    Was Ezra a prophet?

    I think that Ezra was a saint of old however I am not certain whether he was a prophet or not. He was a high priest who witnessed the canonization of the Torah His works are studied alongside the Writings or Khethubim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why did Athanasius and Melito of Sardis say that Esther doesn’t belong in the canon of scripture?

    I recall that the name of God was not mentioned in the book therefore they thought that it did not belong in the Bible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Doesn’t the book of Hebrews reference Maccabees?

    If this is true, then the entire Bible is a forgery because the manuscripts were copied and recopied through the centuries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Doesn’t the book of Hebrews reference Maccabees?

    I would have to agree with you. The author was writing to Hebrews, Jews and referred to the Old Testament in the writings. So the quotes would have come from Scripture rather than a non canonical writing. There is a dispute by most scholars today and many no longer believe that Paul was the...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    Josiah It can be argued; it just cannot be proven beyond a doubt Besides I think that Mary probably did marry Joseph and became his wife and bore other children. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Doesn’t the book of Hebrews reference Maccabees?

    Whether the writer of Hebrews was referring to the book of Maccabees is irrelevant. If the writer did refer to it, that doesn’t make it inspired or canonical. It merely means that it’s history and was referred to by the author of Hebrews. The fact that other Old Testament writings might have...

    What are the historical inaccuracies in the book of Judith?

    This is wrong. The Maccabee family did live 200+ years BCE. Their writing is not part of the Scripture however their story is an accurate one and they are from the lineage of Judah Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fact facts! If Mary didn’t have sexual relations she remained a virgin!! Inferring perpetual virginity! No one is saying that the situation reversed!! Until means that at some point there were sexual relations between the two; right? Married couples have sex as God planned it and Joseph took...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    The word ‘eos’ (until) is used 546 times in the Scriptures! Almost 100 times in the New Testament alone and all have the same meaning! Matthew 5:26 is just one example 26 Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last quadrans. Matthew 5:26 - Bible Gateway...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    The Bible doesn’t have to say verbatim that “Mary had sex with Joseph “ for it to be so!! The fact that Joseph took Mary to be his wife indicates that they consummated that union as dictated by Torah. Scripture says that “Joseph did not have relations with Mary until she gave birth to her...
