Ah, therein lies the problem with quoting a translation of what's claimed to be scripture.

I think you have an equally large problem if you look at the process whereby some books were included and others were kept out. Who were the people who decided which books were inspired by God and is it safe to say these people had divine inspiration when making this determination? |
My reference to a translation of which version is in reference to the popular current use of any given Standardized version, in English. Because any given Standardized version is a conglomeration of many different original sources, there is no single, complete original document that can be pointed to as the source document. {Cristian, I hope you're paying attention to this! You and I have run into this problem before!}
But you're otherwise right. Anytime any evangelist steps up to proclaim a true religion or that "The Bible is the word of God", that's the first question I ask:
Which version?
But I pose the same question to Muslims as well--FYI. Check out this thread for further details:

...and about 3 others in that same section (Religion).
