    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    We know because Jews and early Christians accepted them as scripture, it was considered inspired so how can you just take books away from canon? The Greek Septuagint was translated from an earlier canon Hebrew text by Jews for Jews who came back from babylonian exile and had lost their hebrew...

    3 years into Trump's Presidency and there is no nuclear war!

    Yeah same here, one of the main reasons I voted for Trump was so that she doesn't make it in office. I researched both of them before voting and I found her constantly lying and dodging questions, also deleting all of those e-mails and ridiculing her husbands rape victims and so on... just...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    btw I said never said advice, I said that the book of Maccabees does not 'advise' prayers for the dead to get out of purgatory

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    I didn't say that, I just feel it's one of the reasons protestants don't want to touch it because it preaches purgatory which it doesn't. I've already shown that Jesus read the original Hebrew text that the septuagint was copied from as well does Stephen the martyr and they both don't agree with...

    3 years into Trump's Presidency and there is no nuclear war!

    There was a lot of boohooing also that Hillary should have been the first female president and she really deserved it... problem with that logic is just because she ran as a women does not mean that she deserves it! I believe we will someday have a female president but we shouldn't vote for the...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    Context says a lot and instead of ignoring this book Protestants should it embrace as scripture, they could even use it to point out to Catholics why the book does NOT imply purgatory or advise prayers for the dead to get them out of purgatory..

    The Soul Survives Death

    So where do the dead in Christ go before the resurrection? And how can they "rise" from Heaven? Jesus will descend to Earth and raise the dead in Christ and gather them first. Answer is they wait with joy in Abrahams bosom/paradise

    The Soul Survives Death

    So when we die we skip the resurrection and go straight to Heaven? What about those righteous that died prior to Jesus atonement? Did they skip the resurrection? They are in paradise and when Jesus died for 3 days and went to hades did he not comfort the thief and say "And Jesus said unto him...

    Is Veneration of the Saints something that is allowed by God?

    I agree with that, from what I see many of the members of my local catholic church do not agree nor do the priests really care for it but they do venerate past christian saints, I have seen videos of people offering up gifts to statues which is very "too superstitious" and not to be rude or...

    Is Veneration of the Saints something that is allowed by God?

    I agree, it's a misconception that Catholics are worshiping or venerating a block of stone, we look at our crosses not to venerate two crossing sticks. The Pentecostal church I attended use to bash the Catholic churches with the same misconception, even the Trinity because as they put it "we do...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    Very true, and the NT only quotes from four of the OT books, so when someone says "but Jesus nor the apostles ever quoted from the apocrypha" then the same could be said to the majority of OT books. Not only do they quote from the Septuagint but they quote it verbatim compared to the later...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    There is a double standard when it comes to "difficult passages", some of these in the OT -if they were in the apocrypha, could easily have been dismissed because the passages are strange or difficult. For instance 1rst Samuel the witch of Endor brings up Samuel from the dead, if that were in...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    If they contain teachings that don't line up with Gods attributes and go against His teachings.. why don't we toss them into the fire for good riddance along side the Quran? The Quran may have some historical truths but since it is incompatible with Christ's Gospel it should be discouraged...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    I just looked it up and the nearest one is 44 miles away. So, MennoSota, what is your view on books that were once accepted as part of scripture by early Christians such as Maccabees but are now rejected and/or ignored? Secular or inspired? :)

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    I would love to have a look around an EOC church and listen to their sermon, not too popular here in the states I gather, at least not where I live.

    5 Causes of the Protestant Reformation (besides indulgences)

    I would say that they (the papacy) were "whoring" with the world in general and sooner or later a figure would start questioning them and put them in their proper place. Is this what they mean my nationalism? Becoming too involved with world politics and economics?

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    Albion did you ever find the opportunity to watch the video clip I posted? Could you share your thoughts on it? (don't let the video title throw you off, Nathan is a master at "fishing" youtubers, over a million views so far!...must be something to it)

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    "And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly." John 10:22-24
