What books are included in the catholic Bible that are different than other Bibles?


A few books in the Old Testament that all pre-reformation churches consider to be scripture, plus parts of Daniel and Esther that Protestants removed.

Also never a fan of how tge catholic church added "things" to their teachings like praying to "saints" and confessing your sins to another man


Did the Catholic church add these, or did the reformers do away with these?

Sorry but ill go straight to God as tge Bible states "no one goes to the father but through Jesus"


This verse doesn't mean what you think it does.

where does it say go to a priest first.


John 20:23. My turn. Where does it say you have direct access to God?

That simply means you are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ as your savior, not through a priest.

Also the explanation of my verse that says no one goes to the father but through me, hence your faith in Christ is your salvation from sin. Again, no man has this authority. This is stated plainly in the bible.

I respect your beliefs. The belief of Protestants utilizes John 20:23 but also other verses provide to their conclusion.

“The Roman Catholic teaching requires that the authority to forgive sins be conveyed uniquely to the Apostles and then to their successors, the priests and bishops, who have a special sacramental authority. But we find no indication that Jesus gave perpetual, sacramental authority to those who come after the Apostles. The Apostolic office is distinct in function and authority from the offices of elder and shepherd (Eph. 4:11), and at any rate, Jesus gives authority to forgive sins to the entire church, as we see in Matthew 18:15–20, not only to select individuals.”

Just some food for thought on where the “other side” is coming from.
