This is the pipe organ at the historic Saint James Roman Catholic Church in Louisville, KY being played at the end of a wedding on August 1st ...

i have never read a bible in my entire life.. i have no idea how to navigate one much less the difference in translations. for history class we are to read the Gospel of matthew-first testament- and my bible should be N.I.V or the american standard revised or the st james translation.
my grandparents have 3 bibles that all have the Gospel of matthew but none are the NIV etc translation
or if they are i don't know where to look on them

is the Gospel of matthew different in each translation? can i still read the catholic bible (which is one of the three bibles) and get away with knowing the general idea of the story

There is a site that does parallel translations online, check it out, it's at http://bible.cc/ click "Parallel" and click the drop down in the top left corner and select Matthew... you can then browse through the book at your leisure and see the difference between about 15 different versions of the bible.

To answer your question, its mostly differences in how they were translated or if they attempted to move them into modern language, but in some cases it CAN make a huge difference.

Do you also believe that the Orthodox Church of Alexandria was not founded by Saint Mark?
Do you believe that the Russian Orthodox Church was not founded by St. Andrew?
Do you believe that the Apostolic Orthodox Armenian Church was not founded by St. Bartholomew and St. Jude Thaddeus?
Do you believe that the Orthodox Syrian Church of India was not founded by St. Thomas?
Do you believe that the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem was not founded by St. James the Just?
Have you even heard about these Churches at all?

Jesus is the chief cornerstone. ~Ephesians 2:20~

I strongly believe in Peter's words in Acts 2:38 when he commanded baptism in the name of Jesus.

Christ gave the power to teach, to sanctify, and to rule the members of His Church to the Apostles, the first bishops of the Church.

St. Peter was the first Head. After a miraculous escape from prison in Jerusalem, he founded his See in Antioch; here the followers of Christ were first called Christians. Peter made frequent missionary journeys through Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Asia Minor, and probably even Greece. He finally fixed his See at Rome.

St. Peter presided at the Council of the Apostles in Jerusalem in the year 50 A. D. At the same time that St. Paul was beheaded, St. Peter was crucified head downwards, on Vatican Hill, Rome, 67 A. D.

St. John, the Beloved Disciple, lived at Ephesus and governed the Church in Asia Minor.

In the time of Trajan he was thrown into a caldron of boiling oil, but was miraculously preserved. Later he was banished to Patmos, where he had the revelations which we call the Apocalypse. He died at the age of about 100 years, the last of the Apostles, and the only one who did not die a martyr's death. He left his Gospel and Epistles.

St. James the Greater, St. John's brother, labored in Judea, and according to tradition, travelled as far as Spain.

He was the first of the Apostles to be martyred being beheaded in Jerusalem in the year 44, by Herod Agrippa.

St. Matthew preached among the Ethiopians, Persians, and Parthians, and was martyred in Parthia. He wrote the first of the four Gospels.

St. James the Less was Bishop of Jerusalem. He was cast down from the pinnacle of the Temple in 63 A. D. He left one Epistle.

St. Andrew, St. Peter's brother, preached along the lower Danube, and was crucified in Greece.

St. Thomas preached in Persia, Medea, and went as far as India. He was martyred in India, pierced with a lance at the command of the king.

St. Philip preached in Phrygia and Scythia, and was crucified at Hieropolis.

St. Bartholomew preached in India, Arabia,.and Assyria. He was flayed and crucified in Armenia.

St. Simon preached in North Africa, and was martyred in Persia.

St. Jude preached in Syria, and was martyred in Persia. He wrote the "Catholic Epistle".

St. Matthias, chosen to take the place of Judas, preached in Ethiopia, and was martyred in Sebastopolis.

St. Paul was converted miraculously (Acts 9) in the year 34. He of all the Apostles labored the most abundantly. He wrote many Epistles.

He is called the Apostle of the Gentiles, because he carried the Gospel to the pagan world. He travelled extensively and successively to Seleucia, Cyprus, Asia Minor, Phrygia, Galatia, Macedonia, Thessalonica, Athens, Corinth, Miletus, and finally Rome. From Rome he went to Spain and the East, then returned to Rome, where he was martyred in 67 A. D.

Christ intended that this power should be exercised also by their successors, the bishops of the Church.

The Apostles first preached in Judea on the very first Christian Pentecost. Then they dispersed throughout the different countries of the then known world. Everywhere they preached, baptized, and ruled the Christian communities. They were the first bishops of the Church.

"As the Father has sent me, I also send you" (John 20:21).

The Apostles chose men to assist them, imparting to them greater or less powers. Before leaving a place, they chose a successor with full powers (Acts 14:22).

Those who received only a small part of the powers of the Apostles were called deacons. Those given greater power were the priests. Those appointed successors to rule in the place of the Apostles were the bishops.

Christ had given the Apostles full powers to choose successors, when He gave them the powers His Father had given Him (John 20:21)

It was His wish that the Apostles should have successors to continue the Church, which He said would last till the end of the world (Matt. 28:20). Without successors to the Apostles, the Church would have no rulers, and being unorganized would never have lasted.

If they admitted that, then they woould have to conclude that Jesus started the catholic Church and would have to become Catholic

Recently, a Catholic church in St. James was the sight of an organized (and church-approved) late-ngiht indie rock concert featuring the talents of Real Estate, Beach Fossil, The Beets, and Total Slacker. The event has generated much controversy due to the fact that the concert was held inside the congregation area, with bands set up on the altar. People also brought in alcohol and marijuana.

Being an atheist, I don't really care about this "desecration" - however I do think that its completely absurd that someone would allow this. I don't think its a matter of religious belief, rather its a matter of respect for other people's cultures and ethics.

I'm interested to see what others think though.

Also an article from a Catholic standpoint

I'm with you on this one. I am a Christian, not a Catholic though, and I'm not worried about the "desecration" issue either (though I could see why Catholics especially would be since their perspective makes a church a "holy place"). However, desecration is also at the heart of the cultural and ethical issues you referenced...and I agree it is a ridiculous show of disrespect.

To me, a Native American burial ground isn't a "holy place" so it has no impact on me personally when someone desecrates it...HOWEVER, what does have an impact on me is that someone who fails to respect the culture and values of Native Americans is also likely to disrespect something that is "holy" to me. We all have something we think of as "sacred"...even an atheist such as yourself has something that you consider an important part of yourself or your heritage that, should someone else disrespect it, you would view it the same way most Catholics would view their churches...you might not use the term "desecration", but the issue would be the same...they violated something that you view as inviolable.
