Best Answer

The New Testament used by the protestants is the same New Testament that the Christian Church has always used. The Christian Church has always used the same Old Testament that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, used, which was the Septuagint: the Greek translation of the Old Testament Bible made in the fourth century before Christ and used by most of the Jews in the first century A.D. The Jews who did not accept Jesus as the promised Messiah, in the second century removed the Deuterocanoical books from their Bible as they supported specifically Christian teachings, and are referred to numerous times in the New Testament. Martin Luther fourteen centuries later, when he was making up his own religion, removed these same books on the grounds that the Jews had. The Catholic Church indeed added in many books to the Bible, they are called the New Testament today by all Christians. The only subtractions or additions since then has been Martin Luther mutilating the Old Testament scriptures and adding words to the New Testament to support his novel teachings.

Catholics and Christians Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerNo difference, Catholic and Christian is the same thing. I imagine that you are asking the difference between a Catholic/Christian Bible and a protestant Bible, which protestants may refer to as a Christian Bible. Protestants have removed a number of books from the Old Testament as they were uncomfortable with not believing things that the Bible said, so they changed the Bible.


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.
