does anyone knows what non-catholic bible is???

Answer 1

Answerers #1 and #3 pretty much have it covered for you.

Answer 2

Here is a clipping from a site that explains the difference between Catholic and non-Catholic bible versions. Catholic bibles will always say 'Catholic' somewhere on it.


At the time the Christian Bible was being formed, a Greek translation of Jewish Scripture, the Septuagint, was in common use and Christians adopted it as the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. However, around 100 A.D., Jewish rabbis revised their Scripture and established an official canon of Judaism which excluded some portions of the Greek Septuagint. The material excluded was a group of 15 late Jewish books, written during the period 170 B.C. to 70 A.D., that were not found in Hebrew versions of the Jewish Scripture. Christians did not follow the revisions of Judaism and continued to use the text of the Septuagint.

Protestant reformers in the 1500s decided to follow the official canon of Judaism for the Old Testament rather than the Septuagint, and the excluded material was placed in a separate section of the Bible called the Apocrypha. Protestant Bibles included the Apocrypha until the mid 1800s, but it was eventually dropped from most Protestant editions.

The Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches continue to base their Old Testament on the Septuagint. The result is that these versions of the the Bible have more Old Testament books than Protestant versions. Catholic Old Testaments include 1st and 2nd Maccabees, Baruch, Tobit, Judith, The Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), additions to Esther, and Susanna and Bel and the Dragon which are included in Daniel. Orthodox Old Testaments include these plus 1st and 2nd Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151 and 3rd Maccabees.

The Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox New Testaments are identical.

Answer 3

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 4

The Catholic bible contains more books in the Old Testament than found in Protestant bibles (which have the same books as in Jewish tradition.)
The New Testaments contain the same books.

For many years most or all of these were found in Protestant bibles in a section called The Apocrypha, placed between the Old and New Teataments, but they were not given fulll canonical status.

Answer 5

A non-Catholic Bible has text from the OT removed from the canon of scripture set by the ancient Church.

Together, these books may be called the Deuterocanon, but they are inspired and included as such in the Bible used for centuries.

They are NOT apocryphal.

Answer 6

The Catholic Bible contains in the Old Testament several (about seven) books that don't appear in the Protestant Bible, or in the Jewish Bible. Evangelical Christians or Protestants call these the apocryphal books. They were written in Greek, not Hebrew.

Answer 7

A Bible that was translated from the original scrolls and does not have the Apocrypha in it. The Apocryphal books were written a century or more after the death of Christ.

Some people always want to throw something in about the church taking peoples money. Maybe those people don't know that a church publishes for its members how they spend the money that it collects. A large church that tries to reach the city with the gospel and with financial help for the least of us, usually has a large staff of people for the purpose of ministering the gospel outside of the church, for helping the homeless, and determining who to help and who you just cannot help, build buildings, maintain buildings, power buildings, clean buildings, the list goes on.
