I’m not sure I understand how you even remotely answered the question

So, a sacrifice in the present CAN atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

Ok.... Leviticus says to burn the inner organs of a sheep (a clean animal). And that’s good. Tobit says to burn the inner organs of a fish (also clean animal, since Tobias ate it). And that’s....bad? I’m sorry, I’m not seeing how this is contradictory. Can you please reference the exact...

I’m not talking about today, of course. But in Old Testament times.

Can you show me where the Bible says that it’s sinful to burn fish guts? Or can you show that burning fish guts is witchcraft? Do you know any witches specifically who said that they burn fish guts? Where’s the connection? How do you prove Tobias was sinning? How do you prove Tobias was...

I never mentioned the Leviathan. What about the issues in regards to Tobit? What’s so bad about this book that it’s disqualified from being scripture?

Huh? Tobit never mentions Leviathan. Can we get back to my question about Tobit?

What are you talking about? My original question was about what is wrong with the Book of Tobit that would disqualify it from being included in the Bible. I never asked about the Leviathan. I’m totally confused what you’re talking about.

12:9

Well, Tobit says that almsgiving purges sin. Charity is almsgiving. But the New Testament would never say that, right?

The fish was clean. Tobias ate it. Tobit kept God’s laws while the rest of Israel was abandoning them. He would have trained his son the same.

Is Tobit bad because it wasn’t written by a prophet? Because every other Old Testament book was written by a prophet, right?

Is Tobit bad because it says Sennacherib was the son of Shalmaneser? It should say he’s the son of Sargon, right? Shalmaneser had been dead for 17 years at the time Sennacherib became king. So Tobit is bad because of that, right?

Is the book of Tobit bad because it says charity covers a multitude of sins? Because certainly that’s not found anywhere in the New Testament, is it?

Ah! So it WAS found in Hebrew among the early Jews. Didn’t someone say earlier that there’s no copies in Hebrew or Aramaic?

Wow! Good point!

Has the book of Tobit never been found in Hebrew or Aramaic, the languages of the Old Testament?

You’re not answering my question. Tobit says they burned fish guts. People have told me the Bible says not to do that. But Leviticus actually instructs the Levites to burn the organs of a sheep. You call that an occult practice. So you’re saying burning animal organs is an occult practice? I’m...

Tobit says they burned fish guts. I’ve heard that’s not allowed because that’s witchcraft. Is it witchcraft? Does the Bible say it’s a sin to burn animal organs?
