look up the Gideon's (www.gideon.org). They have multilingual bibles. Another option is to approach your local christian bookshop for this one you will need to pay.

I have many, many Bibles and often use them to compare scriptures which I'm studying.  But for reading and teaching I prefer a modern language text, and one that is TRANSLATED (from original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) as opposed to one that is a VERSION.  My two favorites are The New World Translation and the American Standard Bible.  Also I prefer ones that have footnotes and cross references, which I use a great deal.

It is Strong's Concordance (you were VERY close).  If you actually need the physical book, you will be hard pressed to find one for free.  It is one of the largest, heaviest books I have in my library.  I would guess that a new one goes for around $40-50.  You might be able to find one cheap online, but it would be expensive to ship.  I would recommend calling a few used book shops in your area.  You can find software online that you can either download, or use right off the internet, however that you can use for free.  Any online Bible with a search feature does pretty much the same thing.  I like biblegateway.com.  If you specifically need the numbers that go with the search however, I don't think they have that.

The best way you can find out what the bible says in "real terms" is to read it in Hebrew. That is the original language  it was written in. I find it useful when reading to have The Exhaustive concorance of the Bible near by.

That is an easy one!\n\nFind a Christian Bible.\nFind another book.\nCheck if that book is found in the Bible.\nIf it isn't there then obviously it was left out.\n\nHow hard was that?\n\nThe Egyptian Book of the Dead? Nope, not there.\nThe Tibetian Book of the Dead? Nope, not there.\nWar & Peace? Nope, not there.\n\nWhere did you get this silly idea that the Bible was supposed to contain every single book in the universe and that the mean ole' Council of Nicea left all those millions of books out?

In large part you're correct as I see it,the new testament is essentially that which came after the birth of Jesus although there are basic elements of the Old Testament which will still exist in some manner within the New Testament. The Old Testament if you really wanted to get down to it is essentially the Torah with changes,or at least the basic story is the same. Except that the Christians had a wholly different view of Hell and of Lucifer who if I understand correctly the Jews did not view as Gods enemy so much as Gods way of testing us to make us worthy.

Dead Sea.\n\nBedouin shepherds accidentally stumbled upon one of the most important religious discoveries of all time -- The Dead Sea Scrolls.\n\nSeven ancient scrolls, written in Aramaic, Herbrew, and Greek, discovered by Bedouin shepherds in 1947, 13 miles east of Jerusalem, turned out to be from the period between 200 B.C. and A.D. 68. The scrolls held information about the Old Testament, including material never seen before in modern times.

A necessary note from Pablo. \n\nWhere is the Ark of the Covenant? The Ark of the Covenant mysteriously disappeared 2,500 years ago. Amateur archeologist Ron Wyatt claimed he found it. It is important to realize that three of Ron’s many discoveries are widely accepted: \n\n\nThe Turkish government has officially proclaimed that Ron Wyatt found Noah’s Ark. \nIsraeli tour guides take visitors to the site Ron Wyatt identified as the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah where the cities, although turned into ashes, are still visible. \nAnd most investigators believe his discovery of Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, as well as the site of the crossing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel. \n(Necessary is to say that lately some immoral "investigators," in order to make money through their books and videos, have attempted to appropriate for themselves these last two discoveries by not giving proper credit to Wyatt when they make their presentations of it). (For some evidences of Wyatt's discoveries see links at the end of this article) \nNotwithstanding all the above validated discoveries, many so-called "skeptics" — Christians and not — still doubt Ron’s claim that he found the Ark of the Covenant and go to all extremes to deny it. Why? Because its acceptance would entail too many serious consequences for many uninformed Christians unconsciously affected by the all-encompassing Replacement Theology, for rabbinic Judaism, for all pagan religions of the world and for Evolutionism. In other words, its acceptance would deeply revolutionize the fabric of human society due to its "disturbing" spiritual ramifications. Therefore, Satan will use any and all his minions in order to try and stop the information on this page to be publicly known, and most of all accepted. Read on, and let the Spirit of the Almighty tell to your heart and your mind what the truth is. I know that his truth can make you free — or freer. \n\nPablo \n\n\n\nThis article describes in detail the most amazing and important discovery ever made in Archeology. The finding of the Ark of the Covenant by a Christian amateur archeologist, Ron Wyatt — a real Indian Jones — in 1982. Here you will find out why you might have never heard of it before despite of its proven reality. In this description there are many things that are amazing enough as to leave the blockbusters of Steven Spielberg deep in the dust. The reality and significance of what Ron Wyatt discovered in so fabulously mind blowing that only God, the ultra-imaginative Creator of the Universe could ever had conceived the most portentous element in this discovery. If you have Christ in you, be advised, you will cry. I did. It is also necessary to say that Wyatt made his phenomenal discoveries (this was not the only one, here you will read about several in connection with the sacred Ark) by strictly following the indications given in the Bible and by tuning with God in prayer. He proved that God uses those less likely to do His work on this earth ... and the results are awesome that lead to you bow and worship Him who has no equal in Eternity. To Him all Glory. To Wyatt thanks in Heaven. And to you a huge surprise lies ahead. Read on. \n\n"For nothing is secret,that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."   Lucius (Lukius, Luke) 8.17 \n\n\n\nIntroduction To The Discovery\nRon's Studies\n\n\nWhen Ron Wyatt returned to America after his unusual experience in Jerusalem, he studied the Bible closely, noting the last time the Ark's location was mentioned. He discovered it was when King Josiah of Judah wanted to reform the country, "Moreover Josiah kept a Passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem; and they killed the Passover on the 14th day of the first month. And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord: 'Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of

Judaism follows the Tora, which is pretty much the Old Testament of the Bible.

The best suggestion I can make is E-bay, used book stores, and a web search. Its out there, but I'm not sure its still in print. A hint: The older the copy of the 6th & 7th books of Moses the more likely it will be that this will be a part of it. I had one YEARS ago and let it get away. Good luck!

God gave the Old Testament to "set the scene" as it were for the coming of His Messiah, which non-Messianic Jews still are looking for, and Christians including Messianic Jews would say is Jesus Christ.  The Old Testament is pretty well divided into parts.  \n\nFirst there is the Pentateuch, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, all of which are believed to be authored by Moses and are commonly referred to as the "Law."  God gave it to show us what His standard is so that in doing so we may realize how far we all fall short of it, and thus, that God alone is justified in judging or condemning, for we are all guilty.  As Jesus said, let Him that is without sin cast the first stone.  The Law in providing the basis for what we know to be wrong, thus shows us we need God's mercy.  \n\nThen come the historical books, like Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Chronicles, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Samuel, Esther, and Nehemiah.  These chronicle much of Israel's history and God's interaction with people for hundreds of years.  It is often said, those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.  I suspect these historical books are given not only that we may understand better God's interaction with people but also common mistakes made by people just like us.  \n\nThen there is the wisdom books, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes.  In these books is hidden a wealth of wisdom to apply to all venues of everyday life, written by David, Solomon, and Job.  David and Solomon were both 2 of Israel's greatest rulers, and Job was at one point the most influential man in the middle east.  \n\nAnd finally, the remaining books, Isaiah through Malachi, form what is known as the prophets, foretelling of that which is to come, with much about the coming Messiah and other future events.  Sometimes we can even figure out exact dates based on times given like that in Nehemiah 2 {month Nisan, in the 20th year of Artaxerxes the king, or 445 B.C.[1]).  Interestingly, that time allows us to precisely date, when comparing with Daniel 9:25, the exact time when the Messiah is to come.  Since the babylonian calendar time of 360 days was used, you then multiply 360 days * the 69 weeks of 7 years each, so 360 * 69 * 7 or 173,880 days unto "the Messiah, the Prince."  To get our current year we must then divide by 365 to get 476.38356 years, which when added to the 445 B.C. date we have from archeological evidence we get a date of roughly 21-22 A.D when the Messiah was to start His public ministry.  The 70th week which would account for 49 years is said in Daniel 9 to be when the sacrifice and offering would cease.  And in 70 A.D. the temple at Jerusalem was destroyed indeed by Rome, so that the offerings did cease, which today are no longer a custom by Israel.  To see a thorough elaboration of the points, you can see the Scofield note[2] on the topic.  At any rate, many of the prophecies have now been fulfilled, including many Messianic prophecies fulfilled by Jesus[3].\n\n\n\nAs for the New Testament, in it we find the fulfilling of the promises and hints of the grace to come by the Messiah.  We see the fulfilling of the prophecies and the revelation of which the Old Testament prophets could see and show only a shadow of.  It is small wonder then that the last book of the Bible is called "Revelation" for it is God's revelation of that which He has now made clear, known, and open about His long-ago promises.  Grace and truth are now revealed as being free to all in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Old Testament is the Old Covenant of life under the Law. When Christ came, He established justification through grace, not the law--hence the New Covenant.\n\n"In that He says, “A new covenant,”  He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." Hebrews 8:13

Was the Old Testament originally written in Hebrew?\n----YES\n\nWas the New Testament originally written in Greek?\n--------YES, although Christians claim there was, originally, a Hebrew version. The fact that it did not survive shows that the Greek version was more important to the early Christians than the Hebrew, indicating the degree to which they were assimilated into Greek religion and Culture.\n\nHow difficult are these languages to learn?\n-------Hebrew is easy, i cannot speak for Greek. I teach people to read (vocalize) the Hebrew text, not to translate, just to pronounce, in just 3 hours.\n\nHow beneficial would it be for me to learn them?\n------if you dont want to rely on someone else's translations, it is vital that you learn them!\n\nAnd where would I get a copy of the Bible in both English and Greek/Hebrew\n--------I recommend the Koren Publishing Company's translation. The Koren Publishing Company is in Jerusalem, so, unfortunately, they called their translation The Jerusalem Bible, which, in the U.S., is the name of a Catholic translation, and they are not the same thing. Most Barnes and Nobles have the Koren translation, which has the Hebrew on the left and the English on the right. Unfortunately the English still sounds like something from King James, but at least the translation tried to be literal. Of course, this is only the Hebrew Scriptures, and a Greek/English, i know nothing about.\n\nI would urge you NOT to get what is called an Interlinnear translation. All they do is take their copyrighted translation and match those individual words to the Hebrew that they want translated that way, regardless of whether or not it means what their copyrighted translation says.
