Which version of the bible is absolute closest to the unabridged in edited bible ? Seem the Ethiopian Bible might be it but idk.

Can you read Hebrew?

Go read the stuff written in the year 200 or whatever.

I've got a concordance that helps me find the original Hebrew and Greek words used and their meaning. Helps grasp the original meaning.

Original King James?

Been used for four hundred years. It's my go-to.

Danny is right, it would have the least amount of edits.

Manuscript evidence. More or less what danny referred to. I'm not sure what you mean by an "unabridged" Bible. I don't know of any truncated versions. God has been blessing the KJV of the Bible for centuries, I don't see where you need anything else.

The Ethiopian reference tipped me off. He's referencing the apocryphal books. The Ethiopian Bible has 81 to 88 books vs the protestant 66. And even the Ethiopian church disagrees on the total number nor are all available.

It seems to have become a trope to use the apocryphal books and other pseudo epistles by many to discredit the accepted cannon or the early church fathers who studied carefully and prayerfully, and guided by God in my opinion, as to what was eventually accepted as cannon.

I would caution using that approach as it is all to simplistic to tear down something by what you may think should've have or not have happened. Much like the current use of the word Democracy to describe or Republic when or founders were to a man opposed to the concept of democracy.

Dead Sea Scrolls

I have a New King James version, but I am not one that worries much about what translation I have, reading it as part of my daily life is what matters more to me. Moses wrote over 1500 years of Hebrew history in a lifetime, Jesus did not write a note or a paragraph, sometimes we make way too much about things that just may get in the way of really getting the message.

The translations of the Dead Sea scrolls that didn't make the cut, when they were editing and compiling them to make the bible are available at some institutions. Many colleges have some of them in the restricted section. Most people are not permitted to read them.

Wonder why?

I don't believe it's the way Islam interprets it.
I have followed the King James version.

The Peshitta-- Syriac .
1st to 2nd century. It is written in Aramaic and has been translated only in recent years.
What I've read seem to be in line with the bible I use . The kjv version. Posably the oldest writings of the new testament discovered. It's been a wile since I've looked into it but it's interesting.

Good preacher, post millennial, and Calvinist. The first of which I'm a believer in, the latter = Calvanism
Not so much.

Do you believe God gambled Christ's death on the whim of man? Christ could had died in vain if left to man's "free will" in choosing Him. No way. Christ died for the elect, those chosen before the foundation of the world.
