Do you know what the fundamental difference is between Catholicism and orthodoxy?

not that interested in the precepts of men tbh

they find something that works for them I don't knock it but they're not gonna get far if they ignore fundamentals

“The precepts of men”

I?

yeah people worship the ways of humans instead of the Moshiah

If you’re going to ignore the historical context you can’t really talk about theology

What is and isn’t in the Bible is a series of political decisions made in the late Roman Empire and the century or so that followed

well no I mean if their axioms are dead wrong I don't really care to pay that close of attention to the rest

I mean, they were the ones who decided what Jesus said and what he didn’t

So it’s hard to say their axioms were “dead wrong”

we have a copy of the Tanakh from before Christ and it proves at least the Jewish Bible is virtually 100% unchanged except for the reason they had a burial for that particular copy which is one line added to a psalm

the rest is identical

What’s an example of a dead wrong axiom

The psalms are not in the tanakh

Er worry

... yes they are

*sorry, meant Torah

Tanach is Torah (Pentateuch) and Ha Novi (the prophets)

The Tanakh has been changed

The apocalypse of Abraham, for instance, is not in the tanakh

That was a political decision

well no it's pretty identical to the dead sea scrolls

and yeah we have different canons like the book of Maccabees

not in Tanakh

Is Alexander the Great mentioned in any Abrahamic texts?

No I don’t believe so

Daniel predicts some pretty important figures in history

I think that's why people conclude it must have been a forgery

Yeah, because Daniel was written quite late

Not forgery, just apocryphal

not apocryphal if its in the canon

Daniel is in Ha Novi the prophets

That’s not what apocryphal means

In religious contexts

It can be apocryphal and canon

k, Daniel is part of the Tanakh regardless

Ok, you don’t know theology enough to discuss this

nah I just don't play these silly word games lol

Or don’t know the history well enough I guess

Idk, no word game here
