Catholic4aReasn, Love your excellent and thoughtful answers. I do have one concern. Could you please stop using the
Giant Orange text. It doesn’t show up well and I cant see more than two or three lines of your posts at a time. Thank you.

Yours in Christ.

You really dont know what you are talking about. The problem is not the Bible. The problem is the person reading it.

ok, so i make a copy the bible but add bits that say some of the apostles offered blood sacrifice to baal and that was ok. now you read that and say ‘hey! that’s not right!’ according to what you’re saying above, the problem would not be with the bible i’ve written, rather it would be with you, right?

before you say, ‘no those are your words, not Daddy’s’, please understand that you will be making the same arguement against my bible that Catholic Eagle and ILO are making about the KJV. there are the things Daddy told us…and then there are the re-statings of His Word by those who wanted to hear something else.

thanks for listening, love and peace, terry

Now, you know better than to add anything to Gods Word. Rev.22 vs 18-19. You wouldnt want all the plaques that scripture talks about falling on you would you? :eek:
 
The KJV is a translation - none of which are perfect. It does not contain any footnotes that expound on any particular interpretation - as Catholic Bibles do. - but then again with no guidance you might misunderstand the scriptures. Yes, there are some books missing and maybe that is why you think it is heretical. You would not say it is better not to read the Bible at all than to read a Non-Catholic version?

I don’t believe there is B]one official version of the Bible that is approved for Catholics to use. So some “Catholic” translations say “full of grace” and others “most favored daughter” Were these translators trying to follow the original text? reinforce Catholic dogma? Dispute dogma?

i take this as an admission that a translaton of the bible which alters Daddy’s original intent would be, can we say,…evil?

thanks again, love and peace, terry

This is a reference to the book of Revelation alone, not the bible, in its entirety, as we know it today. These verses refer specifically to “this book of prophecy”. The bible, as a whole, is not itself a book of prophecy, nor would John refer to the bible as “this book” since scripture was not in book form when Revelation was written.
 
I’m Christian first, denomination: non-align second.

Non-align is a term I made up to indicate the following:
I’m nonCatholic, nonOrthodox and nonProtestant.
I’m NOT anti-Catholic or anti-Orthodox or anti-Protestant.
Hence, I “created” a fourth Christendom Group to represent us who are not formally onpaper one of the three given above.

Now, I realize that everything believed within Christendom is not equally true. Many beliefs have their contradictory counterparts (one is right, or, all are wrong; all cannot be right); many beliefs have their different neighbors (I hope that made sense); many beliefs are similar to some degree.

Do you believe that God provided a means by which people can be infallibley certain about what God has revealed to us?

If so, what do you believe that means is?

If not, why do you believe God would make truth the thing by which we are set free if, ultimately, the truth is not knowable?

Thanks!

In Christ,
Nancy 🙂

Of course I disagree with you. The bible and especially in the old testament is full of prophecy. The old is a prophecy of the new testament. :confused:

Then you disagree on one point. What about the statement that St. John could not have been referring to the Bible as a whole as “this book” since the Bible had been complied into book form at the time that the Revelation was written? (Indeed, the New Testament scriptures would not be definitively discerned and compiled into a single volume for three more centuries.)

Yes, the OT contains prophecy. What does that have to do with my point about Rev. 22?

In Christ,
Nancy 🙂
