Ah HA, I see! I also read last night that the actual "Hebrew Canon" was put together after the Christian one. I found that kinda curious. Prior to our Bible, they were only interested in a scroll of The Law. Macabees (apochryphal) tells of the fella who gathered up all the writings he could find. Kings, laws, letters. Again written in Greek. The Hebrews rejected all Greek writings because they didn't see the Gentiles as people of God. No possible way he would send the Holy Spirit unto them! NIV Acts 10 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, 47 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days. The entire New Testament is written in Greek. Of course the Hebrews, not believing in Jesus, reject all the New Testament as well. Hmmmmm. |

Lisa The Jewish cannon was completed well before the Christian cannon. The Jewish cannon was formed and used before the writing of the Septuagint which was written about 70 years before Jesus’ birth. The Septuagint is the canonical Hebrew text translated into Koine Greek. The fact that the Septuagint existed at the time of Jesus leads many to believe Jesus may have actually read from it. In any case He being God would have been aware of Septuagint and surely would have said “folks you missing some verses in Daniel or you need to include the Maccabees etc.” Further “The Dead Sea Scrolls” provide proof that the copies of the Septuagint we have found and what existed at the time of Christ are in fact virtual copies of each other. I feel certain the Old Testament was complete and intact and needed no other additions or subtractions just by this fact. EdB |
