer 7

If you know the bible well, there is only one bible. The different versions are just slight variations due to translation differences. The meaning is still the same, but it's only made easier to understand by people of different regions. The bible is inspired by god. There are ancient scrolls found which says exactly the same thing as the bible does today. Alterations of the bible is done by people who have strayed form god to suit their own evil purposes. They will be punished severely by god. These things signify the 2nd coming of Christ as written in revelations.

Answer 8

The first problem is that we really do not know if Jesus have existed or not. It could be a fiction made by Salus also later on called Paulus together with Lucas. Many of the words by Jesus could be found in the Greek philosophers writing. Paulus was a very well educated man, who might just one of all those who wanted to reform the Judaism and as you know very successful.

Answer 9

the bible is writen by human who wanted to have a hand of the human destiny. gos (if he exists...) never wrote the bible.
in some version of the bible, Jesus had a brother and May wasn't a virgen.... So anybody can write the version of the bible he wants if it suited his purposes....

my grand-mother was raised as a catholic, but no she don't beleive in all those lies anymore. She still believess in god, in the god she likes, but she's not catholic anymore.

Answer 10

I use mainly the NAB (New American Bible) which is the Official Catholic Bible but another is the Ignatius Bible and the Jerusalam Bible (Publ 1966 without all the inclusive language). All three are adherent to the true message.
