The Good Book

Can anyone tell me which version is best and what's the difference
Between them. I presume they cant all be right. Are the differences so minuscule to be brushed aside as misinterpretations on mans behalf.

If so does this mean they are all wrong except the original !
Which would be what Version dunno confused

Or was the original wrong and the differences are the correctional edits made by the prophetical instruments of Gods divine and mysterious Publishing company

I have no knowledge of the good book...hahaha...really I don't...I can only comment on what I think...not very religious...I leave that up to you!!
You definitely put a great smile on my dreary face..my friend...confused confused dunno dunno

But whosoever serves best of which that is of man's deed, let it be and the result is of God's claim to punish or not punish?...

Thanks my friend for such a thought provoking one...

Good morning..wine
Hello loulou.
I dont know much either. But I think their are 5 versions of the Bible. dunno
non
Sounds like a difficult decision to make...the one that is the best...
lindsyjones,
Good morning to you too. wine
Yes LOULOU,
It is difficult. wow
You know me... the good book means not much to me. I have set off to other shores. Wish you good luck in your search and give you this song to listen to. It is Morten Harket from A-HA. It is a beautiful song if you listen carefully.

im afraid i could never get past the first few pages of the good book non laugh if it was written in plain simple english i might have given it a go but couldnt understand the way it was written so i lost interest cheers
Welela,
Good song thanks for stopping by. bouquet

why you look confuse with your own book?
why you question which one is best?
I think better you ask your heart and believe that the one you picked is the best....
What about the Book confused the devils work, the devils book dunno never read it, is that what we are talking about, cuz heard its a good book dunno
Non, handshake

I think Jules Verne has the best book. and NASA copied it.

"De La Terre a la Lune" (From Earth to the Moon) was written in 1865, and "tells story of attempt to fire man to the moon using an enormous gun. three men are blasted into space from a launch site in Florida. On their return from the mission they land back in the Pacific Ocean where they are rescued by the US Navy. "..

strange... or "the best version" of history?

cheers wave


ps. original image.. i think

It all depends on your English knowledge and taste!

The King James version has older English which drives me batty with it's "thou's" and other words not used much anymore.

The more contemporary versions like the one I use, NIV (New International Version), is a study bible which defines the "mysteries", the parables and the customs people argued about during the time these books were written.

A staff of theologists have done a fine job of interpretation and even saying when something is not certain! These versions are done in plain every day English!
It is given with all the changes on the originality of the context Non..But the bottom line on those changes had done so much discrepancy that all the translation can't even reconcile it as to the unity of it all or why the difference?

We don't need to have an essay as to the transformation..yet the substance even as it is written is the culprit on some of the essential core to form practice and belief.

But this is me. The most infallible work of God made fallible by men is the question..

Now anything that has something to to with love, compassion and the justice to serve the majority to make it right is what appeals to me..And as much as I do believe in God, not necessarily how the bible has been laid out., Period..

thanks Non for such a very thought provoking and most controversial blog..The learning is just getting up higher I hope..then again, I just might claim my not knowing anything..

ljfrustrated frustrated confused confused dunno dunno
If God speaks to you then one doesn't have to worry about the Good Book being this or that. Just connect and have a never ending communication with Him. It works for me.conversing
non
I have read a good book but not the good book...do not have any words to clear up the divine discrepancies but whatever version you choose...interpretation is up to you!!
I agree with Callopesgirl and Ed....yes let the Spirit of God lead you to make that choice but at any moment you need advice on a choice of bibles I would recommend the NIV version...its set n plain english and so easy to understand...all the best with your journey to knowing God and his word...Remember Jesus Christ loves you and died for you and each and every person on that cross...and watch out for false doctrrine...if it does not say so in the Word of God then its false..keep standing on the Word of God..
My mother's Bible is the only true one as it says so very clearly at the end. Even telling you that you may not add or delete any of it as it is true as it is. Unfortunately it is in Afrikaans so you won't be able to read it. Think one Bible is as good as the other the differences are not substantial. dunno
nonsmoker, you can't ask anyone which is the best, because it comes down to a personal choice of what they think is the best. Now it's becoming a cliche' but, usually when it comes to books and films, the first is always the best. And if I'm right, the Bibles that followed after the first were changed, I guess to suit the times.
But does it really matter which one is the best? And how many times can you read the same book?

As a final note though, you're rather mouthy with your comments. Strange, for someone who claims to love God professor
Non... as always, I do so enjoy how 'tongue in cheek' you are. smile
