That's great. I've not heard of this test being required to demonstrate canonicity. Show me where it says this in every "book" of your OT canon and every book of your NT canon.
Just show me Christ in ANY of the apocrypha... where it contends it is the inspired word of God ..where is the “thus says the Lord” in them?
First, prove that this is a criteria required for determining what belongs in the canon. Then demonstrate that every book in your Bible qualifies using this criterion. Once you demonstrate both of these, then you may have a case.
It is interesting that the book of 2 Maccabees, tells of Nehemiah “founded a library and collected books about the kings and prophets, and the writings of David, and letters of kings about votive offerings” (2:13–15).
Did you have a point?
One of those Books Deuteronomy warns the reader about adding to these books..
Does your Bible have no books after Deuteronomy? Does this warning apply to Luther for adding the word "alone"?
I’m off to bed. But I’ll be back tomorrow, so that gives you 8 hrs or so to prove and demonstrate the criteria you have set for determining canonicity, as requested above.
'cause Jesus said all of Scripture is about him. So conversely, if it isn't about him, it isn't Scripture.
