You can download the KJV free from the internet. The version we have in KJV bibles we see today is from a revision. So the looks lots different than the one we are used to seeing. Kim 20dec Your appeal to study is admirable: however you do not seem to have got as far as you might.

And Jamestown was founded by a joint stock company, not by King James, and initially did not involve slavery — again, you need to study history more closely. Wikipedia does not qualify as A credible source.

If you ever need know that. I was baptized Catholic. But now in my 60s I would to start. Thank you for any help. Hi June, So glad to hear of your interest. Best place to go? Your nearest Catholic Church. RCIA Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult is for everyone who is curious to know more about the Catholic faith confirmed Catholics included and really help to better understand the complexities and beauty of Catholism.

God Bless you on your journey and welcome home! Disagree here also 1. Get yourself a King James Bible and read it yourself. As you read, ask the Holy Spirit in prayer to teach you; that is His job. Joh But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Wondering if there were big differences.

The KJV will not steer you wrong. And please start your Bible reading in the third chapter of John, where Jesus tells the life-long Catholic Priest that unless he is Born Again, he cannot see or enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus would like to save you, all by Himself.

If you add to Jesus, you make Him less. If you say you need to do something to save yourself, then YOU are your savior. That means instead of trying to make yourself good enough for God, good luck with that, BTW, you simply repent of that and accept Jesus instead. A one for one. How is Jesus talking to a Catholic priest in John chapter 3 if the Catholic Church was not established until after His death?

What in John 3 says that? Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus, a pharisee, a religious person, might as well have been a priest. Catholic priests are, by their beliefs and extra-biblical doctrines, holier and more righteous than Christ Himself. They are the first that truly need the second birth.

Thank you! I was beginning to wonder if anyone even knew the truth. Catholics are not Christians — Christians are not Catholics. Thank you for your response which was put together very well, enough for a small child to understand. Catholics were the first Christians we wrote the Bible. We have been around for years. Peter which means Rock is who Jesus built His Church upon. Oh dear, someone is brainwashed.

The fall of Rome, yes. We crucified Peter upside down at his request for spreading the Gospel! We better look good for all to see!

Try to cover up the hundreds of thousands that we fed to the lions! God will speak to your hearts. His sheep know his voice. Read John 3. And pray where you are. God hears you. Who set up the Catholic Church of which Peter was the first Pope? Actually,Peter means small pebble. Jesus is The Rock upon which the church is iilt.

He is the foundation. But, Catholics always give Peter special honors as if Peter had a superior holiness. Peter was jacked up just like each of us, but God used him anyway. Why do they call themselves Catholics instead of just Christian? This issue with exalting Peter idol is one of the reasons, along with requiring ppl to pay an indulgence to get a relative out of purgatory, that Martin Luther protested against Catholicism with writing Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences The 95 Thesis.

Catholicism is more focused on teaching and upholding its religious traditions as opposed to encouraging its congregants to develop a real relationship with Christ that is personal and knowledge based. In other words, Catholics are to the church what the Pharisees were to the Temple! In latin Catholic means one united Christian church so technically Catholic is Christian just a latin term for it. In regards to Peter being the Rock there are two words used one being Petra and the other being Petros.

One meaning a pebble and the other a huge boulder. For as many as call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. One the contrary. The Catholic fairh is Christian. Tina, Because the Catholic Bible was the only biblical text at the time that was of any use to the King James Bible scholars. Your statement is just ignorant. Ignorance is a lack of true knowledge. Educate yourself. The world Christian simply means that one does and obeys all the teachings of Christ.

Yet Catholics claim they were given authority to change the 10 commandments. They even falsely declare that gods holy sanctified Sabbath day has been changed to Sunday the pagan first day of the week. We know the Sabbath will never be changed from its original date because God prophesied in the old testament book of Daniel, while talking about the end times on earth, that the beast will change his days and laws.

Which is exactly what the Catholic church did in the year under pagan Roman emperor Constantine. Yet God told us in the book of Daniel, that whoever changed his laws would be doing it under the authority of the beast. Hardly christian.

The Catholic Church is the one true Church of Christ. It was the first and all others are separated from it. Do your work before making false claims. You know a lot of people love to speak without the truth of the knowledge. The old testament was written because that was the law the our creator has put upon us, but the new testament is where jesus Christ our savior the creators only son has be cruxified for us and he came to change some of the laws of the old testament.

Why did Jesus with the creators permission permit for jesus to change the 10 commandment to save his children that he love a lot because he knew that with the devil roaming around not everyone was able to keep all ten commandments. That is in the bible that Jesus himself changed the commandments, not the catholics.

You can take the 7 day to go to church to praise the lord, read the bible and keep it holy by not doing other things, but dedicating it to the Lord. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. Mark If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But there are some who are disturbing you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ. His Call by Christ. Here the Lord is telling all of you that there is only one church which he establish years ago the Roman Catholic and he is offended that you allowed for others to decive you to go to false churches. Matthew And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the Gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Peter was the first pope of the Roman Catholic the church that Jesus Christ established and said you must go and attend to it.

Plus Peter is the only one that can get you to heaven, so no other churches can. One God, One church and one teaching. God bless!!! Do you know about the Schism? Some of what you have said here is not what all Catholics are taught. Jesus fulfilled the law. When he rose from the dead, all changed from the physical to the spiritual.

Praise God! If that were not truth, we would still have to sacrifice animals to be forgiven. Our Lord scrificed his perfect blood. Those of us that have have his spirit in our hearts also have the beautiful gift of grace. No one can stop sinning. Our flesh is sin. God sees only our hearts. Knock and the door shall be opened. Seek and ye shall find. The Holy Spirit will bring all truth.

Love and light through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jews and Muslims consider Christians idolaters because they made a man into a god. It appears Christians have changed the first two commandments. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Catholics are the first Christians. They are called Catholics by St Ignatius of Antioch to describe the universality of their mission.

Acts …And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Colossians Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men… If you can only find the reason that you are doing something in religious sect literature, you might be following a tradition started by a man or men that want to control others. How many times have I heard that if one commits suicide they are going to hell?

Humans have weaknesses but if you let Jesus into your heart, He will never leave you or forsake you. Do you talk to God through Jesus Christ? If not you are following a tradition of men. God bless you all as you seek the Truth. John Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the light…No man cometh unto the Father but by me. Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ is a Christian regardless of what faith you claim to be.

Some may be misguided nevertheless still a Christian. Atheists are not Christians. Agnostics are not also. Please bear this in mind. Not everyone the believes in Jesus is a Christian.

The bible is very specific about this, it says that even the demons believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Does that make them Christian? It is only those that confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in their heart that he has saved them.

Repenting of their sin and turning from there wicked ways. Belief without change is just religion. Do you even know what the word Catholic means? It means, universal. In essence all Christians are Catholic. All denominations of Christianity derrive from the mother church.

Catholicism is different as it is idolatry to Mother Mary and he Pope, Christianity does not idol anyone but Christ. Where are you getting your information from?? Catholics are indeed Christians. Jesus is the One Who established the Catholic Church.

Catholic means universal. I was trying to figure out which Bible was right for me. Our new young pastor says any are good, but I have noticed the meaning is changed with the wording. Thank you for helping me to realize KJV the right bible. My Pastor taught us that the King James Version is the best way and that we should pray as well as read.

He feels that it is fine to use other versions to compare but the base of our reading for our growth should he be the King James Version. I just know that it is. So as just a regular person I recommend the original King James Version. Using other versions to help you study or for clarification.

Best wishes. First of all you say that he was catholic. Not true he was a pharisees. Second of all did you read john and john Why do people constantly pick on the Catholic church when we follow what Jesus taught us to the best of our ability. If you Truly believe Jesus is Lord and try to follow His teachings to the best of your ability, you are saved… Also Luke We are all followers of the same Christ Jesus. Do Catholics not read scripture? I have wondered about the 7th day and what was the name of the seventh day when God ended all of his creation?

Did not the Jewish calendar read from right to left? What if we today would read from right to left, what would be the seventh day then? Are you a born again? Cause what you are saying is self opinionated , prejudice and stupid, I would not trust a born again they are all sckers. And please pray to God, and not to Jesus. We should always pray to God even if we believe in the holy Trinity. If you do your history the calendar has changed multiple times.

A Jewish calendar of today or a Georgian calendar will not ever match to the oldest ones found. As for changing day of the week of the Sabbath you must also remember the Bible says every day is to be treated as the sabbath. You truly need to read more.

As for Catholics idolizing Mary I partly agree but only because that is what I was taught. To me praying to Mary is wrong because no man comes to the Father except through Christ. And I think confession is weird too because to me it is almost going backwards where sacrifices were given and the priest of the old testament did the prayers and asked for God to forgive his people.

I dont care what day they worship on Or what Bible they use or if they attend Church of some type or not. John is my reasoning for that. And the law of the old testament was fulfilled by Christ so if the 10 commandments were changed then why and what? You have shown no evidence of such. So please give clear things words and meanings change and words are removed from dictionaries or added all the time so updated to help people understand not to remove anything.

Amen to that! The are two points in seperate posts that need to be addressed: first-All Catholics are Christians while not all Christians are Catholic. All one needs to look at is John as a start. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

No church other than the Holy Roman Catholic church has this or ever will. In the beginning was the Catholic universal church. Protest-ant came out of this. Christ is perfect and his church isnt but the Holy Spirit guides it till the end of time as he promised. God Bless all reading this.

Peter was a devout Jew. Catholics despise jews and reject their teachings and traditions. False prophet Catholics changed gods times 7th day Sabbath for 1st day sabbath and holy feast days instead of Passover, they honor manmade pagan Easter and christmas.

Hint: no-one in the bible even honored birthdays because it was rooted in sorcery and astrology. Wake up. I get the impression that perpetual in this context is kind of beyond days of the week. Like scripture should be. Plus with the changing of calendars through the ages, day names would have been moved around, so would god just like the name Friday, or would it be a actual day marked but now lost, or is it just arbitrary!?

The noun form is used primarily to denote the seventh day of the week, though it may occasionally refer to the Sabbath week Lev at the end of every seven Sabbaths or fifty days, or the Sabbath year Lev in which the land was to be at complete rest. Then Enemy has taken up residence in your heart.

Through hatred you have opened a door to Satan and he has confused and perverted your faith — as is his want. Remember God loves all of his creation — without exception.

Every single person. When you can rid yourself of your judgmental urges, and sincerely love all people without measuring their worth by your standards, you will become once again as pure as the day of your birth.

Why do you speak of Daniel, or Melchizedek, or Solomon? Christ did not choose Paul to follow him while He walked the Earth.

Yet all of you so called Christians worship the words of Paul as the true word of God. Pray for true revelation and discernment. God will answer…and enlighten you. I am the way the truth and the life. If we both believe these words in the Bible we we know the Christ was the anointed one and Jesus appeared to Saul and became a chosen vessel of Christ to take the word t o all that would believe. Christ is no respector of persons. Paul did not self proclaim. Satan is so smart.

What better way to cause hate than to use different churches and doctrines? Judgement is not our job. Light and love from our Lord Jesus Christ. I am a Catholic and have been all my life. I do not hate Jews. My Church, my Catholic faith does not hate Jews. For some reason I get the distinct impression that you might hate us???

I only hold up my Lord, Jesus Christ as my Savior. Catholic doctrine teaches this, but it is a self-serving error. Why do you think Martin Luther had such problems with the Catholic Church and what it taught, like indulgences and purgatory.

Get out of religion and find you a strong teaching ministry focused on teaching the exegetical word of God only! Your post was very informative except for the accuracy of John and in the third chapter about Nicodemus going to Jesus. There was no Catholics then. They came about way after Christ. Just an FYI. Peter was the first poop he was the successor to Christ he still is Christ on earth.

If you read the Bible you would know that because Jesus said that our theater and upon this rock I will build my church. Jesus is the Word. Born agains give other Christians a bad name. They listen to CDs of teachings not realizing they are keeping some fraudster rich who is reading a verse from a KJV. The God of Luck is actually Satan himself. God says to throw your burdens on him.

Catholic came long before KJV! People like you need to step back and learn a bit more before running the mouth! It is supposed to all be about God! If an opinion is asked for and you feel inclined to give one, do it! But it is only an opinion. Just as the Bible is…an opinion! I was raised Catholic. I am Methodist. I know if something is missing is wordage I refer elsewhere to get all info I need.

But KJV is just that! People wrote what King James told them to! He was not God! He was a person! He had an opinion and gave it and happened to have the power to get a book written…which by the way left out several books for the Bible!

Know your history before running your mouth and bullying people…. If you were baptized Catholic, then you are on the right track. If you want the truth I would recommend the Jerusalem Bible. Catholicism which means universal is years old started by Jesus Himself. Simon Peter Peter, which means Rock was our first Pope. Just do your research and decide for yourself. A few differences were in punctuation. He went to the grave. On the third day, He rose and stayed on earth for 40 days before ascending.

Doug Girardot September 30, Amid such a multitude of choices, what is the best Bible translation for Catholics? The importance of translation For many Catholics, finding the right Bible translation can seem a tricky topic to broach.

The bottom line As all three scholars mentioned, no one Bible is better in all ways than every other. Show Comments. Join the conversation: Login or create an account.
