Name the 7 books of the Bible that are missing in Protestant bibles.

Protestant Bibles are missing 7 books of the Bible. Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism, decided to omit them, because the Jews omit them.  Catholics call these 7 books the "Deuterocanonical Books"; Protestants call them the "Apocrypha."  They are Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, and 1 and 2 Machabees (plus parts of Esther and Daniel ).

In what languages were the Bible , Old Testament and New Testament  originally written?


The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek.  The Hebrew text of the Old Testament was translated into Greek, before the time of Christ by 70 translators.

I never knew the symbolism of this. I found it very touching and interesting. Little Angel

In the Offertory, the priest first pours wine into the chalice. Then he pours a single drop of water into the chalice to be mixed with that wine. The wine and water become a single element, which is then transformed at the Consecration into the Blood of Our Lord.   What does this drop of water symbolize?

That drop of water symbolizes our human sacrifices, while the wine symbolizes the human-divine sacrifice of Christ. The small part is the water, that is, a liquid without value, but that drop of water is also transformed into the Blood of Our Lord. It is a beautiful symbol showing that our sacrifices are accepted by Our Lord to spread the fruits of His Redemption.

The flow of both blood and water from Christ's side at the Crucifixion.

How about the symbolism of us (creatures) being incorporated into His Body?
