So you ADMIT that you don’t know what the manuscripts are that pre-date the 4th century. Thus, you made a false claim that you cannot substantiate. If we don’t have any manuscripts of either Latin or Greek codices used by early church fathers, then how do you know that the book of Tobit or ANY...

What are some examples you can apply to your own life?

You create this totally fictitious non-academic scenario that Jewish historians during the first century conducted a conspiracy to change the Old Testament Jewish books. Therefore, you conclude that Josephus' statement (which negates your claims) are unreliable. Yet, we have no Christian or...

Actually, I presented the same logic you did in your original statement. I'm surprised you missed that. The point is, the fact that a book may contain historical material that can be used to clarify previous Scriptural prophecies cannot be a justification or a reason to accept that book as...

Hey Nathan, ever read Tommy Ice's book The Case for Zionism? He discusses historical fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies related to the first worldwide regathering of Israel in 1948 etc. You cannot understand those Old Testament prophecies without books like Ice's that record the history of...

It’s very upsetting to see how this administration is operating. This is the opposite of free speech.

The guy who did the study on it that I linked includes a section specifically on the Jewish writings. I think its one of the last three videos in the series. All directly sourced from the Talmud, all the Jewish writings, quotes from top rabbis etc. And the thing that blew my mind was the video...

I think you did an excellent job on your video of the chronology of the sojourn in Egypt. One of the most interesting Bible chronology mysteries to me is Daniel's 70 weeks, and in particular the first 69 weeks counting down to Christ. So far the most in-depth and best studies on this I can find...

Sir you are full of misinformation. The Book of Revelation was not written until 95 A.D. You think the Jews were preoccupied with denying letters written from one Christian to another while they were dealing with the destruction of their way of life? The Jews at Jamnia were forced to rebrand...

That is not even logically coherent. The Jews had no motivation to deny the Christian Scriptures - they were irrelevant to them. They didn't even accept Christ! And by the time 90 A.D. came around, the New Testament wasn't even complete yet, and many of the books had only been written for a...

That is not the point I made. You missed it. The point was the Jews have no incentive to commit some conspiracy at Jamnia to remove the Apocrypha.

I fully agree that the Jewish community wanted to distance themselves from the Septuagint, as the Septuagint had become known as the "Christian's Bible." I agree they obscured and/or outright changed verses such as "they shall look upon me who they have pierced," which Christians were using...

I don't actually believe you are unaware of it. Surely if you're as good at research as your are at being argumentative, you can find it yourself.

Josephus defined the number of books in the widely accepted Jewish inspired canon for the past several hundred years. He provides a count of books that is directly equivalent to the number of Christian Old Testament books when you account for the different ways the Jews reckon the books compared...

Don't be fooled by this, people! This entire argument is flawed, and an astute observer can catch onto Nathan's error in the first few paragraphs. He ASSUMES without evidence (and DESPITE CONTRARY EVIDENCE) that the Apocryphal books were considered canonical inspired writings by the ancient Jews...

The following is a good representation of what I believe on this topic and can be found at this site... https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/essay/the-apocrypha/ The fact that the Jews limited their Scriptures to the Hebrew canon should not come as a surprise given that there was an established...

If the Catholic church’s teachings are infallible, then why have they changed so much over the past millennia? They must have been wrong at some point.

That is not a logical explanation. There are always extreme fringe minorities who espouse a deviant view. That proves nothing. The overwhelming majority affirmation throughout history is a much stronger proof that the Jews never did accept it. And this sentiment is bolstered by a secular Jewish...

Where are you getting this from? The early church certainly did not accept them. At most it became a controversial topic as the church slide further and further into apostasy over the centuries. Your statement is not accurate. The Jews never accepted them as scripture, which is a major reason...

Why won’t you accept the testimony of Josephus that the Jews only accepted the equivalent of the Protestant Christian Old Testament? What evidence do you have to overturn his plain historical statement in the 1st century?
