Whenever the truth is so glaring that even the Roman Catholic cannot deny it, such as the truth of Acts 13:48, RC apologists unfailingly fall back on "it was a poor translation."
Guess what? The Roman Catholic Douay Rheims Bible says the exact same thing.
(48) And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed.
Let's see what Calvin says about the verse...
Guess what? The Roman Catholic Douay Rheims Bible is a translation of the Latin Vulgate using the incorrect translation from Greek into Latin of
tasso.
Guess what? John Calvin used the Vulgate.
Guess what else? The scholars who are critics of this mistranslation are not Roman Catholic, unless you think that
T.E. Page, Dean Alford, A.T. Robertson, and
Sir William Robertson Nicoll, editor of
The Expositor's Greek Testament are "RC."
There are always going to be men who disagree with God's ordination of all things, including men's salvation.
In this case, I'll agree with the Roman Catholic bible. You're free to differ.
Oh, maybe not.
