I have several Bibles. I like some Protestant Bibles like the ESV as well, even though they are incomplete. Catholic Bibles contaon all 46 Books of the OT, while Protestant Bible omite 7 Books. This was decided by yout Protestant Fathers.

According to Luke 1:26, Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit in Elizabeth’s SIXTH month of pregnancy. Going by the Gregorian Calendar – that would put us at right around March – six months from Yom Kippur and Rosh Hoshana. 9 months from that is December. Besides, my whole purpose for arguing...

Yes, I thought by my post you would have seen that I already know that . . . You mean, like the tens of thousands of other disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant factions that have read it for "themselves" abd ALL teach dufferent and competing doctrines? No thatks - I'll stick with...
