73 Books? Am I to understand that it is our bible, but with 7 extra books added?

I always thought repentance was doing the opposite of what one had been doing. An example Paul uses would be stealing. A show of repentance isn't just one who stops stealing, its one who goes further and gets a job, then gives to those in need.

How then is praying with a set of beads going to make up for sins, let alone repentance? Sounds like a bunch of religious rules to me.

Now, that's interesting. I hadn't really thought of that bit it would make sense.

Pretty much. Their Bible includes our 66 books plus 7 from the intertestamental period. If I understand it all correctly, basically Protestants say that the intertestamental books aren't truly inspired because they aren't considered sacred by the Jews nor were they written after Christ's life as the New Testament was.

That's in Collosians 4. Most of the time when Paul nots a "bad" behavior, he also lists the behavior to replace it with. Remember, Paul killed followers of Chris and then he repented... Do you see it?

Or doing the same thing with a different attitude.....such as giving, being a spouse, etc...

Why do Catholics have 7 more books in their Bible?
