Hi. I hope I will not upset anyone with this post, but I know that over the years, since the middle ages, things have been added to and taken away from the text of the Bible. That is one of the main problems I am having with Christianity, I have trouble trusting the veracity of the Bible as it exists today. I know that some old versions used in the middle ages had stories of Lilith, who was supposedly Adam's first wife, and I wonder why I can't find any of the texts with this version of Genesis. Also, I heard that the Dead Sea Scrolls had copies of the four gospels with a lot of different things in them than most bibles used today. And then there's the Apocrypha, which only some Catholic versions have.

So I'm confused. Why would the word of God have been altered so much? Where can I find a Bible as close as possible to the original compilation, without stuff taken out or added? Again, I don't mean to upset anyone but this is an issue I am really struggling with.
