What is the difference between the Roman Catholic Holy Bible and King James version of bible ?

Answer 1

I'm not religious but I think that they are different translations from one another.

Answer 2

The differences are only a few minor phrases and a body of literature called the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha is comprised of books that were originally not considered as authoritative as the Old Testament itself. When the the world was helenized by Alexander the Great and Greek was the universal language, then, much like English is today, Jewish scholars translated the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek. They then added to it, as a sort of addendum, the books of the Apocrypha. The Roman Catholic Church decided to include those books in their Bible around the time of the Protestant Reformation. They remain there to this day. Bible believing protestants, prefer to leave the Apocrypha out as it was never accepted by the ancient Hebrews and was never a part of the original Hebrew Old Testament. So, King Jimmie's crew, when translating the Bible into English, actually used the same books that were accepted by the early church prior to 500 A.D. to make up the "protestant" Bible that we have today. Thus it does not include the books of the Apocrypha. Other than that there are few differences in the actual translations of the two Bibles. Hope that helps.

If you're Roman Catholic, read your Bible. You'll be blown away at how far away the Roman Catholic Church has gotten from what the Early Church truly believed. You will soon realize that being able to read the Bible for oneself is what started the Protestant Reformation. The need for Reformation still screams today.

Peace.

Answer 3

1. The translations are different.

2. The number of books in the Old Testament is different.

The New Testament canon of the Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible are the same.

The difference in the Old Testaments actually goes back to the time before and during Christ’s life. At this time, there was no official Jewish canon of scripture.

The Jews in Egypt translated their choices of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the second century before Christ. This translation, called the Septuagint, had wide use in the Roman world because most Jews lived far from Palestine in Greek cities. Many of these Jews spoke only Greek.

The early Christian Church was born into this world. The Church, with its bilingual Jews and more and more Greek-speaking Gentiles, used the books of the Septuagint as its Bible. Remember the early Christians were just writing the documents what would become the New Testament.

After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, with increasing persecution from the Romans and competition from the fledgling Christian Church, the Jewish leaders came together and declared its official canon of Scripture, eliminating seven books from the Septuagint.

The Christian Church did not follow suit but kept all the books in the Septuagint.

1500 years later, Protestants decided to change its Old Testament from the Catholic canon to the Jewish canon. The books they dropped are sometimes called the Apocrypha.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

The Protestant King James bible is missing 7 books from the Old Testament which were thrown out by an ex-Catholic monk named Martin Luther. That is the origin of Protestant tradition.
