1 John 4 testing the spirits to see that they are of God
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Jerome and others took the Latin Vulgate and Vaticanus which come from the Alexandrian texts. They like to call it the monority texts ( 1% of the texts found as opposed to the Textus Receptus, the Majority texts) the "best texts" because they were so clear and undamaged. The reason they were so clear and undamaged is because they were recognized for the abomination that they were and were waiting in a pile of trash to go into an ancient incinerator. These texts show definite doctrinal differences that many deny today. They were in mint condition because they weren't used and studied. The scholars of the time knew they were wrong.
Catholics were once users of the Douey Reims bible (Alexandrain origin), but are now using also the New American Bible (Alexandrian origin), the NASV and the NASB.
Pope Paul IV banned the Textus Receptus in 1559 (forerunner of the KJV).
The www.blueletterbible.org is a great site to check out Bible version agaisnt each other. Here's what I got when I looked for the name of Jehovah in the NASB
"Sorry! The word Jehovah doesn't occur in the NASB. "
Here's what I got with the KJV from the Textus Receptus;
Exd 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. Psa 83:18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. Isa 12:2 Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation. Isa 26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength:
Here's what I got when checking for 1 John 5
KJV;
. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
RSV
7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree
7 For there are three that testify:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
Can you see what is missing here? Odd too, because we know the Catholics believe in the trinity, yet it is minimized in the other versions.
Let's look at another one.
Colossians 1:14
KJV
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
RSV
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
NASB
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Pretty bad huh?
Acts 8:37
KJV
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
RSV
vs 37 AND 38 are OMITTED, they simply aren't there.
NASB
[And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]
Note the brackets, these often mean they don't really believe the scripture belongs there.
The NIV has it. But the
English standard version has it ommitted.
The Latin Vulgate omits it too
Omitted from the VUL. See the button for additional information.
New living Translation
Omitted
There are several versions that leave it in thankfully.
There are many other examples, Eph 3:14, I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ is left off).
Gal 4:7 An heir of God through Christ. (Christ is left off)
Eph 3:9 God who created all things by Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ is left off)
Col 1:2 our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Lord Jesus Christ is left off)
1 John 4:3 And evey spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not if God (they reword; every sprit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God)
I could go on and on.

Does the Catholic Bible include Leviticus?
Roman Catholic AnswerFunny thing about that, the Catholic Church wrote and approved the Bible, all approved Bibles are "Catholic Bibles". Without the Catholic Church there would be no Bible today. The only non-Catholic Bibles are protestant Bibles, and the only difference in them, is that they have removed some books from the Old Testament with which they did not agree. So, to answer your question, of course the Bible includes the book of Leviticus.
What are the books of the Gospel in the Catholic Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Gospels in the Bible are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The "Catholic Bible" is the Bible as used by the Church for two millenium.
What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.

Catholics and Christians Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo difference, Catholic and Christian is the same thing.

What bible does the Greek catholic church use?
The Greek Catholic Church uses the same Bible editions that the other Catholic churches use (i.e. the churches in communion with the see of Rome - -Roman Catholic, Syrian Catholic, Ruthenian Catholic, Maronite, etc.). In the Greek Language this is the Septuagint for the Old Testament, and the original koineGreek text, sometimes called the Textus Receptus or Received Text by Biblical scholars. In English, in the United States, the main text used is the New American Bible. Also used in different times, places and contexts, are the Catholic Edition of the Revised Standard Version, the Jerusalem Bible, the Douay-Reims-Challoner version, the Ronald Knox Translation (now sadly out of print), and perhaps for teaching purposes, the Catholic Edition of the Good News Bible, which is more paraphrase than translation. The Catholic (both Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic) canon of the Old Testament includes not only the books found in most Protestant editions of the Old Testament, but also the Deuterocanonical Books. The Deuterocanonical Books are found in the Septuagint in Greek, but are not found in the Hebrew Masoretic text.

What is Roman Catholic Bible written in?
.Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. .The Catholic Bible was originally all in Greek, the Old Testament was the Septuagint, translated by the Jews in the fourth century (approximately) B.C., and the New Testament was written in Greek. The official Bible was established in the fourth century A.D. and translated into Latin by Jerome in order that the common people could have access to it. At that time, Latin was the standard language for anyone who could read and write. Later, the Church began translated the Bible into native languages for the people as they were no longer literate in Latin. The official Bible remains in Latin, to which all translations should adhere..I know you didn't ask, but "Roman Catholic Bible"? All Bibles are based on the Bible that the Catholic Church wrote, and approved. The only difference with non-Catholic Bibles is that they do not accept the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament, even though Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ used that version. The "protestant" New Testament would not exist if they hadn't taken it from the Catholic Church.
