66 in total, 39 in the old, and 27 in the new. those that study say there are no real issues, though non-believers often tout there are. i am in error, i thought it was the woman at the well. but that is not the point. the point is this: Jesus did not just wink and smile and say go on your way, He said: Go and sin no more. I am Protestant- so have no knowledge of the Catholic beliefs about the books included in their version. I am not concerned with exactly when the books were written- but believe the Bible to be, as stated, wholly inspired and without error. but then you say you studied alot, but i don't know what ccd is.
