It's very easy to use Google and search for vintage Bibles and topics like "why were 14 books removed from the Bible?" You can also search the NYTimes archives, which has a lot of articles on religion from that time period (1860s-1890s). You can read them for free in a PDF format.(March 4, 2018 at 6:30 pm)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: You are wrong. The Protestants use a Bible with 14 fewer books. They are using a major alteration of the Bible. All Bibles were "Catholic" Bibles until a committee influenced by two English guys deleted the 14 books in the Apocrypha section in the 1880s. The "Protestant" Bible has only existed for about 134 years.
The Catholics have the real Bible. The Protestants use a fake Bible.
