To all the other Christians, do you know how we are suppose to live our life? it says it in the new testament.To some Christians, Why do some of you teach false readings and false messages?
People seem to forget what the term ';Bible'; means. It is Greek and translates to the Book\s. It was compiled by the Roman Catholic Church, and what I mean by compiled, the Holy Scriptures where taken and compiled into one book. The Most Accurate Bible to date is the official bible of the Roman Catholic Church, that is to say the Latin Vulgate. In AD 382 Pope St. Damasus commissioned St. Jerome (Hieronymous), the leading biblical scholar of his day, to produce a translation of the Bible to replace the Old Latin Bible,which had become corrupted through copyists' errors.
St. Jerome applying himself to the task by papal warrant had access to the best extant manuscripts -- which were much closer to the original manuscripts in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic than anything still existing today. In many cases the New Testament scriptural texts were within a few generations of the original manuscripts penned by the Apostles.
The year 1558A.D. marked the beginning of increasing hardships and persecution in England for followers of the Vulgate. Some were forced to flee to the European mainland for safety. Some went to Douay, France, where a college had been founded for the training of missionaries to return to England; of which many were martyred. It was there, ten years later, that Gregory Martin began to translate the Latin Vulgate into English.
The Rheims New Testament was published in 1582 A.D. in a single volume. For want of finances, the Old Testament was not published until the first volume appeared in 1609 A. D., and the second volume completing the Old Testament in 1610A.D.
The Douay-Rheims Bible was created for distribution in England. However the stringent Protestant Penal Laws in England forbade the entrance and ownership of this, God's Holy Word, which was considered inimical to the English government and highly treasonable. An interesting contretemps from those who claimed to be setting God's Word free.
One year later, in 1611 A.D., the Protestant King James Version,also known as the Authorized Version, was issued; but the Catholic Douay-Rheims was not allowed legal entry until the18th century. The King James Version was virtually a translation from Luther's German to English, and NOT';diligently compared with original Hebrew and Greek'; as it claimed --- there being no original Hebrew or Greek manuscripts in existence.
Since the King James Version of 1611 A.D., it was as though Luther's';Bible'; was the Bible of 1,100 years, and not the Latin Vulgate. The King James Version was permitted to stand without the competition and comparison with the Vulgate or the Douay-Rheims translation.
Let us consider the determination to dissolve Christ from the Old Testament. This is plain in the King James Version(Authorized Version), where the various names of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, are removed more than 100 times. 21 times the name Christ is deleted, where it appears in the Vulgate and Douay.
It is extremely important, of course, to comply with the words of Jesus that we change not a single word of His; however, the name JESUS can be much more important in one verse than in another!
JESUS is taken out by Luther in his';Bible,'; in: Mt. 5:1; 8:26; 9:23; 16:15; 17:19;20:17; 22:20; 26:18; Mk. 9:15; 16:1; 16:19; Lk. 4:38; 6:11;14:1; 18:31; 20:3; 22:2; 24:36; Jn. 2:8; 4:1; Acts 5:41;9:17; 9:20; 10:48; 16:7; 18:4; 18:25; 24:24; Rom. 8:34;15:16; 16:9; I Cor. 4:17; II Cor. 2:14; Eph. 3:6; Phil.3:9; Col. 1:7; 2:2; 4:12; II Thes. 2:8; Phile. 8; Heb. 4:14-16; 9:24; Jude 5,24,25; Hab. 3:18.
CHRIST is taken out by Luther in his';Bible,'; in: I K. 2:10; 2:35; 12:3; 12:5; 16:6; IIK. 22:51; II Par. 6:42; Ps. 2:2; 17:51; 19:7; 83:10; 88:39;88:52; 131:10; 131:17; Is. 45:1; Lam. 4:20; Hab. 3:13; Acts4:33; 10:48; 28:31; Rom. 3:26;4: 24; 8:35; 10:17; I Cor.2:1; 4:16; 5:5; II Cor. 5:15; 11:4; Gal. 4:31; Eph. 5:21;5:29; Col. 3:15; 3:17; I Thes. 4:17; Heb. 10:19; 13:20; IPet. 3:15; Jude 24, 25; Apocalypse 11:15-19.
JESUS is added by Luther in his ';Bible,';in: Mt. 8:5; 13:36; 13:51; 14:14; 14:25; 15:16;15:30; 16:6; 17:11; 24:2; Mk. 5:19; 7:27; 10:50; 11:14;11:15; Lk. 7:22; 8:35; 10:21; 10:39; 10:41; 13:2; Jn. 4:46;13:3; 19:23; 20:21; 21:17; Acts 3:26; 9:28; Eph. 3:9; I Jn.5:20.
CHRIST is added by Luther in his ';Bible,';in: Mt. 23:8; Mk. 13:6; Lk. 4:41; Jn. 4:42; Acts16:31; Gal. 3:17; 4:7; Eph. 3:9; Jn. 5:20.
At any rate the Bible is incomplete (Jn. 20, 31 ; 21, 25) and this is where Tradition comes in and is why Tradition is important. Heck the Holy Scriptures are a Tradition (Divine Tradition), Moses wasn't born until around 4200 A.M. (Anno Mundi), or Around 1500 A.C. (Ante Christum) or commonly known as B.C. It is interesting how many that I have spoken to seem to accuse the Roman Catholic Church of error because of Tradition, because it was God through man, and man is fallible. LOL, so was the Holy Scriptures!
I also don't understand how Protestants claim to be Christians, Catholic is the Title of Christianity, Christianity is One Faith as God decreed in the Holy Scriptures, yet you have Protestants who have doctrine that is contradictory to Christian Doctrine, and Holy Scriptures, i.e. Sola Scriptura. How can one be apart of that ';one Faith'; (Eph. 4, 5) if they follow a doctrine contrary the the Christian Doctrine, the Doctrine of the Apostles and of Christ?
GRobit625 you must be talking about liberal Catholics, or those who do not know their faith properly enough to defend it properly. These are serious questions, and at least there is someone here on Yahoo Answers willing to ask these questions. Heck most are to scared of hurting someones feelings. But how will they ever find the truth if no one is there to push them in the correct direction. Protestants that are humble will truly look at some of these questions, and maybe a light bulb will light up in there head and they will see all their errors. But that is again only possible if someone brings it up.To some Christians, Why do some of you teach false readings and false messages?
well any born again believer is going to only use the WOrd of God, therfore there is nothing false in that.
But there are ppl who claim Christianity and they arent saved,they are on their wat to hell with all the unbelievers.
That's a huge difference in people. The hearers and the doers.
God gave us the Bible, not the Catholic church. It did not come around until around 300 years later. It is the apostate church of Christ.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1Ti 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
It all depends on your interpetation of scripture. I could say the same about your church.
Your explanation is?
