Why does the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only 66? With both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and why?

none, the bible is written some 1500 years ago by people...
The difference between catholics and protestants: (You can watch the movie Martin Luther.) The priest Martin Luther objected to the catholic belief because they allowed people to pay for the priests to praying for dead souls. The priests said that if you are praid for, you'll get a better "life" in heaven. Rich people paid and paid, tons of gold, jewlery and stuff. Poor people also spent their money on this in spite of the fact that they were ill and hungry. This is why he protested.

Why do you worry about technical stuff? I know this strategy for I have used it in the past. I tried to make sense of everything that did not make sense so that I could justify my belief and point fingers. I don't make up stuff. You chose to believe it or not. It is your choice. G-- knows whether I tell the truth or not. I did not ask for this, or maybe I did, I just didn't expect it to be like this. Now, my goal is to share with anyone who wants to here it. I am new at this. I don't claim to be anything but a follower of G-- holding Jesus' hand.

Back up and start with the Torah, which is the oldest version that the Catholics used. Then work your way back. You'll see the differences in interpretation by each "copier" all the way down to today's modern bibles. As to which one is true...or to be believed... That's up to you depending on which interpretation sits best with you.

Some religions have more to attract more people saying look we have more so our religion must be better. Why do the mormons claim that their founder was in contact with God, they have a whole seperate book.

Just goes to show that God botherers are on a hiding to nothing and deluding themselves.
