Relax guys, it's a valid question based upon the poster's belief.
I was raised RC and firmly believe in God. However, the bible is a publication which was comprised partially based upon individual beliefs and word of mouth. Well, like any other group, when things are put in writing, it is often slanted toward the agenda being promoted. I believe this to be true of all sects, not just those involved in the bible.
If the bible is to be believed as the word of God, how can their possibly be more than one version?
Remember, the church and the tenets of a religious belief are man-made products reliant upon the belief of those involved. Hell, every time the RC convenes and ecumenical council, a saint is defrocked, a simple women becomes a whore or any number of other beliefs which those of the council deem necessary to adjust to become aligned with the teachings of their church come to being.
I have no problem with those who believe in whatever it is in which they believe. However, by they same virtue I expect not to be judged by those I do not judge.
You asked, I answered and see no reason to carry this any further.
