seems you ask 3 questions. Let me answer the first (for 2 points): Some, but not all bibles (religions) contain the old testament and new testament. Some religions go by the old testament, some by the new testament, and some use both.

All seem to be recounts a long time after things happened, and are written by different peoples' accounts and in languages that had to be translated, so all are not the exact wording, so you have to be open minded when reading them. The basics such as the prayers, the commandments, the beatitudes, etc. are what comes from the bible and are better things to remember, I think, and better things to live by.

Scripture is the Law, Prophets and Writings (aka Tanach). Some call this the OT. Before you xitians get your panties in a wad, these are the only books that your savior considered holy scripture also.

RickZ, 2 Tim 3:16 was written before a NT was even thought of. Therefore, the author is referring to the OT.

The NT develop into written in Greek, the language of the Roman Empire. there is a few hypothesis that Matthew would have had an Aramaic unique. The OT develop into written in Hebrew. The Septuagint isn't a language - that's a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version

With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company

IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.

Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.

The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.

The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.

The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.

One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.

The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.

Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.

Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

The Bible is incomplete. Only Nature is complete. Every thing man does with incomplete understanding is incomplete. Many books of the Bible have been deleted and ignored because they gave too much understanding away, and weakened the central power of the Church.

To argue the matter indefinitely would be the waste of a lifetime.

Language is incomplete... end of argument. Study Nature to find God.

It is true that Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.

Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship.

However Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.

Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments:
+ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
+ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

And teaching things like
+ Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
+ Everyone is our neighbor including our enemies.

Therefore we have to go much farther than the original recipients of the Law ever dreamed.

But this does not mean that the Jewish Scriptures (Old Testament) have no meaning in today's world.

The Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value, for the Old Covenant has never been revoked.

The Old Testament prepares for and declares in prophecy the coming of Christ, redeemer of all men.

The books of the Old Testament bear witness to the history of the preparation of God's saving love.

These writings "are a storehouse of sublime teaching on God and of sound wisdom on human life, as well as a wonderful treasury of prayers; in them, too, the mystery of our salvation is present in a hidden way."

Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of God.

The Church has always vigorously opposed the idea of rejecting the Old Testament under the pretext that the New has rendered it void (Marcionism).

With love in Christ.

It contains the OT and the NT... as one compendium.

All this documents constitutes the "inspired" scriptures that were mentioned in 2 timothy 3:16
