The Church named these books to begin with, so she, — not your lying proddie pastor — is at liberty to rename them. Next time you have a difficulty because you and your conversation partner don’t seem to be referring to the same book of Kings, or the same psalm, or the same verse number in some gospel chapters, don’t clown around and ask for a clairification, just like Pet did.
Please read Psalms beginning with Psalm 10 in Douay-Rheims and other "Official" Catholic Bibles. Are they the same? Woult it be fair to say the Church is lying? I think not nor do I think you have good reason to say "lying proddie pastor".
First, the RCC didn't name any of the Books of the Bible, espically the Old Testament.
Kings is what is in the Masoratic text.
Next time you have a difficulty because you and your conversation partner don’t seem to be referring to the same book of Kings, or the same psalm, or the same verse number in some gospel chapters, don’t clown around and ask for a clairification, just like Pet did.
Second, my comment on 1Sam.18 was not even addressed to 'Pet' it was addressed to someone else.
He stepped in started mentioning nonsense about 'rock throwing' and I had to ask him what he was talking about.
So, he even had the wrong chapter, even if he was thinking the Book was called 1st Kings and not 1st Samuel.
So, once again, you have shown an absymal lack of knowledge both regarding the Bible, and the facts of what actually happened.
The Douay-Rheims has 1st and 2nd Kings with 1st and 2nd Samuel next to them in parenthesis.
And the Roman Catholic NAB just has 1st and 2nd Samuel.
