Hey Godly brethrens,
I had an interesting chat with a friend who is a Christian orthodox. As we were sharing our faith, I noticed something slightly different especially the Old testamnet. Sorry long story short...I realized the orthodox read the catholic bible. So I did some checking up and found there were different books in the Catholic bible but almost identical to the Holy bible. I also learned that the Holy bible is called protestant bible, etc, including Martin Luther and the reformation. Wow mind blogging.
I am curious to know if why they removed those books from the OT and is it vital? I was thinking about God's can not be added and subtracted:
Revelation 22:18: "I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.…"
Let's fellowship.
Questions:
- is the above scripture talking about the manuscripts or the original bible?
- Is the original manuscript was translated to the catholic bible or protestant first? I also heard about King James playing a major role.
Just letting you know I am no catholic either so no offense to the almighty pope
