Read what Benjamin Rush said about public schools. In case you don’t know who he is, he’s one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I disagree. Clearly you haven’t read the writings of Benjamin Rush. Besides, the poor is who is at stake here. The rich can pay for Christian schools. The rich can afford to have a parent stay home and homeschool. The poor are the ones who can’t afford these things. And they deserve to know the...

Maybe he’s never heard of the council of Nicaea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So what if it’s not always verbatim? The fact that we would find even ONE example where the New Testament sides with the Septuagint over the Masoretic…. that alone should get our attention. But the experts who have studied this find that 90% of the time the NT sides more with the LXX, and...

Like I said, you can listen to Bercot’s teaching, and ask him for resources for his claims. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude, you really need to listen to David Bercot’s audio teaching on the Septuagint. Bercot has read the whole entire volume of the ante-Nicene fathers. When Jerome’s translation was first published, the vast majority of Christians around the world just flat out rejected it. Jerome received...

Acts 22 says that Paul addressed a crowd in Hebrew, and they understood him. Paul was of Benjamin, not Levi. My theory as to why the book of Hebrews sides with the Septuagint is because the author was quoting the original, accurate Hebrew, and the Greek Septuagint reflects that original...

Not necessarily. He might have been quoting from an older copy of the Hebrew. Some early church fathers said that Hebrews was written in the Hebrew language, and then translated into Greek later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s a good example of how the New Testament follows the Greek Septuagint. Notice in Hebrews 8, when quoting Jeremiah, it says that God disregarded His people: “not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land...

I honestly cannot for the life of me figure out why any truthful Christian cannot understand the logic behind this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mean, think about the Maccabees. They didn’t politely ask the Greeks to please stop polluting the temple. No, they fought them with swords, spears, and arrows and forced them out. But the “peaceful” Jews refused to fight on the Sabbath, and a thousand of them were slaughtered. Sent from my...

The thing that I’m mainly concerned about is how the canonical books are translated from the Hebrew Masoretic, which is corrupted. The Greek Septuagint better reflects the original Hebrew. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The “Bible” is the Old and New Testaments. Since Luther took these books out of the Old Testament, and put them in a separate section saying “these books are not Bible” then even though the books were printed in the Bible, technically they were not considered part of the Bible. So yes, he did...

That’s a good question. The reason why is because early church councils such as Rome, Hippo, Carthage, and many others included Maccabees and didn’t include the gospel of Thomas. I would have no problem with taking the gospel of Thomas seriously. But since so many early church councils...

Oh, right. Sorry. Yes, 1885 is when the King James was first printed without the apocrypha. What I meant was when Protestants first started talking them out of the main body of text. I think someone else answered 1534. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
