Sometimes a little Cognitive Dissonance helps you from overdosing on too much reality, all at once. Just saying. Sometimes I think we are living in an Evil Zionist takeover of the entire planet. Then I see that more of the good people are waking up and we will all save ourselves in time.
All the “Versions” are translations from the same core manuscripts. Same original language manuscripts - different translation teams.
Some translation teams are from all Catholics. Some are from various denominations. Some use older English. Some use updated English, etc.
Some versions translate more literally word for word (YLT, KJV) and some translate more dynamically thought for thought (NLT).
If you really want to nitpick, learn Hebrew, Judeo-Aramaic and Koine Greek and read the early manuscripts. Or just use the myriad Bible tools like a Strong’s Concordance for reference.
u/TaQo/ is right.
Check out the format of words in the Interlinear Bible - Elohim is masculine Plural.
Look at Psalm 82. It’s a Divine Council. Yhwh is just one of many sons of the Most High.
Look into Mauro Biglino blog posts. He was a former translator for the Vatican main publishing house for years, until he started noticing things that didn’t fit the narrative.
I’m hopeful that the “Israel last” will expose organized religion as well.
Definitely cognitive dissonance if you can’t believe the worldly evil didn’t target the Bible long ago. Look into the truth behind the way the books of canon were selected - more importantly what was excluded.
Elohim is translated as singular “God” when the verb is conjugated in Hebrew as third person singular. Verb conjugation and context cannot be ignored when dealing with foreign languages. Using plural forms to denote singular nouns is a common Hebraicism (e.g. behemoth, mayim/water, shamayim/Heaven, panim/face).
Ignoring the Hebrew context of the Hebrew Scriptures is foolish at best and evil at worst. Paul writes in Romans that the Oracles (i.e. Scriptures) of God are entrusted to the Jews as gifts and callings from God without repentance.
The Canon wasn’t “Selected”. It was recognized. Holy Scriptures were being commonly used by Spirit-filled assemblies en masse and a bunch of self-important muckity mucks were trying to bring in heresies with gnostic forgeries or historical religious books that, although good, were uninspired.
And incidentally “Israel last” is Antichrist’s plan.
One can believe that God is a liar and can’t protect His Word but that is a dangerous game of chicken. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth by bringing to remembrance those things revealed to us through His Son. His Son said not one jot or tittle would pass away from His Torah. Heaven and earth will pass away, He said, but not one of His words would ever pass away. You either believe it or not. Let God be true and every man a liar.
Ignorance isn’t an offence. Just a lack of information.
My reply wasn’t a rebuke. But an answer to anyone else who might decide to hate the Bible because of the perceived evil of multiple versions. I’m sure that’s not something you’d intended so I pointed out the valid reasons for multiple versions.

Franz Fanon?
When I hear the phrase "marxist philosophical psychiatric thinker" I reach for my Browning Hi Power!
Yep...
Hey do religion while you're at it real quick...
56 versions of the bible...but every single one is the official Word of Gawd...
How's that possible?
Don’t be ignorant.

There's that "Christ like" behavior on display again...
I bet you could have just forgiven me instead of calling me ignorant...
But don't actually DO anything the Christ said, just study what he said "real good" and point out to others when you think they're wrong instead.
I see where you're coming from now. Thank you.
You've just confirmed why I love the Christ, but hate religion.
Why would I need to forgive you?
