Dear Member,
I just recently discovered this myself with my mother once when her were study the different verisons...and found out how different they are and what important scriptures they leave out...but we came to the answer that......we as believers have the Holy Spirit as our guide, and yes, God gave the bible, but he gave us the spirit to guide us whereever you go....I don't believe we carry around a bible everywhere we go, but we do have the spirit of God whereever we go...and so I believe that God can use any verison, because the spirit knows the truth and whatever God wants to show you at the time he will show you whatever verison you are reading, because I do know one thing...God is not limited to what man does, rather man limited to what God does so...saying it matters what verison you read is saying that God is Limited to one type of verison....So if God is not limited and the spirit is in you working and guiding you whereever you go...does it really matter what verison you read? If anything dear member, read the verison you feel most comfortable reading...the one he puts on your heart to read. That's the best answer I know to give. I hope I have helped you a bit more....God Blessings dear members.
You want the closest verison to the orinigal text...when we did our study we found the KJV(King James verison) or NKJV(New King James verison) verison to be the closest.
I would like to say, I understand your concern, and I was wondering the same thing before the study my mother and I did together. God will show you the right one...as long as you listen to the Holy Spirit and try your best to understand by study the scriptures and do your best to do what you learn, I believe that's all God asks of us.
