Do we know they were written before? If so, how?
Carbon dating? That schmidt has been proven flawed many times, over decades.
The Apocrypha is not accepted as canon BC of the Council of Nicea, so "sealed" by whom? Constantine?
My uncle was a preacher & he used to give me these kind of circular logic answers, always ending with, You just have to have Faith, sometimes interchangeable with Believe.
I'm not criticizing your faith or starting an argument, but there are So Many cliches that people in the church use, & they use them without any thought whatsoever - in the exact same way lefties always employ theirs. Again, not condemning you, personally, I don't know you, but I've heard them all.
Example: it was just so filled with the Spirit, God came Down & He was there in that church with us!
Me, nonplussed: so where was He all the Other times you were there, then? Was He not there, until This time?
Confused look, startled, confused look - Panic: oh, no, no, that's not, um..
Me, finally: I know what you meant, but you all say the Same things, the same Way, you don't even listen to what you're saying, it's all just catchphrases, by rote, at this point.
Dead Sea Scrolls: You ask the people who dated them. They are consistent with other copies of the Old Testament. The point is, they were written before the Council of Nicea even met. And there is no evidence that the Council ever re-wrote any of the books of the Bible.
The Apocrypha are not part of the New Testament. It is the New Testament that seals the meaning of Christianity. What difference does it make to you whether they are canon or not? You are not prevented from reading and believing them.
I'm not your uncle. I'm not a cliche person. Kindly do not paint me with that brush.
I haven't used any catchphrases and you have only diddled around a matter of fact.
Your belief in the corruption of the Bible is as inexplicable than your uncle's faith.
I didn't paint you with that brush. I was courteous & civil to you. You seem in a hurry to be offended so you can whine & rail, but that's a You problem; it has nothing to do with me. You want to repay civility with attacks, go for it. I'm a fucking Marine, you don't scare me.
DON'T think you're going to f-cking talk down at me & reprimand me like I'm one of your children.
And I was courteous and civil to you at the outset, which you rewarded with a comparison to a preacher uncle who "used to give me these kind of circular logic answers, always ending with 'You just have to have Faith'." And then you bring up "so many cliches" in connection with our conversation, but try to run away by saying "not condemning you, personally." So I asked you not to paint me with that brush, even by association. You take that as offense. I'm in no hurry...and I am not "whining" and "railing," which is simply a self-serving exaggeration.
I pointed out that I did not use catchphrases and you translate that into an attack.
If you are a "fucking Marine" you may not scare easily, but you sure get your hackles up with any perceived slight to your manhood. When in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later? I'm not sure I would assign you to lead point.
In my experience, the more belligerent the response, the more talk is cheap.
I notice that you have entirely dropped the subject of our conversation, and have moved on to personal criticism. This also tells me that you have run out of argument.
