List of books in the Christian Bible

Vs. the Roman Catholic Bible

Vs. the Greek Orthodox Bible

A conservative, bible believing perspective!

God's providence gave us the 27 book New Testament Canon, not the church. God, not men decided the canon. This providence does not mean that church leaders were inspired in their selecting the canon, only that God had his eye on the scriptures the whole time and brought about His will to form the Bible we see today!

List of books in the Christian Bible Vs. the Roman Catholic Bible Vs. the Greek Orthodox Bible

 

Introduction:

  1. Christians, Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox all have the same 27 books in the New Testament and the same 39 books in the Old Testament.
  2. The only difference is the apocrypha, a collection of uninspired writings written during the "silent centuries" (400 BC - 27 AD)
  3. Christians reject the Apocrypha as inspired and view all these books as secular uninspired history written by men without the aid of God. Click here for reasons why the apocrypha is uninspired.
  4. The New Testament never quotes from the any of the apocryphal books written between 400 - 200 BC. What is significant here is that NONE of the books within the "apocryphal collection" are every quoted. So the Catholic argument that "the apocryphal books cannot be rejected as uninspired on the basis that they are never quoted from in the New Testament because Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon are also never quoted in the New Testament, and we all accept them as inspired." The rebuttal to this Catholic argument is that "Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther" were always included in the "history collection" of Jewish books and "Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon" were always included in the "poetry collection". By quoting one book from the collection, it verifies the entire collection. None of the apocryphal books were ever quoted in the New Testament. Not even once! This proves the Catholic and Orthodox apologists wrong when they try to defend the apocrypha in the Bible.
