    Did Jesus celebrate a holiday that comes from the apocrypha?

    Apocrypha?

    You keep saying that I’m ignoring historical facts. Huh? Which early church council rejected the apocryphal books? What in the world? They didn’t have an ecumenical council, but they had multiple local ones. So they still accepted these books and declared them to be scripture. Just because...

    Apocrypha?

    Wait, what’s historical facts? The fact that multiple church councils declared 1 and 2 Maccabees to be scripture? The council in Rome, in Hippo, and in Carthage? They declared these books to be apart of divine, holy scripture. Can you show me one single church council that rejected these books...

    Who was tortured?

    But the only thing that fits is 2 Maccabees 7. When he says that there were those who shut the mouths of lions, we know he’s talking about Daniel in the lion’s den. That’s not conjecture. When he says there were those who quenched the flames of fire, we know he’s talking about Shadrach...

    Apocrypha?

    They did accept them. They may not have had an ecumenical council on it. But they did have multiple local councils, each accepting 1 and 2 Maccabees. You’re just throwing out technicalities that in no way effect the point I’m making.

    Apocrypha?

    Oh, ok. So they weren’t ecumenical. Oh no. So incriminating. Look, they all declared which books belong in the Bible. And they all agreed upon 1 and 2 Maccabees. Now, did they all agree upon 3 and 4 Maccabees? No. But 1 and 2 they did. So there’s no reason to question those. There’s no way to...

    Apocrypha?

    When multiple church councils declared Maccabees to be scripture, then we should take that seriously instead of throwing it in the trash. Please show me ONE church council from the 300’s that said Maccabees doesn’t belong. And what do you mean PROVISIONALLY?

    Apocrypha?

    I said that the early church declared Maccabees to be scripture. You said they did not. Then I showed the specific instances when they did. Yes, the Catholic Church removed 3 and 4 Esdras. What’s that got to do with Maccabees? The early church declared Maccabees to be scripture.

    Apocrypha?

    Yes, they did. Council of Rome, 382 AD. Council of Hippo, 393 AD. Council of Carthage 397 AD. Learn your history.

    Apocrypha?

    Almost the whole entire chapter of Daniel 8 is fulfilled in Maccabees. Almost the whole entire chapter of Daniel 11 is fulfilled in Maccabees. The holiday Jesus celebrated in John 10:22 commemorated the Maccabees. Paul mentioned the events in Maccabees in Hebrews 11:35. Tell me how it’s not...

    Apocrypha?

    The early church declared that 1 and 2 Maccabees are the Word of God. But to you, they’re not valuable?

    Who was tortured?

    So, who were the men that were tortured? The men in Maccabees 7?

    Who was tortured?

    Hebrews 11:35 says men were tortured, not accepting deliverance so that they might obtain a better resurrection. Who was Paul talking about? Sounds like 2 Maccabees chapter 7 to me.

    Apocrypha?

    Multiple church councils declared 1 and 2 Maccabees to be holy scripture in the late 300's. The council of Rome in 382. Hippo in 393. Carthage in 397. Can you please share what church councils declared World War 2 history books to be holy scripture? I've never heard of these church councils...

    Apocrypha?

    There's a lot that is missing. Daniel 8 is a significant prophecy. Not only does it prophesy about the events of Antiochus the King of the Seleucid empire, but according to Jesus it's also a dual prophecy in regards to the anti-christ still to come. So in order to understand what it still to...
