    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    If anyone is using circular reasoning, it’s you. Your whole entire belief is based upon what the unbelieving rabbis today say. You just assume that these people who reject Christ are actually telling you the truth. And you assume that all these early church councils who accepted Christ are all...

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    My reason is that the Septuagint included it in the centuries before Christ. The Jews put it in their Greek translation. That’s the only logical explanation as to why the early churches accepted it.

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    The Jews who lived before the time of Christ had 1 Maccabees in Hebrew and included in the Hebrew Bible. That’s why it was included in the Greek translation used by Jews, and later accepted by Christians. It was only after 90 AD at the council of Jamnia (after the start of Christianity) that...

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    Maccabees is connected to Hanukkah just as much as Esther is connected to Purim. The Jews read Esther on Purim, and they read Maccabees on Hanukkah. Do you really think that the Rugrats holiday special is the primary source text for Hanukkah? Give me a break. You know these are really lame...

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    There was a wedding that took place in Tobit. But I don’t remember a wedding taking place in Maccabees. If there was, then provide chapter and verse and explain what your point is. Also, how is it sinful to celebrate Hanukkah? Where does it say the Maccabees got tattoos? People have been...

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    Explain what? There was a wedding that took place in Maccabees? Don’t just say you can explain it and then not explain it. If there’s something you’re trying to say then just say it.

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    From now on I’m blocking you and silencing your comments. You’re comments are nonsensical and unrelated to the topic at hand. You’re wasting my time. Goodbye. [emoji112]

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    Again, you’re not making sense. Specify the chapter and verse in Maccabees that talks about this wedding. If you can’t, then you’re just talking gibberish. You’re wasting people’s time.

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    You’re not making sense. Nobody here is talking about a wedding. You’re wasting people’s time. If you have nothing sensible to say, then please don’t bother responding.

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    If you’re going to make the claim that the Maccabees were lawless (even though they were the only ones standing up for righteousness at the time), then you need to back up your claim with evidence. Making claims without explaining your evidence is wasting everybody’s time.

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    Why is it lawless? I thought that the Maccabees were defeating the lawless Greeks and putting the temple back in order. I don’t understand. What’s lawless about it?

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    Where does the book of Maccabees say that they tattooed themselves? Chapter and verse please? You’ve proven nothing until you show the verse that says they got tattoos. I’ve read Maccabees, and I don’t remember reading anything about tattoos.

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    There is not one single early church council that declared the gospel of Judas to be divine canonical scripture. But there are multiple early church councils that declared 1 and 2 Maccabees to be divine canonical scripture. You’re not even making any sense.

    What does that mean? Are you suggesting the Maccabees gave themselves tattoos in honor of the dead? Where is that written?

    Did Jesus celebrate the Holiday that commemorates the Maccabees?

    What is sinful about the holiday? Judas Maccabee purified the temple that the Greeks defiled and rededicated it to the Lord. How is that sinful? And it never says that Jesus refused to celebrate it. Otherwise he would have refused to go, just like when he told his brothers that he refused to go...
