Missing? My Roman Catholic Bible has added one, a Psalm 151. Like the other added books, it was never accepted by the ancient Jews, and does not belong in the Bible.

Doggone it!
Once upon a time I actually knew which one it was, but save my life I cannot recall it.
It wasn't actually "removed" per se.
It was "edited".
There was one that was "split up"....and added to from one source and edited from another.
Therefore making it an EXTRA psalm in the Catholic Bible.

One of the 10 Commandments was done the same way.

Trust me on this one. I've actually got info on that one downstairs but kind of disposed at the moment. If you really wish to know, drop me an email and I'll go dig it out for you.

Oh, just a note, the Bible at one time was ENORMOUS.

The CHURCH......being the Roman Catholic Church....did major "cutting and pasting" of the Bible. It was the Church that decided what was and what was not included in the Bible in the FIRST PLACE The church decided everything pertaining to the Christian Religion. After the declaration of the King James Version, the worst translation of the Bible ever done in history, many religions other than Roman Catholicism, went back and re-edited. Some were good....some were not so good.

An interesting book to read is THE OTHER BIBLE. It contains quite a few of the complete chapters of the Bible that have since been COMPLETELY REMOVED from it.

Huh? I'm not aware of any missing pslams in the Catholic Bible. The Catholic Bible differs from the protestant Bible in that it has more books.

151

Actually, the Catholic Church didn't add any books or verses....the Protestant groups took out the ones they didn't like.

151 was removed by the Protestants also.

You Protestant Bible Scholars should actually study the history of the Bible and how it came to be and its subsequent evolution and development.

P.S. Dear PEACH: Your scholarship and advise is interesting. If its all on par with the 10 Commandments comment I guess we can dismiss it all.

What you are referring to, in fact, is not a changing of the 10 Commandments, or one being changed or split or whatever. The 10 Commandments appear in the Books of Moses TWICE. Yes, two different places.

First we see them in Exodus Chapter 20 when they were given to Moses. We see them a second time in Deuteronomy where they are also called the Decalogue. However, in Deuteronomy they are worded and divided just a slight bit differently, however in both places all 10 are there and intact. That would be the difference you've heard of no doubt, since the Protestants usually go by the ones in Exodus and Catholics memorize the Decalogue.

Okay - my Protestant bible has 18 verses in Chapter 83 but my Catholic bible has 19 verses

between verses 4-11 the Catholic bible breaks it out differently

Protestant (from http://www.biblegateway.com/)
4 "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel be remembered no more."
5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you-
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebal, [a] Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
to lend strength to the descendants of Lot.
Selah
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor
and became like refuse on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

For the Catholic one (and the website I got this from is http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible)

4 They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect.
5 They say, "Come, let us wipe out their nation; let Israel's name be mentioned no more!"
6 They scheme with one mind, in league against you:
7 The tents of Ishmael and Edom, the people of Moab and Hagar,
8 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.
9 Assyria, too, in league with them gives aid to the descendants of Lot. Selah
10 3 Deal with them as with Midian; as with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent Kishon,
11 Those destroyed at Endor, who became dung for the ground.


Hope it helps.

Plural Psalms, giving plural praise, to plural LORDs, tends to be gruesome (twoedged sword executing judgmental vengeance on both scape-goats and dumb-sheep); Gruesome, whether it's Jewish, Roman Catholic, or Protestant flavored Psalms. In the words of Solomon, it's "all vanity and vexation of spirit"; all vanity when law added to grace is sufficient, making it no more grace; all vexation when death added to life, making it no more eternal.

Not to mention Jesus quoted from Psalm 22 on the cross, saying "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me"; Which indicates two Gods is not only one too many Gods, but it results in forsaken. Perhaps we should all have one God, the higher one of high/higher Gods, the grace us one of law/grace, the God of all grace, the only true God of false/true Gods, the only wise God of foolish/wise Gods, the living God of dead/living Gods, that God of this/that Gods, the blessed and only Potentate of such law/grace.

The "grace"(God) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
