    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Purgatory is not mentioned in the apocrypha. Again, Wisdom 2 mentions..Gods secret purposes, wages of holiness, prize for the blameless soul, eternity for those who refuse the company of satan 21 Thus they reasoned, but they were led astray, for their wickedness blinded them, 22 and they did...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Yeah, just because he defends the apocrypha books but believes in purgatory does not disqualify the fact that protestant commentators had no problem citing the Apocrypha, where as very recently Lutherans offer their new apologetic "it doesn't say therefore any suggestion is worthless especially...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    "For instance, the whole of the history of Susanna, which gave a lesson of chastity to the churches of God, has by him been cut out, thrown aside and dismissed. The hymn of the three children, which is regularly sung on festivals in the Church of God, he has wholly erased from the place where it...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    No Josiah you are wrong Rufinus was good friends with Jerome, however he did not agree with Jerome's label "apocrypha", he explains this in his list of canon "But it should be known that there are also other books which our fathers call not "Canonical" but "Ecclesiastical:" that is to say...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Tent camping next to the river, smores sound great! My mom used to always take us camping on the river as kids, I always loved relaxing by tubing down the lazy Guadalupe river. I went last September with my sisters and it was so much fun and peaceful, reminded me a lot of my mom, really felt...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Canon is set by men not God, so boo that all together, that's why I never cared to discuss councils to begin with. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect...

    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    To strive, to grow and mature in your walk with God, all you need to do is read the word and the spirit will hear and good works will come, forgiveness is key, forgive others and God will forgive you your sins (that no man is without).

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Lamm created this thread, other threads are more specific concerning a particular passage of a particular book in the form of a layman's question. The question here was what books of the apocrypha point to Jesus as Messiah? Well they are full of references to the resurrection, the prophet to...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Pfffft! Since when does mathematical criticism matter? And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. And Jacob served seven years...

    "forbidden fruit"? Nathan is just stating that the Septuagint is a translation from an earlier, more original Hebrew Text

    But still, not all Christians are protestants, any apologetic work has some textual criticism in the program. For instance Jews and Christians converse on what certain words really mean in the efforts of applying their exegesis. You are free to do as you wish, maybe ask Romanos what...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Again, are these following passages prophetic of Jesus Christ or are the passages utterly uninspired? (For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves...) ...Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us...
