2 Maccabees

2 Mac is known to be fallacious and is not scripture.

2 Mac is also too much to eat and not my favorite sandwich at all.

So, no matter how you cut it, something less than good is going on. It is about the events in 160's BC, but isn't written until, according to Jewish scholars, the period immediately preceding Christ's birth, well over a hundred years later.

The Bible wasn’t amassed by Jewish scholars. It was amassed by the Church. Are you a Jew or a Christian?

Known to be fallacious? By Protestants, no doubt. A number of Fathers accepted the Septuagint as inspired by God and 2 Maccabees was part of that. Both the Orthodox and Catholic Church have accepted it for at least 1700 years. You should have said "it is my OPINION that 2 Maccabees is fallacious", perhaps also giving your reasons why you think that, rather than your proclamation that is at odds with a vast majority of Christianity.

Regards
