Why the Apostles' Bible Isn't the Protestant One https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1TTmvSEdia/ 📖 The apostles never read the Protestant Bible. They could not have. The Old Testament that Jesus quoted, that Saint Paul preached from, that the entire early Church carried across the Roman Empire, contained books that Protestants removed fifteen hundred years after Christ. So whose Bible is actually the original one, and why does almost no one in the West tell this story honestly? ✝️ 📜 When the apostles spread the Gospel, they did not travel with Hebrew scrolls. They used the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament that had been in use among Jews and Gentiles since roughly two hundred years before Christ. And the Septuagint contained all seven of the so-called extra books, including Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and First and Second Maccabees. This is not a Catholic opinion, it is plain historical fact recognized by scholars across every tradition. 🔥 ✨ Roughly two-thirds of every Old Testament quotation in the New Testament comes directly from the Septuagint. Paul quotes from it constantly. The writer of Hebrews quotes from it. Jesus himself quotes from it. The Letter to the Hebrews even references the martyrdom story from Second Maccabees, a book Protestants discarded. And the Book of Wisdom describes the suffering Messiah a hundred years before Christ was born, prophesying the very Passion that Jesus would later endure. 🙏 ⚡ This is the part that should stop every honest reader in their tracks. If the apostles, the writers of the New Testament, and Jesus himself used an Old Testament that included these books, then the sixty-six book canon cannot possibly be the original Bible. It is a later edit. The Catholic Bible is the apostles' Bible, preserved unbroken from the first century to today. History settled this question long before the Reformation ever began. 💭 👉 If this opened your eyes, hit that like button, share this with someone who needs to see it, and follow for more Catholic truth grounded in Scripture, history, and the unbroken witness of the early Church.
