The Protestant church is the faith that places its faith in those who don’t have faith. We worship the unbelieving Jews, we practically idolize Israel, and we rip books out of our Bibles because the rabbis told us to.

That’s really dishonest, man. The councils of Rome, Hippo, and Carthage were COUNCILS. Jerome and Athanasius voiced their opinion that these books don’t belong since the Jews don’t accept them. These church fathers were INDIVIDUALS with their own individual opinions. They were not church...

Hebrews 11:35 is the closest I got. But that’s slightly after Christ. I already told you that I don’t have any sources before Christ. And neither do you. I believe the early church (believers) and you believe the Jews (unbelievers). You don’t have any primary sources from before the time of...

So, let me get this straight. You believe that 1 Maccabees was authored by Jews before the time of Christ, but that they didn’t accept it as scripture. They just accepted it as “just history.” And yet, the only sources you have are the testimonies of unbelieving Jews who lived after the time of...

Show me the evidence, primary sources, from before the time of Christ, where the Jews made the claim that Maccabees is “just history” and not “holy scripture.”

Can you provide the historical evidence and proof that Maccabees was authored before the time of Christ? Or do you believe it was authored after Christ?

Maccabees wasn’t authored by Christians. The Catholic church didn’t make it up. It was authored by Jews who lived before Christ, and it fulfills the prophecies in Daniel 8 and 11. Why don’t YOU provide the evidence that Maccabees was written after the time of Christ, since that’s what you’re...

The Jews themselves admit it on their own website. At MyJewishLearning.com they admit that 1 Maccabees was in Hebrew originally, and that the council of Jamnia in 90 AD is when the decision was made to exclude it, and they don’t know why. They say so on their own websites. Besides, it’s the...

The Jews who lived before the time of Christ accepted Maccabees as scripture. That’s why they included it in the Greek Septuagint. And because the Septuagint included it, that’s why the early Christians accepted it. But after the time of Christ, the unbelieving Jews took it out. They wanted to...

Honestly, since Daniel prophesies about the history that took place in Maccabees, then it actually doesn’t make sense to me as to why Maccabees shouldn’t belong in our Bibles. That literally makes no sense to me. And since multiple early church councils declared Maccabees to be scripture, then...

Repeating yourself again? Repeating yourself again? Repeating yourself again? What do you mean I’ve done nothing to support the claim that it’s scripture? 3 early church councils in the 300’s declared Maccabees to be scripture. THREE. How many early church councils can you point to that...

If anyone is using circular reasoning, it’s you. Your whole entire belief is based upon what the unbelieving rabbis today say. You just assume that these people who reject Christ are actually telling you the truth. And you assume that all these early church councils who accepted Christ are all...

My reason is that the Septuagint included it in the centuries before Christ. The Jews put it in their Greek translation. That’s the only logical explanation as to why the early churches accepted it.

The Jews who lived before the time of Christ had 1 Maccabees in Hebrew and included in the Hebrew Bible. That’s why it was included in the Greek translation used by Jews, and later accepted by Christians. It was only after 90 AD at the council of Jamnia (after the start of Christianity) that...

Repeating yourself again? Repeating yourself again? Repeating yourself again?

Maccabees is connected to Hanukkah just as much as Esther is connected to Purim. The Jews read Esther on Purim, and they read Maccabees on Hanukkah. Do you really think that the Rugrats holiday special is the primary source text for Hanukkah? Give me a break. You know these are really lame...

There was a wedding that took place in Tobit. But I don’t remember a wedding taking place in Maccabees. If there was, then provide chapter and verse and explain what your point is. Also, how is it sinful to celebrate Hanukkah? Where does it say the Maccabees got tattoos? People have been...

Explain what? There was a wedding that took place in Maccabees? Don’t just say you can explain it and then not explain it. If there’s something you’re trying to say then just say it.

From now on I’m blocking you and silencing your comments. You’re comments are nonsensical and unrelated to the topic at hand. You’re wasting my time. Goodbye. [emoji112]

Again, you’re not making sense. Specify the chapter and verse in Maccabees that talks about this wedding. If you can’t, then you’re just talking gibberish. You’re wasting people’s time.
