In my Bible, the books of Philemon and Obediah COMBINED take up a grand total of 4 pages. That includes the study notes. :) You're putting that up against 7 books, presumably most of which are much much longer?

Again, pages does not equate to importance! I said this earlier to you when I spoke about Mary... Is the book of Numbers that important to your theology? How about Chronicles, which Jesus NEVER mentions - at least in Scriptures? Yours is a dead-end street. The number of times I quote from the Deuterocanonicals to a PROTESTANT is not an indication of their unimportance. I happen to enjoy Tobit and the book of Wisdom. You might be better served if you took the time to read it, as it is one of the most profound books of the Old Testament. Since I do not claim that they are necessarily all wrong, I would treat them as non-authoritative, which may or may not be persuasive. I think Luther included them in a separate section in his Bible, so they probably can't be all bad. :)

I can quote from them more, if you like. It is a bit more difficult, however - because most Bible software does not include them. Thus, it is a bit harder to call up verses from them that apply to a given situation.

Regards

Oh, it's OK. I was just making an observation and you've made your case. I suppose if you really thought it was the only way to make a point you would just go ahead and use them. I just got my first Bible software this past Christmas and it sure is a lot easier than looking everything up by hand. :)
