Why is it that the latin vulgate bibles, differ much in Genesis, about the seed of the woman that crushes the head of the serpent. Every other bible identifies this as a man (Jesus)
but not so the catholic bible, compare:

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

Genesis 3:15 (King James Version)

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel

Genesis 3:15 (New International Version)

And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

Genesis 3:15 (New American Standard Bible)

And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel."

you first must be celebate that I know. But do you need to attend university first to get a degree in theology before entering the seminary. What letters would you have after your name for example Rt Rev Mgr David Gemmel VG, MTh. What do those intitials stand for?
Please no rude answers thank you.

When someone like Mother Theresa or Desmond Tutu pray to Jesus, are they really praying to the same Jesus as someone like Pat Robertson or Fred Phelps? Or is it two entirely different entities who answer those prayers? -- one a being of Love, the other a being of Hate?

I left Christianity a year ago (meaning that I don't believe in your Jesus and Holy Spirit) but I still believe in God.

In your eyes, who is this God that I believe in? Is he your God too? I'm just curious about what you think.

Okay so I have a question.
I am a Catholic, and in the Christian religion we believe
that Jesus Christ is the messiah. However, I also know that
Judaism teaches that Jesus was only a prophet, and that the messiah has not yet come.

I know that Hinduism doesn't even recognize
Jesus at all, and neither does Islam.

So what I'm asking is, how can we all be right?
If Judaism were correct, that would mean Christianity is incorrect. And if Christianity were correct, that would mean Judaism is incorrect. I just can't bring myself to think that other religions are "wrong". I have just been taught that they are different. But ONE OF US has to be wrong! We cannot all be factually correct!

How can we explain this?

Could it be that Gandhi, a Hindu, and Mother Theresa, a Catholic, were worshiping the same God of love and compassion?

Could it be that Fred Phelps, a Christian, and Osama Bin Laden, a Muslim, are worshiping the same God of hate and intolerance?

Christians, kuffaar and that you will imitate their bad deeds?

As per Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, who said this is according to "The Qur'aan, Sunnah and ijmaa (scholarly consensus)", Al-Tirmidhi, Imaam Ibn Abd al-Barr.

Have a nice day.

Is this why Christians say it is ok to kill and torture because Jesus also said when you are wronged to turn the other cheek, so he will forgive them all their sins?

Like - "We gave the world the Bible"

The Catholic Church did not form officially until 325 A.D. They did not complete their cannon and translation until a generation later.

The writings of the church fathers and the complaining of Augustine about all the different translations prove that the Bible was very widely distributed long before the Catholics showed up with their Latin Vulgate.

So what is up with the bogus claims of giving the world the Bible. This claim is totally discredited by the facts of history.

I see alot of atheists in here. By definition that means you have proven to yourself that god is impossible. I'd like to understand your argument. Please help me by using facts that I can research.

you find this special circumstance to be curious?

Funny how we will NOT explain something that is inconvenient or in contradiction to OUR beliefs,

How do you reason with this when it comes to a diety, God or Gods?

I believe it was because of the slaughter of thousands of animals each year to use as burnt offerings. The temple compound was like a large slaughter house, people came from hundreds of miles to give offerings. The money changers were the dealers in animals and feed for them.Yeshua/Jesus tried to stop them!
