Ecclesiastics 21:10?

"Geesh All I asked her more then once was what bible she was using. Believe it or not it can make a difference."

Honestly, she probably has no idea what she was using. Sadly, many people do not know much about the Bible they so often quote.

It is possible she somehow has a Douay Rheims Bible, I know they publish them. What I do not know is how traditional the "traditional Douay Rheims Bible" is... anyone know if it has the traditional apocrypha book names, or the changed ones that other Catholic Bibles currently have? Anyway, if she did have one, I think it's funny!

Gotcha^^^

Does the Catholic Bible not contain the Apocrypha anymore?

Yes, but that version, the one that words it the way she "borrowed" isn't in use anymore aside from a research tool. It's not even called Ecclesiasticus anymore.

Though I guess it could be possible that she has a copy of that Bible... I mean, if I smoke enough crack I'll believe that she has a book that's nearly 500 yrs old, and she was taking her verses from there....

That's not a current Catholic bible, anyway. It's about 400 years out of date.

Does the Catholic Bible not contain the Apocrypha anymore? If so, it's news to me. I did the string of comments you guys are referencing, and I would agree that they are just C&Ping. I haven't actually read the comments because they struck me that way.

Now that you mention it.... Ecclesiasticus is an Apocrypha Book. There is a 21:10, and it is as she quoted. I don't have Douay Rheims Bible (mine's the New American Bible), so I'm not sure exactly where she gets this stuff except for online. It's funny to me that she quotes a Catholic Bible though....

Could it be Ecclesiasticus 21:10, from the Douay-Rheims Bible??

That's not a current Catholic bible, anyway. It's about 400 years out of date. Based on the exact verse copied and pasted, I have a pretty good idea where it came from online, but I suspect, as does daps and a few others, that she has no clue where it came from, or that it's apocryphal. It came up because of the endless spamming of copied text, and the question is if she even actually read it. The site where it came from, which I'd link, except it sets off all the virus alarms, is hardly amenable to anything non-evangelical, so I don't think the place she "borrowed" it from is even aware of the source.
