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

    Hi, Nathan. Thanks for posting that thoughtful message. To answer all of what you brought up in as concise a way as possible, the fact is that the Jews were divided right down the middle about those books both before and after Christ, and that's one reason (in addition to the content, etc.) for...

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

    Let me know how, when you find out. No Christian should be forced to put up with this kind of stuff that has shamed the forum.

    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's true enough, but it isn't that they weren't substantiated. It's that they cannot be substantiated. Agreed.. The average person thinks that anything which has a possible forerunner or precedent is "traditional." Of course, that doesn't hold true when it comes to the Christian religion, if...

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

    There was no such "tradition." There was a diversity of opinions about which books were inspired and which were not. There was no such "tradition," not even if we dress the notion up a bit with the word Catholic. Come back when you are ready to behave. 🥱

    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's nonsense. All you're saying there is that the average churchman who didn't own a copy of the Bible and wasn't a theologian "didn't segregate or distinguish" between the books in those days before the canon was even determined by the Church.

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    I never implied that God changed his mind. It was quite the opposite. And bearing false witness against the other people on this forum is a violation of one of the Ten Commandments, in case you thought the rest of us wouldn't notice. On the other hand, I don't know if that is one of the parts...

    House buying tips?

    It's understandable that you gave up, given all that you told us. However, there may be another way of looking at it IMHO. You are going to sell your present home, I assume. If so, it will probably be in the same situation with over-bidding and the waiving of inspections, etc. in order that...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    Having accused a number of us of being people who serve a false "idol," you are in no position to play the victim when it comes to name-calling now that your theory has fallen apart. You've been given relevant Scriptures many times here and by different posters. In response, you've taken the...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    It's that killing animals is not categorically unlawful. Do you see a lot of twisting in the answer you were just given? In other words, you affirm parts of Scripture that you think support your theory and you dismiss out of hand other parts of Scripture because they refute your theory. What...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    Nope. You may have included the word "innocent" in some of your posts and used an example of lions or bears that were "guilty" (which is nonsense)...but you also fielded questions and comments by taking the position that all killing is prohibited or that it depends on the situation of the...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    No, that is the title of your thread here. I quoted your question and also your answer when giving my reply. That isn't what your position has been through most of this thread, however.

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    I believe you did. To the question of the thread ("Is it lawful to kill animals?") you wrote this in the Original Post-- **font and color are mine for the purposes of emphasis. The words are a direct quote from you.

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    That's the wrong conclusion to be drawn from the realization that Scripture doesn't contradict itself. In truth, the conclusion is that what had been thought to be a contradiction was merely the reader's misreading or misunderstanding of Scripture. If it hasn't been discussed enough already...

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

    If the case for "deuterocanonical continuity is hard to dispute," as you wrote here ^, you may be a candidate for converting to one of the Eastern Orthodox churches which uses a Bible with more books than the Roman Catholic Church recognizes or--better still--the Ethiopian Church, which counts...

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

    Well, yes, but we all know this. The word Apocrypha, in context, refers to certain books that have been the subject of controversy for the whole of Christian history. But it's also true that other dubious writings existed and the word (apocrypha) would describe their nature...except that...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    If Scripture actually did contradict itself, it couldn't be divine revelation. Think about it.

    There's no way those particular statements are the product of cherry-picking! Sorry, but no.

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

    We've already discussed at length how that wording is misleading. If you still prefer to use it, what does that tell us? That said, I still recognize that you pulled back what you said before. What you wrote before was this (bolded type for emphasis)-- "The subject is in regards to the books...

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

    Don't you wish? And now let's turn to the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and/or the Book of Mormon. They "speak to us" from the past also, therefore we are obliged to believe that they are inspired works???? Since when?
