*****What is the most Authentic Version of the Bible????

the KJV holy Bible.
the king james version is the only version endorsed by itself in palms

Young's Literal Translation is growing on me.

Define "Authentic"

If you mean that its the "real one" and tells the truth then there is no such thing. If you mean the original work of fiction then I am not sure the oldest.

Authentic?

It's just a work of fiction ffs.

The Munch Bunch Nestle sponsored Bible.

Did you know Jesus was a strawberry?

cant beat the greek new testament but boy is it a bitch to read

It's a bit like asking where are the original Grimm faery stories.

It (the Bible) is a collection of myths, stories and Law that controlled the ancient Hebrews. It's relevance for today is practically nil.

I've read literaly dozens of translations & the KJV which uses the Textus Receptus is the most accurate

A great way to compare is to read the patristic writings of the late 1st century and early 2nd. They constantly quote the NT so much that one could compile almost the entire NT from their writings

Link to their writings

Hebrew/Greek interlinear.

ISV is near Completion. Much of translation is from the Dead Sea Scrolls...

If the Bible is, as widely promoted, the Word of God, how is it remotely possible that there would be even the slightest variation from version to version?
Indeed, why are there any differing versions at all?

<< Recently, we received a copy of the Holy Scriptures produced by the Jewish Publication Society. Of course, being the Jewish Bible, it did not contain the New Testament. In reviewing it, we discovered some interesting things. One shocking observation was discovering hundreds of footnotes as the following: Exact meaning of Hebrew uncertain, syntax of Hebrew unclear, the traditional reading madhebah is of unknown meaning, grammar of Hebrew unclear, meaning of first line uncertain, meaning of verse uncertain in part, force of Hebrew uncertain, construction of the verses uncertain, etc.. This was very shocking. Those of us coming from a conservative Christian background are usually told the Bible is inerrant. The Jews were the guardians of the Old Testament who were extremely diligent to preserve the text that not one jot or tittle was added or removed. Nearly all Christian Bibles rely on the Jewish Masoretic Hebrew text for translating the Old Testament into current languages. How was it possible for the translators to produce an "inerrant" Bible, when the "guardians of the so called 'inerrant' Hebrew text", did not know the meaning of many words and passages? >>

The original Hebrew text. All translations miss the point.

I can agree with you.

The KJV is too overrated. They simply didn't know Hebrew enough at that time and place. And they didn't listen to those who knew...

+1 for the king james version

Never heard of the concept of "translation" from a original language to a destination language? That's one reason. The other is the agendas of different groups of people.

Only the original language preserves The Word. Learn it. IT IS POSSIBLE to do it.

Also, note that "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us". That's likely the most accurate version ;)

Thanks for the link . Why do scholars /translaters make so many mistakes like in the niv for example ?.

Jesus is our King, not King James, he was gay and worse!

The KJV has 30,000 changes to it. Go with the first
Bible, the Latin Vulgate translated by St. Jerome in
the 4th century.

If you don't know Latin, read the English translation of the Vulgate, the Douay-Rheims Bible.

It will be a preparation for the Great Warning. The footnotes
are such a help to understand the tough verses. Go out and
buy it, we may not have the Internet much longer.

The Companion Bible

bible is a plural noun....

a lot of it is like history...

archeology and science.....

it`s a compilation of books kept as a record.....

for the hebrews....

it all started with moses...

moses was an egyptian prince and studied alchemy...

and with that he was able to guide his enslaved brethren into a different place, area....

where the hebrews begin to become a nation who kept sacred books as archives (the bible)....

these books had the life of moses and their modern history becomes more applicable here ...

moses was their biggest prophet....

the gospel....is the other half of the bible....

the life of christ......

the dead sea scrolls are the oldest authentic writings of the gospel....

I was merely being facetious, old chap.
However, I heartily concur with your 'agenda' statement.

a course in miracles... my bible.

how could it possibly be more authentic than the original text?

We do not and will not have access to the original text. The Vatican will continue to see to that.

yes... but in a way it would matter little....

since most people follow their religions blindly....

intelectually....

there is religion and there is spirituality....

guess which one..... the practical one is?
