Our Bibles today are completely different than the early church’s. The early church used the Greek Septuagint. Words are different. Phrases are different and sometimes missing from our Bibles that the Septuagint includes. Chapters are missing from our Bibles today. Whole books are missing...
All of it is important to me. Even the small details.
Although it is kind of odd to me that using an entirely different Bible is a “small thing” in your eyes.
A Bible with missing books and missing chapters is insignificant to you? I thought Jesus cares very much about the smallest stroke of a...
David Bercot made a dictionary of early Christian beliefs. If you take a look inside, you’ll find there’s lots of beliefs of the early church that were different than modern church beliefs.
I said that there’s lots of things.
The fact that we’re using a Bible which literally has Messianic prophecies removed from it. But the Septuagint had those prophecies included. Like Isaiah 61:1 for example. Our Bibles today are missing the phrase about healing the blind. The Septuagint had it...
You need to do some math.
Add up the ages of Moses, his father Amram, and his father Kohath. It only comes to 350 maximum.
Moses: 80 when he left Egypt.
Amram: 137
Kohath: 133
Kohath was part of the 66 people who went down to Egypt.
80 + 137 + 133 = 350.
You can’t get more than 350 years in...
Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ...
“Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.”

There’s lots of examples, not just one.
Like for example, the way the modern church explains the two genealogies of Jesus is to say that one of them was of Mary. But Eusebius explains in his Ecclesiastical History that that both were of Joseph. The modern church doesn’t want to believe that. I...
Poor wording? Hardly. Any normal person knew what I meant. Why are you being so insulting, judgmental, and hostile?
ANYWAY, can we get back to the topic instead of splitting hairs over unrelated matters?
Luther is making a distinction between 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. He’s saying 1 Maccabees should be in among the sacred scriptures and 2 Maccabees should be thrown out.
They celebrated Pascha. That Greek word is translated as Passover.
Obviously they were also celebrating the Resurrection Sunday. But they were also celebrating the Passover along with it. Lamb, unleavened bread, the whole feast.
