Why Protestant Bible is different from those from Catholic? I mean edited and being cut off ? I have read two Bibles and noticed that. Who edited and isn't it SIN to edit Bible anyways?

To change one word in the Bible is a sin
it is written, it is true

The Roman Catholics claim to have the oldest 'complete' manuscript. They derive they Bible from that Latin text. It is different partially because the words do different things in Latin than they do is Greek, or Hebrew, or the other semitic languages that the Bible can now be found in. the so called "complete manuscripts" are not the onlt thing that translators look at. There are many many fragments that they use to examine in order to come to an agreement as to the preferred translation.
Is it a sin to edit the Bible? I don't think so. It has to be translated into other languages that are not like the languages that they are found in. The cool thing is that we are not fooled into thinking that there is only one like the Muslims are being fooled into believing.

Protestants threw out what they didn’t like. If Luther got his way Revelation and James would be gone too. Now just guess why his mob didn’t like those books. And just while we’re on the subject, Catholics were naughty when they added their bible to Revelation, even though it says not to add anything to that book of prophesy. Naughty Christians.

o please, the bible has been through so many translations, trimmings and dressing ups thati might be tempted to swear i'd eat a whole stack of bibles if there is one word in it that is actually still acurate from the original version (in itself an edited compilation of texts) . it might also shock you to know, pretty much all the revisions have been done by the heads of organized religions.

What? Do you mean translate? That's a problem with the Bible; it has been translated from Hebrew and Greek into Latin and then into English etc...ect...ect... A lot can be lost or changed in translation.
