Now I will provide the canon lists of the 4th century. It is within this century that the first Latin lists appear. In keeping with the basic outline given in the OP, I have divided the lists into Greek and Latin sources starting with earliest ones first. I will post the Greek sources first...

Name please?

Before moving on to the 4th century canon lists, certain points should be noted in regard to the above lists. (1) The above lists cover the 1st through the 3rd centuries. (2) They cover both Jewish (i.e. two) and Christian (i.e. three) sources. (3) All the lists are very consistent with each...

Before moving on to the 4th century lists, the Jewish sources must be examined. Josephus (Against Apion I.37–44) This work is dated ca. A.D. 95. Unfortunately Josephus does not list the books by name. He states: "Our books, those which are justly accredited, are but two and twenty, and contain...

If Trump has been convicted the Democrats could have voted to disqualified him from holding federal office in the future. This would have prevented Trump from running again for president again in 2024 if he wanted, and it also would have barred him from running for the House or Senate.

The Senate vote was 57-43 and that means acquittal. Two thirds are needed to convict. Seven GOP senators voted against Trump.

Hello and welcome

Since I truly believe in encouraging others to study the LXX, I thought I would post some other interesting facts. The LXX Daniel was not the preferred version of the church. For some reason LXX Daniel was rejected in favor of Theodotion's version. Jerome informs us: "I also wish to emphasize...

Received my first vaccination about two and a half hours ago, no problems. Second vaccination in 30 days.

No Greek lexicon or Greek grammars agree with above claims. For those of you who are really interested in this topic seek out scholarly sources, those who actually KNOW Greek. Dr. Mounce is a well respected Greek and N.T. scholar. (1) He has taught Greek for years. (2) He has written...
