Hey everyone, welcome to Canon & Controversy! This is a space for honest, evidence-based exploration of the Bible — no echo chambers, no sugarcoating. Here we’ll: • Compare Bible translations (KJV vs ESV vs NIV and more) • Examine how the canon was formed (66 vs 73 vs 81 books) • Tackle apparent contradictions with historical context • Look at parallels and differences with other religions (Jewish Tanakh, Quran, etc.) Whether you’re a believer strengthening your faith, someone wrestling with tough questions, or just intellectually curious — you’re welcome here. Rule #1: Challenge ideas, never people. Bring sources, stay respectful. Drop a comment: What’s one Bible question, translation difference, or “contradiction” you’ve always wanted to explore?
