this is what happens when you trust a story written by a bunch of bronze age desert people
The bible is trust worthy
prove it
so far the creation story goes against everything we know about the universe
through observation
How ?
Because we know the sun is older than the earth
Okay
how do you ***know*** that?

this is from Stanford.

You really think the Bible was written as one giant book don’t you?
The bible is made up of several different books
I guess in a prot bible there is 66 separate books
And in catholic ones it’s 73
Okay yeah
I think the EO have an additional 2 they use, and the OO have the book of Enoch
Yeah there are a lot of books not in the prot bible
But i was arguing a bit with addie about God and creation
@Oboe i think prots or just the main protestant bible only chose the books that have "authority"
Yes
The reason the deuterocanonical books are omitted is due to the belief that they, while being legitimate historical books, are not divinely inspired.
Okay
Those being 1 and 2 Esdras, 1 and 2 Maccabees
Uhhh
Lemme look
What are the other 3
Tobit
According to Wikipedia these ones
Do you know what "Bel and the Dragon" is about ?
Skimming a summary, it’s about idolotary
Oh okay
If I remember when I read the book of Daniel, I’ll let you know
Okay i might read Bel and the dragon
I seem to remember hearing that The duterocanon is what a lot of the knowledge about purgatory is drawn from.
But I may be wrong on that
Okay
