Open Question: New American Bible? Catholics: why does it leave out the last amen and not mention Christ in Revelation 22:21?

7 January 2009, 5:05 am

Revelation 22:21 (KJV Holy Bible: neither RCC nor Protestant) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:21 (New American Bible: Roman Catholic Bible) The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Notes: - "the Lord" is not the same as "our Lord" - the only foundation laid is Jesus Christ - eternal salvation is through Jesus-->Christ, in Christ - reconciling the world is done in Christ (not in Jesus) - Jesus brought division and not peace: Lk 12:51 - Christ brought peace by abolition of law: Eph 2:15 - Christ is the end of the law, not the mend of the law - JC admonition is endure unto the end (of law) to be saved - the saved and destroyed after in Jude 1:5 is not saved only - "the grace of the Lord Jesus" is not "the grace of our Lord JC" - the grace Noah found in eyes of the LORD did not save all; But God our Saviour will have all men JC saved and truthed - there is no respect of persons with God, only against God - the "you all" in the KJV Bible end written begins with "you" - without the last amen to the end (of law) written, all perish - if Son of man (Jesus) comes again, it's to destroy them all: Lk17 - without a last amen to the end (of law), it becomes a vengeful bible - God our Father in heaven: His Grace: is "merciful", not vengeful - The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is also merciful, not vengeful - last "Amen" to that makes other amens to vengeance null & void Conclusion (of comparison): Perhaps the New American Bible, read in Catholic mass daily around the world, is a perversion rather than a grace us version of the Bible.
