You are right... Better stick to the Douay-Rheims. Incidentally, the NIV is not approved for use in any Catholic liturgies.

Wow! I posted that thing awhile ago. Now I don't know if you are just looking for a debate or what, but I'll respond with this....

From my understanding the KJV is translated directly from Greek transcripts.

The Douay Rheims is translated from the Latin Vulgate, which is translated from other latin transcripts which apparently come from what are called the 'Alexandrian' or Egyptian texts. These 'Alexandrian' texts do not match up with the 'Greek' texts in alot of places.

It's been awhile since I waded through all of this stuff, so I really don't think I do it again tonight, but If the Douay Rheims says

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Rom 10:13)

or

" And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:14-16) then I would say it has some value.

Sincerely
