To: redleghunter; Mr Rogers
What happened when David committed murder and adultery? What did God do to reach David? He convicted David through Nathan the prophet.

And David confessed his sin to Nathan the prophet ... and Nathan the prophet told David his sin was forgiven ... sounds quite Catholic ...

I have to ask again. Is not the NABRE the official and approved English language version Bible for the Catholic church? If yes then you should not be pointing fingers at Mr Rogers. The NABRE has the same wording of Romans 8 as the NASB.

Already answered; I have no problem with you adopting the same Bible as the Catholic Church; I would you would adopt all the same faith, liturgy and customs as Catholics.

My point is that the Protestant Reformation started out with a different set of scriptures and posited a new doctrine of Sola Scriptura based on them. Your testimony demostrates to me that the so-called Reformation did not have the same scriptures that the Protestants and their devolved communities use today (sans some of the Independent Fundamental Baptists and perhaps a few others). Since they rebelled and divorced themselves from Holy Tradition, which does not rely and any particular set of Greek manuscripts or translations for truth, and asserted they only relied on the Word of God, their claim to legitimacy is invalid.

Please stop the mind reading. I gave no indication I use the NABRE. I was showing the NASB and NABRE used the same translation for Romans 8:1.

I'll say it again. KJV or NASB or ESV matters not on clearly understanding Justification by Faith. I just looked at a Children's Bible and it's clear. You seem to be hung up with:

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 KJV http://bible.com/1/rom.8.1.KJV

As was previously stated, and shown, using both the KJV, NASB and NABRE does not change the meaning of the passage. There is nothing to evoke a change of doctrine. Unless you don't think the Apostles taught justification by faith?
