    Some thoughts about the canon of the Old Testament.

    Some thoughts on the canon of the Old Testament as it is cited, quoted, and alluded to in the new testament. The protocanonical books and the New Testament The absence of any citations from Esther, Ecclesiastes, and Canticles may be reasonably explained by their unsuitability for New Testament...

    Some thoughts about the canon of the Old Testament.

    Jude does quote from a non-canonical book. That's a fact. Maybe the author of Jude thought it was canonical and maybe he thought the quote was apt and didn't care if it came from a canonical source or not. Nevertheless the church is (and always was) competent to decide the canon of the bible for...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    This is not an apologetics thread Josiah. It was never an apologetics thread. The first post in the thread stated that the Protestant had a lively faith in God and knew the gospel. Do you think that such a person does not know that Jesus Christ is central to Christianity? The choice of red...

    Why become a Catholic if you are a Protestant?

    Becoming a Catholic is a challenging process for adults. One's faith is brought to the light and examined and a guided set of steps are undertaken to help both the person interested in becoming a Catholic and the catechist and sponsors in the Parish discern what is involved and what motives are...

    Atheism ...

    I agree with assessment of the claim that atheism is dogmatic insistence that no god(s) exist. That definition is absurd.

    Unforgiveable sin.

    The author/authors and editor/editors of the gospel according to saint Matthew appear to have a plan and a purpose for the arrangement of material in their book and it may be that the incident and explanations of it in Matthew twelve are deliberate both in wording and in arrangement. That is...

    Some thoughts about the canon of the Old Testament.

    As interesting as Josiah's opinions are it would be more interesting to see some reply that addresses the historical information included in the first post.

    Why is he called the HOLY Spirit?

    I do not think that Wisdom 1:5 is the earliest use of "Holy Spirit" and if you count "Spirit of Holiness" as equivalent (I am not sure that it is equivalent) then the title may go back as far as Moses.

    Why is he called the HOLY Spirit?

    Yes, it is in my bibles it is in Catholic and Orthodox bibles and in some Anglican and Lutheran bibles (but as "apocrypha" for Anglicans and Lutherans). I wasn't thinking so much about the sin. I was thinking about Jesus calling the Spirit "the Holy Spirit" where the use of the word "holy"...

    Why is he called the HOLY Spirit?

    I am not sure if Wisdom 1:5 is the first mention of the Holy Spirit as "the holy spirit" but if it is it may be significant that what the passage says is For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when...

    Why is he called the HOLY Spirit?

    I had a look at Genesis 1:5 and it says "Ge 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." The passage you quoted appears to be in Wisdom of Solomon 1:5 “For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from...
