Catholics and Christians views on Bible?

Question

My friend and I are discussing about the Bible and she comes to me as if she fully understands every detail of it. For me, I still think that no one in this world fully understands the Bible and there are still hidden messages written on It. I'm a Roman Catholic and she's a Born-again Christian, I don't know if this has something to do with our religion. What do you guys think?

You all are givng me good answers so far. Keep them all coming.

Answer 1

you will have different views based upon your upbringing and life experiences. something can mean one thing to me and another thing to another. it's the basic tennants of the Bible that must hold true -- God, Jesus life, death & ressurection, the second coming of Christ.

i agree that while some feel they know everything there is to know about the bible -- no one ever will fully while on this earth. look at how words have changed over the years.... intercourse -- now i'm sure you're thinking it's the sexual act.... in the 1800's it was conversation!!

she may understand some things better then you if it's part of her life experience, while you might know some better yourself. i look at it this way - we're standing face to face talking, the lights go out, we stand still and God speaks and tells us - turn to your right and walk.... we continue walking and eventually guess what - we end up back together. we have both taken different paths, however we both followed God's word.

God Bless!!

Answer 2

I was raised in the Catholic church, and now I am a Born-Again Christian. I have learned through my journey that it is very hard to fully understand the Bible word for word. (That is also why I use a study Bible so that it helps me to understand what the subject is pertaining to.) I don't really think it has to do with our religious affiliation (i.e. there were some things in the past that I didn't understand in the Catholic church as well.) But I chose my path because of what was going on in my life, and what I understood better.
I have in-laws that are also Born-Again that think they totally understand everything in the Bible and I catch them all the time with contradictions to even the things that I understand. I think there are parts of the Bible that are a mystery.

Answer 3

I'm a Christian. I think a know a lot about the Bible ... but I don't think anybody knows everything about it. There are too many subtleties to get past. Idioms, figures of speech, colloquialisms from the ancient Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, and Chaldea. I am continually seeking to understand it all and just when I think I have a handle on something; several other aspects of it surface from my reading in the texts.

Answer 4

I'm Roman Catholic and I doubt anyone can understand every detail of the bible. Memorize it, yes, but fully understand the subtle context of some of the messages, nope. Not even priests, who have to take classes in religion theology in seminary school, fully understand every single tiny part of the bible. That is for us to discover in our lifetimes.

Answer 5

extremely, you may desire to alter your wording only extremely: Hebrew Bible Roman Catholic Bible Protestant Bible The Jewish pupils finished the version of the Hebrew Bible in with reference to the 0.33 century. That textual content cloth is secure in the two the RC and Prot. Bible. The order of the books is diverse, with the aid of fact of underlying assumptions. The Christian Bible (the recent testomony) wasn't incredibly nailed down till almost the 10th century or so. After that, it became into locked in. This became into executed in a chain of Church Councils. this text is the comparable in the two the RC and Prot. Bible, and the previous testomony is extraordinarily plenty the comparable in the two of those Bibles, different than that the order might nicely be slightly diverse. the only distinction between the RC and Prot. Bibles is the presence of the Apocrypha -- various books that have been unknown in Hebrew, yet have been secure robotically in Greek language translations of the previous testomony that have been in standard use around the time of the early Church. That Greek translation of the previous testomony (observed as the Septuagint) became into so standard (maximum Jews did no longer at that element undergo in recommendations the thank you to communicate or examine Hebrew anymore) that whenever you hit upon the previous testomony quoted contained in the recent testomony, that's often the Septuagint textual content cloth they're quoting.

Answer 6

1st of all, Catholics are christians. In the 1300s, some reformers started to try to reform the practices of the Catholic church, eventually these reformers split from the Catholic church and by the 1500s there were many Protestant sects . . Baptist, Lutheran, etc. I believe that no one completely understands the bible

Answer 7

Also a Roman Catholic and in my experience, other Christian sects are a lot more familiar w/ the Bible than we are. As far as understanding though- that is a lifelong process for ANY Christian.

Answer 8

It is one of the leading doctrines of Romanism that the pope is the visible head of the universal church of Christ, invested with supreme authority over bishops and pastors in all parts of the world. More than this, the pope had arrogated the very titles of Deity. He styles himself “Lord God the Pope,” assumes infallibility, and demands that all men pay him homage. Thus the same claim urged by Satan in the wilderness of temptation is still urged by him through the Church of Rome, and vast numbers are ready to yield him homage.

But shouldn’t those who fear and reverence God meet this Heaven-daring assumption as Christ met the solicitation of the wily foe? “Thou salt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.” – Luke 4:8. God has never given a hint in his word that he has appointed any man to be the head of the church. The doctrine of papal supremacy is directly opposed the teachings of the Scriptures. The pope can have no power over Christ’s church except by usurpation.

So why don’t Catholics worship ONLY God, this is a very serious matter, please note my references:
Ex:34:14: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Isa:43:11: I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa:45:6: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me.I am the LORD, and there is none else.
