Bible Note: Dear Kingbass, Genesis 38:8-10 is worded in essentially the same way in the King James Bible,a Protestant version, and also the NASB and the NIV. By the way, the Catholic version of the Bible is the same as the Protestant Bible except for the addition of the aprocrypha. It does not teach anything any differently.The word of God is not corrupted in any way. The Roman Catholic teaching departs from Protestant teaching in that many of the teachings in the catechism, for instance, are not directly from the Bible but from tradition or Papal decree.
