"The only explanation behind this continued absurd self-defeating logic is a hatred towards the Church. They will commit intellectual suicide so as to "prove" the Church was WRONG!"

Let's see if we can reduce this whole problem to a simple mathematical formula.

Septuagint (O.T. + Apocrypha) + N.T. = Church
Septuagint - Apocrypha + N.T. = non Church (hatred towards the Church)
Therefore: Apocrypha = Church

LOL!!! It seems to me the "Church" is made up of anything that ISN'T considered the word of God. Wouldn't it have been better to express it as:

Church = Everyone's writings - Protestant scriptures

Therefore: Apocrypha = Church

lol

Marysecretary, You MUST obey the apocrypha!

[xzins]

Septuagint (O.T. + Apocrypha) + N.T. = Church Septuagint - Apocrypha + N.T. = non Church (hatred towards the Church) Therefore: Apocrypha = Church

Thusly (mathematicians are allowed to say that)

S (OT + A) + NT = C
SOT + A + NT = C
SOT + NT = C-A
(SOT + NT)/T = (C-A)/T
SO+N=(C-A)/T

So, therefore, this should be proof to all sceptics that your son is really a cat.

And since a duck is a witch or a block of wood, I think we have something irrefutable going on here.

Trying to win sympathy for your argument? How sad.

By taking the absurd notion that "the Jews said so" as your argument for tossing out the Deuterocanonicals and STICKING TO IT is merely obstinate behavior that can only be explained by refusal to admit one is wrong. When one steadfastly holds to an obviously fatal logical conclusion in the face of evidence that destroys their OWN foundation, I can only conclude that you are willing to believe anything if it places some cloud of doubt over the Church. Even if that "anything" destroys the very ground you stand upon...

If you would step back from your hatred for a second, you would see that your defense "the Jews said so" destroys the basis for your very belief that Jesus has risen and is the Messiah. Even when this is pointed out to you, will you continue with this silly argument? It appears that you will - but now, you use this "formula" that is supposed to cover up your inadequate logic?

Sorry. Just admit your wrong, that the Jewish decision at Jamnia is worthless regarding the Scriptures in the Christian eyes, and move on. This continued defense of "the Jews said so" is unworthy of further discussion.

You are quoting the wrong guy, BD. try again. But i happen to agree with jo klus 100%.

Your math is fuzzy. The side that denies "deutoerocanonical' books doe snot use Septuagint.
