As far as I know it could be the 3,000 odd variations of Christianity. At the very least;

For number of versions, and authors, see wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer

Major English language versions are those from 1662, 1928 and 1988. These differ from original versions in Matthew and Luke and those in turn differ between different Bible editions, eg, between King James, RSV and NIV.

Perhaps there should be a return to the original text of Matthew, which says “forgive us our debts” instead of the more popular and less practical “forgive us our trespasses” and “forgive us out sins”.

It was interesting to note that pilgrims to Jerusalem all unite in reciting the Lord’s Prayer in their own languages simultaneously and probably in a discordant cacophany.
