@Storm15660 @Burgess7281975 This could carry on for a bit, I feel we'll stay at an inpass. Many ecumenical councils had no issue with the 73 books, and they were closer to the source documents (realtive). The books in the Bible where chosen through many men guided by the Holy Spirit, not a lone person.
@Storm15660 @Burgess7281975 When He reads at Synagogues, he read directly from scrolls. When Christ calls scripture, it was from LXX and HB, meaning he was using it as source text also.. NOT only HB. Just like our Bible wasnt ratified until Trent, the HB was not closed canonically until the 1st C AD
@Storm15660 @Burgess7281975 I never claimed ecumenical councils, rather widely attended over the period of selection. However, Trent formally ratified the Canon as they did with many other things after Luther. This didn't mean they weren't already widely accepted and used.
@Storm15660 @Burgess7281975 Let me correct on an oversite which you seem to have... these were not 1 considered by Rome, this was a convening of Bishop from all over the Christian world, All were represented 2 These books were prayed upon and guided by the Holy Spirit 3. Luther decided on his own to remove
@Storm15660 @Burgess7281975 Of the approximately 300 Old Testament quotes in the New Testament, approximately 2/3 of them came from the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) which included the deuterocanonical books that the Protestants later removed.
@Jamrocker4ever @faithwillsaveu Actually, he said you are Kephas, Aramaic for rock, when it was translated to Greek it was changed to Petros, which is the correct male word of rock. Christ didn't say you are a pebble, he said you are Kephas (Rock).
@BookOfRevelatio@FlanaganOnFaith John 20:22-23 said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained,
Given to the Apostles, so men selected by God (not merely because they believe) to act in person of Christ (persona christi) to forgive sins.
@sweetbreeze1212 As other mentioned about the Sunday claim being a falsehood, couple other points ...1. The document uses the dates "CE" Christian Era, so not authoritative 2. Constantine got baptized on his deathbed so not "converted" and practiced sun worship
@Faithful_Cath@Dominion_Taker Acts 16:15. 16:33, 18:8, 1 Cor 1:16. All talk of entire households being baptized, would you think that means children? I would imagine so.
@faithwillsaveu Wow, curious what your end game is, trying to convince Catholics to the Protestent church. the word Pope was used when Rome legalized our religion(381) , it was a direct translation of the Greek Papa, which the name/ role was used from the First Centruy. Half truths to destroy!
@farmingandJesus Yes they are, however there are no reports of other leaving him, until he talked about his body being flesh, then they left.. He didn't call them back saying "I was speaking metaphorically, I mean.." , don't you "feel" the jews of that time, understood better than us (context)
@farmingandJesus Next in John 6, the actual Greek for "eat my Flesh" is more accurately translated to "Naw my flesh". Remember many deciples left him at that point (Jn 6:66) 🤔 so yes we believe it is the true flesh, why because he said it was, and he told us to eat it.. not symbol, or represents
@farmingandJesus Lizzie your missing a few things, the Jewish contextual meaning of remebrence, this is an aculization, the same as the passover meal, it is told as you are in the present, past, future at the same time. But we are witnessing is the one and only, the same sacrifice.
