Agree. Do NOT allow yourself to be drawn into a "proof-texting" contest. Nobody ever wins, even when the contest is between two Protestants. But should you succeed in getting a Protestant to listen honestly, you will lose him if he discovers you don't "know your Bible." Your average "devout" Protestant believes Catholics don't read the Bible or study it because the Church forbids it. They are told that Catholics blindly obey their priests, who don't permit Bible study lest they discover the "truth" that the Church has kept secret in order to extort money and keep the people in fearful submission. Ignorance of the Scripture "proves" to Protestants their errors concerning Catholicism are in fact, correct.

I agree. Even though all their "bibles" are heretical and corrupt translations, you can still refute them with the King James.

The irony!

I think it depends on which Protestant religion they belong to.

When I explain the Catholic religion to Protestants I quote scripture. You can use their bible to explain the truth of the Catholic Faith.

Quote from: vwinnie

The New Testament is based on the Septuagint version of the Old Testament. Luther preferred the Masoretic version because it doesn't include Maccabees with the reference to praying for the dead. The King James version is Masoretic. The same Authority that gave us the New Testament, endorsed the Septuagint.

Luther also tried to exclude the Epistle of James.
