    Is the book of Tobit just fan fiction or real history?

    Take the time to read it sometime. It’s a fun story. It would make an excellent movie. Whether it’s scripture or not, I’m just curious if it really happened. In Hebrews 13, Paul talks about men who entertained angels unaware. I never knew what Paul was talking about. Nothing in the Old...

    Is the book of Tobit just fan fiction or real history?

    Can you please point out an actual historical error with the book of Tobit? I’m not talking about theological errors, based upon your interpretation of certain theological statements made throughout the book. I’m asking about undeniable historical errors. You know, like the way the Book of...

    Is the book of Tobit just fan fiction or real history?

    "Now indeed we must treat of the divine scriptures, what the universal Catholic Church accepts and what she ought to shun. The order of the Old Testament begins here: Genesis, one book; Exodus, one book; Leviticus, one book; Numbers, one book; Deuteronomy, one book; Joshua [Son of] Nave, one...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    So you DO acknowledge that Jesus’ sacrifice atoned for the sins of men who died in the past! Why didn’t you just say so?

    Is the book of Tobit just fan fiction or real history?

    Can you please address the question please? Nothing that you’ve said here addresses the question of whether or not Tobit is historically accurate, or just a work of fiction.

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    You said that a sacrifice in the present cannot atone for the sins of men who died in the past. So Jesus didn’t die for the sins of the people who lived before him?

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    There are no examples that I can think of where anyone in the Old Testament sacrificed an animal to atone for the sins of someone who had already died, except for 2 Maccabees 12. But... in the New Testament I can think of an example. Jesus’ sacrifice paid for everyone, past, present, and...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    You still didn’t answer the question. Why did Jesus preach the gospel to people who he had no intention of saving? The word “gospel” means “Good News.” What was the good news that Jesus had for those spirits in prison who died in the days of Noah? Did he go down into the lower parts of the...

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    So why did Jesus preach the gospel to the spirits in prison in the lower parts of the Earth, who died in the days of Noah? Jesus just preaches the gospel to people with no intention of saving them?

    Does Judith really have a historical mistake?

    The Bible says that Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon, ruling from the city of Babylon, but Judith says he was king of Assyria, ruling from the city of Ninevah. Does this prove Judith is fiction? Or is there something else we’re not thinking of?

    What is the main reason why the Apocrypha doesn’t belong in the Bible?

    2 Maccabees 12 says that they sent money to Jerusalem TO PROVIDE for a sin offering. Notice the words “to provide.” Seems like you missed that part. Any Jew who sees the phrase “sin offering” is going to know that it’s talking about the sin offering that is talked about in Leviticus. Leviticus...

    The Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and Ethiopian Orthodox churches - all three of these accept the books of 1 and 2 Maccabees, Judith, Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch, plus the extra chapters in Daniel and Esther.
