    Enoch and Elijah

    Well Elijah was incarnated as John the Baptist who himself did not even perceive he was Elijah, and John died (Jesus confirms that John is Elijah) HOWEVER Elijah appeared along side Moses at the transfiguration. Jesus had the supernatural ability (in his glorified body) to appear and vanish at...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    And your idea of "Canonical" is far from the tradition concept, it is limited to YOUR 500 year old church, where in the Bible can I find... "All and only all of the specified 66 books of the protestant canon is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    Because we are all in agreement with the New Testament and I am sure that every letter written by the Apostles and the 70 who followed could have made it into Scripture but were too repetitive, the Gospel is short, simple and sweet and we are discussing the OT. What do the Ecclesiastical books...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    When Paul addresses unbelievers he uses their books to his advantage When addressing Christian converts he uses HOLY Scripture When we address the Jews we use the common scripture (Canon) When we address the church we use all Scripture (Timothy)

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    Origen! Why did you say Maccabees was Holy Scripture then?? "But that we may believe on the authority of holy Scripture that such is the case, hear how in the book of Maccabees, where the mother of seven martyrs exhorts her son to endure torture, this truth is confirmed; for she says, "I ask of...

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    Paul never mentioned the word "canon" but he does mention the word "scripture". What you "think" Paul meant is not backed up by Paul nor biblical tradition. Technically the NT is "Apocrypha" to the Jews, and Mr. Brilliant (Jerome) labeled the books that the "sons of their father the devil"...

    Was the Messiah prophesied to heal the blind according to the OT?

    Its translated from an original text thats no longer around, the Masoretic was also translated from a text that it no longer around. Jesus quoted from the original text correctly.

    Introduction to the Ecclesiastical books

    Ecclesticals are not Canonical but ARE scripture AND Church tradition! Thank you for providing proof of my point! Note that Rufinus says next that the APOCRYPHA would not have been read in the churches, he is not talking about the ECCLESIASTICALS WHICH HE LISTED THE NAMES OF

    Ecclesiasticals and Canonical ARE equal Josiah, they serve different roles but one is no less important than the other

    Was the Messiah prophesied to heal the blind according to the OT?

    The OP is a simple question concerning the whereabouts of a specific prophetic line that should be in Isaiah 61 according the Jesus. Again this has nothing to do with apocryphal books and I am not using any form of switch baiting, its a genuine question.

    Was the Messiah prophesied to heal the blind according to the OT?

    I promise you this has nothing to due with any apocrypha book. Jesus quotes from Isaiah as it is written, Isaiah actually says "and recovery of sight to the blind", not paraphrased either but literally says "and recovery if sight to the blind" and Jesus literally quotes directly from the...

    Was the Messiah prophesied to heal the blind according to the OT?

    But we are addressing what is "written" in Luke 4:17-18 that Jesus reads out loud in the synagogue as he quotes directly from the scroll of Isaiah. It's too huge an elephant of an anomaly to ignore when a much more ancient text source translation that predates the time of Jesus VALIDATES and...
