    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    The entire video is even more compelling ;)

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    I read your article through and through, the video with the 20:00 timestamp is the point I am trying to make that something is afoot when concerning why the Septuagint has been lessoned in favor of the later Masoretic, it sums up the whole of the video pretty quickly and I myself researched the...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    If the article were to ask those Jews alive back then I'm sure they would have gotten a different answer. Jews today and since the times of the Apostles separate themselves from Christianity, of course they are going to defend themselves on why their ancestors decided to rip out books that were...

    When they start bashing other churches, that's when I left my last church.

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    These are the same Jews that threw out the NT because it was uninspired and blasphemous because Christ rebuked them, I could care less with what the Talmudic Jews opinion on why these books do not pertain to them. They most likely didn't like Maccabees because they were marching to battle on the...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    Exactly. The problem with not accepting them as part of the original OT canon, and rather calling them books of "some" value but less than scripture is... well let's be honest, they are completely ignored, the churches are doing us no favors by belittling these books that were always accepted...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    Well they are wrong. When I said "all" I was referring to those who believe "is" means "is" but have a different idea on how. The thing is we don't know "how". From my understanding Catholics believe that the bread and wine become the physical Body of Christ while Lutherans might say it becomes...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    The promise is also to their generation (children) and the covenant is blessed upon them that follow in their footsteps, this also means that when they having been raised to maturity (without ignorance) must repent and be baptised (buried in Christ) likewise to cover their own children and so...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    Jesus ascended into Heaven in a supernatural body, he can transcend, appear and vanish, this is accounted for in the 40 days after the resurrection and before his ascension. I believe that since we accept that we make up the spiritual and physical Body of Christ on Earth as in Heaven (because we...

    The false gospel of grace

    but Jesus followed all of the commandments perfectly and was killed for it, how can you live in a system that if you disobey a commandment the whole congregation stones you to death and if you obey every commandment the congregation finds an indirect manner to have you killed anyway? Do you not...

    Genesis 2:4 ONE DAY of creation

    This is from a post I made in another thread that I believe is worthy of discussion. --------------------------- These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, Genesis 2:4 That verse comes right...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    So these books that were "ordered" to be read contained conversations with God, why would they allow blasphemy to be ordered if it weren't divine? The reason you and others here dont care for them is because the jews didn't care for them and through the masoretic text they omitted them....it's...

    U.S. Episcopal Church Shrinking Over Same-Sex Marriage

    I remember looking at wikipedia about this church not too long ago about how they are tolerant on gay marriage, found it very odd

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    The first Christians DID have this in their canon, Josephus even mentions them and so do the early Church fathers, it was dropped by jewish scribes later but when the masoretic text came out all of a sudden they were gone when they were clearly in the Septuagint before which were translated from...

    Did Jesus approve of Usury in Luke 19?

    Seems like the lender is trying to hold on to his "savings" in virtue of purchasing a kingdom while the others give up all that they have without having virtue of gaining a kingdom but are happy to give it up.

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    What about 2nd Esdras? It seems to refer directly to the Septuagint yet 2nd Esdras is not included in the Septuagint yet again protestants and non protestants at the time and even now (RCC AND EOC) include it as Apocryphal.. here's where it gets interesting.. "Make public the twenty-four books...

    The Apocrypha: Does it belong in the Bible?

    Scribes canonized them, that is a Jewish rabbinic sect! Not just anything can be added to canon, a scribe must bathe before writing and everytime the title of GOD was written they had to bathe prior to writing it again and again and again for each time. They took these books just as seriously as...
