"Mormons"--members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--believe The Bible to be the word of God. This book of scripture is studied in youth and adult Sunday Schools within the LDS church. The 8th Article of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints states: "We believe the Bible to be the word of God so far as it is translated correctly. We also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."

No religion has primarily or exclusively endorsed the New King James Bible, however, it is used in many strains of Protestant Christianity, most especially Anglicans and Episcopalians.
The Bible covers a long period, several thousand years. Different calendars will have been used, and different people use different calendars anyway.
No. The King James version of the bible has omitted parts of the original documents, hence removing essential traditions and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Judaism and Christianity.
No. There are numerous polytheistic faiths and aboriginal faiths (in the Americas and Australia) without any sacred book.
The Holy Bible is from God and it helps people to become aware of what He wants for their lives. Religions would be different without scripture because, the information might not get passed on correctly if it was only taught verbally without a text.
No, many atheists I know read the Bible more for philosophy. Some read it just for the stories. You don't have to be a christian to read the Bible. The Bible is used by other religions as well. The old testament is straight from Judaism, and mormons use a slightly different version of the Bible in their churches. Regardless of your religious beliefs, the Bible contains good lessons for everyone.
The three Abrahamic religions are Judaism (the Tanakh), Christianity (Old Testament), and Islam (the Taurat).

Yes, Bibles are updated through the years because the vocabulary of people change as years pass, and some words that are used in older versions of the Bible, are not commonly used in present time. For example, if you say something is cool nowadays it means that it is stylish, or funky, but back then it was just cold, or chill. Different Bibles, such as different versions, or Bibles for kids or for teens, will use different vocabulary to get the message more clear according to whom they refer to. Also different religions have different Bibles. For example the Christian Bible, will not be the same as the Catholic Bible, because they are different religions.

It doesn't refer to homosexuality anywhere in the Bible. However, there are certain verses that can be interpreted as prohibitions against same-sex activity, particularly Leviticus 18:22. It's important to note, however, that different religions interpret these verses in different ways, and not all use them to ban homosexuality.
A:It is traditional for the Abrahamic religions to refer to most other religions as mythologies. A myth is really a legend with a supernatural reference, and these are also to be found in the Bible and Koran. When we use the term 'mythology' in respect to religion, we should either use it for all religions without exception, or for none at all.
One Christian prayer that many religions use is found also in the Bible, it's the Our Father prayer.
