Thank you for such a simple explanation without saying one is right and the other is wrong like some do

[immanueldasilvayt]

I’m very happy with the way he introduced the video, our protestant neighbor. As an independant church believer, gotta agree that many of our own look down on the Catholic brethren. However I guess the way of salvation in both the denominations would be the same. The death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Love to you all ❤

Good to hear the new testimony is the same between all Christians ❤ have a joyful good Friday all

As a Catholic who wants to learn and understand the Bible better I'm looking for resources or groups where studying and learning the Bible would make it a more wholesome experience.

To my surprise, there are 5 Catholic churches where I live within a 4 mile radius. I checked with all of them and none had any Bible study groups or classes. A few weeks later one of the churches called me back and said they would have a Bible workshop. I said great, can you tell me more about it. The lady then said that a guest bishop from south America would give talks about the Bible for 2 weekends. Problem is he's giving a talk, that's not a class or study group.

For the heck of it, I checked with a Protestant church 3 miles from my house and they said they do have a Bible study/class that goes year round 3 times a week. That really blew me away. The Catholic church is the largest in the world. Have the most amount of money and resources yet they put so little effort in teaching their followers about the Bible. Actually no effort was put in by them at all.

Anyways I read the Bible myself and within a few months I never felt more complete and closer to God. The Catholic church has value to Christianity and the community. But I don't feel its essential, just like any other church. What IS essential is for one to seek God thru Jesus and read the gospel. That in itself is sufficient for salvation.

The Hebrew or Jewish Bible also does not contain the apocrypha and is considered by them as uninspired.

In time's such as now. All followers of Christ must unite.

REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AND PRAISE HIM ONLY. JESUS CHRIST WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU

Aside from the deuterocanonical books, is the remaining old testament books the same? I'm a Catholic, my hard copy bible is a 66 book KJV. I read other versions online. I read something from 1 John to a fellow Catholic (who I don't think reads scripture) she had a hard time accepting the verse, said it was wrong because I'm reading from a protestant bible...I guess my question is, cn a Catholic read a KJV?

[carlvaz]

Thanks Father, for having explained this difference.

[syambandi]

Those seven books that were not present in the Protestant version are 1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom and Baruch.

[JohnTwoFive]

Thank you for providing captioning on the video, but now please check the punctuation between fifty and sixty seconds where you say "As Catholics" and the punctuation doesn't indicate that that's the beginning of a new sentence.

[waltgzerod]

I think there are other differences too. Years ago, a friend told me,
One Bible says "Call no man 'Father' for there is one Father & he is in Heaven."
While the other says "Call no man 'Pastor' for there is one Pastor & he is in Heaven."
I don't know Which is which. I need to read more!!
The Lord gave me, or us, the ability to be Educated & Communicate. I feel I have neglected my Education.

[alishaarchibong]

Thank you. God bless you for reaching out to explain this.

[RitaDSouza-lwgp]

I Got New Testament Bible and The Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

[SHASHIKANTH..]

He explained in simple and humble way...

[biggazzr]

Okay guys please guide me.

What is a Protestant bible and what is a catholic bible ?
As in NKJV is Protestant right ?

I’m English and I’m trying to find out which bible to purchase I’m just a little confused. I’m new to this and was thinking of getting both and reading both simultaneously

Any help is much appreciated

[dannyc]

So for the translation question, it doesn’t matter which translation you pick up when it comes to Protestant and Catholic??

[breadmandave]

Are these seven books what protestants refer to as the Apocrypha ?

[philippehuelin]

Thank you for the explanation. As a clarification, those 'apocrypha' are indeed read by Protestants for "example of life and instruction of manners" but we do not use them for the "establishment of doctrine". Interesting, huh?

[ralphscholz]

I really don’t think the differences are in the Bible so much as in the way it is read, interpreted, translated, and retranslated.
