Well, there's The Bible and then there's books that claim to be part of or actually be the real "bible." Remember there's only one true book. I can tell you that the Bible used by Protestant Christianity(not catholic, not mormon, not Jehovah's witnesses, not deist etc.) is the true word of God. However, that's my choice because I've researched everyone of them and have found this one as the one Truth. All of the others have contradictions either spiritually or historically. I've made my choice, but I can't tell you which one to choose because it's your duty to seek out the truth. But if you want a direct answer, choose the ones used by Protestant Christianities. I consider it to be my Truth.

"all have their own bible that differe from others."
Incorrect.
There are two main Biblical sources for the Old Testament: The Masoretic text and the Septuagint. That difference is the difference between Catholic and Protestant Bibles.
The rest is merely a question of translation.

All of the bibles have a grain of truth, but remember this, bibles were written by men. God is forgiving, therefor, if we feel guilt then we are forgiven. Why does the bible say if we sin we are sent to hell? Most parts of the bible are opinions of the men who wrote them, others are facts. Man was given many messages from God, and all are true. We just have to sort God's messages from everyone elses.
Homosexuality, for example, do people really believe that God would send people to hell for loving another person? That is my opinion, how I interpret God.
Other people have other opinions. The people who wrote the bible wrote not only God's message, but also their own opinions.
I guess they are all the real word from God. You just have to pick one. I hope that helped even a little bit. ^_^

If you are asking a real question, the most correctly translated Bible is suppose to be the Revised Standard Version. All versions have some words that are difficult to be translated into English.

Read the king james vesion along with the new international version. Mormons deny jesus and they add to the bible. god said do not add a word to the bible. But mormans made up there own story to lead you astray. talking about other parts of earth where jesus visited. You need to know that jesus died for the whole world. The New and old testiment together the bible. the old testiment talks about the begin of creation and how we got separated from god and how we had to sacrifice lambs etc to forgive our sins. The new testiment talks about God and how he sent his son as the final sacrifice for our sins and if we beleive in him we shall have evalasting life. Read for your self

All the Holy Books before 19 century were not written directly by the hands of the Prophets and they have been altered by men and by nature. However, their main contents are still of greatest values, no other books written by men can be compared to them. They are the foundation of morality and civilization on earth.
Baha'u'llah, the Messenger of God for our time, has revealed the Holy Books by Himself and all of them are kept originally at the Baha'i World Center. Many Holy Books of Baha'u'llah are now available at the Gutenberg Project. You can start learning true religion from God by reading the Book of Certitude, in which He explains about the Progressive Revelation, the real connection of all the Messengers of God throughout history.

You can probably discard the "Book of Mormon". Besides contradicting the bible it supposedly supports it is filled with glaring contradictions within itself, not to mention where it contradicts the bible.
The vast majority of "religions" generally stick to acknowledged versions of scripture, such as NIV, NAS, KJV...and such. Catholics are pretty much the only ones that still use writings that the majority of scholars throughout the world have rejected for a wide variety of reasons.
I believe if you stick to the ones I mentioned you will find your way through. Its not rocket science, afterall, and God does want what He said easily understood...to a certian point.
Interpretation is a whole nuther ball game, and not one that can be easily answered or studied in a medium like this.

The Bible, the Koran, the Tora... are assembled from the works of many different people and oral histories over a long period of time dating back many thousands of years.
That's not to say these people weren't inspired by a supreme being, as many people claim. It's just that its -not- true that a supreme being actually penned the text his- or her-self.
Keep this in mind when you read such books and you'll win major points with your deity when you finally go to see them.
