Also just to put the record straight! Do You Know that: Jesus never claimed to establish Christianity and never called himself a Christian.- Do You Know that: The Trinity is not biblical. The word "Trinity" is not even in the Bible or Bible dictionaries. It was never taught or mentioned by Jesus.- Do You Know that: Jesus Never claimed divinity or identity with God.- Do You Know that: Jesus himself stated that he didn't die on the cross. Early Sunday morning Mary Magdalene went to the sepulcher, which was empty. She saw somebody standing who looked like a gardener. After a conversation, she realized that he was Jesus and wanted to touch him. Jesus said, as recounted in John 20:17: "Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father ..." "Touch me not" perhaps because the fresh wound would hurt him. "I am not yet ascended to my Father" means that he was still alive, because when somebody dies he goes back to the Creator.
Today we still have dozens of Bible translation versions, with Bible scholars still arguing over the meaning and proper translations of words and phrases. The following shows just a few of the most popular versions:King James Version (KJV) The New King James Version (NKJV) Modern King James Version [Green's Translation] (MKJV) Literal Translation Version [Green] (LITV) International Standard Version (ISV) The New International Version (NIV) English Standard Version (ESV) New English Bible (NEB) American Standard Version (ASV) New American Standard Bible (NASB) Revised Standard Version (RSV) New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Contemporary English Version (CEV) Today's English Version (TEV) The Living Bible (LB) New Century Version (NC)New Life Version (NLV) New Living Translation (NLT) Young's Literal Translation (YLT) Revised Young's Literal Translation (RYLT) John Darby's New Translation Weymouth New Testament Translation Rotherham's
