Of course you may be missing a few books since every King James Version had several more books in the original

Oh, I see.. the bible that we have is not reliable and only the catholics have the super secret version with all this other stuff in it that supports their idolatrous practices.

Gnosticism pure and simple

"Oh, I see.. the bible that we have is not reliable and only the catholics have the super secret version with all this other stuff in it that supports their idolatrous practices. "

What? Super secret? Drop in to your local Barnes&Noble and pick up a Catholic version of the Bible. It's no secret. Please cut out this nonsensical stuff.

If you think something as well know as the Catholic Bible is a case of "super secret" Gnosticism, then there is no limit to what is super secret to your limited abilities.

I am comfortable with everyone seeing what is Gnostic in your limited understanding. You know some people can not add 2+2 to get 4, but that does not mean those who can are Gnostic. And some people can read books that have been printed in English longer than the KJV Bible which, by the way had those books as well. Does that make old KJV Bibles Gnostic as well?

By you line of logic you must think that very thing.

You are just tossing out charges that you don't even understand in the hopes they stick.

[Petronski]

Luther deleted whole books from the Bible.

Look, I found a super secret Catholic bible right here on the internet.

It even puts a little asterisk by the double-secret books that non-Catholics are NOT supposed to see!

[ArrogantBustard]

the bible that we have is not reliable

Not unreliable ... merely abridged, for ideological purposes. Wonder what's in the complete Bible that your masters don't want you to see?

Super secret? Hardly ... If you want to be taken seriously, you need to restrict your posts to telling the truth.

[PalestrinaGal0317]

Gnosticism is the belief that knowledge will save you. In reality, you will find that many (if not most) Protestant sects are Gnostic. They believe that one must actually accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior to be saved. To do this, one must know of Christ's existence. The classic example of the good pagan (a person who, through no fault of his own, has had no opportunity to know anything about Christ but who has striven to lead a good life) illustrates this: many Protestants would say that this man would go to Hell because he didn't know about Christ, while Catholics would say that a person who strives to do good is (insofar as that goodness) a member of the Church because all good things are of Christ and that therefore it is possible for this person to be with Christ after death.
