But to 'believe' Him (Jesus) imo you need to go ' Beyond ' some Scriptures as some have been mistranslated/altered and sometimes deliberately changed to suit.... The Religion that came out of Rome is as reliable as every other Denominations so the best advice I would give to my Family and Friends is.....
' Whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things.'
Philippians 4:8.
Rather than waste time thinking about which Bible is the 'True' version, take the Verses that promote love and compassion and leave the rest behind.

Where you have you been all your life. That religion out of Rome kept the bible in Latin until the 1500,s. No one was allowed to read it except upper clergy. Once men could read saw that their own translating exposed them as false. They had no clue though of the mistraslated parts and could not fix it.
That religion cannot even understand simple bible milk after over 1700 years.
Example-Gods word condemns the usage of statues, icons, and graven images, yet every church and their homes are filled with all 3.
At Matthew 23:9 teaches--Do not call any man on earth Father( this wasnt talking about a dad, it was talking about a spiritual teacher.) Yet their priests are called father, The Pope is called Holy Father. God is the Holy Father. The Pope is a sinner like all men. Jesus was never with this religion, It was them who caused all the confusion of 34,000 religions claiming to be christian. If Jesus wasnt with them, then you know who was behind them=2Corinthians 11:12-15

The bible condemns- statues, icons, graven images, yet that religion said is reliable has all 3 in their churches and homes,
At Matthew 23:9--Do not call any man on earth father( not as a dad, but as a spiritual teachers.) Their clergy is called father. they call the pope holy father--such simple bible milk, they only had over 1700 years to learn it. How is it possible that they can understand the meat yet cannot understand the milk? They cant. Dogma over truth is what they have. A showy display is what it is. The foretold son of destruction( peredition) 2 Thess 2:3 the great apostasy.

' That ' Religion is as reliable as any other, no difference at all.
Regarding Statues/Icons etc.... what the Bible ' Condemns ' is worship of them. Using them in a Church/Home does not mean they are being worshipped.

If statues are not being worshipped, what 'other' purpose are they being used for?
Would the statues presence be a temptation for some to actually 'slip' and worship them?
