Luke 24:6 "He is not here but is risen; remember how he spake unto you when he was in Galilee". RSV Note "He is not here but is risen" is confined to the footnote. This omission reflects the belief of some members of the National Council of Churches, as epitomised by H.E. Fosdick who was against the resurrection (see page 148). Luke 24:51 "And it came to pass, while he blessed them he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven". RV Note "Some ancient authorities omit "and was carried up into heaven ". RSV "While he blessed them he parted from them". Again, we have the RSV building on the doubts introduced by Westcott and Hort in the Revised Version. Titus 2:13 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ". Douay "Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ". In this and following renditions of the text, nothing is said of Christ's expected literal return. RV and RSV "and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ". JB "while we are waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the Appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ". Alterations Favouring Roman Catholicism Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between they seed and her seed; it shall bruise they head, and thou shall bruise his heel". This text has ever been recognised by Christians as the first Biblical promise of the Messiah. Here our first parents were told that the "seed" would feel the enmity of the serpent (Satan) who would inflict a non-lethal wound. But in contrast, the "seed" (Christ) would inflict a mortal wound to Satan's head. The Mariolaters have corrupted this text by deflecting the credit for this victory away from Christ to Mary. Douay "she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel ". Matthew 3:2 "And saying, Repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand". Douay "Do penance for the kingdom of heaven is at hand". 12
Here, and in most other passages of Scripture where repentance is mentioned, the Douay Version advocates penance in an endeavour to support the dogma of "salvation by works" (See in Douay, Ezekiel 18:30; Matthew 4:17; Matthew 12:41; Mark 6:12; Luke 13:3, 5; Luke 16:30; Acts 2:38; Revelation 3:3). This is one of the corruptions that caused emerging Protestant England to look on the Rheims Douay Bible with revulsion. By the time Rome adopted the ecumenical mode - some three and a half centuries later (Vatican II Council), she discontinued such abominations, as witness the Knox and Jerusalem Bibles. Rome will yield only if she perceives a greater gain. I Corinthians 11:29 "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body". RV "For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body ". RSV "For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself". JB "a person who eats and drinks without recognising the Body is eating and drinking his own condemnation ". NIV "For anyone who eats and drinks without recognising the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself". In all these versions here cited, not one uses the expression: "unworthily ". The inclusion of this word in the KJV (and Douay) indicates that there could be any number of causes other than "not discerning the Lord's body". In fact, various causes could impair spiritual discernment of the emblem. The countless number of people burned at the Roman stakes accentuates the importance which Rome attaches to the dogma of "Transubstantiation". The recognition of the wafer as the literal body of Christ is the only concern shown in these renditions. Note also the substitution of 'judgment" for "damnation ". James 5:16 "Confess you faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed". Douay "Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved". RV "Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be saved". JB "So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, and this will cure you ". NIV "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed". Faults and sins are not the same. In the KJV, verse 15, "sins" is used correctly in the context of God forgiving sins. But in verse 16, 'faults" is used in connection with human relationships. The Douay blatantly tries to justify the priestly confessional by introducing "salvation" into verse 16. Notice that the interconfessional Jerusalem Bible agrees with the modern versions by omitting "salvation". 13
