How is the Protestant Bible different from the Catholic Bible ?

Answer 1

The Bible used by Catholics contains all the books established by the ancient Church. The New Testament is common to both; the Old Testament used by Catholics is the same as the one Christ used.

Protestants removed those books (and portions of others) known as the Deuterocanon (NOT "Apocrypha") in order to support their deviations from the ancient faith.

Answer 2

The Catholic church compiled and confirmed all the authentic books of the old testament, wrote all the books of the new testament, and infallibly canonized every book that is included in what we now know as "The Bible" by the end of the 4th century.

Most of the "heavy lifting" on the job was done by St. Jerome, who besides being a great saint and a holy priest, was a gifted language scholar who had unparalleled access to the original source documents ... many of which no longer even exist.

Jerome was also a lot closer (in time) to the whole and real truth, as much of it had just recently been unearthed in the holy land, in his day.

The bible remained in the common language of the people, complete and undefiled for a thousand years, before the protestant reformers decided that Jesus and the only church that he ever founded, authorized, empowered, and eternally guaranteed, had made some mistakes.

So the protestants unilaterally removed seven of the old testament books, even though they had absolutely no authority to do so.

Then, they began to re-write the scriptures in their own image, introducing damnable heresies, by the score.

Soon, much of the world had been deceived, and no one knew what might happen, as a result.

Some thought it might be a sign that the great apostasy was upon us, and that satan had once again been released upon the earth.

And indeed, it took some 500 years to see exactly what effect all this would have on modern society and on the world, as a whole.

Welcome to the 21st century!

Answer 4

The New Testament canon of the Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible are the same with 27 Books.

The difference in the Old Testaments actually goes back to the time before and during Christ’s life. At this time, there was no official Jewish canon of scripture.

The Jews in Egypt translated their choices of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the second century before Christ. This translation of 46 books, called the Septuagint, had wide use in the Roman world because most Jews lived far from Palestine in Greek cities. Many of these Jews spoke only Greek.

The early Christian Church was born into this world. The Church, with its bilingual Jews and more and more Greek-speaking Gentiles, used the books of the Septuagint as its Bible. Remember the early Christians were just writing the documents what would become the New Testament.

After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, with increasing persecution from the Romans and competition from the fledgling Christian Church, the Jewish leaders came together and declared its official canon of Scripture, eliminating seven books from the Septuagint.

The books removed were Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Wisdom (of Solomon), Sirach, and Baruch. Parts of existing books were also removed including Psalm 151 (from Psalms), parts of the Book of Esther, Susanna (from Daniel as chapter 13), and Bel and the Dragon (from Daniel as chapter 14).

The Christian Church did not follow suit but kept all the books in the Septuagint. 46 + 27 = 73 Books total.

1500 years later, Protestants decided to keep the Catholic New Testament but change its Old Testament from the Catholic canon to the Jewish canon.

The books that were removed supported such things as
+ Prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12; 2 Maccabees 12:39-45)
+ Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7)
+ Intercession of saints in heaven (2 Maccabees 15:14)
+ Intercession of angels (Tobit 12:12-15)

The books they dropped are sometimes called the Apocrypha.

Answer 5

Protestant Fundamentalists desire to cite Rev 22:18 to denounce the Catholic Bible through fact Catholics "added" the Deuterocanonical books. in certainty, it became Luther who bumped off them interior the Reformation and violated Rev 22:19. as a effect, all Protestant Bibles are heretical and incomplete. you should keep in mind that the Bible became a latest of the early Catholics. the single, holy, apostolic Church certainly pre-dates the Bible. Paul became the biggest single contributor to the NT and the Church pre-dates his conversion. See Acts a million:5, Acts 2:38-40-one, Acts 4:4 and Acts 5:eleven for the only Church that Jesus created in action in the previous Paul (Saul) became a member and wrote regarding the Church. Jesus observed 1 Church, no longer 30,000 distinctive church homes. Protestants desire to create a "distinctive" church daily to met the unsuitable philosophies of despite the community "minister" believes in. maximum sects lack theology education and those that have bigger religious education ought to gloss over the sparkling contraindications that factors out their errors. keep in mind, there is not any longer something interior the Bible it is in errors with Catholic doctrine. The Catholic Bible is thoroughly genuine.

Answer 6

Prot Bibles dropped 7 Ot Books from the Early Christian Bible.

Answer 7

The Catholic Bible has some books added. They were added after Luther started complaining about rituals that the Catholic Church forced on the people saying that they were not in the Bible. So, the Catholic Church added the books that would support their ideas.

Answer 8

Catholic Bible contains the Apocrypha, but so does the 1611 Authorized KJV. Most Protestant bibles don't have it.

Answer 9

the difference just shows that The Holly Bible was revealed on Essa (PBUH) [JESUS], was changed by human hands, and they did changes in the Holly Bible as their needs, they changed everything they did not liked, so we cant say the book is known as Bible [Protestant or Catholic] is not the real one, it is just written by human being,

Answer 10
