    Reading for prayer.

    I have a collection of books that many would call devotional or liturgy of prayer. I use some Protestant books such as Daily Light from the Trinitarian Bible Society and My Utmost For His Highest which has Pentecostal roots and The Book of Common Prayer which is Anglican - the one I use is...

    Reading scripture - there is more than one way.

    Holy Scripture can be read for several different purposes and in several different ways. One can read for prayer - to listen for God's voice and to speak to God in return. This way of reading holy scripture may be the most life-changing of the different ways of reading that I intend to mention...

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

    I have no idea what motives the Rabbis had who helped Saint Jerome to learn Hebrew and may have helped Saint Jerome obtain Hebrew manuscripts from which to translate. Some do think that the Jewish people assisting Saint Jerome did intend to deal negatively with Christian tradition.

    World Why do you think Iran views America as “The Great Satan”?

    Presenting some of the reasons why Iran's government and a proportion of its people call the USA the Great Satan. In Hebrew, Satan is 'the adversary' and in Arabic Shaitan is an adjective meaning 'astray'. The USA being the great Satan is the USA as the great adversary and the great [one who...

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

    Deuterocanonical means "of the second canon" - Miriam Webster's dictionary gives "Definition of deuterocanonical: of, relating to, or constituting the books of Scripture contained in the Septuagint but not in the Hebrew canon". The definition from Josiah is not a received standard definition...

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

    Martin Luther is important for Protestants mainly because his theology has some of the main points that Protestantism still holds to as fundamental to their message. For Catholics and Orthodox, Martin Luther is Important mainly for the Protestant political and religious revolt that he helped to...

    World Why do you think Iran views America as “The Great Satan”?

    Excellent. I am not worried either. Iran is a long way away and its people - 84 million of them - are entitled to dislike the USA if they want to. But it is likely that it is the government of Iran that arranges the propaganda in Iran about the USA.

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

    No officially defined canon for the holy scriptures existed until the church defined one. But an informal canon existed in the manuscripts' contents. The Churches commissioned people to create such manuscripts or wealthy patrons did so and in either case, this informal canon which was derived...

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

    I much prefer a 73 book bible over a 66 book one. But I do own several 66 book bibles, things like the NKJV and NIV, both of which are not available with a full 73 book canon. But if Protestants want 66 book bibles that's fine with me. At least they have some of the bible to read and that can...

    TOBIT -by NathanH83

    Pilgrim's Progress is a nice work of fiction. Some say Tobit is also a work of God-inspired fiction. But Protestants can do whatever they please with their bibles - printed or electronic. Catholics will keep the faith that was delivered to them and retain a 73 book canon for sacred scripture.

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

    That isn't quite right. questioning the use of the deuterocanon for teaching doctrine was debated but inclusion in the bible was the norm. Catholic bibles both before and after the Protestant revolt contained 73 books. Interestingly Protestant bibles also contained more than 66 books after the...

    Protestants can do whatever they like with the 66 books that they acknowledge and the others that they call apocryphal. That is a matter for them. Catholics have a 73 book canon of scripture that is well defined and has roots back to early Christian times. In the Catholic church debate and...
