46 OT + 27 NT = 73. Some may tell you the Catholic Church "added" books, but it is in fact the Protestants that removed books.
1000-50 BC: The Old Testament (hereafter "OT") books are written.
C. 200 BC: Rabbis translate the OT from Hebrew to Greek, a translation called the "Septuagint" (abbreviation: "LXX"). The LXX ultimately includes 46 books.
AD 30-100: Christians use the LXX as their scriptures. This upsets the Jews.
C. AD 100: So Jewish rabbis meet at the Council of Jamniah and decide to include in their canon only 39 books, since only these can be found in Hebrew.
C. AD 400: Jerome translates the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Latin (called the "Vulgate"). He knows that the Jews have only 39 books, and he wants to limit the OT to these; the 7 he would leave out (Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach [or "Ecclesiasticus"], and Baruch--he calls "apocrypha," that is, "hidden books." But Pope Damasus wants all 46 traditionally-used books included in the OT, so the Vulgate has 46.
AD 1536: Luther translates the Bible from Hebrew and Greek to German. He assumes that, since Jews wrote the Old Testament, theirs is the correct canon; he puts the extra 7 books in an appendix that he calls the "Apocrypha."
AD 1546: The Catholic Council of Trent reaffirms the canonicity of all 46 books.

area of the parable that Catholics aren't any further Christians is that we placed no importance on the Bible. Myths are contradictory or have more advantageous than one type, some say that we are forbidden to verify it. because the reason of most of the 20 th century thoughts in (American) Christianity are Bible depending and on the grounds that Catholics of direction, by technique of remark or rumor, reject them, that is concluded we ignore concerning the Bible. the reality is that we examine the Bible in an truly conservative way and do not locate "new issues" in it that were left out (or interpreted extra benignly) contained in the previous. We carry that no one passage trumps some thing else of scripture or divine revelation. many human beings do not recognize that meat comes from animals and fruit from timber. do no longer be surprisedd the are unfamiliar with the heritage of Christianity and the Bible. The literal which technique of the textual content is the concept for all meaning contained in the Bible. aspects of the Bible are fiction, fantasy, and fantasy. it isn't a technology textbook. that is inerrant with appreciate to concerns of religion and morals. An irresponsible expertise scripture is without income or outcome no count number how fervent the guy who holds it.

who cares. But When I studied Christian deception at age 12, I remember that the catholic bible contains 73 books. The 4 extra books being "wisdom", "sirach", Tobit, and "Judith". If you count the Apocrypha, which Only priests selfishly read, that makes it 74. If you count how many books king James slaved over a hot stove to filter out, It would be 134 + books. Don't give into thoes twisted lies, For only 1% of all christians actually read the whole bible. I am good with christianity because I will overthrow it, naturally. I know all the religions. And studied them to the point of madness. I am one of the few 20 year olds that can speak latin and greek, and hebrew, and hittite, and sanskrit. I have translated the gospel of judas. Ha Ha! Dont take it as a suprise. Blacks gave the world the 3 major religions. You shoud thank us instead of letting us rot in the ghetto.
