So yes listen to the KJV and later read the 7 deuterocanonical books from the Catholic bible which will be absent in the KJV: ( Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, (Sirach also called Ben Sira or Ecclesiasticus), Baruch)

If you buy an Anglican KJV, or audio of the Anglican KJV, you’ll have all of those books, as well as I Esdras, 2 Esdras, and PrMan.

" its original version, the KJV contained the Deuterocanonicals. They were only removed around 1830 when an English missionary society refused to ship Bibles if the Deuterocanonicals were included."

Where can I go to see this.

I need a reliable site, one that a KJV only person would trust.

I’m not sure what you’d like documentation for. 😦

Almost as soon as the KJV was first published, printers distributed it sans the Deuterocanonical books. (Granted these were illicit, pirated editions.) This is the reason for the 1615 addition to Anglican Canon Law prohibiting the distribution of a Bible that lacks the Deuterocanonical material.

From roughly 1823 to 1830, the British and Foreign Bible Society shipped Bibles with either the Protestant Canon, or the Anglican Canon. (I’m not sure if they also shipped Bible with the Catholic Canon.)

Starting circa 1885, the various branches of the Anglican Communion changed the status of Deuterocanonical material. Nonetheless, even in areas where they are no longer either protocanonical or deuterocanonical, Anglican Bibles still include that material.

Why limit yourself to just one bible version? I have dozens in my library at home.

Although it is good to compare the versions I would rather stick with a Bible that is used by the Catholic Church. All the books are in it and the translations actually make sense for many reasons. I also hate how the new Bible versions try to modernize every passage,
into “our words” or relate it to modern english. Thanks anyways

God Bless 🙂
 
I would not recommend a Catholic read the KJV. It is full of mistranslations and it doesn’t contain the Old Testament that Jesus had. They use an Old Testament that was created after he died.

Actually, the Old Testament of the King James Version contained, originally, the full canon. It was removed by non-Anglicans later on.
