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.
