    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    Did Jerome actually say in his Vulgate that Tobit is Apocryphal? Or just that the Jews believed that? Do you have a reference? I read Jerome’s intro to Judith, and he claimed that the Nicean council found Judith to be scripture. Did Jerome actually claim that the church rejects Tobit???

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    Rome, Hippo, and Carthage, late 380’s and 390’s. Not sure of any others. But there’s plenty of examples of other church fathers quoting it as scripture, others rejecting it. But who’s right?

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    I don’t think you can show that the Eastern Orthodox ever accepted the Latin Vulgate. The early church greatly criticized the Vulgate when it was first published. I care more about what the very first Christians thought.

    Do you agree with the Nicean creed, but disagree with the other decisions at the Council of Nicaea?

    “Forasmuch as many enrolled among the Clergy, following covetousness and lust of gain, have forgotten the divine Scripture, which says, “He has not given his money upon usury,” (Psalm 15) and in lending money ask the hundredth of the sum [as monthly interest], the holy and great Synod thinks it...

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    Jerome and others expressed their opinion that Tobit is non-canonical (Even though the church required him to include it as canonical). But many Christians and church councils declared Tobit to be divine canonical scripture. It’s their words against theirs. How do you know who is right? I...

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    Jerome included Tobit because the church required him too, even though he had a different opinion. That’s my point. We see these opinions from individuals like Jerome. But I don’t know of any Bible manuscripts that omit the book of Tobit any time before the 1500’s.

    How do you interpret Jesus’ parable of the Minas?

    Luke 19:11-27 “Parable of the Minas” How do you understand Jesus’ parable of the Minas? At one point, the master tells the servant “I’ll judge you by your own words?” What did Jesus mean by that? How was the master judging the servant by his own words?” “Parable of the Minas” While they...

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    I was talking about Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, and Alexandrinus. There’s other Bible manuscripts too. I don’t know a single one of them omitting Tobit. At least before the 1500’s. I’d love for someone to show one.

    Where does the Bible mention the Bar Mitzvah?

    If it’s not in the Bible, then is it Biblical? Why don’t Christians have this ritual? Do you think that Spielberg invented the “PG-13” rating because boys have Bar Mitzvah at 13?

    Not by works?

    I don’t think that’s what he’s saying. I think he’s saying that the people who have no works…that’s evidence that they don’t really have faith at all.

    Do you think America should live by American principles or by Biblical ones?

    I think denominational beliefs should stay out of public office. We don’t want Anglican leaders imprisoning Baptists and Presbyterians. But basic Christian beliefs that all Christians believe, should be upheld. Anti-Christs and Atheists should stay out of public office.

    Confusing what? God gives Christians commands today that many of them don’t follow.

    Not by works?

    I think that if a lot of Christians today lived in Noah’s day, they’d rebuke him for not having faith. “Stop working on that boat, Noah. Salvation is by faith, not by works. You’re not going to save yourself by your own works by building a boat. Just sit back and relax, and trust that God will...

    Do you think America should live by American principles or by Biblical ones?

    I don’t think so. I think we should be a Christian nation founded on Christian and biblical principles. Those who are not Christian I think should stay out of office.

    Do you think America should live by American principles or by Biblical ones?

    I just think that the Comstitution was influenced by Biblcal principals. I don’t thimk theirs any way of getting away from it. It’s just a fact of realty.
