I missed this.

Are you seriously suggesting that any of the people you cite rejected release from torture, imprisonment and death because they knew they would be resurrected?

Sorry, but none elucidate the resurrection. They may, like David, has some spiritual, prophetic hope beyond hope that they will be returned to life if they do perish. But none confidently predict their own resurrection, much less reject release for it.

So once again, you’re stretching the Protestant canon to find something vaguely referential, whereas the Catholic/Greek/Apostolic records precisely what the New Testament refers to.

No I did not make that claim. I posted the Hebrews reference and said the historical context was derived from the names and periods mentioned at the beginning of the passage.

I am sorry dangus, the only one stretching data here is you. I have pointed out several times none of your claims can be substantiated from the Apocrypha. There was nothing “precisely” presented from the Apocrypha in your arguments.
