Answer 2

There are hundreds of translations of the Bible. Most people are familiar with the King James version of the bible, but I am most familiar with the Catholic Bible. The Catholic bible contains books that are not included in most other versions of the bible. Several centuries before the coming of Jesus, the Jews re-examined the Torah and removed any book that was not written in Hebrew and written after the time of Ezra.

The eliminated books include Judith (written in Aramaic), Wisdom and 2 Maccabees (written in Greek), Tobit and parts of Daniel and Ester (Aramaic), Baruck, Sirach and 1 Maccabees (written before the time of Ezra). The Catholic bible contains these books because it is a direct translation from the original texts of the sacred books.

Also, the Catholic New Testament and protestant New Testament is exactly the same. It is just the old testaments that are different.

Answer 3

Roman Catholic and Orthodox Bibles contain the books which are found in the Greek version of the OT, but not the Hebrew version. Protestant Bibles do not contain those books. That is the only essential difference.

As with any ancient text which has come down to us over a period of millenia there are variant readings in the extant manuscripts, and different translators will interpret those variations differently. But the esteem in which the Bible was held helped to ensure that those variations remained relatively minor.

Answer 4

The original canon of scripture contains 66 books. We do not have the originals autographs, they have been lost, destroyed, or just plain disintegrated many years ago. What we do have are copies-thousands of them. Some are very old. They all say the same thing. There is about 1 1/2 % variation between all of them (about 25000). Almost all of that variation is in the spelling of names and places. But all the words are there.
Now, translations are a different story. Most all translations read a little differently because they were translated by different people. But still-they say the same thing-just using different words.
Yes, there is one Bible.

Answer 5

The King James Version of the Bible

Did you know, the King James Bible is the only English Bible in the world that has a command to "study" your Bible! that's right! 2 Timothy 2:15, "STUDY to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" - has been changed in every English Bible on the face of this earth! But One!

Several times the Lord warns against "adding and taking away" from His Word.

God says in Psalms 147:19 "He showeth His Word unto Jacob.." James & Jacob in Hebrew are the same

2 Timothy 2:9 " ......the word of God is NOT BOUND." Only the King James Version is not copyrighted. All other Bibles are.

Answer 6

There is only one proper bible, though different religious groups make a priority on some issues and less on others and vice versa when compared with a different group. Apart from J witnesses, christian groups share the same translation of the bible but merely conduct their beliefs/worship in a different manner..

Answer 7

It's all a bunch of hooey. Don't believe any of it. The bible at it's source is just a bunch of camp fire stories/poems/fables etc. told to inspire and further the power and influence of religous leaders a few thousand years ago. Just think what happened when you were a youngster sitting with your mates telling stories/jokes etc. Your mate would tell a joke /story and you would push youself to go one better to get a bigger laugh/expression from your mates. Now it must have been the same a few thousand years just the subject/context/terms are different to how they are today. Over time other people have translated it (maybe incorrectly) added other things to it, taken things out, have claimed to have found the 'true version', made up their own versions from scratch etc You must be getting the Idea by now.

Answer 8

Put 100 Bibles/Torahs together and you will see that they are all different. Put 100 Qurans together (Arabic) and you'll see they are ALL THE SAME, not a single word has been changed. That is the miracle of God. After man corrupted the word of the Bible/Torah, God promised to protect the Quran from being changed/ edited.
There are many different versions of the Bible. Man has changed/edited the Bible and Torah that most of it isn't God's true word anymore. Only The Holy Quran has remained exactly the same since it was first revealed.

Answer 9

There are various translations, the Catholic Bible that have a few books not in the King James version and there are altered Bibles such as the Jehovah's Witness version that translate certain texts differently to un-deify Christ, and the book of Mormon.

Answer 10

Yes various "branches" follow their own set of books, either slightly more or less than the one that Christians in this country accept. There are churches that follow John the Baptist as the
Christ and they have a different set for the NT.

Edit:
This wikki talks about the various versions and which sects canonized which ones. You can and should do further research as well.

Edit:
It's amazing how ignorant some Christians are about their church's history. Feel free to thumbs down me, but facts are facts.

Answer 11

YES. There are many versions. About the most accurate and truthful writing of the Bible is:

The New World Translation

as the publishers, The Watchtower and Bible Tract Society have gone thru strenuous efforts and lenghts calling on God for guidance and structure when this translation was written.

The Giddeon, King James, and other so-called Christian versions of the Bible contain many spurious errors and have taken out God's name at over 7,000 times in what was once the purest form of the Bible. The New World Translation puts God's name back in where it is supposed to be.

You can pick one up at a kingdom hall near you.
