[@alanisrivera6400]

I just got the Great Adventure Bible in spanish for christmas!!

[@CatholicZola]

I have the Great Adventure study Bible and I love it. It has been so helpful to orient me into the chronological time of all the books of the Bible. I'm subscribed to Fr Mike's Bible in A Year podcast and I can't wait to get started.

[@biggs1303]

How do I get to the podcast? Is there a podcast app that I need to download?

@Danny Thank you - got it. Excited to start this series!

I use Spotify!:)

[@alexisabello7558]

@@helenmccann9084 I have done the Great Adventure with a normal Bible, and it was fine. You can also find Bible tabs that you can place in any Bible to help you at their website. But, if you're in need of a Bible it is a good one to use.

I got the Didache RSV2CE Bible recently, love it. I have the Douay-Rheims too.

You mention names of authors and books for people to grasp quickly, but don't slow down or show the text of titles on the screen or even show the text book with the cover pointing off to the side impossible to view to assist the reader in finding the book later. Pretty annoying.

[@katybraaten5775]

I am so looking forward to Fr. Mike's Bible study, but the saddest part for me, and likely many of us, is the inability for afford the Bible he is using - like these many resources shown on this podcast. It's sad that their information is only available to people who have the ability to pay

[@ZackKcaz]

The Bible has been translated & revised numerous times. I can't believe a God inspired the bible if He didn't even preserve it

[@trishlozano8335]

Katy, go to any Catholic Church and tell them your situation and they will give you a bible. All churches have bibles for free. Blessings blessings

[@ZackKcaz]

@Charles The bible was compiled by men who picked & chose among the manuscripts available to them (probably several hundred) & selected the ones that they thought should be included in the bible. & that agreement was hardly unanimous. Looking to the OT even the major religions can’t agree on how many books should be included. The Jews have 24 books, the Protestants 39, the Catholics 46, & the Eastern Orthodox have 51. Which one is correct? But it’s important to recognize that you don’t have the original texts. You don’t even have copies of the originals. What you have are copies of copies of copies of copies of …. you get the idea. & every time a copy was made there was an opportunity for copyist errors to creep in - especially since in many cases the copyist didn’t speak the language they were copying. (Originally in Hebrew with Aramiac in some parts to Latin to Greek then to English & others language). Worse yet it provided the copyist with an opportunity to amend the text to agree with their own personal orthodoxy. & then come to translation errors. There are plenty.

[@ZackKcaz]

@@trishlozano8335 the Bible references cited might not be exactly as the Bible you are using. There are MANY Bibles on the market that are used by different Christian sects & all of these sects say that their book, though different, is the word of God. Such Bibles are: The Revised Standard Version 1952 & 1971, New American Standard Bible, the Living Bible, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures used by Jehovah Witnesses, NIV, RCV & the KJV. I have not found in any of these Bibles where the "New Testament" calls itself the "New Testament," & nowhere does the "Old Testament" call itself the "Old? Testament." Also, the word "Bible" is unknown within the pages of the Bible. In addition to the many different Christian sects & Bibles, i have learned that there are also different men, not Prophets, who founded these sects & are using various interpretations of the Bible and/or man-made doctrines as their creed. I would like to share with you some thoughts that you may not have read or known about the Bible being the word of God. On September 8 1957, the Jehovah's witnesses in their "Awake" magazine carried this startling headline - 50000 Errors in the Bible. If you ask a Jehovah's witness about this headline, it may be said that today most of those errors have been eliminated. How many have been eliminated, 5000? Even if 50 remain, would one attribute those errors to God?

[@trishlozano8335]

@@ZackKcaz I appreciate your response, however, since the Bible was organized by the Catholic Church, I focus more on the Catholic bibles. I’ve researched many religions and their interpretations, attended many Bible studies with deacons who have extensive knowledge and continue their knowledge. Therefore, I, personally, rely on my Catholic faith and religion to educate me on scripture, which I’ve experienced have the same interpretations. Again, thank you.

I like reading the Bible on line and have for years. It is easier on my eyes in many ways and free; I just bought the Great Adventure Bible. IT arrives Friday. It cost $118 Canadian all-in. I bought the Catholic Answer Bible 12 or 13 years ago and liked it as well.

So disappointed that I can’t get the New Adventure Bible in Canada.

[@True1-10]

Yes it is available. I bought one online from Branches, a Catholic bookstore in London, Ontario. There are other bookstores online but it may take awhile to arrive since this Bible is so popular. Hope you find a copy without Amazon which is a really unethical company. God Bless 🙏✝️👼

[@jacobreeves3110]

I’m just sad for this guy. He gave up women to become a friar. He has no idea the joy he isn’t experiencing. I can tell he’d be a great husband and father. Nowhere in the Bible is celibacy a thing.

[@jacobreeves3110]

@Charles nowhere is it a requirement. Catholics priests were allowed to marry until about 1000 AD. And now look what it’s done. Rampant sexual deviancy and depression. It’s not right. They need to fix it ASAP. So sad.

[@jacobreeves3110]

@Charles Buddy we can agree to disagree. What I should’ve said is celibacy isn’t a requirement in the Bible. So I can admit that. But let’s be real, the fact that these Godly men sexually abuse children and then cover it up is pretty sad. I feel bad for the priests because they don’t get to enjoy the fruits of marriage and children. It attracts some pretty sick people.

[@jacobreeves3110]

@Charles I’ve studied Catholic Church history, the reason they forced celibacy on their priests is pretty interesting. You should read it. The Catholics have become the Pharisees. The very thing Jesus was against. I’m not saying Catholics aren’t true Christians. People like you and me are normal Christians. But what they’ve become is tragic.

[@jacobreeves3110]

@Charles you’re right. It’s a choice. But many predators join the church because of easy access to children. It’s a breeding ground for sexual deviancy. And the cover ups are petty sickening. I’m not hating Catholic supporters. I’m more against the pagan practices and influences that now drive the Catholic Church. This isn’t a attack on you. I just feel if they were allowed to have families it would do a lot of good.
