Hi, The Ten Commandments, The Sermon on the Mount etc mentioned in the mail below is not only for Catholics but for all Christians. Bible is the foundation for any Christian denomination.
We as Catholics have a bible with 73 Books, but the other Christian denominations have only 66 books in their Bible, 7 are missing. Last time on my vacation, on one of the day, there was a reading from the book of Sirac, and I could not find it anywhere in the bible I had, it was king James version, and hence had to refer it on my sisters Bible a Catholic bible. As for Mario's Query, I am not sure of the cursing, but Mathew 5:34-37 says "But I tell you, do not swear at all: either by heaven for its God's throne, or by earth for it is the city of the great king. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your "Yes" be "Yes" and You "No" "No". Anything beyond this comes from the evil one. I wonder why the Six books are missing in the other bibles. Can someone explain?
