Thank you.

Catholic Bibles contain a few books in the Old Testament which are absent from most Protestant Bibles. Beyond that, Catholic Bibles are translated from the original languages by Catholics, Protestant Bibles are translated from the original languages by Protestants. Within both camps of translators, you will find devotees of "dynamic equivalence", "formal equivalence", and various balances of the two translational approaches.

Both Catholic Bibles and Protestant Bibles are translated, published, and distributed by folks who wish to spread the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ to all the ends of the Earth.

I wish people would not deliberately put themselves in positions where they almost certainly are going to be treated badly or where others must risk their lives to save them.

The most successful missionaries are indigenous people, but they need to be taught and they need Bibles.

Thank you.

Is the Mormon Bible different?

How about JW’s bible?

The Mormon bible is basically a fiction novel written by a man (Joseph Smith) with a vain imagination.

The JW bible is edited and changed in order to to comply their false gospel.

They were practicing Catholics and in that religion if you are killed in the defense of the Faith, you are a martyr, which means straight to Heaven (normal Catholics have the Purgatory stopover).

Those aren’t really Bibles...they were made up in modern times to accommodate the belief system of those cults. “The Book of Mormon” is one and I think the JW’s call their’s teh Bible, but no one other than them takes it seriously historically, intellectually, linguistically, etc.

Apologies to Mormons and JW’s, but this IS how the rest of the world sees it.

Jesus put himself in a position to be killed, also most of the apostles did the same thing, they were doing Gods work, preaching the gospel to all of the world as a wittness to all men, and when it is finished the end will come.

What a thoughtfully Christian post. You must be very proud.

Firstly, the final sanctification/purgatory is not a stop-over. Theologically it's not a place or a duration of time but the end of the process in which we are sanctified by the Grace of God, through the Holy Spirit, the Blood of the Lamb, thanks to the one-time sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He saved us and sanctifies us to enter into His presence

Secondly even martyrs needs the sanctification -- they are dramatic examples of the faith, but there are also simple folks who live their entire lives and die peacefully at 80 in their sleep who are saints.
