On Biblegateway.com there are 69 translations of the Holy Bible.
They do not include the JW version of the Bible.
Mormons I know read the King James Version of the Bible, however the Mormon writings take precidence if they conflict with it.
Roman Catholics read the King Jaes Version of the Bible, however the edicts of the Pope and other Papal writings take precidence if they conflict with it.
Mary Baker Eddy made up her own version of the Bible.
There are others as well.

Since the Bible is the number one selling Book in print just about ever publishing company in the world prints one translation or another.There are two translation out in modern English that had great scholarship the NIV and the NAS. I prefer the NAS because it is a word for word translation while the NIV is a thought for thought. I would rather get the words and do my own thinking... Jim

Zondervan is one of the leading publishers of Bibles and Concordances in the NIV. New International Version. They have strove to be accurate from the original Greek (the most common language of that time period and the original language the first church of Christan's used)

There are no "different Bibles"
but there is one and onle Bible and that is being translated to several languages, since it is mostly read by majority of people in English language this language has several tranlated verstion, each version doesn't differ from the original but try to give them the meaning which can be understandable to the readers.
same verse from the bible can be more clear and understandable if you reffer from many versions.

There have been many attempts to water down the teachings of Jesus. This was the reason the emperor Constantine caused the bible to be put together. His goal was to change the message of Jesus to something that the roman empire could manipulate to work in there favor.
It has worked out just the way that they intended.

way too many. i have heard that it is in the hundreds. everyone wants their Bible to make the best sellers list because it's big money. i am trying to learn ancient Hebrew so that i can the original Bible the way it was meant to be. it's not as hard as it sounds. you don't even have to know Hebrew to learn how to read it since every letter is a symbol. here's the link if you want.

There are many many.... many different translations, many different companies promoting different translations.
There are many very good ones and some not so good, IMHO.
The new NET bible (go to www.bible.org) is free. you can download it to your computer or read it on-line. It seems good, accurate, and has helpful study notes.
God bless!!
