Where did we get The Bible? - A IN-DEPTH STUDY

[Titus]

Nice try . . .

I'm not trying to convince you.
Unfortunately for you nothing will change your blind devotion to the Roman papacy.
Jeremiah 7:16,
- as for you do not pray for these people do not offer a cry of lamentation for them and do not intercede with Me, for I will not listen

 

[Titus]

The Jews never gleaned information from pagan sources to formulate their doctrines. Anything pagan would have been considered unclean.
If you have an example - please present it . . .

Being the Son of God – Jesus would have absolutely not done this. The fact that there are similar beliefs among different religions simply shows that things like the Golden Rule are moral laws.

Just as everyone know that it is wrong to murder – and they didn’t have to READ it somewhere.
Nice try . . .

How many non- catholics have you converted to your religion with your work on here?

And, apparently – nothing will make YOU understand the Scriptures in their proper context.

As for me – I will remain steadfast to Christ and His Church,

God does the converting. I’m just here to defend His Word and His Church.

I’m here to expose lies from anti-Catholics and to set the record straight . . .

You have given zero Scriptural evidence the apocrypha is Inspired. Your church even denies some of its books are inspired.

It's hard for me to believe you really believe what you are debating.
Its possible you are only working to gain members for your theocracy.

The burden of proof is on you.
You made the claim the apocrypha is Inspired.

The apocrypha was written during the intertestamental period.
This is the period of time between the end of the old testament Malachi and the beginning of the New testament.

Not one Jewish prophet prophecied during this time period.
How is it that the apocrypha is Inspired when no prophets prophecied during the time of its writing.

And as I stated before – the 1st century canon was not only fluid – there was no single approved canon.

- Samaritans and Sadducees accepted the Law (Torah) – but NOT the Prophets (Nevi'im) and Writings (Ketuvim):
- The Pharisees accepted all three.

- Other Jews used the Greek Septuagint that included the 7 Deuterocanonical Books.

- Still, other Jews accepted the Hebrew version of the Septuagint.

- Ethiopian Jews use the SAME canon as the Catholic Church to this day.

- Early Christians also used the SAME Canon.

And, as I already showed – Jesus and the Apostles studied from and referenced the Deuterocanonicals in the NT, as we see in 2 more examples:

1 Tim. 6:15 and Rev. 17:14, Rev. 19:16 – description of our Lord as King of kings is taken from 2 Macc. 13:4.

Rev. 21:19 – the description of the new Jerusalem with precious stones is prophesied in Tobit 13:17.

This is a stupid argument.

You can’t provide Scriptural evidence for MOST Books of the Bible.
Tell me – how would YOU go about doing that?

It's hard for me to believe you really believe what you are debating.

Really??
Name ONE . . .

Its possible you are only working to gain members for your theocracy.

My theocracy?
Do you even know what a theocracy is??

No – I do not have my own country and I am NOT the head of any government . . .
