Is the "New International Teen Study Bible" published by Zondervan duo-leather bond a chatholic bible?

I recieved this bible around Christmas time from my mother as a gift. I love this study bible but I really didn't pay attention to see if it was a chatholic bible. Is it? (plz no rude comments)

Is the "New International Teen Study Bible" published by Zondervan duo-leather bond a chatholic bible?
Pastor Billy says: not to fault your mother but........ the publisher is a known publisher of Protestant literature which contradicts Catholic teaching. I would buy another study bible if you can that you have no doubts about and/or make sure the person using this translation is firmly rooted in how a Catholic is to interpret chapter and verse.





I would check out the local parish for advise sometimes they have Catholic literature and bibles available or look for a Catholic bookstore or try EWTN catalog online.





A good study bible to try is the Navarre bible which is Catholic. It has both latin and english text as well as commentary in 3 columns.
Reply:I'm a chataholic (addicted to chatting) but I didn't realize there was a Bible for it.
Reply:Look the Bible is the Bible,they all contain the truth of God,this worry over wether a Bible is Catholic or Protestant is another of the things that Atheists love to hear,and gives them an excuse to ridicule the Word of God,Catholics read your Catholic Bible and you Protestants read yours,the same Word(Jesus) is there within.
Reply:Hi Fair,





The NIV Teen Study Bible is a very accurate Bible. It awesome that you love the Word of God. The facts you state are the key. You have a heart for God, Fair.





The Bible is the Bible. It doesn't matter what Christian denomination you attend on Sundays, Catholic, Presbyterian, non-denominational.





I can tell you that the "old-style catholic bible" has a few extra books in it that are clearly not old enough to be part of the bible. In order to be the Word of God, the books in new testament have to be written by one of the apostles that saw and walked with Jesus.





Beside the extra books, which can be overlooked, there is no difference in an old-time "catholic bible" and a bible today. The words are not changed, maybe 'thee' is now 'you' (that is true in any older and newer bible compared), but you can see that this difference wouldn't change the meaning.





Keep reading your bible. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will bless you as you seek Him and not the 'approval of man'





Love,


A Big Sister in Christ
Reply:No....





It is an excellent bible.....





Closest one to the original that I know of





But in order for it to be a 'catholic' bible, I think it needs to have the heretical apocrapha inserted into it....the books that were deemed 'not God-breathed'
Reply:REALLY Primoa - there is something VERY wrong with you.





Luther, your hero, removed those 7 books in the 1500's - they were there for hundreds of years. And to top it off, it's hilarious that you are reading the other 66 books of the CATHOLIC Bible!





Duh...











Nikki, if that was true, then you'd have to throw out all Paul's books, since he neither saw nor walked with Jesus..
Reply:Check the Old Testament and see if it has the Book of Wisdom. You will only find Wisdom in a Catholic Bible.





With any book on religion, check the very front of the book and look for the Nihil Obstat and the Impirmatur.





Nihil Obstat ensures the book does not contain anything that is contrary to Catholic doctrine





The Impirmatur is issued by the bishop saying it is permissible to print.
Reply:No, I have the same Bible and I asked my Catholic friend about that.
Reply:No, it's not. A reputable Catholic equivalent would be the International Student Bible for Catholics. It's the New American Bible translation.
Reply:If you like it, why does it matter?
