=dyet13;9265126]I ran into some books of a Protestant Bible that had “extra” verses in it than a Catholic Bible. My question…why?
Mat 17:21/18:11
John 5:4
Acts 15:34/24:7
Rom 16:24
Anything would help. Thanks.
God ALWAYS; both Yahweh and Christ teach [and taught exclusively]
Only One God
Only One set of Faith beliefs
and Only One chosen people/ Church
Only the Catholic Church was Formed by Christ.
Only Peter and the Apostles were given the mandate and charism to TEACH this One Faith.
Only the CC has BOTH the HS and Christ ever-present to guide, guard, protect and warranty her Teachins on ALL matters to be believed in Faith and Moral issues.
Protestants MUST be or seem to be different than the CC or there would be no need for them to exist. Thus change in a real sence for thembecomes a necessity.
Mt. 28: 16,18-20 "Now the eleven disciples [Apostles] went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And Jesus came and said to them, "**All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. **[19]
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." THIS IS A CONTINUEATION OF GIVING THE KEYS TO HEAVEN TO ONLY PETER AND THE CC.
John 20:19-23 w/ explaination On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples [Apostles] were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. **As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” [WITH MY POWERS AND AUTHORITY AS GOD…see Mt. 10:1-8]/U][22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
**Eph.3: 9 to 12 ** “And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; that through the church [SINGULAR: meaning THE CATHOLIC Church] the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. This
was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him
**Matt.13:9-12 “**He who has ears, let him hear." Then the disciples Apostles] came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” And he answered them, **"To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” ** For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. “
2nd. Peter 3: 14-17 “So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters.
There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability"
**2nd. Peter 1: 16-21 **
“You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”
Then the evidence of ONLY One God; One Faith and One Church is clear and concise:
**John.10: 16 **“And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd”
**Eph. 4: 1-7 **“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body [MEANS 1 CHIRCH] and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, **one **Lord, ***one faith,[ONLY 1 set of beliefs] *** one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
**Eph. 2:19-20 **“So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
SINGULAR] built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
So by absolute necessity they must differ from what the only faith and church founded and protected by God teaches: today’s CC. In the effort to be “different” there is a very wide divergence of personal views of just how to do this.
God Bless,
