I’ll bet our leader didn’t anticipate this. /s

I expect that it is only a matter of time before Zero writes an executive order embargoing Bibles.

Christianity is growing in Russia, Cuba, and in China under oppressive circumstances at the same time the US is turning away from it. As an American, I’m not feeling very good about the likely outcome of this if the latter doesn’t change soon.

I give away Bibles too. I gave two to guests from Korea that were in English.
They are the perfect gift.

**IMB, which is an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention, announced that the shipment of three 40-foot containers filled with Bibles left from the ports of South Florida and is being distributed this week to various churches throughout Cuba. The announcement added that the Bibles will arrive in the capital of Havana on March 25.**
Too bad that they were not complete Bibles.
Question for this organization “Since they undoubtedly knew that Cuba was mostly Catholic, why didn’t they send Catholic Bibles with all the books in them?

The picture with the story portrays Catholicism.
So why not send Catholic Bibles?

What the Catholic Church added isn’t scripture.

It has been pronounced Scripture. You are mistaken. Where are you getting this false information?

LOL! Added?
It was all there to begin with. You may want to check the history of the Vulgate.
The first mass produced printed book was the Bible, a version based on the Latin edition from about 380 AD.. The Bible was printed at Mainz, Germany by Johannes Gutenberg from 1452 -1455.

Romans 3:2 Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. They didn't consider it scripture.

Um....That's Catholic. The "oracles of God" were entrusted to the Jews, not the Catholics. You might want to check the council of Jamnia.

I've been blessed to go to Cuba twice on mission trips. Evangelical churches, especially Baptist, are exploding all over the Island but especially the western half.

Amen!
We had dinner with a couple last night whose adult children were in Samoa on a project to translated the Bible into Samoan. ( I would have thought that had been accomplished.) The parents didn’t really see the point, but they were “okay” with it. The mom is a Deepak Chopra devotee.

There was one published in 1887, cf. here, but a more modern translation was published by the Catholics in 2010, cf. here. And if you want to learn samoan about it, you'll have to ask someone else :-)
