Even though i am not sure what you are asking when referring to a "second bible" i will attempt to help you. Several faiths use books in addition to the Bible that they consider as sacred to support their beliefs; examples Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses. The catholic faith uses a version of the Bible that is the same Bible as the protestant churches use with the exception being the Catholic Bible contains 8 books in the Old Testament that are omitted from versions of the Bible the protestant churches use. Even though this is the case both protestants and catholics agree on the central theme in the Bible; salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and the Bible is the only source where the sacred word of God to man is be found; this being true there would be no "second bible".

Regardless of your religious beliefs, the Bible contains good lessons for everyone.
