In the new revised standard edition of the Bible it says.....?

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.

your first rule of reading the bible you need to accept that it does not make sense and it is full of contradictions\nit is only a book of fairy tales

I use KJV translated in the 1500's. Its the most accurate version to this day. you can find different translate dates at the link below.

Interesting, but my translation says "God takes his stand in his own congregation".  (New American Standard).  We would need to discuss it with an expert in ancient hebrew to form an informed opinion, so take it easy.

Yup I do and its funny in a weird sort of way how people will adapt what is in the Bible to suit their own needs. The book hasnt changed in a few thousand years I doubt its going to any time soon. Its all a matter of personal interpretation I guess but it shouldnt change every time you read it or speak about it to someone if you are a person of your convictions then it will stay the same.

The New American Bible is the version used in Catholic Churches in the United States. It might be convenient to read the same words that you hear at Mass.

"...can it be backed up with scripture?"\n\nCertainly not; it's not Scriptural.  It's a pseudo-religious phrasing of an old conservative attitude.

In the translation of my copy of the Bible, they state flat-out that they do this out of respect for people (including the Jews, whose scripture they are translating) who might feel offended seeing the Name of God in print to potentially be abused.  They add that where the proper name of God is used, they translated it to LORD, all caps, while "The Lord" was translated to a normal proper noun.

1. What scripture verse was translated incorrectly (What did the incorrect verse say)\n\nHERE IS THE WHOLE STORY, FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW:::\n\n          Exodus 34:28-35  28 And he was there with the \n          Etrnl forty days and forty nights; he did \n          neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote \n          upon the tables the words of the covenant, the \n          ten commandments. 29  And it came to pass, when \n          Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two \n          tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came \n          down from the mount, that Moses wist not that \n          the skin of his face shone while he talked with  \n          him.  כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n          30  And when Aaron and all the children of \n          Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face \n          shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. \n          31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and \n          all the rulers of the congregation returned unto \n          him: and Moses talked with them. 32  And \n          afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: \n          and he gave them in commandment all that the \n          Etrnl had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33  \n          And till Moses had done speaking with them, he \n          put a vail on his face. 34  But when Moses went \n          in before the Etrnl to speak with him, he took \n          the vail off, until he came out. And he came \n          out, and spake unto the children of Israel that \n          which he was commanded. 35  And the children of \n          Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of \n          Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon \n          his face again, until he went in to speak with\n          him. \n\nThe verse incorrectly translated is, of course, Exodus 34:29 above, and i have supplied the Hebrew. The word mistranslated is the word, 'KEREN,' meaning 'beam,' like a beam of light. Unfortunately, the word also means horn, as in a 'horn of plenty.'\n\n2. and what is the correct translation?\n\nMay own translation:::\n\nExo 34:29 ויהי ברדת משׁה מהר סיני ושׁני לחת העדת ביד־משׁה ברדתו מן־ההר ומשׁה לא־ידע כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n\nAnd when Moses came down from the Mountain of Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down from the Mountain, and Moses did not know that beams of light (keren or) shone from his face when he spoke with Him.\n\nAdditional information:: When i was a kid, i actually had Christians come up to me, asking me where my horns were? Their ministers and their families had taught them that the Jews actually had horns, based on the New Testament quotation, when Jesus calls The Jews children of Satan!!!!

The Bible is very reliable and the message has not been changed with new translations.\n\nThere is contradictions in the Bible but I would like you to ask specific contradiction so we would be able to help ou to understand.\n\nThere is very big change that the Bible will not make any sense to you if you do not let Holy Spirit in your heart to guide you.\n\nThe Bible is written by men but inspired by God.Feel free to contact me personally....and if you ask specific contradiction questions here, you will get great answers.\n\nGod bless.

Could be a different Bible version.\n\nToday people love modern Bibles rather than the KJV.\n\nWhen i was doing my Bible studies with 8 Bibles I quickly tossed the "Living Word" as being trash.  The translators took so many liberties with phrases in that one I couldn't deal with it.\n\nI have a friend who collects Bibles and she gives a lot of them away keeping only the ones she personally likes.\n\nBUT, to get to YOUR question, how can YOU say MEAN AND VIOLENT and then use a phrase like IS THIS RETARDED?\n\nIsn't that the pot calling the kettle black?\n\nAnd yes, religious people do play with words.  A sad fact of life.  That's why I don't belong to an organized religon.\n\nThe sad fact of life is these people tell you how to live your life and they go home, get drunk, beat their wives up and make them give them oral sex, like any good Christian should do, right!

Since there is no original copy of the OT present today, no one knows what was changed and altered.\n\n\nIsa 29:15  You are in for trouble, if you try to hide your plans from the LORD! Or if you think what you do in the dark can't be seen. \nIsa 29:16  You have it all backwards. A clay dish doesn't say to the potter, "You didn't make me. You don't even know how." \n\n(JPS)Isa 29:16   O your perversity! ...\n\n(KJV+)  Surely your turning of things upside down...\n\n\n\n2Co 11:13  Anyway, they are no more than false apostles and dishonest workers. They only pretend to be apostles of Christ. \n2Co 11:14  And it is no wonder. Even Satan tries to make himself look like an angel of light. \n2Co 11:15  So why does it seem strange for Satan's servants to pretend to do what is right? Someday they will get exactly what they deserve.

They will never be out of date insofar as they are still relevant today.  The rest of the Bible speaks about other sins but in different ways.  The Book of Leviticus takes the commandments and explains more in depth what each one means and what God wants for our lives.  In some ways though, I think we do need an updated set so that people will have no way to question what God wants.  You must look to the Greek text to find out about recreational drugs, you need better language to tell people that homosexuality is wrong, they don't understand the man lying with another man, as a woman idea or that it is an abomination, or that living together is not right.  You can go on forever trying to update those Ten Commandments, but, ultimately, all the answers are already in the Bible.  You just have to search for them and obey them.  God doesn't want His Word turned into a lie, as is being done in today's society.

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.

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

<squeeee>  Where'd you get *that bible??  I want one too!!  The bible I read didn't say cool stuff like that.  drat.  I was robbed!

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.
