@snuffybodacious@CatholicDrip___ Nope, the Catholics were lazy and used diaspora Jews their translations instead of Judean Jews their Hebrew books.
The apostles were Judean Jews, they were not using the Greek Septuagint since their rabbis were using the Hebrew books.
The scriptures predate Catholicism.
@runaurufu@Eryss33VT@eurocompel There's a difference between thinking and having brainwaves
If you're in a coma then you have brainwaves/activity, but usually you're not thinking, just like when you're under anesthesia you stop thinking while your brain stays functional
Do you stop being human under anesthesia?
@CatholicDrip___ Please tell me what the Catholic Church exactly trained you with.. oh that's right, papism, prayers to saints and other non-biblical doctrines that have no foundation in the apostolic church..
@snuffybodacious@CatholicDrip___ They're not, early Christians were already debating if the deuterocanonical books belong in the OT, like for example Saint Jerome that translated it to Latin.
Catholics were just lazy and used the diaspora Jews' Septuagint instead of using the books that were used in Israel.
@UcheMaryOkoli@sifupolk777 If that's true then she was not sinless, since she had to follow Jewish law and therefore follow the marital rights in her marriage with Joseph.
So which is it, forever sinless or forever virgin?
@UcheMaryOkoli The Catholic paradox:
If Mary was sinless then she would have consummated her marriage to Joseph through marital rights (Halakha), which most likely would result in children.
If Mary stayed a virgin after the birth of Jesus then she sinned for not fulfilling her marital rights.
@Glennalbert@BillArnoldTeach@PracticalTheolo What do you think the Jews had at the time of Jesus? they didn't have a canon. They had the Torah and the Nevi'im (prophets), but the Ketuvim (which includes books like Psalms) varied across regions. In your own words they followed a library of ancient documents.
@Glennalbert@BillArnoldTeach@PracticalTheolo Guided by the Holy Spirit yes.. RCC's binding authority NOPE..
Rome doesn't have any authority over scripture or over Christianity.
@Glennalbert@BillArnoldTeach@PracticalTheolo Like Acts of Peter where they took the upside down crucifixion of Peter in Rome from, despite there not being any reliable source for these events. Obviously that's just because it supports their narrative..
@Glennalbert@BillArnoldTeach@PracticalTheolo Speaking of pseudepigraphal or apocryphal texts, did you know that the RCC has church history that originated in texts that they themselves call heretical?
@Glennalbert@BillArnoldTeach@PracticalTheolo As for the Sunday Lord's Day, this is scriptural, the apostles broke bread on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7), which is Sunday on a Jewish calendar. Also the offerings were brought on the first day of the week (1 Corinthians 16:2)
@Glennalbert@BillArnoldTeach@PracticalTheolo Jesus declared: "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
Coming to Jesus is the bread/flesh, believing in Jesus is the wine/blood.
