1 | Why is the Catholic bible different? | 2 Tim 3:16 | stjames7 | 183845 | ||
The Catholic Bible contains the additional Old Testament books of: 1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach and Baruch. In Protestant Bibles these may be included under the heading of the Apocrypha. These books were included in the Septuagint translations in Greek but not in the Hebrew canon. The early Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit (Jn 14:26, 16:13 Acts 2:1-5) complied a canon of writings which, through the guidance of the Spirit, they deemed inspired. Many documents were discarded as heretical or false such as the gospels of Thomas, Hebrews, the Egyptians and the Epistle of Barnabas among others (2 Tim 4:3). After the Council of Hippo in 393, the writings that were kept became the canon for more than 1,000 years until the Reformation. At that time Luther called for a rejection of several books considered to be inspired (including Revelation). However Luther was just one man and did not have the authority to remove or add anything to the canon. The issue was formally settled by the Catholic Church during the Council of Trent in 1546. The structure of the modern Catholic Bible is basically unchanged from the 4th century (2 Pet 1:20). The Protestant Bible is based on the original canon minus the 7 aforementioned books. | ||||||
