-Removed-The Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible. The last book of the Old Testament was written nearly 500 years before the Apostle Paul wrote those letters to Timothy.
Jesus Christ Himself referred to the Hebrew Bible a/k/a Old Testament as “Scriptures.” In his letter to Timothy, Paul was referring to the Hebrew Bible a/k/a Scriptures.
I realize you’re getting angry and frustrated that you can’t talk your way out of this but a blunder this big - what I would call a blunder deluxe - is best ignored by the person who commits it. Instead, you seem determined to draw attention to it.
-Removed-There was no book called bible / scripture used by the Jews before Christ. They were just a collection of scrolls and they consisted of all the books in the present OT Bible plus about 12 other books. In the time of Christ the bible used by the Apostles was the Septuagint which was the Greek version of these Hebrew scrolls.
The fact that the people have removed these books from the OT should make one question everything done by men since the time of Christ. They removed OT books considered 'scripture' by Christ, and decided which books would form the NT in the present bible.
Books like Enoch and several others were considered inspired books or sacred writings by the Jews. A book that is not in the bible does not make its contents less true or accurate than one in the bible. The Jews had a whole list of books they considered inspired.
The present-day Christian is a very narrowminded and shallow personality when it comes to the history and evolution of the current bible and all the changes that were made over the last 2000 yrs. Cleary God is not part of, neither has he inspired these changes.
@plantermoo saidNo, I think Russ will eventually get around to banning you again, due to you being a previously banned poster known for malicious and creepy trolling.
So you’re going to have me banned ‘cause I embarrassed you by exposing your blunder deluxe?
