Which Bible do you believe in this?

Question

". . . and they sat him thereon." (The Donkey) (Matt. 21:7)
". . . and he sat upon him." (The Donkey) (Mark 11:7)
". . . and they set Jesus Thereon." (The Donkey) (Luke 19:35)
". . . Jesus ... sat thereon:" (The Donkey) (John 12:14)

Four Bibles all differ on this verse, one says he sat, another they, and yet another says they sat Jesus, and last one says Jesus himself sat. So if Bible is God's word why god differs in his books? (god with small letter because these books are man's words not God's. Real bibles were long gone).

In contrast, if you look the Quran it never changed from during the time of the Prophet Muhammad until present. Not even a letter! Because God says in Quran: "“It is We who have sent down the reminder and We will preserve it “(Quran 15:9).

It's about translation?? How about this http://www.jamaat.net/bible/AwakeArticle(1957).html

There are 50,000 such errors in the Bible, this not about translation.

Answer 1

Ok so you took this moment to point the finger and tell all Christians that they are just as flawed as their writings. You asked which version people believed in. Problem is people don't believe in the book itself but the God who is spoken through the works.

You are correct in saying that there are flaws in each version. But the world changed and politics changed much of the works. The ancient Greek language was no longer the tongue spoken by the world. Those who wanted to know the past had to translate much of the works.

Now you say that the prophet Muhammad had said that not a letter should change in the Quran because it must be preserved and that's a good thing. Christians have undergone persecution through history where nearly all knowledge was lost. Books burned and destroyed.

Be glad that you have your heritage in tact. If you are to do anything about history of the future then don't point the finger. Be one of those who would try to find a way to heal the mistakes of the past.

Answer 2

I don't believe that this is much of a difference... The Bible is a collection of the testimonies of several different individuals. All of them looking toward Jesus from their own perspectives. Mathew teaches of Jesus' Kingship. John speaks of His Love of man. Each has it's purpose and yet they don't clash they mesh.. If one man would have written the whole thing like Joesph Smith did the Book of Mormon or Mohammad did the Qumran then we would expect it to all sound the same. As far as changes go When you compare Grans it becomes obvious that they are not all identical. There are three main types of differences between some.

1. Graphical/Basic letter differences
2. Diacritical differences
3. Vowel differences

The Quran according to the Warsh transmission

Let us now look at examples of these differences. The following examples are from the same word in the same verse, however, you will notice that on some occasions the verse number differs between the two Qurans. This is because the two Qurans number their verses differently. Thus surah 2:132 in the Hafs Quran is the same verse as surah 2:131 in the Warsh Quran.

GRAPHICAL/BASIC LETTER DIFFERENCES - There are differences between the basic printed letters of these two Qurans. It was these letters that Uthman standardized in his recension of the Quran [1].
THE QURAN ACCORDING TO THE TRANSMISSION OF IMAM HAFS THE QURAN ACCORDING TO THE TRANSMISSION OF IMAM WARSH

surah 2:132 (wawassaa)
surah 2:131 (wa'awsaa)

surah 91:15 (wa laa yakhaafu)
surah 91:15 (fa laa yakhaafu)

surah 2:132 (himu)
surah 2:131 (hiimu)

surah 3:133 (wasaari'uu)
surah 3:133 (saari'uu)

surah 5:54 (yartadda)
surah 5:56 (yartadid)

The above examples show that there are differences between the basic letters of these two Qurans.

Answer 3

Technically those are four books within the Bible, not Bibles themselves. The Bible wasn't written by God, but God inspired. In the Old Testament, I know Moses wrote the first five books. Then in the New Testament the gospels are four different accounts of Jesus Christ's life and ministry. It's called style variations and memories differ. If I'm not mistaken, Paul wrote a good amount of the rest of the New Testament. However, you are quibbling with semantics. Also, you are not going to change a committed Christians mind that way or probably ever. I respect your right to believe what and how you want to believe. You need to give others the same courtesy.

Answer 4

Because the Bible has been written in many different dialects and is translated differently by different people. All four of those verses say the same thing but in a different way. Its not the order of the words that matter but the message that is delivered in the words.

Answer 5

It's called perspective, if you will notice those are four different Gospels by four different authors. Every individual human will see things differently and Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote them from what they personally witnessed. As for the Quran, How is Mohammed going to create a religion of peace and then earn HIS first converts by attacking a village?

Answer 6

ATK, it isn't the Bible that is different. The Gospel Writers each wrote their book, about Jesus from the way the saw things, or as in Luke's case, his Gospel was written by interviewing witnesses to Jesus' miracles, and those that were close to Jesus all throughout his ministry, including his own family members.

Answer 7

I really can't see a problem with what you say! Picture it! The disciples bring back the donkey, and help Him on it which could be seen as them seating Him, and He sat on it Himself. The Greek may convey both ideas, it is a different language.

Answer 8

Hello ATK,

Upon reading my QUR'AN, page 509; chapter 15, verse 9: I find the words... "Surely We have revealed the Reminder, and surely We are its Guardian."
So, my friend; this 'good book' suffers from the same trouble as other 'good books'.
It is simply a matter of translation. The original printing of my copy was 1917, and the most recent was 1998.
Have faith my friend.

Answer 9

There is no single error in the bible cause its the word of God and he IS ABLE TO keep his words away from damage.

About the four bibles... avtually they are all one but each one talks to diffrent culture, so when i talk to Jews not as talking to you & diffrent than talking to a christian! They ALL carry the same meaning.

I will tell you an advice, before sleeping today close your eyes and ask God to tell you whom he is! and he will

Answer 10

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
