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

    Nothing? Nothing at all? It shows how the people of that time were aware that there were eye salves that people anointed their eyes with to cure certain types of blindness. If that’s not strangely and oddly similar to the exact thing Tobit talks about, then I don’t know what is. Again, you’re...

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

    You see, this is exactly what I mean. You’re not listening. You’re unwilling to understand. Maccabees provides historical information necessary for understanding Daniel’s prophecies. Tobit provides the story that Hebrews 13:2 was referencing. 2 Maccabees 7 provides the story that Hebrews 11:35...

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

    Anyway, it’s something to think about. The book of Revelation does provide at least some verification for this eye remedy from the book of Tobit.

    Why does Eastern Orthodox Church accept 3 Maccabees and Catholic doesn’t?

    Is there something special in 3 Maccabees?

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

    You totally just missed my point. Obviously people aren’t claiming those little pocket Bibles to be complete. But they ARE claiming Protestant Bibles to be complete. But they’re not. And to say that they’re not lacking anything is not true. I’ve already explained why (prophecies in Daniel...

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

    You know, I have one of these pocket Bibles. It has only the New Testament and Psalms and Proverbs. It doesn’t have most of the Old Testament. Does this Bible hinder me from studying about Christ? Uh, well, it has the New Testament. Of course I can use it to study about Christ. But it’s still...

    Modern PROTESTANT Bibles are missing them. Why do you get so hung up on minor details? Obviously I’m not saying that modern Catholic Bibles are missing them. I specifically said that modern Protestant Bibles are missing these books, when the Protestant Bibles from the Reformation included...

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

    I believe every book of the Bible. I’m not hung up on books that are truly apocryphal. I’m hung up on the real books of the Bible that have been ripped out.

    The prayer of Manasseh is a tiny little detail. It’s barely even a chapter, let alone a book. The same basic set of books in the KJV apocrypha are in the Geneva Bible. All the Protestant Bible had those books in that section. Modern Bibles are missing them. Thus, they were taken out. You’re...

    What fewer books does the Geneva Bible not have that be King James does? You’re talking about insignificant, minor details. The same basic set of books is the same. What? Is the Prayer of Manasseh missing or some small, insignificant thing like that?

    It’s not just the King James. It’s also the Geneva, Bishop’s, Coverdale, and all the other Bibles from the Protestant Reformation. They all included that Apocryphal section with the same books. It’s not just the King James, and it’s not just one denomination. How many Christians in early...

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

    You better go home and rip the book of Revelation out of your Bible. It talks about magical potions. Magic is evil.

    You’ve repeated yourself like 5 or 6 times that I won’t identify which books were taken out. But I have. All you have to do is look at the apocryphal section of the King James Bible when it was first printed in 1611. Those are the books that were taken out. Why do I know that? Because the...

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

    Because Bible teachers have told me that when a book says that magical potions can heal blindness, then it’s endorsing witchcraft and sorcery, and therefore the book ought to be ripped out of the Bible and thrown into the trash. I’m just going by the logic Bible teachers follow. Tobit says...

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

    Of course it’s talking about spiritual blindness….but it’s using things in the real physical world. It’s talking about spiritual poverty. But there really is such a thing as gold in the world It’s talking about spiritual nakedness. But there really is such a thing as clothes in the world...

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

    It’s not a harsh claim against God. It just means that Revelation doesn’t belong in the Bible. The council of Laodicea declared it so. Luther also didn’t want it included. Clearly proof that Revelation doesn’t belong.

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

    But is there really such a thing as a medicine that can anoint the eyes and heal blindness? If not, then why would it reference something that doesn’t exist in the real world?

    So, what “dots” did I mistakenly connect? 1. Every copy of the Septuagint found, both Greek and Latin, contain at least some of these “apocrypha” books. 2. Many church leaders believed these books to be scripture, and said so in their church councils. 3. Many church fathers quoted them and...

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

    You say you are rich. You think you have become wealthy and don’t need anything. But you don’t know that you are really miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I advise you to buy gold from me—gold made pure in fire. Then you will be rich. I tell you this: Buy clothes that are white. Then...

    So, if the Talmud really is from the 6th century AD (which you’ve provided no evidence for) then why were the Jewish rabbinic authorities quoting from Sirach as scripture?
