I believe this will happen soon. My own estimate is the year 2014.

The serious contradictions in the Bible should have long been removed. Examples: (2 Samuel 24:1 vs 1 Chronicles 21:1); (2 Samuel 10:18 vs
1 Chronicles 19:18); (2 Chronicles vs 1Kings 4:26); (1 Kings 7:26 vs 2 Chronicles 4:5); (1 Samuel 28:6 vs 1 Chronicles 10:13-14); John 3:13 vs 2 Kings 2:11 and Genesis 5:24); (John 18:19 vs John 17:12); (2 Chronicles 6:36 vs 1 John 3:9).
There are also a number of contradictions about God who can never be seen as said at three places and yet at other two places, God was seen; and at further two places seen "face to face".
Exodus 33:23 with reference to God should have long been expunged.

You can't 'update' the bible! It is what it is. It can be changed into modern language to make it more accessible to people just like shakespeare but it's the same whatever century ti's in. There are modern bibles if you want easier language access.

There are always attempts at modernizing or simplifying Bible translations and paraphrases like Good News For Modern Man in the late 1960s.

There are many versions of the Bible that use more modern language.
As far as what the bible says, however, it is God's WORD. It is the same yesterday, today , and forever. God does not change.

OK Here goes:
In the beginning there was nothing and it exploded. God made up the rules of mathematics and evolution and took the rest of the week off while it all got on with it.
By about Friday afternoon, man came onto the scene and invented atheism, greed and hedonism. And they all lived miserably ever after.

If you mean it's content, this is like re-writing Shakespeare, for Bible is considered to be actual events, even though I still believe it should be in the Fiction section.
If you mean the language of it, it's been done over the past several millenia, hence the NEw International Version, New King James Version, and New Living Translation, (even though I am not Christian, I have an NLT and NIV version).

Nope... it's all the same stories really... but you just have to interpret it using today's events... I would think as the years have gone on people would have a better understanding of it's teaching seeing that a least now the majority of us can read!! Plus, Gods word never changes...

It might be, it wouldn't bother me. They would do the same thing they always did when they created new versions, go to the oldest manuscripts and fragments available and set guidelines for translating them.
At least it's not like the Muslims, who lie about there being only one Koran! lol

Guess you haven't looked at all the different versions of the bible these days or are you trying to say that it should be re-interpreted from you prespective ?
