You're avoiding the personal aspects here - and the 'versions' are all pretty
much the same (contrary to your statement otherwise). I don't have time to go
into how you're attempting to twist things.
There aren't different versions as you state.
There are orignal languages and then there are translations due to the
antiquity of the documents through the prevailing tongues used throughout
history. Every ancient document has that happen to it.

I don't know which or what comes when - many would claim one way or another.
But of this I'm sure (and I think you can agree), the Bible predicts the end of
the world order as we know it.
That combined with the record surrounding Jesus should give any man cause to
stop and re-consider the claims it makes about the event.
