The only "bunk" being slept in here is the one you continue to try to throw the sheet over! You've been corrected dozens of times yet never seem to learn the difference. Let's try again...
The Septuagint was an Alexandrian TRANSLATION into Greek of the Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures. Along the way, other writings were added that either were NOT part of Hebrew Scriptures - but were seen as "historical" in nature and relevant to the Jewish people in Greek speaking areas - or were ALREADY written in Greek and didn't need to be translated. There were numerous versions of the Septuagint and they vary as to which books are in them and which are not a part. Nevertheless - and this is the MEAT of the issue, Rash - the Septuagint was NEVER viewed as a "canon" by ANYONE!
One important point you just never seem to address even when you are reminded over and over is that, just because a book was included in the Septuagint, was NO proof that it was Divinely-inspired Scripture. Remember I told you this before? There are FIFTEEN (15) extra-canonical books in the Septuagint, yet the Roman Catholic church only picked SEVEN (7) of them to be in the official RCC canon. So the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH threw "Scripture" in the garbage according to your logic, not Luther. Will you address these points for once or will they be conveniently ignored so that ALL non-Catholic Christians can be condemned in one fell swoop on a man who died five hundred years ago who wasn't even anyone's pope? What'll it be???
Very interesting...informative as well...thank you.
The truth of that post should concern all Catholics.
It is far easier to make Luther a punching bag than to address actual facts.
Which extra-canonical books are the eight which you say are excluded from the Catholic Canon? Are Maccabees 3 and 4 two of them? Respectful question asking that you share your knowledge. God bless you and yours!
