Christianity is a Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.2 billion adherents all over the world. Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred scripture of the Christians:
a)
The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the Holy Scripture of the Jews and contains records of all the prophets of the Jews that came before Jesus (pbuh).
The New Testament contains records of the life of Jesus (pbuh).
b)
The complete Bible, i.e. the Old Testament and the New Testament put together, contains 73 books. However, the Protestant Bible i.e. the King James Version, contains only 66 books as they consider 7 books of the Old Testament to be apocrypha, i.e. of doubtful authority.
Therefore the Old Testament of the Catholics, contains 46 books and that of the Protestants, 39 books. However the New Testament of both these sects contains 27 books.

So having said that, what is your question?

I have many versions of the Bible. I also have a version of the Koran. Mine has English in it. If all versions of the Koran do not have English in them, they are different versions of the one I have. That is the proper use of the word 'version'.
So the Koran has different versions.
What you don't seem to understand is that there are reasons why there are different versions of the Bible. Also, PBUH does not appear in any of them. If you want to explore the reasons why the Bible has different versions, Google it.
After being exposed to the reasons why there are Old and New Testaments, yes, it makes sense to me.

Not! No one is following Scriptures. They say worship YHVH, rest on "Saturday" and don't eat pork. (to pick three fast rules.) Do you know anyone who does those things? Believers followed Torah for 300 years after the Messiah, until obedience was outlawed by the "Christian" church.

Correction, the apocrypha were never part of the Jewish Scriptures.
