Sooooooo, I see by your
carpet-bombing of
irrelevant videos - you were completely
UNABLE to address the points I made about the
OT Canon of Scripture that you
Protestants adhere to
vs. the
Catholic OT Canon of Scripture that I laid out in post
#195 and post
#208.
In case you
forgot - or you simply
can't count - here is that information
again for your edification . . .
Time for a
HISTORY lesson . . .
This is how you
Protestants arrived at your
current Canon of the Old Testament.
The
OPEN 1st century Jewish Canon
included the
7 Deuterocanonical Books that you now reject.
These Books are:
Wisdom Sirach
Judith Tobit
Baruch I & II Maccabees
Portions or
Daniel and
Esther
This is the Canon of Scripture that
Jesus and the
NT writers studied from. We
KNOW that they were part of the
OPEN Jewish Canon of the 1st century because they are
alluded to and
quoted some
200 times in the
New Testament. Some
glaring examples are:
- Eph. 6:13-17 – The entire discussion of armor, helmet, breastplate, sword, shield follows Wis. 5:17-20.
- Heb 11:35 - Paul talks about the martyrdom of the mother and her sons described in 2 Macc. 7:1-42.
- Matt. 7:12 - Jesus' golden rule "do unto others" is the converse of Tobit 4:15 - what you hate, do not do to others.
Sometime around the year
70 AD, Jerusalem was sacked by the Romans during a
Jewish uprising and the
Temple was
destroyed. After this – Jewish Temple sacrifices came to a
halt and
rabbinical schools replaced the
Pharisaical leadership.
Now,
pay attention because
here's where it gets
ugly . . .
Around
30 AD, during the
2nd Jewish uprising, there was a Jewish Rabbinical school in
Jamnia.
One of the main Rabbis – a man named
Akiva, declared
TWO things:
a. A man named Simon Bar Kokhba was the "real" messiah. He turned out to be a false messiah and Akiva was a false prophet.
b. The Deuterocanonical Books needed to be REMOVED from the OPEN Canon - and the canon closed.
The reason for this was that was because of the
“Hellenistic” influence it had on the
Diaspora (Dispersed Jews).
SO - you
Protestants adhere to a
POST-Christ,
POST-Temple OT Canon that was determined by a
FALSE Prophet who declared a
FALSE Christ.
Here's the
worst part: the
ONLY reason
your Protestant Fathers chose to do this was to
further-divorce themselves from the
Catholic Church – who had it
RIGHT all along!
ANYBODY who wants to look this up and
challenge me -
PLEASE do so because
@CoreIssue has
failed . . .
