The Christian Bible
>Has too many versions to read through, there isn't "one true bible"
The Quran
>Has only one version to read, even between the differing sects
The Hebrew Bible
>I don't know much but it appears that there is one version that they follow, I could be wrong

why should I even bother researching Christianity when Christians don't even know what the fuck is going on in their religion where everyone has to correct everyone by making a "newer better bible"

Are you asking about canons or translations? There are multiple translations of the tanakh and quoran. There are multiple canons in judaism too.

>> No.21760828

If you're talking about translations obviously there's gonna be a crap ton. The new testament canon is consistent with all branches of Christianity. The old testament has some variation in what books exist. As for content the manuscripts aren't that varying and it isn't a stretch to say the varying versions are both inspired. The Bible isn't viewed the same as the Quran anyways. The Quran is viewed as a literal dictation by God. The Bible is a collection of inspired texts by various prophets, patriarchs, kings, and apostles over thousands of years.

I'm an atheist who hasn't read a single version of the Bible all the way through and even I know the differences are tiny. Prots have the narrowest canon, Catholics have the same with a few books more, Orthodox are again Cath + several additional books.
And as far as I know nothing too essential with regards to the actual doctrine is found in those books that differ across the denominations.

There is only one version of the Bible, unless you mean translations or the Deuterocanon, but that's being disingenuous.

>> No.21761246

Read the Douay-Rheims version lad if you want to be traditional. Protestantism is heresy, and the only true church is the catholic church. So get yourself a catholic bible, done. Word on Fire has amazing looking Bibles, but they are the New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE). More readable than the DRB, so maybe that is more appropriate for you anyway.

the differences in canons is just the inclusion of a small handful of books. if it bothers you, just read all of them

I know Muslims believe the Quran can be retconned by evil djinn, like a kind of mandela effect to use the reddit nomenclature, so they strive to memorize the entire text.

cope, the Quran has been revised and changed since "muhammad" (who never existed btw), the Bible on the other hand is true and there were no biases in it's recording and the gospels are eye witness accounts, repent and believe.

KJV (Kangaroo Jack Version) or bust.

>> No.21765157

RSV is the least contested and least controversial 20th century English translation. For someone who doesn't intend to study in depth, doesn't want to read KJV, and only wants to experience the stories this is the best one. KJV has had a huge influence on English and English literature so its historical importance makes it worth reading from that angle. These two are all any one average person will need if they don't intend to be a lot more scholarly about reading the Bible.

If you go to duckduckgo it's surprisingly easy to discover the true nature of Islam. For example, the religion condones sex slavery:

https://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-about-islam/sex-with-slaves-whats-the-deal/
>Sex With Slaves: What’s the Deal? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>A female slave was under the right hand of her master and he was allowed to sleep only with whoever was under his ownership. This was considered like an indirect or special wedlock.
