But KJV is just that! People wrote what King James told them to! He was not God! He was a person! He had an opinion and gave it and happened to have the power to get a book written…which by the way left out several books for the Bible! Know your history before running your mouth and bullying people…. If you were baptized Catholic, then you are on the right track.
If you want the truth I would recommend the Jerusalem Bible. Catholicism which means universal is years old started by Jesus Himself. Simon Peter Peter, which means Rock was our first Pope. Just do your research and decide for yourself. A few differences were in punctuation. He went to the grave. On the third day, He rose and stayed on earth for 40 days before ascending. Most specifically, they subtracted the 2nd commandment about not making any graven images, moved the 4th commandment and made it tbe 3rd, changing it from 89 words on keeping the seventh day Sabbath holy to 8 words on keeping the Lords day holy and claiming that it was the 1st days of the week.
They openly admit changing the day themselves. Nowhere in the Bible can Sunday be found. Constantine changed it so that the pagans would join the Catholic church because they worshipped the pagan sun god. This Sunday worship is actually a counterfeit of the true Seventh day Sabbath.
There are many other versions that have not made changes that actually change the meanings, such as the New King James Version, the New American Standard Version and others that I am not as much familiar with.
I hope this helps and if you ask God for truth He will give it to you. He is the only One who has earned the right to forgive sins. Anyone else claiming that right is lying. I have had the same discussion with family and church members about Sunday sabbath and was told I should be Jewish. Not so,God gave Saturday as His day and all peoples day of rest in Genesis. The KJV is a good translation. But other versions are also helpful. I agree with Chris Hughes July 22 The law was not given to save us BUT to simply point us to the Savior a sign post.
To Him we cannot add law-keeping Sabbath or not committing any evil! If we think we can or any good behavior. Christians live by faith, i. So Him alone enables us to be loving, not judgmental, tolerant, not offending anyone-Jew, or Gentile. An impossible life to live BUT possible only thru faith in Christ.
A worshipful life and of good service to fellow humanity like the Good Samaritan. A true child of God. Start reading at the Gospel of st john. Read slow one verse at a time and ask Jesus to open the eyes of your understandig and give thanks for every new thing you see and learn about Jesus. Read only a few verses or a verse a day. This is the bread you pray about in the our Father The Lords prayer. Think on that verse till you know it by heart.
Jesus was God but also a Jew of the tribe of Judah his own people. God loves you! I know this will help you. Kjv is your best bet anymore unless you have problems reading old language then nkjv i read a douay rheims edited rememberance edition but that is only because it is the only one i could get in my area.
I would warn you to stay away from the pagan church rcc. Douay-Rheims Holy Bible!! Buy on amazon. Father Haydock commentary to each passage is invaluable for study purposes as well. Hello June. I know this post is old but I came across this and felt compelled to answer. Please get yourself a King James Version of the bible. Not the NKJV, as that has also been compromised.
You came from Catholicism. They preach a works based salvation which is against the Word of God. Catholics that I know are very sincere and good, and they believe what the church teaches is true. I truly pray that God will reveal the truth to them so they can come out of her. I am 67 and since retirement, I have sought to purchase the closest Holy Bible to the Truth, the Douay-Rheims is translated from the Vulgate which St Jerome translated over 30 years.
God bless. The bible is also online. Search online Catholic Bible. Another wonderful source is the website Catholic Online Saints. I believe the Catholic bible is on that website as well. You could probably buy a bible through that site. I wish you well. I think it was 46 but not positive. One scholar alone spoke over 14 languages. They spent like 6 years. No it was actually, 52 scholars, fluent in Greek and Hebrew, which took 7 years to the Greek and Hebrew texts to translate and create.
A Brother in Christ John. This is false difference. The Catholic church admits they changed them. They also added books to the Scriptures. In Revelation 22 verses 18 and 19 Jesus says if anyone adds to or takes away from the prophecy of this book [Revelation], the plagues that are written in it shall be added unto him. Protestant bible came because there already was an original Bible. It came after. This King James changed the original to accomodate his urge to divorce.
Read historical facts. This King James changed the original to accomodate his urge to divorce etc. The KJV manuscripts were well documented long before that catholic heresy advocated by those wicked Jesuits intruded and twisted those manuscripts. There are some dirty protestant pedophile priests walking around so why call a Catholic priest a pedophile?
Catholic priests are called out for their pedo crimes in no small part because they exploit their position of authority and trust to take advantage; i. Can you believe that the pope is only just starting to hear of their heinous acts.
On what planet has he been living all his life? With such self professed ignorance of this centuries long problem, the pope, and all his predecessors, is hardly qualified for the position he now occupies. That little detail will really blow his mind. Name me one priest that you know that is a pedophile.
Thirdly not every Catholic is a pedophile. King James started the church of England because he wanted a divorce and the pope refuse to do a divorce because divorce as you can read in the Bible is against all teachings of the church and of Christ. If you read the Bible it says what God has brought to gather let no man tear asunder.
I do not have any discrimination among catholic or protestant. I go to the Catholic church as well as protestant because it is only one God that we serve in following Jesus. Catholicism is a pagan religion made by those wicked Jesuits. All catholics will go to hell unless they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. A typical Protestant response. The protestant religion is loose we need some Martin is on Calvin is home all the other ones.
Secondly without the Catholic Church there would be no other churches Christ established the Catholic Church when he told Peter that George Peter and upon this rock I will build my church. T you know nothing about the catholic church, im sorry to say but it looks like you are just blaspheming against the Mother Church, I cant find an appropriate word for your behaviour. I grew up catholic in a catholic school and church. Everyday we had mass. I had communion in the 2nd grade and was baptized as a baby just like almost evey catholic.
When I was in my twenties I was spiritually lost. I started studying the kjv of the Holy Bible and God spoke to me like never before.
I asked Jesus to come into my life and forgive me for my sins. I got saved. Its not fake its the difference in eternal life and Hell. I never had the personal relationship with Christ I do now even though I thought I had especially when I was younger. I would encourage anyone who is Catholic to not led pride step in front of your salvation.
The way to Christ is narrow its through the cross not any other way. Please accept salvation and know God like youve never known him. God bless our nation. God bless a lost world and those who are neglecting the word of Christ. I pray youll come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I actually went through the same kind of thing growing up. I am elderly and growing up as a Catholic we were not to study the Bible. Only the priest had access and the only Scripture I heard was 15 minutes of the Gospel during Mass.
All other was church doctrine and memorized prayer. Is it not true the Roman Catholic Church has put more Christians to death as heretics than any other church in history since Christ Jesus was on the earth? Name me one Catholic him that his song at the traditional Latin mass. That seems of all praises to Lucifer. If you look through them none of them do. Marie has the only true meaning of this entire post… We will all be before God and get judged.
Love each other. Do not discriminate against the others. It states in Matthew and Mark that friends will hate each other brother killing brother families turning against each other nation against nation kingdom against kingdom. We all believe in the same person. We r in the last days guys he stated love one another love ur enemies forgive them that persecute u because of my name remember he paid the price for every one of this Earth not one person in the world could ever go thru the torment and punishment that he went thru.
Even when he was being beat spat on hung on the cross he prayed for God to forgive them for they know not what they do. Why do Catholics pray to Mary as another god? We do not pray to Mary as another God. We venerate her as the mother of Jesus Christ the one true God. Because Catholics never read the Bible. After all, who needs to pray to the Creator of Jesus when you have more than 2, substitute gods standing by? If there is a Heaven, and I pray that there is, I am quite certain that not one Catholic soul dwells there, much less, any pope who ever lived.
I pray that God will banish satan from you and show you what being a Christian is, from a believer of Christ in the Universal Christian Church.
I am an ex-catholic now saved by Jesus Christ. No David, you need to repent. Confess, repent, pray and sin no more. Jesus is weeping and Satan is living his best life. I will pray for you all. I agree with Kim. Pray for me too Kim. I too will pray for everyone who took the trouble of commenting here. Catholics, Protestants, Jews whatever. None of them. Seems you all hate each other more than you love. At least your comments support that. Arguing whose is Christian and not. Your neighbor is everyone one comes in contact with, including messageing and texting.
Wow, Just be good? Jesus told us to GO, make disciples. Matthew 28…Go, Baptize and Trach them about Jesus. They need to see His Love through you. The only way you will ever know which should be the REAL book of Jesus is to read the manuscripts yourself. Meanings of some words have different meanings in different context. You may say this is blasphemy or not true, but have a look around. The leaders of the world are destroying us, we have to follow them and do as they say.
Religion tells you to help the poor and the needy, but the they still have billions of dollars and assets. So going on the bible the people of that religion will not go to heaven as they have not given up their processions as they are still with their church. John King James Version KJV 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. My mother in Heaven has done great things for me here on earth through her intercession to Her Son. She brought me to Jesus. Anyone who brings you to the Lord is pretty good and cannot be of the devil. Jesus is about love. Love your neighbour as your self.
Sadly many of the above comments are not very Cristian. Stop the bickering and unite in praying for everyone. How can we have peace while bickering. Jesus will take care of you as long as believe in what You believe while respecting your neighbors beliefs and showing your love for them.
God bless all who read this. To cut the long story short this is pretty much it.. Most of the unloving comments I have read here seem to stem from either ignorance or judgement. I am not a scholar nor am I perfect. I am a sinner because I am a human being. After years of study and instruction under Roman Catholic and Protestant translations of scripture, I know what God put forth and Jesus lived on Earth.
Please treat each other with the love and kindness Jesus modeled. He was the Word made flesh so that we could see how to live. You break my heart. Even though we are more connected to Christians around the world, it seems that we are further apart.
We become followers of our denomination, our church, or our theology instead of being followers of Christ.
Jullian Nunnaly. The ESV is an excellent version of the Bible. It is a translation in the Tyndale — KJV tradition and renders verses traditionally and majestically. Catholic Bishops in England appreciate its strengths and are preparing a new lectionary. It will be great to have Catholics and educated Protestants reading from the same page. Unless I am mistaken in my history, the Anglican Church had broken away from the Catholic Church before the King James Version was printed because Henry could not get the divorce he wanted from the Catholic Church.
Like every other breakaway religion that disagreed with the teachings of the Catholic Bible, they incorporated small but meaningful changes that allowed them to follow their own interpretations of the Bible with impunity.
There is but one original Church, that one founded by the Apostle Peter at the direction of Jesus Christ, known as the Catholic Church, following the crucifixion of Christ. There is but one Catholic Bible as approved by the Catholic Church.
In the U. Every other variation of that Bible is a deviation of the original written by and adapted for those who question the authority of the Pope and the Catholic Church itself. Submission to God is a requirement of all of them. Jesus as God directed the formation and foundation of the Catholic Church. I pray for you all and come Judgment Day, we will find out for sure who chose wisely and who chose poorly. All that being said, it is the love of and belief in Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit, and the lives and choices they compel us to follow, that will be our measure on Judgment Day.
Just to be clear, I do not judge the choices made by anyone regarding the religious tenets they choose to follow. The kjv was created for the fallin away king Henry the eighth that interpreted the Bible the way he wanted it to read. The catholic bible is based on truth not lies.
No one should change the words of the Bible. If we read another version of Gods word the blessings that come down are not the same. We have six books more in our catholic bible. I will continue to read only a catholic bible. Thank you for your wonderful insight into this matter.
It also seems that everyone here also believes that Jesus was in fact God in the human form who came to free us all from the Law that we could not live up to and offer us salvation.
So why is everyone arguing so much? Some may argue that we are in a state of redemption from our sins, if we have prayed before reading and asked for God to open our heart and if we pray for understanding then it would be possible. Of course not. I also believe that short of gross deletion, omission or addition, God knew and has allowed for variances in translation. He knows we are human far better than we do I believe. So Protestants and Catholics continue to argue and become angered with one another…not a lot has changed since Martin Luther first broke away from what was at that time the mainstream Christian Church or the Catholic Church.
So was he so wrong and in equal measure was the Church if that day so wrong? I think God knows we will disagree and drive at different opinions and again, I feel that he has allowed for that until we become angered with one another and allow a window of opportunity for Satan to enter our hearts.
Then what we think is righteous work is truly Satans work and we have become fooled by the great deceiver. I had a wonderful opportunity many years ago to examine my personal religious beliefs and what I held as right and true and just with opposing beliefs of another theological sect of Christianity.
I was raised in an interdenominational, Protestant church in a very rural area of the USA. I was a believer and had accepted Christ as my savior, confessed my sins and asked forgiveness for them. I was then baptized and tried to live s good life afterward. Not that I lived a bad life before, I was young. And as many adolescents do, I strayed and sought the things if man and the world for s season. In early adulthood I realized how I had been living. Do I came back to the fold ad it were. I repented and I repented our of true regret and with a sorrowful heart.
Then I met and fell in love…and with a Catholic girl. I prayed about it…a lot and ultimately I decided what is the harm in spending time with a priest? Well I can tell you it was time well spent. We became great friends and I can honestly say I hold him dear to my heart to this day…but I never joined his Church or Parrish. I feel comfortable saying he feels the same about me. That is to say I discovered that it was just a different way of worshiping the same Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Separated by generations of tradition and formality but ultimately with the same intent and purpose. So some things to consider I think…the Church has been administered by fallible men since it was created or established.
If we had never heard more about Peter I think most of us would only remember him as the one who denied him three times at the end. Possibly, not for money but to save himself. So was he great? Yes but so are we all so I believe. I greater or lessor than anyone. I personally believe that Peter was a very strong willed and maybe even a little stubborn man, kinda a kin to a bull.
A never say die, never give in and very headstrong man. What better man to give such an important task as Building your church? And that I think is what so many of us forget.
So to wrap up Peter, does anyone think Jesus asked Peter to be Pope of his church? I think he did. The leader of the Church. Then he elaborated and went on to explain how things metastasize over time and once they take hold, over generations and generations that are very hard to change.
I just miss our conversations and personal time with my Catholic friend who happens to be a priest. If I do what I intend to do and life my life as I should I hope to find myself in Heaven someday, I may be surprised by being their myself but if I see my friend the priest it will not come as a surprise at all.
We do not have to accept what is differen! That would be foolish. In case anybody misunderstands. There has to be someone at the top. The Church is the same. They do not have a validly ordained priesthood.
They are ALL man-made and a few female-made. All with their owm made up traditions. There are good protestants who should be in the Catholic Church, and there are bad catholics who should leave the Church. I did a google search and the cover shows the King James Version. So it will have only 66 books of the 73 that are in the Catholic Bible. Our Catholic bible has the 66 books plus it includes the Deuterocanonical Books of the Old Testament. Also, in the book of Esther and the book of Daniel, there are some additional verses.
I would like to get a copy of the Catholic version of the bible do you have any idea where I can buy on. Michael Simone, S. Sperry said. To this end, the translation team of the New American Bible—which works under the auspices of the U.
The team is currently working on updating its translation of the New Testament and, pending Vatican approval, the U. No matter the translation, the end goal for Catholics looking to explore Scripture should be to grow closer to Christ, the incarnate Word of God. Outside of the context of Mass, where homilies and parish bulletins are available to clarify tough passages from the Sunday readings, the Bible can be daunting to approach.
Because the books of Scripture were written in historical and cultural contexts extremely different from the modern world, commentaries and cross-references are invaluable for readers in order to clear up potential confusion. In fact, the church thinks that this is so important that it requires Catholic Bibles to include these resources in order to receive ecclesiastical approval.
Readers should keep in mind, however, that as useful as annotations might be for understanding the meaning of a passage, they do have the potential to distract readers from pursuing a spiritual reading of Scripture. It is produced under the auspices of the U. While the translation tends to be somewhat literal, Father Clifford said that this is not a major impediment to its readability. Another good translation is the New Revised Standard Version.
This version was spearheaded mainly by Protestant biblical scholars, with a handful of Jewish and Catholic translators also joining in the effort. There is little that is controversial in the translation; in fact, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops employs it for liturgical readings.
And for those who are looking for a translation that is more inclusive, Father Clifford says that the N. Unlike the NABRE, the base translation is sparing in its commentary and cross-references, but there are scholarly editions of the N. Given that it is a work of Jewish scholarship, this edition does not include the New Testament or the books of the Apocrypha.
Even so, Father Clifford says that he employs this translation in classes he teaches, in addition to Christian Bibles. The N.
This translation provides a fresh perspective on otherwise familiar texts, allowing Catholics to read them in much the same way Jews during the life of Jesus would have done.
