NO ! They used different kind of Bibles
A lot of adjustments have been done since the Jesus "Isa" was brought up to Heaven by Allah.

The Orthodox, used the oldest one, almost as the original Injil "Bible", later the Roman Empire established 2 new version during Byzantine, Istanbul era in the East & Roman Chatolic, Vatican in the West. Thank to Allah, the Ottomans ceased the Byzantine. Those are the earliest ones..

After that, perhaps, after Reinassance era, the royals especially in England established new sect which is Protestant and Anglican is the sect under the Church of England. Those kings adjust several sections in Bible to help strenghten their monarch and to control the churches power. That's why the feudalisme fade away...

Not long after that, Martin Luther established Lutheranian Christianity and it is widely follows by people in Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. They also got their own Bible with differet interpretation and of course several adjustments have been made. But, Luther is more or less like Orthodox christianity.

The funniest thing is US, they also established several Bibles. Try to think my friend... Is Bible still considered as a Holy Book ? It seems the holyness is being fade away from time to time. Yes, some people will say that, we got same Bibles but with different kind of interpretations... But, did you ever think, which Christian is the right ones ?. Which one is purely from God & from Bible ?..
Try take your time and think wisely...

Impossible to know but as to the languages, I have a pretty good idea. First the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the Dead Sea scrolls indicate that the New Testament was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The next translation, I believe recorded is to Latin. From there it goes to Germany as I have been told. It is printed by Gutenburg and I believe that he printed it in several other languages. The KJV was translated and printed in 1611. and since then has been translated in most every language on the planet. How do I believe that this is possible without many descrepinces creeping in? Well, I serve the Creator of the universe and if He is not capable of keeping His Word free from error then He has no right to judge me for not keeping it. Ofcourse, I do not for one mili-second find Father God and Jesus Christ incapable of anything.

There's only one Bible, but it was written in three ancient languages. For us to understand it, most people today would need it translated into their language. The Bible has been translated into English a good many times by different groups. Some are exact translations, some are "paraphrased" versions, trying to give you the feel of what was said (according to the translator's understanding), but not the precise words.

That's the best answer you can get.

There's only one Bible, but it's been translated many different times and different people and groups have their preference over which translation they use.

No. The only version I trust is the 1611 King James Version. The NIV &the NKJV have all been edited in an "attempt" to make the meaning of scripture clearer. They actually changed the meaning of the scripture in the process.
They might look nice on your bookshelf but all they are good for is collecting dust !

Not exactly. Not to mention most Christians are not very Christ like if you ask me. They study Christianity, sure. But Christian shows desire to be and act Christ like. Personally, I have no recollection of Christ ever saying kill that person to protect me and my family. Nor have I heard of him saying jail him or her to protect me or my family. Most seem to cry over a man who was killed on a cross 2000 years ago and neglect the fact that the man was disgusted that man killed man deliberately. So the follow up is who cares what version of the Bible they use if they cannot demonstrate a simple truth that is clearly obvious without reading any of them and simply relying on what is force fed into the collective consciousness by the "Christians." To add to that, even the Qur-an shows great respect to Jesus and many other Biblical heroes, what written and collected later and believes it contains the divine truths yet the stories in both books are beautiful and relatively universal in message. For that matter Dr Suess and other fabels contain the same truths presented in different stories with different characters. The "heroes" in all religion must hate death in the name of their "honor" for it clearly defiles what the heroes were all about.

Both the Bible and Qur-an make it clear that the past only hurts the future when it is brought into the present. Essentially, punishing crime perpetuates the cycle and condemns forgiveness and redemption. That is the eye for eye, tooth for tooth truth of the Old Testament Christ was known for saying to throw out yet 2000 years later it is still practiced with great inpunity. So what Bible is used by who is irrelevant, for the messages seem to be missed by virtually all of those who study. For even the Devil God created and loved and represents, at least with sound logic for arguments sake, mankind embracing the notion of hating another man for any reason as justifiable when God created that other man in the first place. Or fearing a substance or plant is also akin to calling God wrong. Right? I just throw thoughts out there knowing a fool can sometimes be correct by accident.

The Roman Catholics have their own. It is basically the same as the one Protestants use, but it contains books not included in the protestant sects. Do a search on the words "canon of scripture", and you can see the differences.

Also, there are many different translations into English. Although basically the same, there are real differences between them.

No, there are several different translations (New International Version, King James Version, etc.), all with the same basic message but worded differently, thus subjecting Christian doctrine to differing interpretations.

The Bible is one for all, but every person or group of persons interpret It in different ways. For example in my country (Moldova) exist a lot of religion denominations that have their own way of beliving, a different place were they go to prayer, but they use the same Bible with another interpretation. God is one for all, only we choose in what way we belive in him...

All Christians pretty much use the same bible, but that doesn't mean that they all feel the same way.
The Bible is the word of god, but it was written by a human hand.

all are translated from the same ancient manuscripts. There are several different translations from king james' to aramaic. Some groups with ulterior motife, like the catholic and mormon, have added inappropriate sctipts or passages or even whole books, like the book of mormon (given to john smith by a demon named maronii),, or the qaran (given to mohamad from a demon who called himself allah(aka; abaddon)). You have to be careful to discern that the basic concept is not violated, that is; Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, given for remission of sins, risen to be advocate of our salvation, He is The only begotten son of God, and 1/3 of the tri-un Godhead-- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
