Tall_Timbers: Any feedback on the example i used?

Thank your for your response. Authorship: How does one determine authorship? For instance Moses is "thought" to have written The Pentateuch. The variously suggested times of Moses is between 1,600 BC and 1,200 BC. But in either dating the hebrew language had not yet evolved the ability to write...

I have heard the promise of "hearing the scriptures accurately taught" all my life but no two Christian groups can agree what is accurately taught. To avoid the "several hours" problem, why not state your preconceptions and dogmas about how to interpret the scriptures accurately. Which Canon...

OMC: It might be a good time to remind you that many of the authors or at least those who bear their names made extensive use of research books mostly during the writing of the various Prophets. This list comes just from reading the books under discussion. The authors themselves list these...

OMC: Many are very satisfied with the 12 chapters. What they meant then and now is in vast disagreement. By the way the "three fold Hebrew Canon is quite different: The Three Categories of the Tanakh (the Jewish Canon) The Torah (תּוֹרָה)Instruction / Law5 Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus...

I did not make the claim, you did. I'm interested in what kind of truth you had in mind.

OMC: OMC: The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox do accept as deuterocanonical but just a sacred at the first 12 chapters of Daniel. The term deuterocanonical means "second canon." It does not mean these books are secondary in authority or importance; rather, it reflects the historical reality...

Genez: Your claim is that the Book of Daniel teaches "truth." Does that mean it teaches accurate/actual history?

It seems to me that understanding the historical settings of biblical narratives can be helpful. For instance: What as happening in the temple scene in Jerusalem where Jesus overturned the tables of the "money changers? And when in Jesus ministry did this event take place?

Genez, Thank you very much. I am in life long pursuit of a relationship and knowledge of the God we serve. As God has no boundaries, neither do it when it comes to deeply learning His ways and Will.

Psalm 1: Some Christian scholars suggest Jesus used the cultural language of his time rather than making a technical statement about literary authorship to make a point that His Jewish listeners needed to hear.....they didn't.

A distinction without a difference....

If your framework of understanding the Bible is that everything you were told is the "truth" is the "truth" even if billions of other Christians disagree, then by all means hold your dogmas for life.

Cameron143: Thoughts about the book of Daniel The book is full of symbology that probably was more intuitive to the audience to which it was written as the imagery today is strained and unfamiliar to the average reader. However, it uses familiar literary devices to demonstrate that in the...

If you are asking if I use a bible with 66 books, I do. If you are asking if I condemn those using more books scripture (but as an apocrypha) I do not. Many of the books in the 81 book cannon have never been translated into English from ancient Ethiopian.

To do justice to your question, I will review both my notes taken over the years and reread the texts you requested I respond to.

Cameron143 Daniel chapters 2 through 7 form a chiastic structure which is an inverted parallel pattern where the themes of the outer chapters mirror each other as they move toward a central focus. Many forms of literature use this literary device especially poetry. I hear the term "extra...
