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.

Why does the Church of Christ ignore scriptures that don't fit their traditions?

To ignore things that may affect their faith.That makes no sense. They are ignoring God's words. There are many scriptures in the Bible that say true Christians are not under the law at all...no law of any kind. The church claims these scriptures mean the opposite to what they say, and will not discuss them. The church has its traditions, and will uphold them at all costs, even over the Bible..Catholic AnswerIf you are referring to the Catholic Church, Catholics believe that the Catholic Church is what Our Blessed Lord founded to save all men throughout all time. That CHURCH wrote the Scriptures (The New Testament) throughout the first hundred years after Our Blessed Lord left His Church in charge. Then in the late fourth century, the Catholic Church, through Her pope and Bishops drew up the canon of Scripture. The Catholic Church CANNOT ignore any Scriptures, nor, for that matter, can any Scriptures not fit with Tradition. ALL Scripture came out of Tradition, and the Church, by its very commission from God must uphold both, which is why it cannot countenance the protestant heresies which ignore Tradition, and mutilate the Scriptures.

What thing did the Roman church place on a level with the Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerYou have this a little confused. First of all, when you are asking about the "Roman" Church, I assume that you are asking about the Catholic Church. Secondly, if you are asking about the Catholic Church, then please realize that the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. The Church, as in the Pope and the Bishops are not capable of making a decision as to placing anything on the same level as the Bible, the Church only receiveswhat It believes from God, and It must follow what It has received. Finally, read your history, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible in the first century as part of Its preaching, had two Councils and a Pope decided which books belong in the Bible in the fourth and fifth century, and has carefully preserved the Sacred Scriptures from error since then. The Sacred Scriptures which are the very Word of God (Jesus Christ) in the Words of God is part of the Sacred Tradition that Our Blessed Lord gave Her to teach to the people everywhere at all times.

If the Protestant Bible is King James what is the name of Catholic Bible?

Catholic AnswerThere is no "Protestant Bible". The Bible translation most commonly used by protestants is the Authorized Version, commonly known as the King James Version, which is the name of a translation of the Bible. The Bible is a whole collection of books, and as such does not have a name. The early Church used the Septuagint for their Old Testament, and had many different scrolls in Latin and Greek for their New Testament Scriptures. The first "official" Bible, as in one continuous book was The Vulgate which was a translations of all the Scriptures by St. Jerome in the fourth century. The closest thing that the Catholic Church has in English is the Douay-Rheims translation, which was made about the same time as the Authorized Version.
