@zombies1976 i am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child at any age is a parent’s worse nightmare.

To my knowledge there is only one Bible and it is unchanged. Verse for verse it is the same, although the language may be different (e.g., King James Version, New King James Version, New International Version, etc.) Which Bible have you read, or have been reading?

Translations can differ. I believe the Jewish Bible contains the Book of Esther and that the Christian does not. The books of the Jewish Bible are in a different order than the Christian. Jewish thought and religion rely on midrash or commentary on the Bible--there is no fixed text in Judaism. For example, "an eye for an eye" in rabbinic thinking means that if you injure someone you need to pay for that, whatever a court orders. I think the Jewish approach is less known than the Christian in the USA but I've been in an interfaith group for many years and learned a lot from other people. I'm Jewish, and I read the torah, psalms, and prophets almost daily. As an English speaker I enjoy the KJV but it is not that accurate from the Hebrew. More than one version is good!
