Difference Between Catholic Bible and King James Bible
Catholic Bible vs. King James Bible
There has been a lot of confusion surrounding the Holy Bible that both Roman Catholic s and Protestants use, because of the varied versions that have been printed and distributed throughout the world today. It may be because of the never ending dispute between Catholics and Protestants on what should be and shouldn’t be included in the Christian Bible that lights the continuity of the said argument.
The Catholic Bible is actually the generic term for the Christian Bible. By nature, it includes the so-called Old and New Testaments. It includes the 5th century Latin Vulgate, which is primarily St. Jerome’s work.
Conversely, the King James Bible version is just one of the many versions of the Holy Book circulated throughout. Some of the other versions made or edited by Roman Catholics include: The Latin Vulgate itself, the Douay-Rheims Version, The Jerusalem Bible and the New American Bible, amongst many others.
At the dawn of the 17th century, the making of the King James Bible version was initiated by the English King James the First. It was said to have been completed around 1611. The King James Version (KJV) is regarded as one of the first English translations of the Catholic Bible, with the Great Bible and the Bishops Bible as its first two English predecessors. The KJV was translated or written with the use of the most original manuscripts in Hebrew and Greek. The problem with the translating process at that time was that the translators were mostly pure Englishmen, with limited knowledge of Hebrew. There were also a small number of texts to which their new version had to be based, including the Greek Textus Receptus for the New Testament and the Hebrew Masoteric for the Old Testament. Their translation also included the Apocrypha, although newer versions of such do not include the said books. Moreover, the scholars who were tasked by the king to do the translation asked for little or no help from anyone in translating the Catholic Bible. The result is a book that contained lots of errors. No wonder there has been many revised versions of this English Bible, named the New King James Version.
Overall, no matter what Bible version you are reading, more or less the message remains the same. Even if the phrasing and wordings are somewhat altered, almost all Bible versions, including the KJV, tells of the same message about God. All in all:
1. The Catholic Bible is a more generic term for the Holy Bible.
2. The KJV is just one of the many other versions of the Holy Bible.

In my view this is the best possible way to increase the confusion.
i think so too..^^ lol
King James was not English!!!! In May 1601, King James VI of Scotland attended the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland at St Columba’s Church in Burntisland, Fife, at which proposals were put forward for a new translation of the Bible into English. It is not a problem that the bible was translated by 47 English speaking scholars as its very purpose was not to make a bad translation good, but a good translation better, and says that “we do not deny, nay we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession … containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God” in English!!
Its all a plagerism and lie.
all can be traced back to mesopotamia, summeria.
same shit, names changed, stories ellaborated and twisted.
egypt twisted it after mesopotamia.
then all the kingdoms plagerised since.
The only way and answer tom live life towards what we call the creator or creation, is…
in a single word- PURE.
as pure as pure water.
after all it is the best conductor of energy.
all the other crap, back to the abyss with it.
matter,air,fire,water.
life emerged from a chemical composition in a combination of the elements of the periodic table.
the route is the left and right handed amino-acids, simple proteins.
hence RNA and DNA. we are from the left handed-DNA or otherwise known as LNA.
the molecules orbit in counter clockwise, so do some of our planets around our star.
relative? yes, exactly.
Huh?
Stop trying to sound smart. Your so obviously trying to say “evolution” is where we came from and not God. Using big and confusing words must make you feel somewhat special aye… i could use big words also but i like people to understand what i say.
Yeah..that final remark confused me even more confused..:(
this article is a joke. it is painfully obvious that whoever wrote it holds an extreme bias towards england, Protestants and the King James Bible.
catholics are taught to highly distrust the King James and it would seem this article reflects that type of unthinking distrust.
when a priest or pastor says something its up to those that spend their time listening to him to check them out.
priests and pastors can be idiots like the rest of us.
dont believe propaganda that any system puts out, do some reaserch and compare the two as well as taking a serious look into the political and social events of history that may have influenced each…..before forming a conclusion.
the person that wrote this is way way off the mark.
The author wrote about diffrence between Holy Bible and Catholic bible but in what he wrote i did not see the diffrence he points out.If diffrent in translation ,he surpose to give us examples from so call holy bible and Catholic bible to back is words.
KJV was the completed and wholed truth translation.
Actually, the KJV translators had EXTENSIVE Hebrew knowledge. Many of them had studied it since they were children. To say that the KJV has weaknesses due to lack of translator knowledge of the original languages is a very uneducated statement.
I prefer the New Revised Standard Version for daily scripture reading. Although, I still keep my KJV right on the shelf next to my NRSV for comparison and reference.
kjv is not just a translation, it is the inspired word of God PRESERVED in the english language
AMEN!
So is there a difference between the Catholic Bible vs. the NKJV Holy Bible? I just want to get on the right path to learning about God and his bible.
Suzanne,
Despite almost everything I’ve ever heard or read, the King James Version (not the new) has really stood the test of time and really does follow the Hebrew and Greek translations, better than most other versions that I’ve seen.
Sadly where most of the confusion seems to come in is when most people say, “it’s too hard to understand, so I go to other translations instead”, but IF YOU PRAY FOR GUIDANCE “BEFORE” you start reading, and ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR ‘CLARITY AND UNDERSTANDING’ with what you’re about to read from the Word, He Will open your understanding in ways that you can not imagine.
I truly believe that there are books added to the Catholic Bible that would lead to much confusion, if you don’t weigh them by what the Lord has called us to do. In the mean while, you can do a comparsion for yourself, but ALWAYS PRAY FIRST for guidance, then let the HOLY SPIRIT SHOW you where the spirit of ‘error’ comes in so that you will know later on what to stay away from (the Hebrew texts are an excellent bench mark here, find a Messianic Rabbi who’d be willing to walk you through the scriptures and you’ll get even more ‘clarity’ as well).
Hope I was able to help you in some small way.
P.S. Wayne H you’re absolutely correct, pat they were most likely left out because of the ‘confusion’ that they may have caused the reader. Cory, if you believe in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach in Hebrew), then ask the Holy Spirit to ‘lead you’ where to start first, in order to help you and your girl friend. bob, you’re right but we must continue to pray for EVERYONE to come to the love and knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. Saul, God/Jesus Christ ARE NOT A DENOMINATION this started with true God following, Christ saving ‘Judasim’ “first”. cory, jk ‘paganism’ because they don’t adhere to ALL of the doctrines listed in the Bible (still searching for verses about venerating Mary, using prayer beads, etc.). Thanks NoeaH and Chris. To one and ALL, whatever you do do ALL to the Glory of God, and seek the help and leading of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for clearer understanding of ‘their’ Word (John 14:21 & 23). Take care and God bless.
Amen Bea K. .. finally someone with some knowledge
Think this is a Catholic based website. If you look at the history of the Catholic religion, it is based on paganism, so of course this site will say that the KJV is not all inspired by God and even based on Catholicism, which is a cult.
I’m a catholic high schooler and I have studied church history and all the many things the church as done since the last supper onward. I’m curious to why you believe the Catholic Church is a cult!
@cj, likewise I’m curious as to why you have the impression that Catholicism is based on paganism.
Just pick up an authorised KJ version and the new versions and compare and i can assure you that if you know english( even if just a little) the bibles are very different.unless ofcourse English has lost meaning or the dictionary definitions are wrong.And from the much i know about satan(the most subtil of God’s creatures) these alterations are not by mistake…
Read the KJV and if you can, read the Bible in its original tongues.The new versions are corrupt don’t be lazy

The above video link discusses the many pagan practices in Roman Catholicism.
I am not a catholic but i think statements like that just generate hate in which certainly was not Jesus teachings so maybe you should read a bit more of you bible of choice and see Gods love to all his people and a little less about which churches are right and wrong. Very few protestant churches actually follow only the bible and gospel exactly anyway and so consider your own ways before you consider other peoples
@ Andrew: I couldn’t agree more.
I do beleive the Catholic religion is the most true way to God. A lot of the comments I see here are hateful and from uneducated people. I have done research on other Christian religions by pastors and people belonging to those religions. Many of them are entangled in misconceptions of the Catholic church. If you want answers, look to history books and question experts of the religion you are in disagreement with. My quest was for the most ancient, who changed what, and who had the most resonable answers. To me it was the Catholic Church. But like the post above me, instead of people finding common ground people use hate to defend their points. Catholics and all other denominations of it should be ashamed of that. Love, understanding, forgivenes, compassion, and being moral is what the Bible teaches. Those of you who disagree with hate need to repent and become knowlegable before making hurtful accusations. With much love to all Christians, Saul.
There are many heresy’s in the catholic religion for instance the bible says call no man father! The bible never says that bread and wine blessed by a man would actually turn in to the body and blood of christ and we never see John the Baptist baptizing any babies only born again Believers in Christ are to be structurally baptized no where does it say that a man of God is suppose to wear a dress or turn his collar around backwards and the bible says that mary had more children after Jesus so she is not still a virgin and it is not the suffering of Christ that saves us it is his BLOOD! and we can’t work our way to heaven or do any penance because we are saved by grace! No religion is the way to heaven Christ is the way to heaven
(and we can’t work our way to heaven or do any penance because we are saved by grace!)
Jesus said. what you do unto the least of my brothers you do unto me. now heaven is all pure all holy so doesnt it make sense that we must make up for our sins to enter into heaven whether it be through helping of the poor or asking god for forgiveness and truely being sorry? now catholics believe purgatory is a place between heaven and earth from when we are cleansed this makes sense becasue heaven is all holy and be must then be cleasned before our entry. if it was either just straight to heaven or hell we would all go to hell because everyone sins, and there is no sin or impurities in heaven.
so basically you dont read the bible because it clearly states that Jesus cleansing us is our only way into heaven
Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
sorry dude but with all your actions you will never ever get ‘clean’ only Gods amazing sacrifice will save you as the bible says
by the way that doesnt mean actions arent required they are something a christian should do but not for salvation they should do it because they love the Jesus for the great thing he has done in there life
1 John 4:19
We love him, because he first loved us
John 14:6s
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Matthew 7:21-23
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
there is a very good book that you all should raed
it is called catholicism against itself, it might
open aq lot of eyes nbut only if you want to the
truth.
What is it about and to what side is it biased for example baptist atheist etc
I’m a strong catholic with a atrong protestant girlfriend I would like to read this book. How indepth does it go and what topics does it cover, also how many pages is it?
the king james bible was writen by man i saw the bible and there are gids words changed in places and in other places removed. the reue and only unchanged bible is the latin ulgate. which the vatican hass the origional. the king hames is not the true wird of god because it was inspired by man where the true bible was inspired by god. as was the apostles creed was inspited by the holey ghost to all the 12 apostles. the neicen creed that replaced the apostles creed is false. and indecates reincarination. which there is no such thing. i am roman catholic and i am 69 years old i dont expect most people to remember the true church which has allso changed.. i deem the king james bible as part false in places and gods own words missing in other places. and i fear that vatican two will cause the only true church to become luke warm and fall away like the other of the seven churches did. see
http://www.drbo.org/chapter/73001.htm
@Kerry The Latin Vulgate is in Latin. The “True” version would be in Aramaic or possibly Hebrew. There’s nothing “true” about the LV.
Two words for Kerry. Spell Check!
God created this universe and others that might exist and we don’t know of. He created all the stars and planets. He created the Earth and when the earth was ready to support life, life came to the earth. He put the spirit in the man when he was ready to receive it, and at that point, the man became a creature different from the other animals, aware of who he was and of the existence of God. And the man created religion; lots of them.
I am a Catholic man and I tell you that religion is a human creation; God exists before any religion was created. I go to church not looking for God, because I can find Him anywhere. I go to church looking for the man; who is hungry that I can feed, who needs clothes that I can dress, who needs shelter, who needs to be educated, who needs to be healed.
I am a Catholic not because it is the best religion, but because it makes me a better man.
The role of the Catholic religion in the world is colossal. It feeds millions of hungry people, it educates millions more, through it’s hospitals it heals millions of sick and wounded, it brings harmony into conflicts between people and countries and much more.
It is not a perfect religion, because it’s members are humans and no human is perfect. But most of the people in it are good and well intentioned, which pushes the religion forward and makes this world a better place to live.
In resume, forget about what bible is better. Love the others, do good and and be at peace with God.
The Catholic Bible has up to 79 books, including up to 13 books depending on version, which are not considered by all to be a part of the canon of inspired scripture.
The KJV has just the 66 books of the recognized canon of scripture.
Why would a bible leave books out?
It’s not a matter of leaving books out of the KJV, rather that the Catholic has the extra 13 books added.
When were they “added” by Catholics? – protestants are stupid about history. The original KJV had the same books as the Catholics, then they slowly removed it to conform to the version Martin Luther and his followers were promoting. The Lutheran original also removed the books of Hebrews and Revelation because Luther didn’t like them.
The Catholics didn’t add anything, Protestants removed books then they say they got it all and Catholics added. How ignorant. Just look at the Catholics and Orthodox – the Ethiopian Orthodox have more than 80 books in their Bible, but ignorant Protestants don’t even know these churches exist.
As an evangelical pastor and missionary who has spoken and served the Lord in other languages for most of my life, i’m always amazed by the silliness that surrounds debates on Bible translations, and especially of those who view the KJV as the definitive English version. Use your brains, people! The ONLY “perfect” versions of God’s Word are those which have been compared for mistakes, evaluated for agreement, and double-checked for authenticity from the more than 5000 fragments and complete manuscripts in existence today… many of which were undiscovered when the KJV was translated. And these are ALL written in koine Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, the languages the prophets, psalmists, and apostles spoke. So the ONLY 100% correct scriptures are the ancient ones. Every other version is an attempt to translate those ancient words into our own language… a very difficult task when dealing with ancient languages, peoples and world-views. The KJV was translated several hundred years ago by humans who spoke the English of that day- who had never lived in the Middle East and knew nothing of the worldview of Israelites. Complete literal translations (word for word copies of what is written in ancient Hebrew, or even Greek) would be unintelligible for Anglophones but probably not for Arabophones, so translators restructure scripture so that it makes sense in our own language. Dynamic translations attempt to translate the words AND the thoughts in ways that are easier for us to understand…. try translating “white as snow” into a saharan African language, or “shepherds and sheep” into an Iraian Jayan language where neither exists.
Those who dedicate their entire lives (Wycliff and SIL etc) to translating scripture from Greek and Hebrew into the language of the people to whom God has called them translate DIERCTLY from the inspired Hebrew and Greek scriptures! They explain what the scripture is communicating to native **** speakers, and then ask THEM how to say that succinctly and grammatically in their language. And that translation is every bit as inspired today as the KJV was 400 years ago when people actually spoke Shakespearian English on a daily basis.
So, let’s get rid of our superstitions and use our God-given brains, people!!!! Those who say that the KJV is the only correct/accurate english translation are either ignorant, superstitious or intellectually dishonest. When one tries to confront Muslims with the lies/errors that are visible in the English or French or *** translation of the Quran, they cop out by saying that the Quran can only be 100% correct in Arabic (God’s language), which means that you would have to be a doctor in classical arabic before you’d be allowed to comment on what it’s actually saying.
God’s word is alive and sharper than any double-bladed sword… and unless you’ve got a doctorate in ancient Hebrew, koine Greek, and Mediterranean anthropology, you’ll just have to trust all the God-impassioned translators who are attempting to carry all the rich content of God’s Word over into our languages, cultures, and world-views. Amen.
Here’s a really interesting version to check out: The Complete Jewish Bible.
Could you please be kind enough and point out what lies/errors you are referring to in Quran that is translated in English or French? Thanks.
Thank U greatly Bruce for your comment as lead by the Holy Ghost the power behind the letter that gives understanding to the SIMPLE.Those who desperately seek for God could find him even beneath the bell of the FISH in the Ocean.
Most found ourselves in the individual section or segment of religion we are but most know the TRUTH to set us free from mere religion.I need HIM always .Let us get God and not mere letters.Stay bless.
Paul
God so sat out one fondation for his church , to teach and to help your brother at all time. Not to set turmoil amongest our self , as to who has the better teachings , we all need to be in touch with GOD for we are all seeking the answer and want to be saved keep simple.
To whom it may concern,
I understand the argument amongst the all of you is each one of you want to be found in a better place than the other (except for the few honest people that asked for guidance because they want to know Jehovah better). The reason that Jesus Christ came to earth was to make sure you people stop trying to justify the work of your hands and to look at things from above. Most of the arguments you guys are putting across are saying ” i am doing better than you” to the person next to you and that i can assure you is not part of the great plan of redemption. Guys, i mplore you to go back to the drawing board. Go and pray fervently and also study of God’s word deligently and get insight from above. Get taught of the spirit of God and stop going to schools to get educated of things pertaining to the most high because you will keep nothing but confusion in your minds. Jesus came to change the way people were thinking concerning spiritual things and i think its time most of you guys changed your mind sets
i agree with this guy and believe me i know about this stuff im a protestant from northern ireland iv heard all more sectarian ignorism than you can even imagine.people should just stick to Jesus love
The last few posts have been smart and well worded! As a devoted Catholic I’d have to say that I love my church (And Lord knows we’ve had our issues, especially recently but hey at least we haven’t had an inquisition lately..) and I love our TRADITIONS, they strengthen my faith and love. There doesn’t have to be this ‘war’ of denominations and sects. There has already been enough hate, anger and resentment over words in old books for past two millennia. I always embrace my brothers and sisters of God included my Islamic and Jewish brethren. May peace be with you all, God Bless.
I am muslim. I stumbled across this web site or article by accident. It is interesting. I don’t want to get into heated arguments here. I always had one question which I asked many of my christian brothers that if a word has been changed or a book has been altered how then can it be called ” word of God”? Why doesn’t anyone in the christiandom question the so called “VERSIONS OF BIBLE”. Every version is quite different from each other. In Islam we beleive the QURAN to be the word of GOD for entire humanity. A Quran in any country of the world WILL BE IDENTICAL in the wordings. THINK.
There is only one Bible in the English language – the King James Bible. In this time of falling away, many professed Christians are using and publishing various versions, thereby distorting the word of God, in order for it to agree with their sinful lies and in order to make money. There are various versions of the Koran also.
impossible if the quran is translated into english words will change in slightly in social meaning and order not to mention that not every word exists in every language. sorry but the only correct version is in islamic just like the original bible in greek etc but i understand what your trying to say
Raj, in many hearts in america the material comes first. The Fear of God does not exist much over here. His wisdom. I found out the in the Qu’ran that some scriptures were used from the KJV. King James was a very godly man and had total faith in Him, through Jesus. Many evils exist in this world all over, and all this fighting is not necessary. People are being used all ove by these evil ones in the higher up illuminati. who are the ones inciting the division, this has all been preplanned by the vatican. who gets in touch with the Black pope ‘hans” who is in contact with satan. This is a very much supernatural war that is going to be. check our Wesak Festival. and the world servers the new religion will be budda hinu. infested with wicca new agers from this 4th reich in place. witches here in the states are horrific. they do kill children in their sacrifices. and the wiccas kill children through the abortions. Very sad, but all their evil rituals are to help bring in these fallen angels and demons. womens lib was put into place to divide families these wicca- witches new age thinking people are an abomination to God. The ascended masters are here now. check out I AM Universty, Wisdom University, Temple of Presence, Sheldon Nidle , the galatic federation , Ishtar, jesus sonanda immanuel, st germaine and the list goes on. Ya know the US is still under the British rule, we are still a colony of England. Many people don’t know this. the laws on witchcraft are steep. Islam is British Republic also. The Shariah laws do exist and so do the witchcraft laws in England. we have no declaration of Independence , and the constitution was rendered null and void in the 1700′s. There is a fella who has much documents on all this. People can believe or not that is their choice. But the Only One who will save us is Jesus Christ. You will see what I mean as time goes on. God Bless you Raj.
I agree with Austin. It is only through Gods word and his holy spirit (that we must pray for) that gives us the understanding and through searching and seeking Gods Word is where we will find the truth and “accurate knowledge” that gives us greaT wisdom as to how to live our lives in accord with God and how to follow his Son’s example as closely as possible. The bible says that “faith without works is dead,” and that includes a diligent study of Gods word and living our lives as moral, good Christians. Matthew 17:13,14 says, “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad and spacious is the road leading of into destruction and many are going in through it, whereas narrow is the gate off into life and few are the ones finding it.” So that would involve a constant, diligent search of the scriptures and prayer for Gods Holy spirit for understanding, if we want to be on that “Narrow road leading to everlasting life. By continuing to argue, hate and judgee one another, you are only fulfilling prophesy. If everyone spent less time judging and debating, and more time truly studying Gods Word, you would be surprised at the vast amount of wisdom you will acquire. Which in turn will make each of us a better, kinder, more loving and forgiving Individual, which is exactly what Jehovah God asks of us and the example that his Son Jesus set for us to follow. Let’s leave the “judging” up to God, and focus more on learning accurate knowledge of Gods, teaching others about Gods Kingdom as Jesus did, and becoming a better, more peaceful, loving human beings.
The King James Bible is the true words of God. It was written the way that God wanted it from these scholared men that King James organized together. Did anyone ever give thought that this Holy book was written this way to make keep the words one of a kind. The 1769 has the exact words in it only made in more readable english. the new king james versions have been corrupted towards new age, and the evil ones placed a 666 symbol on front of this new king james book. the other bibles out there were published by ruppert murdock, who published satans bible, and westcott and hort also who had their hands in the niv and others, have mutilated the words of God. leaving out important scriptures and adding to God’s words. these people are masons, jesuits, and westcott and hort are certified warlocks in witchcraft. Somehow having these wicked demons involved with God’s words is disgusting to me. compare scriptures and you will find out.
The King James Bible is 400 years old, even though there were books ahead,they were not completed. Being reborn through Jesus Christ is the ONLY way that one will see God’s Kingdom. To the real Jesus Christ and not to some ascended fallen angel called Jesus Sananda Immanuel coming in on some spacecraft machine. They will be the demons, not aliens. yes call me crazy but look it up the chapter about Ezekiel s Vision. of that wheel. in the KJV Bible.
Wow! All I did was come on looking for an answer as to whether or not there is a King James version of the Catholic bible. My daughter and I were having a discussion that the New American bible and the New International bible were just versions or translations of the bible, and the only thing that makes mine Catholic is the Apocrypha. I told her I didn’t believe there was a “Catholic version” of the King James bible and she said she thought there was. So I was looking for that answer and instead I see comments so typical they nauseate me. Really? Catholic bashing? As a former Protestant I’m ashamed of all of you who have partaken in it. The Roman Catholic Church is the oldest church, started by St. Paul. Protestants seem very defensive because their various branches of faith came about later so maybe they feel the need to knock down Catholicism to make their branches of their faith look better? Kind of like the silly school yard game “my dad can beat up your dad” only on a much sadder level. Well, if Catholicism is a cult I’m very glad to be a part of it. I was baptized a Lutheran, went to various denominations with my parents over the years, and ended up a Methodist. It wasn’t until I converted to Catholicism that I found true peace, understanding, and joy in my religion. So I’m the happiest cult member around! Thanks for showing me that even such as simple as a debate about the translations of the bible can turn into a school yard brawl. It just reaffirms why I left the Protestant church.
im not a catholic but i really agree with you except for one thing i dont think you should even take into consideration separating the churches like you have your a christian not a catholic or methodist or whatever. every church both ‘protestant’ and catholic churches need to grow as proven by this conversation but people like you are needed to bridge this gap so show love to all christians and hope some day we can all be a closer family and sort out these issues
What you posted made a ton of sense. However, consider this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Difference Between Catholic Bible and King James Bible | Difference Between | Catholic Bible vs King James Bible is a little plain. You should look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post headlines to get people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
Each side seems to have a convincing argument as to which book is superior to the other.
Now, I don’t know if the following teaching is in every translation or if it is even included in ANY translation as I haven’t really read a bible. Perhaps it was merely taken from a bumper sticker–BUT it seems pretty witty and seems to possess an intuitive truth to it:
“Shut up! And know that I am God!
–and RajHassan doesn’t believe the “QURAN to be the word of GOD for entire humanity.”
He believes the Quran is the WORDS of God for all humanity. That’s a much more dangerous position.
Jesus Christ is God, He was born through the Virgin Mary, she concieved by the Holy Ghost. So Jesus could walk on this earth to die on that cross, so we could live if we accepted His Salvation, and become reborn again through His blood. Many words and scriptures are missing out of the other Bibles. and many words change it to a different meaning in other Bibles . the niv says rainbow, but King James Bible says bow as in Genesis 1 bow is a white light, the colors come from within. the relgular rainbow we see comes from a prism of colors that come from material means . anything material is of lucifer. The idols in the catholic church, or any church are against God, no graven images , nothing material . It is about the Faith shown to Jesus Christ, not some reminder to remind us of Jesus.
John
(K.J.V. 1611) .
1 In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not.
Exodus 20:
(K.J.V. 1611) .
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
3 Thou shalt haue no other Gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make vnto thee any grauen Image, or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue, orthat is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water vnder the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe to them, nor serue them: For I the Lord thy God am a iealous God, visitingthe iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me:
6 And shewing mercy vnto thousands of them that loue mee, and keepe my Commandements.
John 20 KJV1611
27 Then saith he to Thomas Reach hither thy finger, and beholde my hands, and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side, and bee not faithlesse, but beleeuing.
28 And Thomas answered, and said vnto him, My Lord, and my God.
29 Iesus saith vnto him, Thomas, because thou hast seene mee, thou hast beleeued: blessed are they that haue notseene, and yet haue beleeued.
John 14 KJV1611
1 Let not your heart be troubled: yee beleeue in God, beleeue also in me.
John 14
6 Iesus saith vnto him, I am the Way, the Trueth, and the Life: no man commeth vnto the Father but by mee.
John 14
(K.J.V. 1611) .
1 Let not your heart be troubled: yee beleeue in God, beleeue also in me.
2 In my Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would haue told you: I goe to prepare a place foryou.
3 And if I goe and prepare a place for you, I will come againe, and receiue you vnto my selfe, that where I am,there ye may be also.
4 And whither I goe yee know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith vnto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how can we know the way?
6 Iesus saith vnto him, I am the Way, the Trueth, and the Life: no man commeth vnto the Father but by mee.
7 If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and haue seene him.
8 Philip sayth vnto him, Lord, shew vs the Father, and it sufficeth vs.
9 Iesus saith vnto him, Haue I bin so long time with you, and yet hast thou not knowen me, Philip? he that hathseene me, hath seene the father, and how sayest thou then, Shew vs the father?
10 Beleeuest thou not that I am in the father, and the father in mee? The words that I speake vnto you, I speaknot of my selfe: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doth the works.
11 Beleeue me that I am in the Father, and the Father in mee: or else beleeue me for the very workes sake.
12 Uerely, verely I say vnto you, he that beleeueth on me, the works that I doe, shall hee doe also, and greaterworkes then these shall he doe, because I goe vnto my Father.
13 And whatsoeuer ye shall aske in my Name, that will I doe, that the Father may be glorified in the Sonne.
14 If ye shall aske any thing in my Name, I will doe it.
15 If ye loue me, keepe my commandements.
16 And I will pray the Father, and hee shall giue you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for euer,
17 Euen the Spirit of trueth, whom the world cannot receiue, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him, for hee dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I wil not leaue you comfortlesse, I will come to you.
19 Yet a litle while, and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me, because I liue, ye shall liue also.
20 At that day ye shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandements, and keepeth them, hee it is that loueth me: and he that loueth me shall beloued of my Father, and I will loue him, and will manifest my selfe to him.
22 Iudas saith vnto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thy selfe vnto vs, and not vntothe world?
23 Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, If a man loue mee, he will keepe my wordes: and my Father will loue him,and wee will come vnto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loueth mee not, keepeth not my sayings, and the word which you heare, is not mine, but the Fatherswhich sent mee.
25 These things haue I spoken vnto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father wil send in my name, he shal teach you al things,& bring al things to your remembrance, whatsoeuer I haue said vnto you.
27 Peace I leaue with you, my peace I giue vnto you, not as the world giueth, giue I vnto you: let not yourheart bee troubled, neither let it bee afraid.
28 Ye haue heard how I saide vnto you, I goe away, and come againe vnto you. If ye loued mee, yee would reioyce,because I said, I go vnto the Father: for my Father is greater then I.
29 And now I haue told you before it come to passe, that when it is come to passe, ye might beleeue.
30 Heereafter I will not talke much with you: for the prince of this world commeth, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I loue the Father: and as the Father gaue me commandement, euen so I doe:Arise, let vs goe hence.
Also The chapter was John 1 (the scriptures I had posted previously on here. And also Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven after He rose from the dead, a very important event for us to gain Salvation. Total Faith ties it all in. gut wrenching tears flowing Faith in Jesus Christ
John 1
(K.J.V. 1611) .
1 In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not.
John 14
(K.J.V. 1611) .
10 Beleeuest thou not that I am in the father, and the father in mee? The words that I speake vnto you, I speak not of my selfe: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doth the works.
11 Beleeue me that I am in the Father, and the Father in mee: or else beleeue me for the very workes sake.
12 Uerely, verely I say vnto you, he that beleeueth on me, the works that I doe, shall hee doe also, and greaterworkes then these shall he doe, because I goe vnto my Father.
13 And whatsoeuer ye shall aske in my Name, that will I doe, that the Father may be glorified in the Sonne.
1 Corinthians 15 KJV1611
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed vpon me, was not in vaine: But Ilaboured more abundantly then they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me:
11 Therefore, whether it were I or they, so we preach, aud so ye beleeued.
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrectionof the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen.
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine:
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we haue testified of God, that he raised vp Christ:whom hee raised not vp, if so bee that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised.
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine, ye are yet in your sinnes.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleepe in Christ, are perished.
19 If in this life only we haue hope in Christ, wee are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue.
23 But euery man in his owne order. Christ the first fruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his comming.
24 Then commeth the end, when he shall haue deliuered vp the kingdome to God euen the Father, when he shall haueput downe all rule, and all authority and power.
25 For he must reigne, till hee hath put all enemies vnder his feete.
26 The last enemie that shall be destroyed, is death.
Something that I believe is missing is the Fear of the Lord. Many place the material in front of them so, this blinds their view to see Jesus Christ. It is all about Faith, giving our whole self to Jesus to guide us, and becoming reborn so we can have Eternal life in the Kingdome of Heaven through His Salvation.
Proverbs 1:7 KJV
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Psalm 111:10 KJV
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 9:10 KJV
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
The Douay-Rheims Version was published in 1609. The KJV in 1611. If you compare the two versions they are almost mere carbon copies of each other.The KJV was even published with the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha was removed because it contradicted the teachings of the Old Testament and there was no light in them. So to say which bible is better, I cannot answer that question. However there are new translations that cannot be relied upon… NIV, The Jerusalem Bible, NKJV, Living Bible, The Good News Bible, New American Standard Bible and many others. These are counterfeits. The only most accurate bible translation is the DRV and KJV.
As to the problems in translation of the word of God or the conflict as to which is the actual word of God or not? As one who is a Christian First and see all who believe in Christ and His teachings. Judgment as to wrong or right will be with him and not with any of us! The Douray was written several years before the KJV versions. Now there are a few more books in the Douray and if it is older than it may have some wisdom not found in other versions. We are Christians first and as a Christian I am to love each and everyone of you which ever version you read! So just keep reading and learn to live by what Chirst taught!
