Understand this. I am not anti-Catholic. I am a Protestant Christian. I recognize there are many believers in the Catholic faith. I believe the Catholic faith, has many errors in doctrine. I also believe the Protestant faith has many errors in doctrine. And I contend with them also. So, don't try and label me as anti-Catholic.BreadOfLife said:And living in denial of the truth is a pathetic debating tool . . .
As I educated you before - the Dead Sea Scrolls proved to the world that they existed back in the 1st century.
Whatever questions or doubts about the existence of the Septuagint were SQUASHED at Qumran with the discovery of the Scrolls. Oh, and the fact that they are quoted or referenced more than 150 times in the NT is pretty solid evidence of their existence as well.
Do me a favor - pull out your Protestant Bible and tell me where Paul got the idea about the "Armor of God."
Eph. 6:13-17 - The ENTIRE whole discussion of armor, helmet, breastplate, sword, shield follows Wis. 5:17-20.
The only ones left who deny the authenticity of the Deuterocanonical and the Septuagint are the ignorant and the anti-Catholic.
Which group do YOU fall into, hmmmm??
YOU need to stop reading all those moronic Jack Chick tracts . . .
You said the Dead Sea Scrolls proved 'they' existed. What are you calling 'they'?
That the supposed 'Septuagint' is quoted is an assumption on your part.
Paul got the idea of 'the armour of God', from God.
1972...Gulf of Tonkin...a sailor gave me two chick tracts called 'This is your life' and 'Holy Joe'. The Lord used those to bring me back to Jesus Christ. I don't get my doctrine from Chick Tracts, but I have a fondness for them.
Perhaps you can tell me. Where is the oldest copy of the Septuagint?
