How many different versions of the Bible are there? How many different versions in English.

They are not all the same!

If you say that “your chosen version” is the correct version, then all the other versions are translation errors to you.

The debate on the translation of Matthew 19:24 has been ongoing for centuries. In Aramaic, the words rope and camel are very similar.

If you believe your words, there is something amiss in your logic. Common sense is not common.

Indeed!!

But, sadly, many folks do this.

They are just SURE that the KJV was good enough for Paul, then it oughta be for us as well.


I KNEW there was a reason for me having so many different VERSIONs of the bible.

Heck, I've even got different versions of the Book of Mormon, and there's an Egyptian Book of the Dead on my shelf somewhere.

I do not, however, have a JW 'bible' or a Reader's Digest one.
