Subject: Why is the Catholic bible different? |
Bible Note: Greetings, Are you suggesting that the Torah is inaccurate, since the Jewish Scribes rejected all of the writings of the Apocrypha? You suggest that the following verses were directed toward the Catholic Church since you stated. “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” It takes a real vivid imagination to construct “any” denomination from the word “you”, as used in the passages you suggested. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Acts 2:1-5 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. I have always been under the impression that the word, “you”, was a personal pronoun? The Holy Spirit directs “individuals” that have put their “total faith” in the finished work of the Son of God, Jesus, not collective denominations. Christ is building His own church, apart from any denomination, and all of the members are a part of that one body and Christ is the head. Those that put their faith and hope in “any particular denomination” are going to have a rude awakening as soon as they take their last breath! Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Faith in Jesus isn’t a religious or denominational issue; it’s a relationship matter and the word “believe” needs clarification in order to be truly effective. Have a good day, CDBJ |
