The link you provided says it's temporarily unavailable. I find most websites update their sites early on Sunday morning. But I have found a downloadable version. Unfortunately I'm on another computer at the moment and will have to wait until later to download.
Which makes we wonder why are Protestants coming out with different versions of the Bible almost every year?
It's interesting that you are comparing the Orthodox to Protestants. The Orthodox seem to have demoninational differences right down to which Bible they want to use.
Bible is not a "doctrine."
The Bible is not a "doctrine" but doctrine has been formed around which bible people use.
The Orthodox Church teaches the same thing it taught back at the first Nicene Council. It worships the same way it is in the same century, to this day.
I believe somewhere I stated that the Orthodox are consistent in their views.
HD-You could take just about everything single document in the Orthodox church and start picking it apart.
Kosta-Really, such as? Let's see if you really know what you are talking about.
Which is the correct version; the Slavonic Bible or the American Greek Orthodox Bible?
All orthodox believe the same thing. Some don;t believe,... that KJV is a true rendition of the Greek scriptures
I see a contradiction.
“Which is the correct version; the Slavonic Bible or the American Greek Orthodox Bible?”
That’s easy, HD, the Slavonic bible. It is as accurate a translation of the Greek NT and the Septuagint as there is because Church Slavonic was intentionally designed to be an accurate translation of Greek. By the “American Greek Orthodox Bible”, I assume you mean the Study Bible. That is NOT a translation of the official Greek Bible of the Church of Constantinople which is the “official” Orthodox bible. The Study Bible is in no way official. There is no official translation of the bible into English for the Orthodox.
You are right. I am sorry. Here is an alternative link.

I am not comparing them—I am equating some American Orthodox communities with Orthodox-in-name-only Protestants. You don't become Orthodox by putting on Orthodox Church vestments any more than you become a doctor by putting on a white coat and a stethoscope around your neck!
Many an American "Orthodox" thinks and still believes Protestant. In fact, as far as I am concerned, they are. Protestants masquerading as "Orthodox" the way so-called "Messianic Jews" masquerade being "Jewish." It's a charade.
For example, the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) is recognized only by its former Mother Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, which couldn't wait to rid itself off of it, like a apparent who sends his child out into the world the moment he turns 18! No other Orthodox Church in the world recognizes OCA as a stand-alone (autocephalous) Church.
The OCA is presently headed by a Metropolitan Johan (Paffhausen) who was baptized Episcopalian and did not convert to Orthodoxy until his college years. In other words, they don't even have cradle Orthodox hierarchy but rather Protestant converts.
The Orthodox don't have "denominations." All Orthodox officially proclaim and practice the same doctrine and divine liturgy. The Orthodox Church does not vary its doctrine according to translations of scriptural books, or conciliar record, in other words on the dogmatic tradition, not biblical editions.
The Bible is not a "doctrine" but doctrine has been formed around which bible people use.
Yes, ion the original language, Greek. The Orthodox Church follows the Septuagint and the New testament, both of which are written originally in Greek.
Which is the correct version; the Slavonic Bible or the American Greek Orthodox Bible?
The Greek version! The Slavonic version was translated and compiled by the Greeks, along with the Church Slavonic language, to meet word-for-word, and conCept-for-concept standard, which no other native language can meet. Church Slavonic was tailor-made for that purpose, and the Slavonic Bible was approved by the Church in Constantinople more than 1,100 years ago.
I see a contradiction
There is no contradiction. All Orthodox believe the same doctrine, not the same translation of the Bible.
