Answer 2

The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version

With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company

IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.

Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.

The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.

The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.

The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.

One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.

The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.

Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.

Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Answer 3

I know I'm going to be attacked here now but although the message in the bible is a good one it's not really "the bible" anyway if you you look at just how many times it has been re written edited and changed of the centurys you can be sure that it is not the pure word of God anyways, historically some of the places in there would not have exsisted or exsisted when events were supposed to happen, teh jews even edited the bible to make Jesus seem more jewish, King John changed the bible, as did the Romans and many others, it has been used as a tool to minapulate and suppress and falsely shown as the pure word of God, if God was there and you want to belive him, why would you need a book to tell you there rules, you'd feel the sense of right and wrong and be in tune with God and why don't people ever question why the Native Americans and Australians knew nothing about jesus's God, why did it take the invavsion of Europeans to tell them about God? So my advice don't listen and make your own mind up, if you do belive in God then feel him rather than be told how to feel him

Answer 4

Point taken. I read the Bible, but it is nasty when people quote it to you in a judgemental or self-righteous way.

Maybe you could find a quote in it yourself, to use against these people that annoy you.

Somewhere in the N.T. there is a passage where JC turns up at a house and "when he heard what they were arguing about, he left". The Bible is not there to be a weapon-of-mass-patronisation.

Answer 5

Hi Vlad!

You know if you're in school (don't know how old you are - but let's pretend :) ) and you had to write an essay on e.g. the sociological development of a young child - now to write a good essay full of research results etc you would have to quote from certain books! Well it's the same here - if you ask a question in the religious section of Yahoo Answers then expect people to back up their claims from the Holy books of their religion whether it be the Bible, TaNaKh, Qu'ran etc

BTW you 'stake' your life not knowing God and His purposes for mankind ;)

Answer 6

Get yourself a copy of 'God Delusion' or 'The Blind Watchmaker', both by Richard Dawkins....and send passages from these books to anyone who quotes the bible....these books have been well written, researched and can be verified as truthful, unlike that pathetic book used by you know who....

Answer 7

Awww, Vlad! I'm so sorry that's happening to you! I promise from now on I'll start quoting the Havamal at least once a day. Or the Voluspa. Then you won't get bored. Our writings are much more interesting (and strangely less violent...hmmmm...) than theirs.

Yes, they can think. Some of them (some, not all) just choose not to. It's their choice, tho...

Answer 8

One way or the other, ideas or opinion has some beginning or development.
To have your opinion backed by the Bible would indeed show solid ground.

I've talked to people that has had some wild ideas, but with time it finally floats up what made them develop that opinion and what it was based on

Answer 9

Your bored because they keep quoting the some ole out dated bible.

Now if you heard quots from my bible you cound'nt wait to hear another one

Answer 10

Then go forth and multiple! Ask many questions but only answer with Yeah or Nay!
