    Did Jesus descend into Hell when he died on the cross?

    As stated in the Apostle’s creed? Where is the scripture to back it up? What did he do when he was there?

    Catholic Church definition of the canonical scriptures.

    Catholics didn’t add those extra chapters. The Jews removed them. They weren’t added. They were deleted.

    Catholic Church definition of the canonical scriptures.

    The Catholic Church didn’t add those writings. Those writings were in the original Hebrew, and the Jews removed them. The Catholic Church merely preserved what was in the original Hebrew.

    Catholic Church definition of the canonical scriptures.

    The Catholic Church didn’t decide that canon. The early church did.

    Comparing Romans 2:13 and Romans 3:20

    When he says to obey the law, he’s talking about the moral law, like don’t steal, kill, or commit adultery. But when he says we’re not declared righteous by the works of the law, he’s taking about the works of circumcision, dietary laws, observing New Moons and special sabbaths, etc. things...

    "Apocrypha" & The Gospel: Comparison Study #01

    I’m glad I listened to David Bercot’s teaching on the Septuagint and Apocrypha. I’m convinced it belongs.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Illogical. Most Old Testament books are not mentioned by name. Most quotes are just quoting or referencing without mentioning the name of the book. Illogical argument. For example: 2 Peter 2 references the story of Balaam. That story is only recorded in Numbers 22. But he doesn’t mention the...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    There is no “inter-testamental” period. The Old Testament was finished when Jesus said on the cross “It is finished.” The beginning of the New Testament IS the end of the Old. A testament does not go into effect until the death of the testator.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Did you ever think there was a mixed tradition among the Jews? The Sadducees didn’t believe in a resurrection. They wouldn’t have taken a liking to 2 Maccabees, since it talks about the resurrection. But the Pharisees DID believe in the resurrection. And since Paul was a Pharisee, and since...

    Origen de Principiis book 2 ch 1.5 (185- 254ad) "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 thee, my...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    That’s not what the context suggests. The idea that it’s “just history” and “not holy scripture” is your own idea that you’re imposing onto the text. But that’s not what the context of Hebrews 11 suggests. The fact that so many in the early church reference Maccabees as holy scripture, this...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    That’s a double standard. Everything in Hebrews 11 is a reference to old Testament Biblical history….oh, except for this one section of a verse where we’re going to pull it out of context and say that it’s “just history”. But the rest of it is referencing Holy scripture. But Maccabees is “just...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    If the New Testament writers are referencing them, then they clearly expected their audience to have read them. Therefore, we should also read them.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    This response is nonsense. You and I both know that the vast majority of New Testament references to the Old Testament almost never mention the exact book they come from. This is why it’s a waste of time talking to you, because you don’t respond with anything honest to say. Your logic defies all...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    The context of Hebrews 11 tells me that the author of Hebrews considered 2 Maccabees as scripture, since verse 35 references the tortured men right alongside the rest of biblical figures. No honest person would think differently (hence, you’re not honest). And yes, the New Testament also...

    Why don’t you go talk to someone else in another conversion about another topic? You just copy and paste the same dogma over and over. We’ve already heard it from you hundreds of times, and we don’t need to keep hearing it again and again. Let other people talk for a change. I’d like to hear...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Huh? Context, bro. Hebrews 11 is clearly talking about Biblical history all throughout the chapter. A child in grade school can understand context.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Esther is never mentioned in the New Testament. Never even alluded to. But Hebrews 11:35 DOES allude to 2 Maccabees, and the context implies that it’s biblical history. And 2 Maccabees references “Mordecai’s Day” (aka Purim) on the 14th of Adar. So the New Testament doesn’t verify Esther. But...
