Which Bible Do You Believe?
This article covers the answer to the question: “Which Bible Do You Believe?”
There is a violent debate amongst Christians regarding which Bible to use. We would think all the Bibles are the same since they claim each one is by God. Some of them are lacking some words even some verses. Here we will compare the Bibles.
We will take the most popular Bibles, the King James Version (K.J.V.), the Revised Standard Version (R.S.V.), the New International Version (N.I.V.), the Good News Bible (G.N.B.), and the Living Bible Version (L.B.V.) and contrast verses within these Bibles.

This is excluding the deadly argument between the Catholics and Protestants who have Bibles that differ even more;
The Catholics have 7 additional Chapters/books called “Deutrocanonicals” their names are; (Tobit, Judith, Esther, The Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, 1st. Maccabees, and 2nd. Maccabees).
A total of 73 Chapters/books within the Catholic Bible
============
The Protestants in the year 1611 AD, removed the Deutrocanonicals from the Bible
66 Chapters/books within the Protestant Bible.
If the Christians had obeyed the Bible from the start, than all the Christians persecuting Christians would not have occurred and will stop occurring.
