ELWELL, WALTER AND YARBROUGH, ROBERT W., Third Edition (2013) Encountering The New Testament, Grand Rapids, Baker Academic.
The Elwell text informs that some 'modern Bibles include a third section called the apocryphal/deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament. These were written after the last Old Testament prophet (Malachi, ca 430 BC), mainly between about 200 BC and AD 100.' Elwell (2013: 4).
But, although important and valuable religious history is contained, many within scholarship reason these works lack divine authorship in contrast to accepted canonical Scripture and therefore are distinguished from the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and New Testament. Jesus and the apostles (and associates) did not quote from the apocrypha Elwell (2013: 4) and therefore this is an important lack of seal of approval in regard to divine authority. And I would add, there is a lack of approval and acceptance in regard to authorship and divine inspiration and guidance.
Browning explains that after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD Judaism was maintained by rabbis in the Pharisaic tradition and the apocrypha was not accepted. Browning (1997: 20). However, Christians for the most part accepted a longer list of Old Testament canon which led to the Roman Catholic Church labelling the apocrypha as deuterocanonical at second level in contrast to protocanonical at first level. Browning (1997: 20).
At the Reformation, Protestants reverted to a shorter canon, (closer to a Hebrew model) in part because of possible hints of purgatory being detected as doctrine in 2 Maccabees and also in Tobit it was claimed that the doctrine of justification by works existed. Browning (1997: 20).
The Church of England keeps the apocrypha for life and instruction of manners but not as Scripture. Browning (1997: 20).

The World Cup...
Saw Russian blonde from 4th floor have not seen in a couple month may be 'looker' of the building...looks like former employee maybe on way back? Even Christian Uganda MD co-worker was impressed with her looks.
ReplyDeleteShe was always very nice and not stuck up like some of the Western lookers here.
Uganda says the attitudes of the Western women in the Church are terrible, and my other Sikh co-worker, not Mr. S, states the same thing
Uganda says I would need to move on to find someone...
My take is that it is from a culture of abundance...
I wish I could state I disagree, but in love I just cannot. I receive more respect from Eastern Euros and Latins, who at least will dialogue. Not trying to be a jerk, but reporting the news. Love to be shown wrong, but I am not the only one seeing this either...
On the other hand, there is freedom in Christ to be better and prayer for better....John 14-15.

3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because
there was still work to do

Sleeping in an extended chair is already better than being on an airplane but still not as good as a bed...
I doubt a hammock is much better than
a chair that extends.
