    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    @Josiah, your acerbic querulous tone almost always discourages me from replying to your long and often repeated posts. The churches that chose 73 books are the north African churches and the churches in Rome and many others who replied on the Roman churches for guidance.

    Cross references

    I have a Trinitarian Bible Society KJV - 66 books only, alas - with 200,000 cross references according to the publisher. But I noticed the absence of cross references to the deuterocanonical books which is a shame because any reader of the new testament would benefit from seeing which new...

    At one time, back in the 19th century, the Catholic Church regarded the Bible Societies as anti-Catholic. They were in fact quite anti-Catholic during part of the 19th Century and maybe beyond.

    Why did Jesus say it?

    Peter turned around and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved—the one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?" When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" Jesus answered him, "If I want him to live until I...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    What you wrote would have some weight had those who decided what books are canonical agreed with it but they did not. They chose 73 books as canonical. Those 73 books are the ones in Guttenberg's bible and in countless manuscript bibles and also, in whole or in part, in the ancient manuscripts...

    Afterlife doctrine and evangelism

    It is notoriously difficult to gain converts to Christ in cultures that have a well defined and attractive afterlife teaching in their religions. Examples are Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and some others. If this observation is correct then can Christians seriously propose that the Holy...

    No. I am asking you. Do you, @Josiah, know when Protestants defined their canon?

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    But it isn't the measuring stick. The Church's bibles, councils, and canons from councils are far closer to being a measuring stick.

    I am Jehovah, that is my name

    I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images. (Isa 42:8 ASV) Albert Barnes writes: This is an interesting passage. If taken by itself without any reference to the new testament it would be fairly consistent with a whole host of...

    Hebrews 1:1-3a

    In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    The 7 books in question along with Esther and Daniel (as in the LXX) are canonical and the word deuterocanon is a late introduction for the sake of conversation with those who rejected the 7 books and parts of Esther and Daniel. Deuterocanonical is a term coined in 1566 by the theologian Sixtus...

    "America" is now offensive to N and S America

    Those are offensive in different ways 😉 Niger is offensive when pronounced in a way that will offend. America is offensive when used incorrectly, to designate one nation in America (the USA is normally the one) rather than using the full name United States [of America] for example or an...
