    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    I would be ok with that. Just so that it gets in to people's hands and they read it.

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    Well, the Apocryphal books in the King James for sure. But the Greek Septuagint also consisted of 3 and 4 Maccabees.

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    I think the Apocrypha belongs in the Bible. Other people say that it's doesn't. What do you say?

    1 Maccabees was originally written in Hebrew

    That's why the early church accepted it as scripture. Even Martin Luther called it scripture.

    TOBIT -by NathanH83

    Your link is inaccurate. Tobit wasn't a Jew. He was an Israelite from the tribe of Naphtali. He was of the northern kingdom of Israel, not the southern kingdom of Judah. And yes, it's true that modern-day Jews don't accept it. But Jews before Christ did because they added it to the Greek...

    TOBIT -by NathanH83

    Tobit was translated into Greek in the 2nd century. That's not when it was authored in Hebrew.

    "They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet." -Genesis 7:19-20 Do local floods cover the highest mountains under the entire heavens?

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Ok, well, Jesus clearly says that he's talking about the son of Berechiah, but you're talking about the son of Jehoiada. Do you have an explanation why you're mixing them up? Zechariah 1:1 clearly says that this Zechariah is the son of Berechiah. Wouldn't the natural assumption be that Jesus is...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    You need to read Zechariah 1:1. It states that Zechariah son of Berechiah lived during the reign of Darius. That's about 500 BC, about a century after the Babylonian captivity. That's about a whole 3 centuries after the Zechariah son of Jehoiada from 2 Chronocles. This Zechariah lived during...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Why did you lie about Jesus talking about the Zechariah in 2 Chronicles, when Jesus is clearly talking about a completely different Zechariah a whole 300 years later? The Zechariah in 2 Chronicles 24:20 is the son of Jehoiada, and he lived during the reign of Joash King of Judah, around the year...

    OT post flood genealogy off a tad according to original hebrew text

    At least watch the first 5 seconds. You might find it enjoyable. I tried to make it as entertaining as I could, for people with a short attention span and need a good laugh every now and then.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Oh, I agree. The KJV has errors because its Old Testament was derived from the corrupt Hebrew Masoretic text. There are many instances where the KJV is more accurate than modern versions (like with unicorns), but it's not the original and should not be treated as such.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    The King James Translators were convinced that the Apostles sided with the Septuagint. They said so in their note "From the Translators to the Reader." And somehow their disciples, and their disciples, and their disciples became convinced that the "Apocryphal" books (as you call them) were a...
