This, then, was carried into effect with greater speed than it was spoken, the multitudes immediately gathering together wood and fagots out of the shops and baths; the Jews especially, according to custom, eagerly assisting them in it. And when the funeral pile was ready, Polycarp, laying aside all his garments, and loosing his girdle, sought also to take off his sandals,— a thing he was not accustomed to do, inasmuch as every one of the faithful was always eager who should first touch his skin. For, on account of his holy life, he was, even before his martyrdom, adorned with every kind of good. Immediately then they surrounded him with those substances which had been prepared for the funeral pile. But when they were about also to fix him with nails, he said, Leave me as I am; for He that gives me strength to endure the fire, will also enable me, without your securing me by nails, to remain without moving in the pile.
What does this mean?

He is referring to himself. Why do you thing protestant contradixt the early christians?

What's your problem with the NIV? If you don't want KJV because Olde Englishe then NIV is perfect, and also footnotes, every time a NT guy quotes scripture(which is every time these guys speak) there's a footnote to that quote. But anyway just use biblegateway and read it however you want, read different translations side by side if you want. We're not savages, this is the information age, dipshit.
Dylan Allen
Get an authorized king james its much easyer to read
Mason Brooks
It depends what you're reading for.
NIV is closest to the "original". KJV is known for being the most beautifully written. NRSV is what most Bible colleges use. Bart Ehrman recommends this one also.

King James is not that difficult to read after some reading. I can't make a post without shilling to the Christian Discord link is below.
you mean like selling indulgences when Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple in the Gospel? Or when they made false idols out of saints? Shit my bad these are things the Catholic Church did

I have a Douay–Rheims and Jerusalem Bible, both Roman Catholic translations. I refuse to read KJV.

It was translated by a team of people, as are all Bibles. It's considered to be closest to the original by nearly all Biblical critics.
Jack Price
The Roman Catholics at least managed to assimilate Christianity with European culture. Saints are like the heroes from sagas.
Andrew Russell
Go Catholic mate.
Lincoln Clark
The bible clearly states the 144000 are jews you are not a jew you have been lied to
Kayden Morris
Read the ESV. It is super easy to read and is an accurate word for word translation. But have a KJV and Interlinear to back up spots where the ESV changes things.
Jaxson Foster
Catho or ortho
Isaac Murphy
Orthodox. Catholics are the definition of heresy not to mention cuck Francis.
Luke Morales
Then why didn't the Catholics allow the gnostic gospels? Funny how the Catholics get to determine what books go in the Bible but nobody else does
Parker Kelly
Learn Latin and read the vulgate you faggot
Julian Clark
ESV
Or if you want to be based, Tyndale
Blake Diaz
I have an NRSV I got from the Jesuits in college. also used to have one just labeled "the Bible" I got in religious education classes when I was like 7. dunno where it is now.
Just watch this video. It will help. The ESV is the best for now but beware of certain things about it.
Noah Brown
>gnostic gospels Because they're fabricated and mixed with Neoplatonic writing.
Henry Barnes
Paid shills that bible is shit team of lesbians what do you mean by original lol you either have a bunch of books and letters or the catholic bible there is no original
Catholic actually more orthodox than orthodox until the modern catholic change make it unorthodox than orthodox.
Hudson Watson
>reading the vulgate >having all the early church fathers sound retarded because they're not quoting the vulgate, but instead they had the Vetus Latina

I am less interested in reading the bible (given that it will take me longer to comprehend what they are trying to say than I have time for) and just picking up this 1000 page history of Christianity, written by a mainstream believer.
Hitchens mentions that he read this quite in depth
The catholic bible is the only bible that contains the apocryphal texts
Dylan Brooks
what am I supposed to do about it, they gave me a free fucking ride. the theology teacher wasn't even a Jesuit, he was fucking Orthodox. only ever had one Jesuit professor and he taught ethics in the digital realm. so like copyright and shit.
Angel Hernandez
Personally I'd start with 1)Epic of Gilgamesh 2) Anything you can dig about Akkadians 3) Torah ( Adam Lillith then came Eve ) ( Abel Cain and Seth ) 4) You can cuck yourself with whatever bible you want then.
Joseph Diaz
KJV ONLY
Justin Barnes
Chapter 13 of what book?
There'a lot of context lost when looking at that quote. It was common held believe back then that Christ second rerun would happen when the Jews were converted to Christianity. After many years of doing his best to convert them he saw it was useless. He was quite old at that time and lost his cool when talking to some folks around him (as he would commonly talk to the people around him in the local pubs).

KJV is the only true English Bible translation. NIV, ESV etc is for lightweights and are corrupted with verses missing. They sound like garbage and the KJV sounds awesome, why would you read anything else.
Robert Bailey
Oh man you Catholics are so good at arguing. Did the pope authorize you to argue using schoolyard insults? Maybe if you could give actual reasons instead of insulting people the Catholic church wouldn't have needed a reformation. Go kiss the feet of you "Muslim brethren" as your pope puts it
Kevin Cook
It is called martyrdom of Polycarp dating to the mid second century
Maybe if you stopped being so full of shit you could comprehend how stupid you sound

kjv only or something from 1600 the new translations has become to corrupted , lets remove the name of the devil from the bible, this would be something what satan would do

Tyler Morales
The KJV is based on a manuscript called the Textus Receptus ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textus_Receptus ). It is well known to be a poor translation from Byzantine.
Compare it to a much earlier manuscript: >The Critical Text differs from the Textus Receptus text 5,337 times, according to one calculation. The Vatican manuscript omits 2,877 words in the Gospels; the Sinai manuscript 3,455 words in the Gospels.
James Adams
Protestantism contradicts the early christians
Logan Davis
King James. It's written in a style that makes you slow down, and think. Also The Book of Common Prayer, for choosing well, erm, prayers. eskimo.com/~lhowell/bcp1662/
We literally hold a yearly festival celebrating the failure of Catholicism.
Anthony Sanchez
I've had a NASB version for a while but now I want to go back to KJV now that I can understand the writing better.
Kevin Barnes
I have a pdf of Luther's 1545 bible. It includes apocrypha. Not printing the apocrypha is an English language tradition. If I dig around the basement of the church I'm likely to find some old German bibles that have the apocrypha from when everyone still spoke German..
Joseph Foster
saints are the shiet yo! martin luther, while a faggot german drunk cuck, is still cooler than these modern prot fags trying to imply he was some champion of jesus. he was a drunk catholic german sperg. he didn't bring anything new. germans are retards. so are nords. brits were influenced by jewish bankers. come back to rome, idiots. the world laughs at you.

niv users have fun with your satanic bible where both jesus and lucifer is the morning star
>I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
New International Version "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
