You guys are reading things into what I said... things I didn't say at all.
I said in the very beginning that translations were not inspired. And, I never said the Catholics accepted the Protestant translations.
I said that all of the books (you know, Genesis, ... Paslms, ... Revelation) that are in the Protestant Bible are accepted into the canon of the Catholic Bible. I did NOT say they were translated the same.
I also never said the Protestant translated Bible was inspired or inerrant and the others were not. I merely said the Protestant's do not accept some of the books in the Catholic bible into their accepted canon.
I was stating history of the bible as we know it today, not my beliefs. The history of the canon and when and how the split happened between what we now know as the Catholic and Protestant bible is just that... history. Relating that history is belief-neutral. It is merely fact.
You people that enjoy being skeptics are the ones with a belief system to defend in this topic of the canon, since your belief system seems to focus on differences. For me, it is merely interesting history.
