Jonathan disobeyed his father’s command to fast when he ate the honey.

While Johnathan did eat honey when King Saul ordered a fast, If I remember the story correctly, Johnathan was ignorant of the King’s command when he ate the honey. It is hard to hold a command that one has never received against someone.

 

[atpollard]

Peter and the disciples harvested grain and ate it when they were hungry … prompting Jesus to proclaim that He was Lord of the Sabbath.

Jesus ordered a man healed to carry his bed on the sabbath … another tricky one because it did not violate the letter of the Law but the Rabbinical Traditions defining “work” on the Sabbath. However it WAS deliberate and an attack on the rules of the rulers.

19But Mattathias answered in a loud voice: “Although all the Gentiles in the king’s realm obey him, so that they forsake the religion of their ancestors and consent to the king’s orders,20yet I and my sons and my kindred will keep to the covenant of our ancestors.21Heaven forbid that we should forsake the law and the commandments.22We will not obey the words of the king by departing from our religion in the slightest degree.”

Tobit is not an example of a Bible character.

I was raised Catholic, so I have Tobit in both of my Bibles. Tobit was one of the captives taken by Shalmanezzer king of Assyria (2 Kings 18:9-12). So it still ties in to Biblical events.

That’s right. Jonathan didn’t know. I forgot about that.

None of that matters. Tobit was not a Bible character.

'Both of my Bibles'? There is only one Bible. The 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament.

Tying in to Biblical events doesn't make a book inspired.

1 Maccabbes is an aprocyphal book. It is not part of the Bible.

Nice try with your underhanded approach in tyring to associate an aporcyphal book as the Bible. Mix it with other books of the Bible. Mix the lie with the truth.

Seems like I read of that before. (Matt. 4:5-10)

Nothing new under the sun.

The OP is Catholic and there are apocryphal books that are included in their bible. Let's not make this a thread arguing about the apocrypha please.

This thread is all about accepting the Roman Catholic apocryphal books as Scripture, which I do not. Which Protestantism does not.

If this is coming from a Catholic point of view then it should be in the denomination section and so labeled.

When he says Bible and I say Bible, we are talking about two different books.

If the OP was honest, he would have made that distinction in his list. He should have said that his list includes people from the apocryphal books in the Catholic Bible.

But he didn't. He wants you to accept his list as from the Bible. And I do not accept his list as from the Bible, for the reason given.

Mix lies with the truth?

Just because something is non-canonical, that doesn’t make it a lie. Something can still be historical despite being non-canonical. If it was a lie then I don’t think the Jewish rabbis would be reading it every Hanukkah.

I accept Maccabees as scripture because I’m Catholic. If you reject it as canon, you at least shouldn’t deceive yourself into thinking that it isn’t historically true. Even secular unbelieving historians accept Maccabees as true history.
