And this is a perfect example of why I’ve said on many occasions, today’s western/European Bibles are transcribed per the church’s control, namely the prior Council’s of Nicaea, that edited books and removed certain books from the Bible (the Apocryphal Books). Just goes to show way back then, if a part didn’t fit a simple human’s idea, importance, clear lingustic translation, or a even narratives, it was hidden, removed, erased, or transcribed over. And done by those that had the power over the rest of the world learning all the word og God, to do so, namely the Vatican.
it was hidden, removed, erased, or transcribed over
The only way to make this statement, and for it to be true, is to know what the original writings said in order to know that "they've been changed." Thus becoming a self defeating statement.
The Biblical writings have been preserved throughout the millennia by way of the thousands of manuscripts and copies currently in existence. Having more manuscripts and copies actually helps biblical critics work backwards to accurately represent what the original writings said (up to a 99.8% accuracy). No one group (including the Catholics) could have sole say in what the ancient manuscripts actually said because there were thousands of manuscripts in other locations not in Catholicism's possession. The vast number of Manuscripts acted as a checks and balance system against any unwarranted change or edits.
There is no other book (or collection of books) that compares to the Biblical writings when it comes to the number and quality of manuscripts in our possession. The Bible we posses in our hands today IS what the original authors wrote down.
You can take that to the bank (or maybe a credit union :P )
The Catholic bible contains 73 books in the Old Testament including the cannon books while the Protestant Bible contains 66 books in the Old Testament.
What is a Catholic Bible?
The Catholic Bible came into existence and practiced with the teachings of Jesus Christ who lived in the 1st century.
It contains the teachings, literature, wisdom, and story of Jesus Christ who lived in the province of Judea in the Roma Empire.
It contains 73 books in the Old Testament. The Old Testament includes ‘Apocrypha’ the Greek version. The New Testament contains 27 books.
During the time of Jesus Christ, both the Hebrews and the Septuagint were used in the scriptures and this makes the Catholic Bible contain both scriptures.
It is published in accordance with the catholic canon law. It is officially referred to as ‘The Vulgate’. The vulgate is now officially in Latin language and used all over the world.
The catholic bible remained unchanged even after the reformation. The catholic bible contains books such as Baruch, Judith, Sirach, stories of Susanna, Tobit, Stories of Bel and Dragon which are not found in the bible used by protestants.
The Catholic bible contains 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament- 73 books total. You may want to edit your post. BTW your post was very good. Thank you
No problem. I have a Catholic Bible. The St Joseph's Edition of The New American Bible.
I just counted the Old Testament books and the New Testament books in there-
And YOU ARE CORRECT- The number of Old Testament books are 47. And 27 in the New Testament.
It is the article I linked to that is incorrect. I have no idea where they got their information. (Perhaps some of the books from the Apocrypha were omitted)
I do have the following Aprocrypha books included: Tobit, Judith, Sirach, and Baruch. But I do not have the stories of Bel, Dragon nor of Suzanna that I know of.

I should have double checked before posting.
