I read some where that in the older times when the Bible was written they used to write what Jesus said in red. This way it would stand out. Do ne of u know a website with an online version of this bible or where i can get a copy of one of those bibles? They mentioned it was a red lettered edition Bible. I tried to find it online, but I had no luck. Help...

Well, the original scriptures weren't written down with Jesus' words in red. That was a helpful addition to our modern bibles. But, I can almost guarantee you that any Bible bookstore will have red-letter additions. Be cautioned that the red letters are only in the New Testament. And someone commented on your question that four people who never saw Jesus wrote the Bible. Well, Moses wrote the first five books (never saw Jesus) Different men wrote the different histories (mostly titled with their names) and different prophets wrote their books. The only ones of them who saw Jesus (before he was born at the turn of the common era) were the ones to whom God revealed Him. The New Testament was written by several men: many of whom knew Jesus very well. Matthew was one of his disciples. Mark was a companion and scribe of Peter (one of the twelve). Luke was a Roman doctor who acted as a scribe for Paul (who was called after Jesus ascended, so he never saw Jesus on earth) and John was one of the twelve. Acts was written by Luke again, and then the large portion of the epistles were written by Paul. The Bible was written by a total of around 40. Of which, some actually knew Jesus personally.

There are red letter editions all over the place. Go to a local Bible bookstore and talk to the person that is working that day. If they do not have one that is red letter edition, they would know where you could order one. If you want to look online, look at cokesbury.com or lifeway.com. I find the red letter editions much easier to read.

Major Caution!!! What you are asking for is a red letter edition(RLE) Bible; available in many translations, and Catholic or Protestant Bibles. Here is the caution though. In a RLE, all the 'red letters' are from Matthew-Revelation. However, Christ said a lot of things between Genesis-Malachi, i.e. Jesus was Lord (not lord). Those things are not 'red lettered', even though Jesus said them.

THE GREATEST MISTAKE OF RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES IN THE WESTERN WORLD was their view of the Bible as intrinsically different from other ancient scriptures, and that it was "dictated word for word BY GOD" instead of collected slowly, rewritten and miswritten, revised and reworked over and over again BY HUMAN BEINGS for a very long time!
Bible is the collection of 66 books for Protestants and 73 books for Catholics.
4 PERSONS WROTE BIBLE AND NONE OF THEM SAW JESUS THEN HOW THEY WROTE IT? , 1 REVEALATION AND TONS OF BIBLES, From them NAME OF 4 BIBLES WHICH CHRISTIANS FOLLOW (Mattews, Luke, John, Mark)? HOW THAT CAN BE :-/
On TV I saw a Holy Bible do u know what was written on it which is ONE of the prove of the corruption of the Holy Bible "International version".
Bible with versions? = which is the original version of the Bible?
But u (CHRISTIANS) have to admit it that u do not have EXACT 100% words of GOD ALMIGTY since u have many BIBLES?

go to any Christian book store and ask.
I personally like the niv (New International version). I have found it easy to read and more understandable than a bunch of thee's and thou's which only help to obscure the real meaning. oh, wait a minute, that's what the church is doing is'nt it!

Go to amazon.com and search for "Holy Bible" and "red letter".
You can take your pick for about $20
