The funniest part about the ridiculously idiotic anti-Israel people is how they actually think they're smarter than everyone else and solved the puzzle while they repeat obvious foreign propaganda slop designed to trick low-IQ peasants. Lol
@rickbrennanjr Claudius of Turin in the 9th century opposed the changing doctrine of that time.
Waldenses also opposed the developing doctrine of their time in the 12th century.
@tucci777@WesleyLHuff That list is a forgery from the 6th century.
That council was about the 3rd canon, after the Arians finally started to lose churches.
In other words, Roman imperial politics.
People still going on about this. Let me quote the Complutensian polyglot's preface in its own words: "Libri extra canonem, quos Ecclesia potius ad aedificationem populi quam ad auctoritatem ecclesiasticorum dogmatum confirmandam recepit..."
Translation: "The books outside the canon, which the Church has received for the edification of the faithful rather than for the substantiation of ecclesiastical doctrines, are placed outside this order and are marked separately." (translation mine, emphasis added by me).
Ximenes's language is echoing the distinction made centuries earlier by Jerome (Ximenes was a huge Jerome fan), who likewise argued that what was labelled as Deuterocanonical later were useful for instruction but not inspired for establishing doctrine. Although the preface of the Polyglot was likely drafted by one of the project's scholars (such as Diego Lopez de Zuniga or another member of the editorial team), it was published under Ximenes's patronage and has historically been taken as expressing the editorial policy he approved.
It's been noted for centuries that the phrase "received for the edification of the faithful rather than for the substantiation of ecclesiastical doctrines" is difficult to reconcile with the later definition of the Council of Trent (1546), which declared the Deuterocanonical books to be canonical Scripture in the same sense as the protocanonical books.
@NegedeYehuda@WesleyLHuff Enoch offers a classic case of a Second Temple Jewish composition whose textual history spans Aramaic originals, Greek translation(s), and a complete Ethiopic tradition that is both invaluable and late.
There is no “one Book of Enoch” as it was compiled from 3rd BCE to 1st BCE
@EdOEwing1@WesleyLHuff He had permission to begin his work and had to wait for final approval upon completion. That allowed Erasmus to finish and produce his Novum Instrumentum, which had him scared of the Inquisition because of the Johannine Comma he found not to be in the MSS
