Everything that is written in the Bible can be regarded as an undeniable truth?

I know the subject is controversial, but surely, there are more than one version of the original bible around the world.
After all, the original text was translated into several languages ??and certainly some mid-path changes until their publications were made.
So it's basically why I do not believe 100% in everything written there.
How about you? Yes or No to this question?
P.S.: Before anyone asks me... No, I'm not an atheist.

I believe what the Bible says. There are some recent translations that I really don't agree with, but I agree that the original writings were inspired by God to be written by men. I may not take every word literally, but I trust God's Holy Word. He knew we'd need it.

You are right, the Bible was written in ancient languages and a translation is only as good as the translators. However, I do believe that we can get enough truth with any translation to figure out what God wants us to do to gain his approval.
The main truth is to love God and to love our neighbour as we love ourselves and everyone is our neighbour.

@WiseGhots In my studies, I use all the different versions and by comparing I can figure out where the mistakes were made.

The main true remains. But a lot of things were changed.

There are plenty of examples of mis-translation that have led to people having unsubstantiated beliefs - the virgin birth of Christ is an obvious example.
Then there is the question of why anyone should take the Bible literally anyway. There are so many examples of self-contradiction in it, plus the fact that much of it was written not as history but as the retelling of myth and the creation of narrative to make a point. The notion that people write with a view to telling the absolute truth about the past is a very recent one - past "historians" had very different aims in view.

Honestly it's very hard to believe everything that is in the Bible, as it's been rewrote so many different times and just some of the stuff in there makes no sense.

Actually there was so many corrections made from the real version to the one we are reading currently.
