Guest Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The problem is what do people consider complete? The 66 or imo the 93 from the Ethiopian Christians? People are stuck on this 66 spiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nonsense from Protestant reformation. The Catholic bible has more than the 66. The Ethiopian orthodox bible is just more complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 66 books of the Bible contain a thematic unity on several levels that are not shared by the either the pseudographical books or the Apocryphal books. It is one of the reasons why we know the 66 books of the Bible are the word of God and the extra books in the Ethiopian canon and the Apocrypha are not the Word of God. It has nothing to do with the protestant Reformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's extremely biased pov. I would much rather have all the biblical authors and books mentioned in the Bible instead of not having them at all. It gives an amazing background to the 66.

Please explain. What part do you not understand exactly? Quote Sure, theological liberals will dispute nearly every book of the 66 not just the 39, but what do we have in common with them? If people follow their biased research they will end up as much as a reprobate as those false teachers that place the date of Daniel at about 100 BC or say there are three Isaiahs etc. Or, Biblical Scholars with years of experience arrive at the study unbiased and invested in delineating the truth of the historic faith dedicated to the teachings of Christ. Beginning with the authors and textual evidences arrived at from what was an oral designate in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the word, etymology, and then, bible, would assist you in understanding. It is my hope. Blessings, Quote You do realize the term 'biblical scholars' cover a wide range of scholarship from conservatives to those bent on disproving the bible. You had better be careful from which fold your 'scholars' are picked from. You are aware of the Jesus Seminar for example? I do realize. And I am aware.
