Scripture, useful for instruction or neither?
I agree, the Deuterocanon is ScriptureFreak4JC said:Back when the book Daniel was accepted as scripture, we used the septuagint which contained Daniel 14 (Bel and the Dragon).
Back when the book of Esther was accepted as scripture, we used the septuagint which contained lots of extra chapters in Esther.
The Church obviously accepted the extended versions of Daniel and Esther as scripture.
Colabomb said:Which Books of the Duterocanon? Orthodox or Roman Catholic Canon?
Freak4JC said:The Orthodox Canon. The Orthodox Church hasn't seemed to have any outrageous beliefs. Supposedly if you compare Orthodox doctrine with the early Church fathers you won't find contradictions. Where as (and I know this to be true) if you compare Vatican Catholic doctrine with the early Church fathers you will find contradictions.
