There are no less than 3 Bibles all different.
1. Protestant (King James) which has 66 books
2.Catholic Bible which has 73 books
3.Coptic Bible which has 81 books.
Which one is correct ? How do you justify your answer since some books are included in some Bibles while others are not ?

No common_s there is only one version of the Qur'an. The Qur'an means recital. I have been a muslim for 20 years and i have NEVER heard someone recite it and claim that their was even one word of difference btetween any of them. I know how to read the arabic as well so I suggest you show me this "different "Qur'an . There are 114 Suras and they are all the same in Arabic no matter which one you read.

Bettie answer the question instead of telling a Black person how he may refer to himself. I am BLACK and I can call myself that just like people from other races can call themselves things particular to their race. An Irish person would rightfully dislike me calling them a mick but they might joke amongst each other that way and not being Irish I can't tell them not to.

Okay mr. Jack handsome devil. I see you are calling yourself a devil . That's true or is it just a playful screen name like mine? It doesn't matter what you can imagine. There is a current dispute among blacks about the word ****** to which is frequently used by African americans especially the youth. It offends some and not others. Think what you want I am Black and I am proud. You still have yet to answer the question at hand and changing the subject will get you nowhere.

The Bible has a fixed catalog of 66 books, all products of God's guiding holy spirit. These 66 books are referred to as the Bible canon. And it's not necessarily Protestant. :)
What are some of the divine indications that have determined the canonicity of the 66 books?
First of all, the documents must deal with God's affairs in the earth, turning men to worship and stimulating deep respect for his name and for his work and purposes in the earth. They must give EVIDENCE of inspiration, that is, that they are products of holy spirit.
There must be no appeal to superstition or creature worship (as those additional books have) but, rather, an appeal to love and service of God. There would have to be nothing in any of the individual writings that would conflict with the internal harmony of the whole, but, rather, each book must, by its unity with the others, support the one authorship, that of God!
Since those additional books do not match these standards and do not harmonize with the theme of the whole Bible (which is God's Kingdom) they do not belong in the canon. :) Hope this helps.

And also there is The Jewish Bible, The Jehovah's Witnesses Bible,and over 50 other different versions of the Bible in English alone ! So ,which Bible, is the one true Bible of "the word of God" ? This is why i don't have a Bible. Actually i don't need one .The Catechism of the Catholic Church is enough for me.I know how God wants me to live my life.

Catholic and Coptic are both fine because those are the two Orthodox Christian Churches.
KJV was ratified by a secular sodimite. King James saw the truth, thats why she became Catholic.

Yes, I do know my Bible.
"Correct" depends on the church, doesn't it?
Some texts were "accepted" by some churches. Some were not.
Is this any different from the MANY arabic VERSIONS of the koran (quran)? And, please, don't try to claim that there's one and only one arabic version. A simple google will show that there are MANY (and no, this isn't about "translations" into other languages...there are MANY arabic versions).
Bottom line...what's your point?

,There is only One Church... and you do not even have to own a "bible" to be a part of it... but for those of The Church The Bible is part of the life God has allowed us to share..... there is no inerrant text of The Bible of The True Christian Faith existent today... The Bible does not, and can not, prove it's self... nor can it prove God... But, God will prove The Bible to any who come to Him as He Prescribes, and are open to God's leading through The Holy Spirit.
The answer to your question is some complicated... but the basics boils down to man and his ego and seeking to be the control rather than seeking to allow God to control. From the beginning, as now, man has sought control by adopting, and then altering, God's provisions for man's own uses... ignoring God's Word and Will for them and for mankind... All "religion" is man invented... The Church is not man invented.

I have to comment in support of James; I cannot imagine that a proud African-American, as you claim to be, would use such a name for their avatar. If you truly are an African-American, surely you can understand how your name offends other African Americans.....?

Te correct Bible is the Bible that reveals the true name of God....Jehovah.... KIng James has it and some other Bible....
Some Bible change the name of God Jehovah to titles like Lord, Almighty,,,,but its wrong..it is important to use God's name....

People should read all of these books and study the history of Christianity before making a judgment about them.

none are 'correct' in that the god mentioned in those and all bibles randomly kills people, destroys lives at will, tells his followers to rape and kill.....not to mention the talking donkey. Not a book or a god I would consider as 'correct' at all.

considering they're all works of fiction that contradict themselves in more ways than I care to count, I'll vote #4 - none of the above
