And so therefore let's build multi million dollar mansions to keep our papas nice and warm.

It's always cute when Catholics try to cite scripture to support their practices.
Benjamin Hughes
Every single Catholic doctrine is supported by scripture. Buy a Didache Bible, it quotes the relevant parts of the catechism right next to the scripture that supports that position or dogma
John Moore

whats wrong with the catholic approved douay rheims?
Dylan Barnes
Nothing, I prefer the RSV-2CE though. The Douay is good if you prefer the antiquated language. Personally I find it pretentious.

then why did you take away from the word of God?
Jack Diaz
Because the oldest manuscripts we have available omit those verses, which strongly suggests they were later interpolations by scribes who wanted to make certain theological points more strongly. Rather than "taking away" from the word of God, it's representing the scriptures as accurately as possible, in the form they were penned by the actual apostles themselves rather than versions that were edited centuries later.

Not even Christian scholars think the Comma Johanneum was actually in the original epistle so I dunno why you're upset it's a footnote in modern bibles. It's 100% certain John didn't write that. Don't you want to read what John wrote in it's most accurate form?
