Why are there several different Bibles didn't God send one complete book?

Answer

God DID send "one complete book" it is man who has made many translations and errors.

-------------

That portion of the writings of inspired men in the old world which, in the providences of the Almighty, has been handed down from age to age until modern times is called the Bible. These writings in their original form were perfect scripture; they were the mind and will of the Lord. They have not come down to us in their perfect form. Many books have been left out of the original compolation of the Bible, they are Book of Covenants, Book of the wars of the Lord, Book of Jasher, A Book of Statutes, Book of the acts of Solomon, Books of Nathan and Gad, Prophecy of Ahijah, Visions of Iddo, Book of Shemaiah, Book of Jehu, Acts of Uzziah, written by Isaiah, Sayings of the Seers, Three epistles of Paul and the Prophecies of Enoch. All of these missing scriptures can be found as having been written and are mentioned in the existing scriptures that we know as the Bible.

Further Answer

In addition to the above answer, all the books were written by individuals, a right motley crew they were too! There were shepherds, learned men, kings, ordinary men, fishermen, a tax collector, a doctor, and even a tent-maker. The one thing they all had in common, however, was that they were truly inspired by God in their writings. They did not write God's words like the so called 'spirit writing' mediums of the spiritualist churches who claim to have been 'taken over' by someone long dead. Instead they were all written by ordinary people but with God's Holy Spirit as a guide and inspiration. Modern translations are usually very good, especially as we now know more about the ancient languages of the Bible (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek), but chiefly because the reputable modern translations are also attempted only after much study and prayer - ensuring that they too are blessed and inspired by God. Disreputable translations - those, as an example, of sects like the Jehovahs Witnesses, were translated and mistranslated in order that the Bible 'fitted' the pre-conceived ideas and beliefs of the translator. True modern translations make use of a large team of scholars from all denominations, steeped in prayer, in order that the modern translation should reflect, as much as possible, the original meaning of the scripture, but in modern English, and be faithful to, what is, after all, the inspired Word of God.

A Further Question

In the 'divinely inspired' Bible Paul specifically commands that widows (with or without children) under the age of 60 are to receive no help from the church [1,2], no matter how poor or starving they are. He also strongly commands several times that those unable to work or those outcasts that no one will employ are to receive no help from any Christian [3], not a single scrap of bread should be fed to to them, they are to be left to starve [4]. He also commands that women are never to be suffered speak in church [5], and that their heads should be covered at all times while in the church [6]. He then commands that long hair is a shame for a man [7] even though most agree that Jesus had long hair, thus directly shaming Jesus. Would you say that Paul was inspired by God when he wrote these commands that the majority of Christians zealously obey (after having been told by their leaders that Paul's teachings are infallible because they were included in the Bible) ?
