81 | Who and why..... must be a reason? | Is 43:7 | flinkywood | 187471 | ||
Hank, A.E. Houseman and Calvin in the same post. Good to see you still firing so youthfully away in here. I've tried, but I can't find an exchange between DocTrinsograce and Emmaus on the subject of sola scriptura and sacred tradition. To support his point, Emmaus quoted John Chrysostum. I believe it was among his final postings. Any idea how I might locate it? I'll give you a crown, a pound and a ruby. Colin |

Hi, Doc, Because NewCovnenant claims the Lord is communicating through him, I think the problem is about authority. On the subject of authority, I'm still sussing out Tim's and Kalos posts to me over the Apocrypha. I hope to be back in that particular string soon. Colin |

84 | Why do they prey for the deads salvation | 1 Cor 3:15 | flinkywood | 143420 | ||
Kalos, I understand that Jesus and the apostles quoted widely from the Septuagint and that Paul also refered to aprocryphal books in his letters. This certainly legitmates these book, don't you agree? In light of this, and despite the decidedly non-Christian council of Jamnia proscribing certain books of the Septuagint as non-canonical, despite Jerome's early doubts (as Luther doubted James, Jude and Revelation), why were the apocrypha removed after so many centuries? Colin |

85 | Why do they prey for the deads salvation | 1 Cor 3:15 | flinkywood | 143327 | ||
Doc, If the apocrypha had always been considered canonical by everyone, as you say, then who decided to excise these books from the holy word of God? By whose authority were they cut out? And if these books weren’t considered “bad, per se” or “any more inspired than other books written by mere men”, then they were equally as inspired as the others and removing them was a sin. Could this apparent crime really have boiled down to 87 books being “heftier” than 66? What an incredible rationale! Imagine the Supreme Court lopping off an amendment to the Constitution for this reason. Orwell himself could never have imagined it! This particular history is sounds impossible to me. Where did you read this? Colin |

Doc, you wrote: "Roman Catholics added the apocryphal books to their canon thirty years after -- and in reaction to -- the rise of Protestantism." 1) What books constituted the Pre-Protestant Catholic bible? 2) Why were the Apocrypha added in reaction to Protestanism? 3) What was the lay-Catholic reaction to these additions?

Frank, Russel is a only a contemporary exponent of a heresy that began with Arius in the early fourth century. The positive thing about this particular heresy is that it helped to strenghten what it sought to destroy. Here's some fun reading on the subject: Ariushttp://www.catholic.com/library/History_of_the_Jehovah_Witnesesses.asp |

89 | Where does the Bible say only increase? | Prov 3:9 | flinkywood | 142631 | ||
T'oma, Again, his name was Abram, not yet Abraham. God gave Abram the victory; therefore, these were not "spoil" (a term found in no translation of Genesis 14) but "goods", goods that came from God as all good gifts do. You are incorrect to assert otherwise. I've answered your post as best I can. Colin |

T'oma, Your characterization of Abram (not Abraham) as having "stolen" what he tithed from is incorrect. Abram rescued Lot, his nephew, from his kidnappers, Cherdorlaomer and the “kings that were with him.” (Gen 14:5, 13-15); so the “goods” that Abram brought back from this God-delivered victory (v.20), were certainly not “stolen”. In fact, Abram even offers the king of Sodom the lion’s share of his goods, “for fear you would say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’” (v.23), which is the proper attitude we must have towards our earthly goods and God’s Kingdom. Thus Abram did tithe to Melchizedek from his God-given increase and not from something he had “stolen”. Notice also that Melchizedek brought out bread and wine (v.18), which prefigure the precious body and blood of Jesus Christ which our High Priest offers us in the New Covenant. Colin |

91 | Luther and Aquinas | Bible general Archive 2 | flinkywood | 142614 | ||
Doc, It was Augustine's, not Aquinas' quotation, so the question should read LUTHER AND AUGUSTINE. My confusion. Where did find Luther's quotation? Also, do you think Luther's doctrine of "election" softened in his later life, that is, did it shift Catholic-ward? Colin |

Tess, the Entire NT is a procalmation of the eternal, uncreated deity of Jesus Christ. That they had known God in the flesh, that He had died and risen again, is what transformed ordinary cowards into extraordinary heroes. The gospels' sole purpose, their reason for being, is to proclaim these incredible facts. The founder of JW, Taze Russell, who never finished high school, who promoted "miracle wheat", the "millenial bean" and a cancer "cure", has been dead since 1916. Christ, on the other hand, is alive.
