This is partly true. However not necessarily the perfect way of explaining it. It's more along the lines that the church has always taught certain things so as long as your interpretation doesn't go out side of these set perimeters it's ok. Then when ever their is a big dispute a council is...

So would you say that there is a sort of accepted Tradition as to what books you consider the bible? That's fine if that how you want to do it. However there are some things you ought to know. The Jewish sect that chose the books of the Jewish cannon was the Pharisees a sect...

May I ask why you choose those 66 books? I'll agree with you the Pseudepigrapha (as you call them) are a little out there but the only reason I think that they aren't part of the bible is because the Church says so. Is your only reason because you don't like what the other books say or how...

Well I haven't read it obviously but from the stuff I read he writes a very biased book and his bibliography is missing German, Italian, US Archives, the Acts of the Nuremberg Trials and many other things. I've also read that he uses primarily secondary sources. I feel like I'm being a pain...

Do you know were he got this? I'm kind of looking for a first source here. Because after looking at a review of the second book it seems like a bit of a conspiracy theory nut-job kind of book. No offense but it is historical fact that Pope Pius XII save thousands of Jews from The death camps...

And this is why Sola Scriptora is illogical because without some sort of Tradition you can't know what books are in the bible.

I realize this my point was that before the council of Jamnia there was no standard Jewish Cannon so The cannon used by the Jews at the time of Jesus especially those outside of The Holy Land contained these books. The cannons of Jewish believers were different from sect to sect during Jesus’s...

May I ask where you source for this is? Not that I don't believe you but it isn't in the documents that where declared at the council. So, just because Constantine said it doesn’t mean the church taught it.

I'd just like to state that his was the same cannon that rejected all NT books and the same meeting that decided on this also expelled Christians from the synagogues.

I'm sorry I thought you were saying that the deuterocanon were written by medieval mystics. So I said this must be wrong because Polycarp lived in the first and second century. I guess I misunderstood you.

The Liturgy of the Word at a Catholic Mass is very similar to a Jewish service "And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the...

Now finally, all of you should be like-minded and sympathetic, should love believers, and be compassionate and humble, 1 Peter 3:8 I beg of Evodia and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord. Php 4:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that you be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one...

They all OT books of course they didn't know Jesus [/list]where? [/list]They are quoted in the bible in all of these places : Matt. 2:16 - Herod's decree of slaying innocent children was prophesied in Wis. 11:7 - slaying the holy innocents. Matt. 6:19-20 - Jesus' statement about...

They don't contradict the NT they contradict Luther’s interpretation of the NT and that isn't any more magic than demanding that a Demon leave a person in the name of Jesus

Ok I'd like to start out by clarifying something. The Deuterocanon is the seven books that are in the Catholic Bible that aren't in the Protestant ones. The Apocrypha are all the other books written about Christ in the first 3 centuries or that are claimed to be written in the first 3...

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but upon what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ alone founded his empire upon love, and at this hour millions of men would die for him. -NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

The martyr no longer desires anything for himself, not even the glory of martyrdom. -Father Christopher Leberton

It is a very great poverty to decide that a child must die that you might live as you wish. -Mother Teresa of Calcutta

It is called a sacrifice because Jewish sacrifices were meant to atone for sin. Jesus’ death atoned for all sin thus it is a sacrifice.

Re 20:14 And hell and death were cast into the pool of fire. This is the second death. That is the second death. Marsh and Brian where using Christian terminology here and you are using secular. In Christian theology the second death is always in reference to the Separation from God that...
