“Thanks for posting and taking the flames. People who haven’t actually read the Bible are not ready for the extra material. First one has to understand the Salvation Plan specified in the Tanauck . . . “

You’re very welcome.

Don’t know about the Nazarine writings, but I do have to laugh at Nazarines who reject anything not in the 4 corners of the Bible -— notably because the entire concept of heaven and eternal life they harp on is promised in the Talmud and not the Tanukah.

This was actually the major dispute between the Sadducee’s (who rejected the oral law) and the Pharisees.

Yes, but remember: Everyone had to have something to do to occupy the first 6000 years of the Salvation Plan. I am so thankful to be here at the end!

Actually, many Christian themes -- personal immortality, praying for the dead, angels as intermediaries between Earth and Heaven, saints praying for us in heaven, the prominent eternal-life emphasis in the NT --- draw heavily on the seven Deuterocanonical books in the Septuagint OT (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 & 2 Maccabees).

These were written several centuries before the Talmud, in the period immediately preceding the events of the NT. These writings--- very familiar to Jesus and the NT authors, who read the Bible in its Septuagint editions --- formed the historic and theological matrix of the writing of the NT.

Some 85% of the OT quotes found in the pages of the New Testament are taken from the Septuagint.

The Catholics and the Orthodox retained these Biblical books. The Protestants and Talmudists rejected them.

You must not have read the Tanukah. Heaven, eternal life, angels etc. are clearly in it. All these major Christian doctrines are completely supported, written about in the Tanukah. I suggest you read it if you haven't, and if you have, please read it again.
