Thank you for such a simple explanation without saying one is right and the other is wrong like some do
The Council of Trent issued an anathema to anyone who denied the Canon of Scripture they set forth, protestants deny this canon. Protestants are wrong, since the council of Rome which predates Protestantism by over 1000 years, the Church has regarded the books they reject as scripture. The doctrine of Magisterium gives the Catholic Church interpretation rights as well, which is why protestants have 33,000 denominations, they fumble with scripture to their own destruction.
Both cant be right. I have one saying:
Do not call any man Father
Only one mediator. no co-mediatrix
Never mentions purgatory
No necromancy
Scripture is enough
never mentions queen of heaven
no idols. ie statues and man-made trinkets (you know)
never mentions veneration of anything
no ghosts/apparitions
the list goes on
@@wesleysimelane3423we love you, even you don't
@@allanpaolomartinezorellana2390 We also love you very much, that is why we are preaching these truths. What Christians hate is catholic human traditions, false authority, made-up dogmas and so forth. The bible is the ONLY source of God's council, believe that & u will come right brother.
@@wesleysimelane3423 no, you don't love me, or anyone, if you love us wouldn't tell this lies, and less in a video Wich don't talk about it, you only base your faith in yourself, my church create the bible and sice 2000 years teachs the true gospel, who are you? What kind of titles do you have? And read the bible Isnt enough, all the people read the bible, tell me, who are you for bully me and my church
I’m very happy with the way he introduced the video, our protestant neighbor. As an independant church believer, gotta agree that many of our own look down on the Catholic brethren. However I guess the way of salvation in both the denominations would be the same. The death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Love to you all ❤
You’re very wrong
Isn’t there a warning of removing scripture from the Bible ?
All Protestants must condemn or look down on the Catholic Church in order to justify their very existence.
The Catholic Church thinks they are the keys to salvation, but I tell you, Christ is. The Catholic Church worships Mary and the saints and relics and bones without regret. That is immoral. The Catholic Church removed part of the Ten Commandments. The Catholic Church is a control freak. The Catholic Church is supporting gay marriage and allowing their church to get slowly merged with global religions.
What about the 10 commandments, the seven sacraments, confession, purgatory, limbo, and the eucharist?
Catholics teachings on salvation contradict the teachings of Jesus on salvation. Only one is true. I believe Jesus
REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AND PRAISE HIM ONLY. JESUS CHRIST WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU
And I will never abandon my saviour
Repent of your unbelief and believe Repenting of your sins doesn't save you, Right !
@@brbas33 Thank you for telling me. JESUS CHRIST is the only one who saves. I do think that when you don’t know about Christ yet, and want to accept him as your Lord and Savior, you should humbly come into repentance of your sins and tell Jesus Christ to forgive you. You are right that Jesus Christ is the only one who saves and can save.
AMEN.
^ amen
As a Catholic who wants to learn and understand the Bible better I'm looking for resources or groups where studying and learning the Bible would make it a more wholesome experience.
To my surprise, there are 5 Catholic churches where I live within a 4 mile radius. I checked with all of them and none had any Bible study groups or classes. A few weeks later one of the churches called me back and said they would have a Bible workshop. I said great, can you tell me more about it. The lady then said that a guest bishop from south America would give talks about the Bible for 2 weekends. Problem is he's giving a talk, that's not a class or study group.
For the heck of it, I checked with a Protestant church 3 miles from my house and they said they do have a Bible study/class that goes year round 3 times a week. That really blew me away. The Catholic church is the largest in the world. Have the most amount of money and resources yet they put so little effort in teaching their followers about the Bible. Actually no effort was put in by them at all.
Anyways I read the Bible myself and within a few months I never felt more complete and closer to God. The Catholic church has value to Christianity and the community. But I don't feel its essential, just like any other church. What IS essential is for one to seek God thru Jesus and read the gospel. That in itself is sufficient for salvation.
How are you getting to Heaven?
@@Henry-eh2jk Grace of God, Faith in God.
@@Mr-Clark That's not the catholic way. What about the sacraments, the ten commandments, confession, purgatory, limbo and the eucharist?
Another proud and true, loyal and deceived catholic liar.
Jesus loves you and Jesus died for your sins, too
@@Mr-Clark Only the devil and the catholic church delete the Word of God
Only the devil and the catholic church delete the Word of God.
In time's such as now. All followers of Christ must unite.
Amen to unity, Christians should not argue over whose wrong and whose right. And focus on helping people who gave up on the the whole belief in following Jesus. They give up on the whole thing probably because the only knowledge the parents that are raising new generations is bickering and trying to prove each other wrong. Instead of showing love for one another. LIKE IT IS INTENDED TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
Good to hear the new testimony is the same between all Christians ❤ have a joyful good Friday all
Those seven books that were not present in the Protestant version are 1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom and Baruch.
Luther also wanted to remove Revelations and Epistle of James. Some others with him told him to not do that. To my Protestant family, can you imagine Revelations being out of the Bible. I could remove books and add a word that coincided with my ideology of the Christian faith. Would you then accept that because you did not agree with Truth from the first and only Bible from the beginning of Christianity? As Pilate asked Jesus “What is Truth?” If you go to the Bible to find out, do you realize you do not have the Truth in Protestant Bibles? Could you change the Bible you have now and have it accepted by other Protestants? Truth seems simple, but must discern just as the Apostles did. Seemed much easier then because they personally knew Jesus. But they spoke to many who did not know Jesus. Why has the Truth of the Hebrew Bible that Jesus knew, not good enough for Christians after 1500 years? I sure don’t know nor could explain. Even I am like the Eunuch who needed an apostle to explain the Words of the Hebrew Bible so he could understand and accept Jesus as the Messiah spoken of in prophecies. Would love to have been with the two men on the road to Emmaus when Jesus, The Messiah, explained how and why the prophecies were fulfilled. Then they recognized Him in the breaking of the Bread, what we call the Holy Eucharist. Fantastic experience - another one!
It’s a separate section known as the Apocrypha. It’s recognized in the Anglican tradition as well but as shadow historical references.
I never knew there was a difference which clearly shows my ignorance. However, I have heard of the Book of Enoch; do you know why this book isn't included in the Bible?
@@user-yw8cl1tx3lHow do you know the “Greek thought” that was removed was not ideologically driven/written?
@@user-yw8cl1tx3l Luther changed his opinion on those books MULTIPLE TIMES, so you cannot definitively say that. Also, it could definitely be possible that the Catholic 7 ‘Middle Testament’ books, were added after John wrote not to add or to take away from the Word of God. Also, it was explained that what James meant was that if you don’t follow God’s teachings then your faith is worthless.
The Hebrew or Jewish Bible also does not contain the apocrypha and is considered by them as uninspired.
Thanks Father, for having explained this difference.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
Honor thy Father and thy mother? Who is this commandment for?
@@michaelblake3320 I am afraid that you have gotten entangled in limited knowledge, and do not understand, but think you do.
@@carlvaz don’t make statements you cannot explain
@@michaelblake3320 Thank you for your advice. It is quite clear to me that one cannot take literally every verse in the Bible, which you obviously do not appear to understand. So what do/did you call your earthly father?
I think there are other differences too. Years ago, a friend told me,
One Bible says "Call no man 'Father' for there is one Father & he is in Heaven."
While the other says "Call no man 'Pastor' for there is one Pastor & he is in Heaven."
I don't know Which is which. I need to read more!!
The Lord gave me, or us, the ability to be Educated & Communicate. I feel I have neglected my Education.
I believe the first is a literal translation, the second is a "churches" transalation. Personally I'd stick with the first one!
I'm told "Call no man Pastor" is the Catholic Bible!!
I'll have to confirm this, but it makes sense!!
I Agree Thom!!
Thanks.
@@thomasschwarting5108
Thank you for providing captioning on the video, but now please check the punctuation between fifty and sixty seconds where you say "As Catholics" and the punctuation doesn't indicate that that's the beginning of a new sentence.
Aside from the deuterocanonical books, is the remaining old testament books the same? I'm a Catholic, my hard copy bible is a 66 book KJV. I read other versions online. I read something from 1 John to a fellow Catholic (who I don't think reads scripture) she had a hard time accepting the verse, said it was wrong because I'm reading from a protestant bible...I guess my question is, cn a Catholic read a KJV?
Thank you. God bless you for reaching out to explain this.
Okay guys please guide me.
What is a Protestant bible and what is a catholic bible ?
As in NKJV is Protestant right ?
I’m English and I’m trying to find out which bible to purchase I’m just a little confused. I’m new to this and was thinking of getting both and reading both simultaneously
Any help is much appreciated
NKJV is a Protestant bible. To be clear the Protestants didn’t remove books. The Catholic Church added the 7 books as an official part of cannon during the council or Trent as a response to the reformation.
Unabridged or abridged………your choice. May God give you Wisdom.
@@WestwardeastProtestants are taught this falsehood, but you are wrong historically. Those 7 books were canonized by the CC in the late 4th century BEFORE the Jews had even agreed on a closed canon for the OT. All the Council of Trent did in the 16th century was to reaffirm dogmatically what numerous Catholic councils had declared previously...WITHOUT CHANGE from the 4th century....what the approved canon was. Previously, the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1440 reaffirmed the 73 book canon....Trent made it dogma because the "Reformers" had no authority to even suggest removal (it finally happened in the 19th century).. Protestants REMOVED those seven books...with NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO...biblically, historically, or any other way. Time for you to accept the truth rather than falsehoods.
@@Westwardeastso funny, every church that predates the protestant reformation has those 7 books but according to you people "nah, theh just added them to spite the protestants".
@@Westwardeast I believe the development of the Canon was which books would be included in the New Testament -- the old Testament was taken from the first Greek translation of the Hebrew septugint . As the priest said in the video, the 7 Old Testiment books were removed during the reformation, initially by Martin Luther. Luther also wanted to remove James, Revelation and others, but got push-back. So, to be clear, the video is correct.
So for the translation question, it doesn’t matter which translation you pick up when it comes to Protestant and Catholic??
It does make a difference. If you’re Catholic, you should have a Bible that is approved by the Catholic Church. There are of course several in the English language. Nowadays what makes a Bible “Catholic” is that it includes all 73 books of Sacred Scripture. Most Protestant translations nowadays only have 39 books in the Old Testament, while Catholic translations have 46. Both Protestants and Catholics have all 27 books of the New Testament.
The books that are often called deuterocanonical or “apocryphal” by Protestants and Jews are as follows: Sirach, Wisdom, Tobit, Judith, Baruch, and 1 & 2 Maccabees. These were written not long before Jesus was born in the Second Temple period.
There are also additions to Esther and Daniel not found in Protestant translations that are included in Catholic ones. Beyond that, Protestant and Catholic Bibles are mostly identical.
I really don’t think the differences are in the Bible so much as in the way it is read, interpreted, translated, and retranslated.
Thank you for the explanation. As a clarification, those 'apocrypha' are indeed read by Protestants for "example of life and instruction of manners" but we do not use them for the "establishment of doctrine". Interesting, huh?
Are these seven books what protestants refer to as the Apocrypha ?
The bibles maybe slightly different but the administration of practice is worlds apart. What's the differences between Roman Catholicism & Eastern Orthodox?

Why did you change the commandments?
Because anti Christ
shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Second commandment given by God in OT is not in most catholic bibles ? God Word is the truth not men teachings
@@krystynaglowiak9538 Can't tell your people not to make graven images when your churches are filled with graven images
All the passages about the ten commandments are the exact same in the Catholic Bible. Through the years there have been several different ways of dividing things into ten, since there are more than 10 "thou shalt/thou shalt not" statements. The Catholic division is how Augustine and many Church fathers divided the commandments. The "do not make graven images" part is included under "thou shalt have no other gods beside me." Also, I think @PD-yd3fr doesn't understand the meaning of "graven image." A graven image is specifically something that is worshipped as God or in place of God. Nobody could have nativity scenes or cross necklaces if all reverent images or statues are to be rejected.
@@alexmueller828 Many Catholic Churches keep "Relics" often bones of departed Saints. When a Jew in the times of Jesus handled a dead body (or body part) they were considered to be unclean and were prohibited to go to Temple for a week and had to be cleansed. Keeping a body part in or near an alter desecrates it, Pagans worship the dead, we worship the Living Christ
Making, praying to an Icon is a graven image, kneeling and praying to a statue is praying to a graven image
You should actually read your Bible
You do not understand what a graven image is, the Scriptures are extremely clear
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven e, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them."
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Sure looks like many catholic doctrines need help.
yea bro the only problem here is that the Catholic church put those books together.
@@RedRiverMan Yeah same old cr*p taking verses out of context again. Bad theology.
@@RedRiverMan How many of those books are written by catholics? How many of those books are written to catholics? How many of those books are written about catholics?
The Bible is the complete history of the Nation of Israel. From Genesis to the Revelation. Beginning to the return of Jesus to set up his Kingdom promised to Abraham.
The catholics have stolen and hijacked the Bible.
Luther argued that several of the New Testament had it wrong and wanted them dropped, including Hebrews, James, Jude, and the Book of Revelation. It's in James where we read that both faith and works are necessary for "salvation".
... and yet none were removed including the 7 extra books in the RC Bible. In Lutherism those 7 books are called the Apocrypha and are still available but not seen as the inspired word of God.
Faith and works are not necessary for salvation. But faith is
@@Henry-eh2jk ... That would condemn to hell the countless billions who never encountered Christianity. Why do you worship an evil god?
@@apotropoxyz6685 No it wouldn't. Why do you mock God and His Word? We are saved by Grace through faith, not of works.
But Jesus loves you and Jesus died for your sins, too.
@@Henry-eh2jk ... You can't have faith in Jesus if you never heard of him.
Understand too that Martin Luther was quite anti-semitic so his exclusion of a number of Jewish books from the OT was not surprising. One of his problems with the Church was that he believed that they were not trying hard enough to convert the Jews. If there was any doubt that his protestations against the Jewish people was nothing more than 'banter' (for lack of a better word), then the release of his book "The Jews and Their Lies' in 1543 certainly put a stop to that.
Also, I 100% believe that Jesus looks like the painting by Akiane Kramarik did when she was just 8 years old. It’s been confirmed by so many that went to heaven from a surgery or coma or some reason they died called NDE’s or Near Death Experience and each one has said when they were in heaven, that’s what he looked like. Watch the movie “Heaven is real” and it will get you started on little Colton Burpo is his name and when he was in heaven, that’s who he spoke to and he confirmed his looks when his dad, a pastor, was flipping through pictures and when he came past the pic of the painting Akiane did, he said that’s what he looks like. Then I had a NDE from Covid and that’s who I held hands with as we walked and talked. Completely changed my life after that. Praise Jesus and I love him❤️🥰🙏
How come only some people see these things when they have near death experiences. When majority of people say they seen nothing even many Christians. You can’t take people’s words for it, they are going to see what they want to see.
@@Ace-mw9pm I don’t know why most others don’t see him. I just know when your body has something happen and near death, the lord uses that to show them either taking them home or most have said he gave them a choice but he still had work for them on earth. For me, I was not walking on the same or righteous path for many years and when we walked, he and I spoke about how he’s always near me and would not ever leave me. He was right behind my right side and when I ran ahead and seeing if he would be there, I stopped, turned around and there he was. He never left me. It changed me in a profound way and it got me back on the right path. Even family and friends say they could see a complete change in how I am after that. Here’s one thing from my Covid experience: I had been given a high chance of not making it through the night in the ER by the doc. During of which I was in the hospital for 3 days and on that 3rd day, I woke up with the Covid doctor and team doing all the tests they could like chest X-ray, blood labs, renal output etc, and on that 3rd day the Covid doctor I had came in and said she was here when I came in and saw how bad I was and she could not find anything in my body that would show I ever even had Covid. It was as if it was erased from my body. Most patients, she said, stay at least a couple weeks or more as bad as I was. She discharged me that afternoon. “3 DAYS”! Almost like it took 3 days for Jesus to die and come to life. It baffles me why he would do that for me and the doctor said she had no medical answer other than it had to be of God. I think that too. That’s my story and I feel I’m not looking for anyone to believe it so I now go on in my life knowing I was given a miracle. I weep when I was given that when there are others out there that are worst off than I or far more deserving then me that they should have gotten that miracle. So I always ask… Why me?
All NDE’s I hear about seem to have a commonality. That they believe in the lord and that he’s not just some fictional person in a book of stories. It makes it more believable when I read scriptures that I know what he looks like. I sometimes feel like I let him down but I read a daily devotion the other day that said we could never let him down and he has more grace than we know.
@@Ken-xn3rk give me a description of what Jesus looked like.
@@Ace-mw9pm he looks just like the picture that Akiane Kramarik painted called “Prince of Peace”. You can google it. It’s been what most NDE survivors have agreed it looks like him.
So the Protestants removed from the Bible. Doesn’t Revelation say not to do that? Do those seven books contain anything significant that changes things dramatically or is it all minor differences? This is kind of a big deal I should think.
Well, think on this the Bible is a library of books and that warning is for Revelation alone. All the Old Testament books were kept in the Temple, the seven mentioned were not as the Jews did not consider them divinely inspired.
@@annodomini7250 how do you know the warning in revelation pertains only to that book? I always believed it pertained to the entirety of God’s word
@@davestrongman9519 Revelation is a prophecy, if anybody adds or takes from the book/prophecy. Do you think the Bible was always all together, do you think John had a complete Bible on Patmos and then added it to the end? Read Revelation in context.
@@annodomini7250 yeah that’s what I thought
I find it hard to believe that the Apocrypha is the main difference between the two.
For starters, the original manuscripts are gone (withered away?....lost?...burned?.......2000 years is a long time).
Since there were no Copy machines back then, a new church had a person (scribe) do the "copying" by hand from another church. At the same time, the "copying" involved understanding the intention of the original author and the scribe determining how the members of the new church were to make sense of it. That is, even though they maybe spoke the same language, the region used certain words that did not have the exact same meaning so the scribes, most likely, used their "local" words.
As I understand it, those who came up with the King James Version used manuscript "copies" that had been made 4 centuries before. Were these "copies" the same ones that were used for the Catholic English version?
If you place Bible verses side-by-side (Catholic verse on one side and KJB on the other), do they use the same exact words?
No, there are many omissions in newer versions of the Bible. Unfortunately the catholic church doesn’t have real biblical study which we are commanded to do. 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
And consider -
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Hello, I just want to point out that we catholics do study the Bible. Actually, discussion is one of the main activities we do during cathecism, vigiles, when we gather to pray the rosary and some even like to discuss it one on one with the priest during confession. If you approah a priest, I have yet to find one that doesn't welcome questions and different perspectives on the Bible. I know there is that myth that catholics do not analyse or discuss the Bible but at least that is not my experience. I mean, the fact the conciles even exist is prove that the Bible is discussed. You may say that only the highest ranked priest attend conciles and such, and that is true, but that doesn't mean the rest of the Church is not present. We are in the sense that outside we keep discussing and our concerns are brought through the bishops, archbishops and cardinals, etc. But that is just for topics and situations that need a definitive solution. Discussion happens in all levels of the hierarchy and is pretty much horizontal most of the time. Only those things that are pressing get a definitive solution and those are meant to keep the Church united. There is a good balance (in my opinion) between horizontality and verticality in the Church structure.
I hope this helps. Sorry if the writing is not perfect. English is not my first language, but I tried my best. I know at times when writing my tone can seem a bit cold. Sorry for that. I love reading protestant perspectives, even if I do not agree all the time and obviuosly not in every topic. Thank you very much.
*Note: by Church I mean the entirety of catholics, not the ordained priests only (or the buildings, for that matter).@@gregoryt8792
If the protestant removed part of the bible for being too Greek, then they should remove the whole new testament lol.
Wit all due respect, The Catholic Church ADDED the 7 books as an official part of cannon during the council or Trent as a response to the reformation. May we journey in our oneness and not our differences.
Those books were removed because there are things in them that don't agree with the rest of the Bible. Look it up.
@@garyhelms3467 With all due respect, Christians ADDED the trinity as the official narrative during the council of Nicea as a response to ease tensions between Christians and pagans.
@@julienielsen3746 The fact that people choose to add and remove books proves the bible is a corrupted book.
LOL as that was not the reason.
Actually the Protestants went back to the Hebrew Bible for the Old Testament and that is why the additional 7 books that the Roman Catholic Bible has have not been included.
The verses for getting saved are the same almost word for word! So……let’s all unite for Christ! Try to reach the 6 billion people who are lost!
I like that attitude. But let's not forsake the truth or else the rest of it is worthless.

@@jmdsservantofgod8405
And let's not forget to pick up our crosses and follow Jesus commandments to love God and neighbor.
Those seven books were written during the 400 year period in which everyone agreed that God remained silent without any recognized prophet. None of these books also do not claim to have God speaking in any way such as “Thus says the Lord”. Finally, the writing style is quite different from the other 66 books and has a noticeable lack of spiritual authority to it!
Dear Bishop
Because you read only interprétation of scholars as Matthew,Paul,Luke etc
Ok. SO, where are catholic Bible's? Which version is on display for sale? I want to see the 7 books, that are REMOVED from every version of the Bible I've ever seen.
Ask at a Christian book store.
Catholic book stores sell them.
Google maps is your friend
Thanks Father; sad for the Protestants, No Miracles, No Exorcisms, No Reading the Gospel of John Chapter 6.
So we’re not going to mentions the Ten Commandments….👀
I Got New Testament Bible and The Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
It's more than that: ALL the ancient Churches, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Orthodox use the entire Bible. It was Martin Luther who removed the Deuterocanonical Books from the Old Testament. Even the Original King James Bible included all the books of the Old Testament. The present KJV came out in 1788 and removed the Deuterocanonical books.
Dr. Luther did not remove the 7 books - he reclassified them in the Apocrypha which still is published in German Bibles. I have Bibles from my grandparents that include those 7 books after the Old Testament.
@johnmarquardt1991 Martin Luther also removed the Book of James from the New Testament because he objected to St. James' verse, "Faith without works is dead." If you search you can find scans of German Bibles without the Deuterocanonical books and without the Epistle of St. James.
@@user-kb1gk6ty2v It's still there. He said he would like to remove it which is entirely different than removing it. Stop telling lies.
@@johnmarquardt1991TODAY it's there, but there are German editions of the Bible from the late 1700s and earlier that do not have the 7 books nor the Book of James. Martin Luther re-invented Christianity in his image.
@@johnmarquardt1991 I'm telling the truth.
The extra books have stuff in it that contradicts some of the scripture in the 66 books of the Bible and that’s why they were taken out. The extra books were not inspired by God.
What are the contradictions? Please
But are those 7 books part of the Jewish Bible? What is the Jewish position on them? Just asking...
The OT was kept in the Temple, the 7 were not as they were not considered divinely inspired.
Do they point to Jesus?
Jews in the time of Jesus didnt have a canon back then, they defined their cannon as a response for Catholics who were doing their canon. So to use the Jewish canon, you’re using the canon of the Jews that denied Jesus, cause the Jews who accepted Jesus were the Catholics
I’ve come to realize in addition to 7 books there are 3300 verse variants as well and in some cases deliver a totally different message. Just saying.
As you are just saying, it helps to get your facts right, only 3300 verse variants? and they deliver a totally different message, really? you need to do some real study, just saying. By the way your 3300 verse variants where are they OT or NT or in the 7 books? You do read in the original languages I assume?

Those seven books were NEVER in the original Old Testament/Torah. The Catholics added them later on. Do your research, they’re called the apocrypha

When Sunday Christianity finally finds out, (or admits) the commandments are not the law of Moses, a remnant will arise, to sainthood by keeping the commandments of God.
Rev. 14:12, 22:14.
Note to catholicism:
This is at the very end of the Bible you canonized, bless your mortal hearts.
They were removed because there are things in them that don't agree with the rest of God's Word.
If you would provide just a few examples, I’d appreciate it. My understanding has always been that Luther adopted the official Jewish canon (aka Tanakh), which excluded traditionally accepted scriptures for which there was no known extant copy in Hebrew. I point this out because there are other previously accepted books, such as the Book of Enoch, which the Catholic Church herself later officially rejected on the grounds you just mention for the so-called deuterocanonical works.

To clear up confusion about the what church is established, guided, and directed by the Lord himself one only needs to look at the church he began when Jesus Christ lived on the earth. He has said "One Faith, One Lord, One Baptism" Not 10,20, etc different churches and different beliefs. When Jesus was on the earth he established a church with Specific callings (Apostles - Prophets, Seventy, Elders, Bishops, Patriarchs, Deacons, Teachers, Priests), he also has the Priesthood Authority given from Jesus to his Apostles and others in the Church, He had Revelation or Communication between God and man for the directly of the Church as a whole, and finally it was his church or "The Church of Jesus Christ" versus someone elses church whether Lutheran, Catholic, St Peter, Methodist, etc. That Church fell away over a short time after the Apostles were killed and the church that he established was no longer on the earth. We had the Catholic church begain at the Council of Nicea and other Prostantant churches form in the 1700's. What was needed was a complete Restoral or Restoration of Christs original church and all its tenants. That Church was restored back to the earth in the early 1800's by Christ himself and Prophets and known today again as "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has that Priesthood power restored (See church History of restoration of the Priesthood), Same callings and positions in the Church ((Apostles - Prophets, Seventy, Elders, Bishops, Patriarchs, Deacons, Teachers, Priests), and Living Prophets today on the earth that receive Revelation or Communication from God for the direction of his church. Furthermore, the Lord has give us additional scripture to draw us closer to Jesus Christ per the Book of Mormon, D&C and Pearl of Great Price. You dont' have to take my word for it but one can reach the Book of Mormon, Learn about his church and pray to God for answer and confirmation if one is earnest. Again, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is his Kingdom once again restored back to the earth preparatory to his second coming.
Man, that's a whole lotta lies, Jesus established the catholic church. Said church was not lost or repressed for years as that would mean almost 1800 years of people failed to follow Christ's real church. So Jesus who founded his church did it wrong as it would take one of his own actions failing in order to say this making it so all those people had it wrong and a couple of random people out of nowhere in the 1800s got it right? Really, that's so hard to believe it's outrageous. That belief system requires arguing that Jesus made a mistake or that God failed to keep his church around through his people. Clearly that's insane, God doesn't make mistakes or fail.
Not only that but Good is the only one who could get things right, not youre people. God is perfect, we aren't.
So you believe that no one was able to be saved after the apostles died until the 1800s? I don’t see a loving God damning the souls of billions of people for almost 2000 years because they didn’t have the option to find the truth
The Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church ❤. Around 110A.D Saint Ignatius of Antioch used, for the first time in Christian literature, the expression “catholic church,” meaning the whole church that is one and the same wherever there is a Christian congregation. ❤I am proud to be Catholic ❤I am proud to be Catholic ❤️

When king James authorize the translation of the holy Bible (1611) he kept the format of the original tongues in which it was written; he compared former translations. The 1560 Geneva Bible is one of those translations according to Hebrew and Greek text. Both of these versions contained old, testament, apocrypha, and New Testament. ALL 80 books.

Is 1 Timothy 4 legit?
Difference between a Catholic Mass and a Lutheran service=zero.
But the thing is, there is no evidence for Mariology in Either Testament. Yes Mary is there, but not Roman Catholic Mariology. Protestants believe Jesus is the only Intercessor between Man and God. Catholics don’t believe this. There are too many differences between The Roman Catholic Faith and Protestant Faith to share the same Faith.
@Joseph-Haddad What things changed? There’s no evidence that Christ stopped interceding for us.
@Joseph-Haddad I know it can be difficult and even shocking, to learn that something you were taught and believed was not just a mistake, but a lie. But I won’t lie to you. That verse in that chapter says nothing about Jesus sharing the task of intercession with Believers who’ve past on before us. Not at all. It doesn’t even imply or allude to such a thing.
Who ever taught you that Past saints intercede for us who remain on Earth, did so out of Ignorance of Scripture or by design, but it is just not true.
That whole chapter is about how we should conduct ourselves as Saved individuals knowing that We have an avenue to Heave in Jesus Christ, even the Lord God Himself, that those in the past did not Have as when God appeared in Fire and Smoke on a Mountain in the Old Testament, and people could not approach or touch That Mountain without fear of Death!
Knowing now that we are in the Presents of Heavenly wittinesses from Past Saints to Angels and even God Himself, even though we are still on Earth, we should conduct ourselves accordingly.
But it says nothing about Jesus Sharing his authority to intercede between Man and GOD with ANYONE else. This is not the only Scripture that the RCC has misrepresented to try to make them fit their narrative. Yes we can pray to intercede on behalf of each other who are alive as Paul instructed us, but there is one Intercessor between Mankind and God and that is Jesus Christ our only High Priest. That will never change according to Scripture. ( Hebrews 7:25 and Hebrews 4: 14-16)
@Joseph-Haddad My friend, Hebrews 12:23 doesn’t imply or even allude to Jesus giving His authority to Intercede to anyone else. Sorry but you’ve been Mislead. It just means we here on Earth are not alone to live out our Struggles to preach and live out the life Christ wants us to live.
@Joseph-Haddad Sorry my bad. Spell check? I meant Jesus never gave anyone who may be in Heaven the Authority to Intercede for anyone. Not according to this scripture.
Second Timothy 2:11-13 When we are resurrected we will sit in Judgment of Angels and With Christ, we will Rule over creation. We will share what He has. Even now, As Christ reigns over our lives, we too can have reign over Sin in our own Lives and in other aspects we can Share the Gospel as Jesus did.
The Protestant bible was edited by King James..... Didn't want to give Rome any more money 😂

I'm a former Christian, now a skeptic, but this is what I've always thought. As far as I'm concerned, Christian belief is Jesus came, Jesus died, believers - Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Methodists etc - are saved. (Jury still out on Mormons 😂) OK, so I don't believe this anymore, but that's my view for what it's worth.

Yep...sounds very sketchy to b in any religion. Especially when u don't even know if you're reading the true bible!!! I'll never understand the hardcore people in their particular faith....u may not even b believing the real truth!!! Open your minds people!!! No ONE religion is the RIGHT religion. Just b kind and do your best. Don't give your life over to men who wanna control u.
Jesus said to Thomas in John 14:6 “I’m the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me”. Not my mother Mary or Saint so and so, ME. Christ alone, Scripture alone, Faith alone, Grace alone. Any prayer offered other than to Jesus himself, simply bounces off the ceiling and comes back to you. That’s why I left the Catholic Church. If it’s Jesus plus works is, what it takes to get to heaven then we’d all fail. It’s Christ and Christ alone. “Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow”.
Jesus showed contempt for the Bible war god Yahweh and in Corinthians it says those who follow Mosaic law still have a veil over their heart. I think it was a slap in the face and a blasphemy that we let the Roman Empire put Jesus into a Bible of the old Covenant. Not that there's anything wrong with that for people who belong to that. But what happened in ancient history should stay as ancient history. Jesus came to change history and the reason why we're so divided and messed up today is because people think Christianity is too liberal so they want to revert back to Pharisees Sadducees Old Testament
I'm pentecostal, non cahtolic, but the new catholic bible is surprisingly accurate at times when most other english bibles are not on certain scriptures. oh Jesus just kissed me.

The real bible is The Word of God it still has the complete Exodus 20. The catholics have chosen graven images over obedience to God's original 10 Commandments. The catholic bible is altered to reflect the doctrines of men.
I’m curious about all the books that were left out of the Bible.

Correct, until they felt comfortable enough to toss them completely. Proceed gingerly with your rebellion or you will lose the masses. That's the only reason Luther didn't tamper with the NT.
@@bridgefin The Bibles my grandparents had in the US as 1st generation Americans had the Apocrypha in the middle. That changes when Bibles were translated into English in the US. Many Confessional Lutherans have a separate copy of the Apocrypha in their home library

Why were those books in the middle when they were canonized as part of the OT? The middle was on its way out the door. Today, you won't find any Protestant canon (that I am aware of) with 46 books including these 7 books.
I’m telling you do not contact and do not consult with dead people other than our Lord Jesus Christ who is the only one way to our Father God in Heaven.
No such thing as a protestant or catholic bible, there's just one bible, one scripture, one Christ.. it's by the guidance of the spirit of God that the bible is.. any books other than the 66 books, is good enough for God, and should be, good enough for all..

We know. The King James is the Bible God gave us, and all catholic bibles came from the man of sin in Rome, and come from the Alexandrian gnostic corrupt texts.
Let's see. The Catholics added 7 books to the OT that even the Jews don't consider canon in their own Tanakh. Even Paul writes that the Jews were entrusted to the holy oracles.
Romans 3
1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

There was no Jewish authority and no authorized canon agreed to by all Jews. Besides not all of the OT is Jewish scripture. And the Jews had a universal mission so they belonged to all. Now back to my point which you did not refute:

The most egregious change in the catholic canon is the removal of God's hand written 2nd commandment condemning the making or praying to graven images.
I have issues with Catholics that are different. I was saved in a Protestant church (assembly of God) and was taught when you sin against another person, you have to get their forgiveness because they were the one that was offended by the sin. But what I don’t believe is when you sin, it’s not a catholic priest you should be asking forgiveness, you didn’t sin against them. So how can they forgive you in that regard. The other thing is when you’ve finished talking to the catholic priest (for lack of a better term), they have you saying how many Hail Marys or lords prayers etc… that doesn’t cleanse you of your sins, that’s just memorizing what they said to repeat. And I’ve known some teammates in my army unit that were catholic that drank to get drunk and slept with women etc and when I asked them later about their walk with the lord and how can they do this knowing it’s a sin, they just replied it was ok cause they’ll just ask the priest for forgiveness in mass and clean slate the whole thing so they could keep doing it for another week. I just put that in the category that maybe their relationship with our Lord may not be good. I’m not perfect and I am a sinner. I will sin till the day I die, because we are human and not perfect. But in my relationship with the a lord, I strive to pray to him and work on not committing sin knowing I will never be perfect, Jesus was.
Jesus - son of god

@@annodomini7250 Look them up yourself. There are scriptures on God the Father. There are scriptures on Jesus the Son, there are scriptures on The Holy Spirit. The first chapter of John tell us that Jesus is God. John 10:30 Jesus says the Father and I are One. The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of God. All three are One. - Really a person has to be really stupid, and read Gods Word and not see that.
The fundamental beliefs are the same. The Father, the Son, The Holy Spirit.
Those 7 books contradict the rest of the Bible
apocrypha = doubtful authenticity but circulated as true
deutero (second or beside) canon = Scripture or Word of God
Jesus and all NT writers and apostles never quote from these. only from the Hebrew Bible or legitimate OT. God was silent 400 yrs as Malachi is last prophet before John the Baptist to herald Jesus.
Thier is no difference- both a work of fiction. A bit like Harry Potter. Grow up folks - OWN YOUR LIFE
THE BIBLE SHOULD BE ALL THE SAME IN ALL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES!!! WHY IS THIS NOT THE CASE??? MAKES MY RAISE QUESTION ABOUT ALL OF RELIGIONS TODAY!!!!!!!!
The Confession provided the rationale for the exclusion: 'The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon of the Scripture, and therefore are of no authority in the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings
There is no reason for them to be in the real true Bible! They are NOT God inspired.
This time period is often referred to as “The Silent Years.” Because none of the Apocryphal books were written by a recognized prophet of God, they cannot be placed on the same level as the Old Testament Scriptures, all of which were authored by a prophet such as Moses, Samuel, Daniel, or Jeremiah.
But the Catholic s insist on including them in “their “ bible which is not sound biblical truth.
So they can't even agree with each other, this proves the bible was written by men not god.
Well Pat, here is the problem the Bible is not a book, it is a library of books. The OT was kept in the Temple and was considered sacred the 7 books mentioned were not considered sacred so were not kept in the Temple, the Catholic mistake included them, take away the 7, the Bibles are the same. God actually did write nothing, God used men.

The catholic bible will lead you to hell, while the Protestant bible will lead you to Jesus Christ who alone can save you, that’s a big difference, the Roman Catholic Bible is the wrong Jesus Christ, why it’s because it’s a Jesus ++mary saints and ritual sacraments to be saved, while the Protestant Bible is Jesus Christ alone is needed to be saved, that is a big difference. Just bark to one tree, not to manny so called trees!
The difference between catholic and protestant. Protestants believe faith in Christ is enough and catholics believe faith in Mary and Jesus is required.
Mary’s intercession is not only useful but necessary for salvation: St. Alphonsus Liguori.
St. Alphonsus de Liguori IT is impossible for clients of Mary to be damned, if they faithfully honor her and commend themselves to her.
St. Anselm "Just as it is impossible for persons to be saved who have no devotion to Mary and are not protected by her, so it is impossible for any who recommend themselves to her, and are therefore watched over by her, to be lost
St. Albert the Great: All those who are not your servants, O Mary, shall perish.
St. Bonaventure: Those who neglect our Lady will die in their sins. Those who do not call on you in life will never get to Heaven.
St. Ephrem calling devotion to our Blessed Lady the charter (or passport) to liberty, and Mary herself the protectress of the damned. Mary has both the power and the will to save us.
Father Alfonso Alvarez claimed the devil told him to "Give up your devotion to Mary, and I will leave you alone."
St. Catherine of Siena claimed God told her, "No one, not even sinners, who devoutly recommend themselves to her, would ever fall into Hell"
Blessed Henry Suso I put his soul in Mary's hands. Therefore, if his Judge wished to condemn him to Hell, her most loving hands would have to handle the sentence.
St. Bonaventure: "In you, O Lady, I have placed all my hopes." I have therefore the utmost assurance that I shall never be lost, but shall praise and love you forever in Heaven.
St. Antonine let all tremble for their salvation who make but small account of their devotion to the Mother of God, or grow careless and give it up: it is impossible for anyone not protected by Mary to be saved
Is faith in Mary required for salvation?
