It may be more accurate to say that Protestants use a bible with books subtracted from it. Martin Luther removed several books from the OT canon. At no time did Catholics add any books. He also wanted to remove several books from the NT (like James and Revelation) but his followers at the time didn't support this revision, so he didn't end up taking them out. I like to point this out to Christians: your one source of inerrant truth is the way it is because of the politics of the past.
Also, where do you get that evangelicals "only have the new testament"? This is incorrect. I wouldn't think these are errors you'd make, Huggy. Am I misinterpreting your words here?
