Thomas Jefferson apparently decided to come back to life after hearing that so many people nowadays are calling him a Christian. Not that I can blame him. I'd want to set the record straight, too.

YES I DO! I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN RE-WROTE OVER AND OVER, BUT I ONLY READ KJV BIBLE BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST VERSIONS. SOME SAY KJV IS TO HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT IT IS WROTE ON A 8TH GRADE LEVEL. SO ANY BODY COULD UNDERSTAND THAT. I BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE BECAUSE I HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST AND I CAN FEEL HIM IN MY HEART AND SOUL.

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.

It HAS been altered.  Books have been taken out, things have been chopped, text re-written, all of it.  Every person who has had it re-written has changed stuff.  The Song of Solomon was all but gutted because it was judged to be 'too sexual', Jesus' text was re-written to make him sound less sarcastic.  Ever king or ruler that commissioned a re-write of it changed it slightly to what he felt it should be.

There have been thousands of different versions of the Bible.\nMany books have been edited or dropped over the centuries \nWhat we now call the Bible was asssembled many years after the events described
988142
No. There has been too much lost in the numerous translations. And I would question your statement about the book being in existence for 'thousands' of years. The new testament and the gospels were not instantly assembled upon the death of Jesus of Nazareth. The old testament was passed on by word of mouth long before the books were written.  Compound these necessary flaws with the council of cardinals who decided which books were going to be part of the bible and which books were not, and the church's practice of censoring anything that did not agree with doctrine, and you have a less than perfect product.

You have to understand that the Bible was an oral tradition for hundreds of years.  People told the stories long before they were written down.  Do you remember the story of Goldilocks and the three bears?  Do you remember the exact words in the story from the first time you heard it?  I doubt it.  But you remember the message and could still tell the story to your children.\nWhen the Bible was first written it was in Hebrew (atleast, the Old Testament was).  You're reading an English translation.\nIn all of this, things change, and we shouldn't focus on one word "Us."\n\nMore to think about: Royalty in medieval brittain referred to themselves in the plural (i.e. "We are not amused.")  When the Bible was translated by King James (the most famous English translation) any royal attributes of the day may have been given to God as the Almighty King.  \n\nNo one knows for sure.  You could study this for years and not know.  I hope this summation here does the subject justice.\n\np.s. many people referred to the Trinity (I don't want to say they are wrong, but I don't agree with them).  \nThe trick with that is that the Trinity as a concept wasn't known to humans until the Coucil of Nicea in 325.

I stick to my good ol King James Version.  Here's a site that really lays out the differences in bibles......\nhttp://www.av1611.org/biblevs.html

Heh, heh... thanks bro. ;)\n\nI have seen some rare textual changes that have changed the meaning or even elimination of a word because they could not see how it fits. Hebrew letters can look very close to one another, much like our "l" and "i". So any distortion in the leather parchment could be a problem or the flaking of the ink could cause problems as well.\nMy mentor once told me that when the military creates a complex code, they transmit it with parity, or multiple times, so that if the coded message is in any way garbled, they can compare it to earlier or later transmissions. The Bible does the same thing by repeating the important messages several times. This is why Deuteronomy is called Deuteronomy. It's "repeating what we already know is true".\nCan these people explain to me why the entire 2,000 year old Isaiah scroll found in Qumran is virtually identical with the modern copies found in every synagogue in the world?\nRemember that Revelation carries an eternal curse of damnation for anyone who adds or subtracts from the text of scripture, and I do not think King James was hoping for political advantage at the expense of his soul.\nToday, we still have the original Hebrew and Greek text. Changing the scriptures would offer us ZERO political gain. Yet is still translates the same as the original King James, only with todays vernacular. \nI wonder if these people even research beyond their own notions. Do they have such skepticism when they read their dosage instructions for medication?

I'm sure you'll be told you're reading the wrong version of the bible. everytime someone finds something bad in one of them, there's either a contradictory statement for rebuttal or it's just the wrong version.
