Default Re: The Bible

Well, I'm not interested in taking a class or even studying it for that matter. But perhaps talking to a priest regarding questions I have, might not be a bad idea though. Thanks.

Also, I thought the different Christian denominations all had different versions of the bible? I could be wrong.

Default Re: The Bible

Most protestant denominations traditionally used the King James Version, and most fundamentalists still do. That however was a flawed translation in that it placed poetic beauty of language over a more correct literal translation in many cases, and also simply inserted non-scriptural elements in some cases like the doxology at the end of the Lord's Prayer (for thine is the kingdom . . .) that is not considered by biblical scholars to be truly part of the scripture.
