The Catholics usually beat the Baptists into submission here


It's because we don't have to look over our shoulder when we drink or dance. We can just let loose.

Are Catholic Bibles different than regular Bibles?


Honestly that's a good question, I grew up catholic and cannot answer this. What books are included in the catholic Bible that are different than other Bibles?

Also never a fan of how the catholic church added "things" to their teachings like praying to "saints" and confessing your sins to another man. Sorry but ill go straight to God as the Bible states "no one goes to the father but through Jesus" no where does it say go to a priest first.

Catholic and Protestant Bibles both include 27 books in the New Testament. Protestant Bibles have only 39 books in the Old Testament, however, while Catholic Bibles have 46. The seven books included in Catholic Bibles are Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch. Catholic Bibles also include sections in the Books of Esther and Daniel which are not found in Protestant Bibles. These books are called the deuterocanonical books. The Catholic Church believes these books to be inspired by the Holy Spirit.

NAB is the translation that is used for readings at mass. NRSV-CE is also solid and supposed to be more accurate from a translation standpoint. I have the NAB fwiw

If it's a Catholic Bible, I'm sure it'll never be read. Half the pages could be blank and nobody would notice for 30 years.

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.

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

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

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

Sadly that is pretty true. Mass is very ritualistic. Very little sermon explanation.

What kind of man would let Esther and Judith tell him what to do?

This is why we can't have nice things on the OT...

This is false. The original Bible includes the epistle of James and it’s a pretty big deal because it implicitly clarify’s “faith without works is dead”. Kinda kills the whole “faith alone” tenet. You can’t just say you believe, you have to live like it too.

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.

In John 20:23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." The very core of the gospel message is the truth that the way someone has their sins forgiven is by having faith in Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior.

This is the only right answer. The Great Adventure Bible is the very best!! First Bible I’ve ever been able to read the whole thing. Even if you’re not Catholic…this is the Bible you should have.

Everything Jeff Cavins does is helpful to any Christian out there.
