As you see in the article, people from differing religions discussed the origin of the Bible in a civil manner. I believe this can be an Ecumenical thread, and that we could, likewise discuss this topic in a civil and ecumenical manner.
Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Discussion Ping List.
Today the postman brought my brand new leather-bound Douay-Rheims-Challoner Bible. I could not be more thrilled!
Thank God for founding the Catholic Church and guiding it these 1970+ years!
Great news for you today! Wow! Leather bound.
Sunday I will have it blessed after a celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite of the Mass.
No time to read...WHO put the Bible together??
That’d be the Catholic Church. :O)
LOL!! Yes, of course it was the Catholic Church....just thought they might say WHAT INDIVIDUALSs did it.
Bonded leather is more than good enough for these peasant hands.
come back to the thread — the part about the process has your answer.

**An example of this would be the Roman Catholic canon, which contains seven more Old Testament books than the Protestant canon. The books of Tobit, Judith, First and Second Maccabbees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, as well as small portions of Esther and Daniel, are found in the Catholic Old Testament. **
Repeating this point.
It looks like a Catholic thread to me, considering the (interesting) conversation is between a well-informed Catholic and four completely clueless Protestants...not exactly a balanced discussion.

Baronius Press? I got the compact one. Tiny print, but a beautiful print job nonetheless. The binding wasn’t so hot, however, and was showing some serious wear problems after just a year!
I am eagerly awaiting my Orthodox Study Bible right now. Until Ignatius finally gets their study Bible done, I’ll be using that enough.

Maybe not well balanced, but I’ve been in many similar discussions with Protestants. And we didn’t have pizza either!
No, I bought the Loreto. Anyone genuinely curious about this very affordable Catholic Bible can FR-mail me for the ISBN number and sources.
Congratulations on your new Bible. One of the things I love about the Bible (besides the obvious) is that the Bible blesses you just for having it.
Revelation 22 “Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book”
I got a Bible in every room.
You gotta have pizza.
Thank you for this post.
